    2. ACCESS TO OVHCLOUD SERVICES.

As a condition to using the OVHcloud Services, Customer must set up an authorized Account with Login Credentials. Customer will provide accurate and complete information in its Account and will update its information as necessary to keep it current. For purposes of fraud prevention, OVHcloud may require Customer to provide documentation verifying their identity and payment information.

OVHcloud may change the OVHcloud Services at any time, and may add, modify or discontinue references, ranges, options or features, as well as upgrade performance of OVHcloud Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to Third Party Products and urgent changes to the OVHcloud Services in response to security risks, or legal or regulatory compliance updates may result in immediate modifications to the OVHcloud Services. In the case of an update that substantially degrades existing OVHcloud Services in use by Customer (removal of functionality, performance downgrade, etc.), Customer may terminate the relevant OVHcloud Services by notifying the OVHcloud Customer Support Team, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date the relevant update is implemented.
    4. END OF LIFE. In the event that any OVHcloud Service or any significant function, feature of or component thereof reaches end-of-life, OVHcloud will attempt to notify You at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the end-of-life date (the “EOL Date“). Customer is responsible for migrating to a new OVHcloud Service before the EOL Date or otherwise cease using said OVHcloud Service before the EOL Date. Prior to the EOL Date, OVHcloud will offer a comparable OVHcloud Service for You to migrate to for the remainder of your Service Term. If OVHcloud does not have a comparable OVHcloud Service to offer, or if the replacement OVHcloud Service (or any significant function, feature or component thereof) is offered at a significant increase in associated Fees and you elect to reject the offer, you may cease using the OVHcloud Services as of the EOL Date and request a pro-rated credit for any pre-paid and unused Fees. If you do not notify OVHcloud prior to the EOL Date of your intent to cease using the OVHcloud Service and/or rejection of a replacement OVHcloud Service offering, then you will be deemed to have accepted the OVHcloud Service offer and will migrate to it for the remainder of your Service Term.
    5. SUPPORT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OVHcloud will provide support to Customer for the OVHcloud Services in accordance with the then applicable Support Policy. Customer acknowledges that OVHcloud is not responsible for technical issues that cannot be identified as being primarily caused by the OVHcloud Services.

  3. ORDERING

    1. PURCHASES AND PRICING. Customer may purchase the right to access and use the OVHcloud Services by (i) registering for the applicable OVHcloud Services through Customer’s Account, or (ii) executing an OVHcloud Order Form. OVHcloud offers different types of rates depending on the type of OVHcloud Service (monthly flat-rate, yearly flat-rate, metered-usage, etc.). These rates may be linked to a commitment to a particular period of use and/or a specific method of invoicing. Purchase of the OVHcloud Services includes access to any applicable Support during the Service Term. The provisioning time for OVHcloud Services may vary depending on the OVHcloud Services ordered. Some OVHcloud Services are made available only upon receipt by OVHcloud of payment from Customer in advance for the relevant OVHcloud Services. It is the responsibility of Customer to ensure the delivery terms for the ordered OVHcloud Services meets Customer’s needs.
    2. PAYMENT METHOD. Customer will pay OVHcloud in accordance with the payment method identified in Customer’s Account or in an OVHcloud Order Form, as applicable. Payment method options may include payment (i) by credit card, (ii) via eCheck/ACH, or (iii) through an online account with a third-party provider, such as Paypal. If Customer makes an automatic payment arrangement, OVHcloud will provide Customer with a writing or its electronic equivalent describing the terms of such automatic payment arrangement. To use this automatic payment arrangement, Customer agrees to receive the terms of such authorization electronically as set forth herein. Customer also agrees that its electronic acceptance of the terms of such authorizations will constitute valid and binding electronic signature that will have the same force and effect as a handwritten signature by Customer. Customer will provide true, complete and accurate information with respect to the applicable method of payment and agrees to promptly contact OVHcloud and to otherwise update Customer’s Account if any such information needs to be updated. Customer will ensure that Customer has sufficient funds or credit (as applicable) associated with the selected method of payment. Customer understands that the amounts charged or debited may vary and that this authorization will remain in effect until the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If an ACH payment is returned from the applicable bank account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, OVHcloud may reinitiate the returned ACH debit to the applicable bank account. Any amounts owed to OVHcloud that cannot be collected by ACH debit may be charged to any backup credit card on file for Customer.
    3. PURCHASE ORDER. Customer may elect to issue a purchase order to OVHcloud or an OVHcloud Partner, as applicable, by indicating its preference to do so on the applicable OVHcloud Order Form. If Customer so elects to issue a purchase order, Customer must issue such purchase order to OVHcloud or an OVHcloud Partner within five (5) business days from the Effective Date of any OVHcloud Order Form, or OVHcloud shall have the option to cancel the OVHcloud Order Form and its terms shall be null and void. Any additional or conflicting terms contained in any Customer purchase order, proposal or other document shall be deemed to be rejected by OVHcloud without need of further notice of objection, even if such document is acknowledged or accepted by OVHcloud, and regardless of any statement to the contrary which may be contained therein, and shall be of no effect or in any way binding upon OVHcloud.
    4. PAYMENT TERMS. Customers who choose to pay by credit card or PayPal shall be charged on behalf of OVHcloud on or about the date Customer is invoiced by OVHcloud for the OVHcloud Services purchased. Subject to a successful credit check initiated by OVHcloud, Customers that pay by eCheck or ACH will pay all invoices issued by OVHcloud within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the invoice or as otherwise set forth in an applicable OVHcloud Order Form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer has arranged for payment by credit card or PayPal, OVHcloud may charge Customer’s payment method, which may be Customer’s card, on or after the invoice date. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, all Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Unless otherwise set forth in the Service Specific Terms, all monthly or prepaid Fees will be due in advance and all Fees based on actual metered usage of an OVHcloud Service will be due in arrears. If any payment is delinquent (including if payment is late due to a credit card chargeback or insufficient funds), OVHcloud may, without limiting any remedies available to OVHcloud: (i) terminate this Agreement and/or any applicable OVHcloud Order Form; or (ii) suspend performance of or access to the applicable OVHcloud Services, until payment is made current. Customer will pay interest on all delinquent amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. If OVHcloud terminates this Agreement for non-payment, the Fees for the remainder of the Service Term shall be due immediately. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by OVHcloud in collecting any delinquent amounts. All Fees are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, value added, withholding and other taxes, and all customs duties and tariffs now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority upon the OVHcloud Services will be paid by Customer. OVHcloud reserves the right to increase prices for OVHcloud Services at any time, although increases in prices for OVHcloud Services will not go into effect until the next renewal of the Service Term. Upon commencement of any Renewal Term, unless otherwise provided in the terms of an applicable promotion or provided in an OVHcloud Order, any promotional pricing or discounts shall automatically discontinue, and Customer shall be charged the rates for the OVHcloud Services posted on the OVHcloud website or detailed in the applicable OVHcloud Order Form. If Customer purchases through an OVHcloud Partner, all fees and other procurement and delivery terms will be agreed between Customer and the applicable OVHcloud Partner. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, OVHCLOUD IS NOT OBLIGATED TO REFUND ANY FEES OR OTHER PAYMENTS ALREADY PAID, AND ANY CANCELLATION BY CUSTOMER WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF THE APPLICABLE SERVICE TERM.
    5. INVOICE DISPUTES. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to OVHcloud, OVHcloud will apply credit to Customer’s Account. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty (60) calendar days after being invoiced by OVHcloud.
    6. EU CONSUMER POLICY. If You are a consumer based in the EU, You have the right to cancel this Agreement within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date on which You requested the OVHcloud Services, without giving any reason. To exercise Your right to cancel, You must notify OVHcloud of Your decision to cancel this Agreement by contacting Customer Support via OVHcloud Control Panel or email directed to support@corp.ovh.us. To meet the fourteen (14) calendar day deadline provided above, it is sufficient for You to send Your notification concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. If You cancel this Agreement, we will reimburse to You all payments received from You without undue delay and not later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the day on which we are informed about Your decision to cancel the Agreement. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as You used for the initial transaction, unless You have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. If You are a consumer based in the EU and You have agreed to the OVHcloud Services commencing immediately, You will be required to pay a pro-rated amount of the Fees applicable to the OVHcloud Services You have requested based on the initial Fees You have paid for the OVHcloud Services and the date on which You exercise Your statutory right to cancel the Agreement.
  4. CONFIDENTIALITY

    As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means, subject to the exceptions set forth in the following sentence, any information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either OVHcloud or Customer (the “Disclosing Party“) that the Disclosing Party has either marked as confidential or proprietary, or has identified in writing as confidential or proprietary within thirty (30) calendar days of disclosure to the other party (the “Receiving Party“); provided, however, that a Disclosing Party’s business plans, strategies, technology, research and development, current and prospective customers, billing records, and products or services will be deemed Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party even if not so marked or identified. OVHcloud’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the OVHcloud Services, any information related thereto and the Login Credentials. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (a) is known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the Disclosing Party) to the Receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (c) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or (d) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. Neither OVHcloud nor Customer will disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the other party’s Confidential Information directly or indirectly, to any third party without the other party’s prior written consent. Both OVHcloud and Customer will use commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and value of the other party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, in whole or in part: (i) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisers (e.g., attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, accountants and other professional representatives) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties to keep such Confidential Information confidential consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) as required by Applicable Law (in which case each party will, if permitted by Applicable Law, provide the other with prior written notification thereof and use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law). Both OVHcloud and Customer agree to exercise due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of an actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Both OVHcloud and Customer will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.
  5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND RESTRICTIONS

    1. OWNERSHIP. This Agreement contains a limited right to access and use the OVHcloud Services during a Service Term, not a transfer of title to the OVHcloud Services. All Intellectual Property Rights in the OVHcloud Services belong exclusively to OVHcloud and its licensors. Customer is granted no licenses of any kind to any Intellectual Property Rights other than as expressly granted herein. Customer will not do, or cause to be done, any acts or things contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair any portion of the right, title, and interest of OVHcloud in and to the Intellectual Property Rights. Customer will not delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices or markings that appear on the OVHcloud Services as delivered to Customer.

    2. RESTRICTIONS. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer will have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to, and will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each User does not: (i) transfer, assign or sublicense the OVHcloud Services to another person or entity, and Customer acknowledges that any such attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense will be void; (ii) make error corrections to, or otherwise modify or adapt, the OVHcloud Services or create derivative works based upon the OVHcloud Services, or permit third parties to do the same; (iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the OVHcloud Services to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under Applicable Law notwithstanding this restriction; (iv) disclose, provide or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the OVHcloud Services in any form, to any third party without the prior written consent of OVHcloud; or (vi) use or access the OVHcloud Services (A) to develop any similar software applications, products or services, (B) to spam, distribute malware or conduct other malicious, abusive, intrusive or illegal activities, including denial of service attacks, (C) to engage in crypto currency mining, (D) in a way that could harm the OVHcloud Services or impair anyone else’s use of it, (E) in a way intended to work around the OVHcloud Services’ technical limitations, recurring fees or usage limits, (F) to violate any rights of others, (G) to try to gain unauthorized access to, test the vulnerability of, or disrupt the OVHcloud Services or any other service, device, data account or network or (H) in any application or situation where failure of the OVHcloud Services could lead to the death or serious bodily injury of any person or to severe physical or environmental damage. For clarity sake, crypto currency mining, denial of service attacks, spamming or any other activity designed to, or capable of disrupting, damaging or limiting the functionality of any OVHcloud Services is strictly prohibited. This does not affect the Customer’s right to use consensus mechanisms such as “proof of stake” to verify transactions in the blockchain, provided that any such mechanisms do not fall under the restrictions set forth above.
  6. DATA SECURITY

    1. PRIVACY AND DATA STORAGE. OVHcloud’s privacy and data storage practices are described in OVHcloud’s data processing agreement located here (the “Data Processing Agreement“), which is hereby incorporated by reference.

If OVHcloud contacts Customer to verify compliance, Customer will provide information or other materials reasonably requested to assist in the verification (For German customers only: A Customer from Germany is only obliged to provide information necessary for such verification, available to the Customer and reasonably requested for such verification). OVHcloud may monitor the overall performance and stability of the infrastructure of the OVHcloud Services. Customer may not block or interfere with that monitoring. If OVHcloud reasonably believes a problem with the OVHcloud Services may be attributable to Content Data or Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services, Customer will cooperate with OVHcloud to identify the source of and resolve that problem.
    3. PROTECTED INFORMATION. You represent and warrant that You will not submit any unencrypted Protected Health Information, as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (45 CFR 160.103), or any unencrypted personally identifiable information subject to regulatory protection under Applicable Law (collectively “Unencrypted Protected Information“) to OVHcloud, whether as part of the OVHcloud Services or otherwise. You represent and warrant that You will not submit any encrypted Protected Health Information, as defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (45 CFR 160.103), or any encrypted personally identifiable information subject to regulatory protection under U.S. law (collectively “Encrypted Protected Information“) to OVHcloud, whether as part of the OVHcloud Services or otherwise, unless we have entered into a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA“).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, You recognize and agree that OVHcloud will have no liability whatsoever under this Agreement or otherwise for any Unencrypted Protected Information or Encrypted Protected Information You provide in violation of this Section, and You agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless OVHcloud from any third party claims resulting from a violation or alleged violation of this Section.

Customer hereby grants to OVHcloud a royalty-free, fully paid up, worldwide, sublicensable, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 19(j)) right and license to copy, display, distribute, modify and otherwise use the Content Data, solely as necessary to provide the OVHcloud Services to Customer. Customer further acknowledges that OVHcloud may collect Usage Data and may aggregate and/or anonymize Usage Data to use for statistical purposes and share samples of such aggregated and/or anonymized Usage Data with other third parties. (For German customers only: If Customer is from Germany, OVHcloud may only collect and aggregate anonymized Usage Data to use for statistical purposes and share samples of such aggregated and anonymized Usage Data with other third parties.)
    2. CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS. Customer will only use the OVHcloud Services with Content Data to which it has full right, title or license. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that its use of the OVHcloud Services and related backup to and storage of Content Data complies and will comply with all Applicable Laws, including those related to data privacy, data security, international communication and the exportation of technical, personal or sensitive data. Customer will not, and will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each User does not, distribute, publish, store or transmit content that: (i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to anyone; (ii) may create a risk of any other loss or damage to any person or property; (iii) may constitute or contribute to a crime or tort; (iv) contains any information or content that is illegal, unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; or (v) contains any information or content that You do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships.

If Customer becomes aware that any of the Content Data or any User’s access to or use of the Content Data violates this Agreement, Customer will take immediate action to remove the applicable part of Content Data or suspend the User’s access. Customer will ensure that Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services complies at all times with Customer’s privacy policies and all Applicable Laws, including any encryption requirements. Customer is solely responsible for Content Data. Except as provided in the Data Processing Agreement, Customer is responsible for protecting the security of Content Data, including any access to Content Data that Customer provides to its employees, customers or other third parties, and when it is in transit to and from the OVHcloud Services. Customer must take and maintain commercially reasonable steps regarding the security, protection and backup of Content Data, which might include the use of encryption technology to protect Content Data from unauthorized access. Customer is responsible for providing any necessary notices to Users and for obtaining any legally-required consents from Users concerning their use of the OVHcloud Services. Customer is responsible for any losses or other consequences arising from Customer’s failure to encrypt or back up Content Data. Customer will have and maintain appropriate policies and procedures for cybersecurity and to ensure compliance with its regulatory or legal obligations.
    3. TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT. By providing your telephone number(s) to OVHcloud, you consent to receive telephone calls by and behalf of OVHcloud and its affiliates, including telephone calls made by or using an automatic telephone dialing system or artificial or prerecorded voice, at the number(s) you have provided, for all non-marketing purposes, including but not limited to all purposes described in this Agreement or relating to OVHcloud Services.
    4. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT. OVHcloud respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we require our Customers to do the same. The contact information for our Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA“) agent is as follows: If you believe your copyright is being infringed by content on the OVHcloud network, please submit a notice of infringement via our Webform, located here:

      REPORT COPYRIGHT ABUSE

      The Webform is the fastest and easiest way to report possible copyright infringement. OVHcloud is committed to managing copyright complaints responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws, but OVHcloud cannot determine whether something is being used legally without input from the copyright holders. In those circumstances where the United States DMCA is applicable, it is our policy to expeditiously process all valid notices of alleged copyright infringement. Please note that sending a DMCA notice initiates a statutorily-defined legal process and we will share your full notice, including your contact information, with the OVHcloud customer at issue. In most instances, OVHcloud does not have access to particular content hosted by OVHcloud customers. Thus, upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, OVHcloud will forward your notice to the appropriate OVHcloud customer and require a timely and adequate response from the OVHcloud customer. You may also send your DMCA notice directly to the OVHcloud customer as well. OVHcloud has adopted and reasonably implemented a policy that provides for suspension of IP’s containing infringing content data that is not promptly removed by OVHcloud customers, temporary suspension of an OVHcloud customer’s account and termination in appropriate circumstances of OVHcloud customers who are repeat infringers. For additional details and information concerning OVHcloud’s DMCA policies and procedures, please click here.
  8. THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS

    Customer is responsible for any Third Party Products that a third party licenses, sells or makes available to Customer that Customer installs or uses with the OVHcloud Services. Customer’s use of such Third Party Products is governed by separate terms between Customer and that third party. OVHcloud is not a party to and is not bound by any of those separate terms. Customer is responsible for all fees and costs associated with its use of such Third Party Products, including responsibility for any usage-based or overage charges, or increases in fees or other assessments from the applicable third party. Certain Third Party Products may carry a limited warranty from the third-party provider of such Third Party Products. To the extent required or allowed, if OVHcloud makes available to Customer a Third Party Product in connection with Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services, OVHcloud will pass through to Customer any such manufacturer warranties related to such Third Party Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that OVHcloud is not responsible for the availability or for the fulfillment of any Third Party Product warranty or for problems attributable to use of Third Party Products.

You are responsible for reviewing, accepting, and complying with any third party terms of use or other restrictions applicable to the Third Party Product. OVHcloud reserves the right to suspend or terminate any Third Party Products at any time. The third party terms applicable to Third Party Products made available by OVHcloud are available here, as may be modified from time to time (the “Third Party Terms“).
  9. TERM AND TERMINATION

    1. TERM. This Agreement will be effective upon Customer’s execution of an OVHcloud Order Form or when Customer otherwise clicks a box agreeing to this Agreement (during Account creation or otherwise) and, unless earlier terminated as set forth in this Agreement, continue in effect for the initial service term identified on the OVHcloud Order Form or selected in the Account, as applicable (the “Initial Service Term“). UNLESS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN AN OVHCLOUD ORDER FORM, IF APPLICABLE, THIS AGREEMENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF EQUAL DURATION (EACH, A “RENEWAL TERM“), UNLESS EITHER PARTY GIVES NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL AT LEAST THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM OR, IF THE SERVICE TERM IS MONTH-TO-MONTH, EITHER PARTY MAY GIVE NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN CURRENT SERVICE TERM. You may provide notice of non-renewal by submitting a support ticket online through Your OVHcloud Account.
    2. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, Customer may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time by giving OVHcloud at least thirty (30) calendar days’ advance written notice. If Customer elects to terminate this Agreement for convenience in accordance with this Section 9(b), they shall be subject to an early termination fee equal to the monthly recurring Fees multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Service Term.
    3. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. In addition to any other termination rights set forth in this Agreement, (i) OVHcloud can terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches Section 5(b) or Section 7(b); and (ii) either party can terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party if (A) such other party breaches this Agreement (other than breaches of Section 5(b) or 7(b)) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof or (B) such other party (1) becomes insolvent, admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) becomes subject to control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or (3) an equivalent or similar event or proceeding occurs in respect of the Customer in any jurisdiction (in each case of (1), (2) and (3), which, if initiated involuntarily, is not dismissed within forty-five (45) calendar days of its institution).
    4. EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. THE TERMINATION OF THE OVHCLOUD SERVICES WILL CAUSE SUCH OVHCLOUD SERVICES TO CEASE FUNCTIONING AND RESULT IN CUSTOMER NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS ANY CONTENT DATA. FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, OVHCLOUD WILL DESTROY ALL CONTENT DATA (WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO SECTION 9(e) BELOW). The termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect: (i) the obligations of Customer and OVHcloud to account for and pay to one another any amounts for which they are obligated by virtue of transactions or events which occurred prior to the effective date of termination; or (ii) any other obligation or liability which either Customer or OVHcloud has to the other under this Agreement and which, by its nature, would reasonably be expected to survive termination. The following Sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 1, 3(b), 3(c), 4, 5, 6(c), 7(a), 9(d), 9(e), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 19.
    5. CONTENT DATA POST EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION. Before expiration or termination of the applicable Service Term, OVHcloud recommends that Customer ensures it places a copy of its Content Data in a place that can be accessed without the OVHcloud Services. Provided that Customer is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, OVHcloud may extend Customer’s ability to access the OVHcloud Services for fifteen (15) calendar days following the end of the Service Term if Customer notifies OVHcloud via email (directed to support@us.ovhcloud.com) prior to the end of the Service Term. In such event, (i) OVHcloud will enable Customer’s access to the OVHcloud Services for a maximum of fifteen (15) calendar days following the end of the Service Term (at no additional cost to Customer) for the sole purpose of enabling Customer’s retrieval of its Content Data, and (ii) Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services during such complimentary period is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. OVHcloud is not responsible for the availability or accessibility of Content Data following the later of (A) the expiration of the complimentary period should Customer make such request or (B) the end of the Service Term. Based on a subpoena, law enforcement request, court order or your violation of this Agreement, OVHcloud may terminate your account immediately. In such cases, Customer may not be provided with the ability to access and retrieve their Content Data.
  10. SUSPENSION

    1. GENERALLY. OVHcloud may suspend Your use of the OVHcloud Services if OVHcloud reasonably determines: (i) Customer, or Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services, is in breach of this Agreement; (ii) Customer fails to address OVHcloud’s request to take action as specified in Section 7(b); (iii) Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services poses a security risk to the OVHcloud Services or other users of the OVHcloud Services; (iv) suspension is warranted pursuant to OVHcloud’s receipt of a subpoena, court order, or a request by a law enforcement agency; or (v) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. OVHcloud may give You notice before OVHcloud suspends You, subject to Applicable Law. However, OVHcloud reserves the right to suspend You, without prior notice if, in OVHcloud’s sole discretion, you have violated this Agreement or OVHcloud reasonably determines that providing You with notice presents risk of harm to the OVHcloud Services or any person or property. OVHcloud is entitled to obtain injunctive relief if Customer’s use of the OVHcloud Services is in violation of any restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
    2. EFFECT OF SUSPENSION. You will remain responsible for all Fees incurred before or during any suspension. You will not be entitled to any service credits under any applicable Service Level Agreement that You might have otherwise accrued during the period of suspension.
  11. ALLOCATION OF RISK

    Customer acknowledges and agrees that OVHcloud has set its prices and entered into this Agreement and permitted Customer’s access to the OVHcloud Services in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability in this Agreement, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between OVHcloud and Customer (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between OVHcloud and Customer. If Customer is subject to Applicable Laws that prohibit Customer from indemnifying OVHcloud as set forth herein or prohibit Customer from entering into the risk allocation arrangement set forth herein, then the terms of such provisions of this Agreement will apply to Customer only to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, it being understood that Customer and OVHcloud each wish to enforce the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

    2. IF CUSTOMER IS FROM GERMANY, NONE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGE FROM INJURY TO LIFE, BODY OR HEALTH OR ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE ARISING FROM GROSSLY NEGLIGENT OR INTENTIONAL BREACH OF DUTY OR OTHER CONDUCT.
    3. FURTHER LIMITATIONS. OVHcloud’s licensors and service providers will have no liability of any kind under this Agreement. Customer may not bring a claim under this Agreement more than eighteen (18) months after the cause of action arises. For German customers only Customer may not bring a claim under this Agreement more than eighteen (18) month after the cause of action arises and the Customer obtains knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to the claim and of the identity of the obligor, or would have obtained such knowledge if he had not shown gross negligence.
  14. COPYRIGHT, PATENT, TRADE SECRET, AND TRADEMARK INDEMNITY

    1. INDEMNITY FOR OVHCLOUD SERVICES. Subject to the remainder of this Section 14, OVHcloud will defend Customer against an Infringement Claim and indemnify Customer from the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against Customer to that third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement; provided that Customer: (i) promptly provides OVHcloud with notice of any Infringement Claim; (ii) grants OVHcloud sole control over the claim’s defense and settlement, and any related action challenging the validity of the allegedly infringed patent, trademark or copyright; and (iii) reasonably cooperates in response to OVHcloud’s requests for assistance. Customer may not settle or compromise any Infringement Claim without OVHcloud’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OVHcloud will have no obligation under this Section or otherwise with respect to any claim or award based on: (i) a combination of the OVHcloud Services with non-OVHcloud data, products, business processes or content, including Content Data; (ii) use of the OVHcloud Services for a purpose or in a manner not specified in this Agreement or the Service Specific Terms, or otherwise in a manner for which the OVHcloud Services were not designed; (iii) any modification of the OVHcloud Services made without OVHcloud’s express written approval; or (iv) any Evaluation Service. This Section 14(a) states Your exclusive remedy for any Infringement Claims save that where the Customer is a consumer based in the EU, nothing in this Section 14(a) will limit or exclude the Customer’s statutory rights except as permitted by Applicable Law.
    2. INDEMNITY FOR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS. To the extent required or allowed, OVHcloud will pass through to Customer any indemnities related to Third Party Products, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that OVHcloud is not responsible for the fulfillment of any Third Party Product indemnities or for problems attributable to use of Third Party Products.
    3. REMEDIES. If any component of the OVHcloud Services becomes, or in OVHcloud’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, OVHcloud will at OVHcloud’s option and expense: (i) procure the rights necessary for Customer to keep using such component; (ii) modify or replace such component to make it non-infringing; or (iii) terminate this Agreement and refund any pre-paid fees for any OVHcloud Services pro-rated for its remaining term.
  15. INDEMNITY BY CUSTOMER

    Customer will, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, indemnify OVHcloud and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “OVHcloud Indemnified Parties“) against and hold the OVHcloud Indemnified Parties harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with investigating, defending, or settling any claim relating to or arising out of any acts or omissions on the part of Customer which give rise to claims against the OVHcloud Indemnified Parties by third parties (unaffiliated with OVHcloud), provided any final settlement will require OVHcloud’s consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld) if the final settlement or compromise does not provide for the unconditional and full release of the OVHcloud Indemnified Parties or if the final settlement or compromise requires the specific performance of the OVHcloud Indemnified Parties. In all events, OVHcloud will have the right to participate in the defense of any such suit or proceeding through counsel of its own choosing at OVHcloud’s own cost. Customer will also indemnify and hold harmless the OVHcloud Indemnified Parties for any costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in responding to any subpoena, search warrant, or court order requiring production of information or documents related to Customer (“Requests“).

Customer and OVHcloud each agree to not violate or knowingly let anyone violate the FCPA and that no payment it makes will constitute a bribe, influence payment, kickback, rebate, or other payment that violates the FCPA or any other applicable anti-corruption or anti-bribery law.
