Customer can also order Services by activating them through the Customer’s account on Gсore’s website or other system operated by Gсore. By activating such Services, Customer consents to the prices indicated.

2.2 Customer acknowledges that Gсore (a) does not own or control all local circuit links, leased co-location spaces, leased space cross-connects, Internet service providers (“ISP”) providing connectivity to Gсore, other networks outside the connectivity to Gсore or ISPs, or the Internet and except as set forth in the SLA, Gсore will not be responsible for performance or non-performance within such networks or within non-Gсore operated interconnection points between the connectivity and other networks, (b) is a mere intermediary (i.e., mere conduit in accordance with article 12 of Directive 2000/31/EC on E-Commerce and the implementing article 60 of Luxembourg E-Commerce Act of 14 August 2000 or similar provision) for transmission of Customer Content and does not exercise editorial or other control over such materials and (c) will not be responsible for, and expressly disclaims any liability arising from, any such materials or other data accessible on the Internet or for any actions taken on the Internet.

2.4 To be eligible for a Service Credit under the SLA as defined there, Customer must be in good standing with no delinquent invoices, in addition to any other SLA requirements.

2.6 Gсore may modify the configuration of the Services, provided such modifications are necessary due to technical, economic or regulatory developments or to maintain the quality standard of Services and such modification will not affect the essential characteristic features of Services ordered.

Customer’s continued use of Services following the modification will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the modification.

2.7 Scheduled Maintenance may cause interruptions to the Services in part or as a whole.

2.8 Gсore may carry out Scheduled Maintenance which is unlikely to affect the Services at its own discretion and without notice. Insofar as Scheduled Maintenance will likely cause interruptions to the Services in part or as a whole or any other problems for the Customer, Gсore will notify Customer at least seven (7) Days in advance or with as much advance notice as reasonably possible in the event that Gсore receives a maintenance notification from an underlying provider. The notification will include time and date, duration and description of any such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Gсore reasonably believes that timely providing such notice would result in an unacceptable risk of a defect, damage or loss of integrity to the Gсore’s network or equipment, Gсore may perform such work and may serve notice to Customer of the need to perform emergency maintenance on the network or equipment with a notice period reasonable under the given the circumstances.

2.9 Irrespective of the actual duration of the usage of a Service by Customer, Gcore charges Customer for the full month of such Service, starting from the calendar month in which such Service was activated.

Gсore will have no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with any use of the Services during the Free Service Period.

(b) Use any Service for commercial or professional purpose;

(c) Resell and/or engage in any sub-contracting of the Services.

2.13 Gсore may at its own discretion and without notice change the terms and conditions of the Free Service Period and introduce any restrictions and limitations.

3. Acceptable Use

3.1 As between the Parties, Customer is solely responsible for any Customer Content stored, reproduced, displayed or distributed using Services. All use of Services, unless otherwise indicated in a Service Order, is governed by the AUP, which is made a part of this Agreement.

3.2 If Gсore determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that Customer Content or Customer’s use of Services violates the AUP or otherwise adversely impacts the Services, Gсore reserves the right to take remedial measures including blocking or disabling access. Gсore will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the measures to the extent necessary to resolve the adverse impact without undue interruption of Services. The Parties will work together in good faith to resolve the problems or issues causing, in whole or part, the adverse impact.

4. Cooperation and Customer Obligations

4.1 For Services to function as intended, Customer must cooperate in good faith with Gсore to configure and enable Services. When Customer elects to send or receive Customer Content using Services, Customer is solely responsible for modifying its content identifiers, consistent with instructions that Gсore provides, to enable Gсore to deliver the selected content. This may include changing the alias information in Customer’s DNS record so that hostname addresses of page objects resolve to Gсore’s servers.

4.2 Customer acknowledges that the timely and successful performance of Services requires good faith cooperation by the Customer. Therefore, Customer will (a) furnish all information reasonably requested by Gсore, (b) comply with all laws, regulations, orders and statutes which may be applicable to Customer, and (c) timely perform its obligations as necessary to meet any schedule or deadline in the applicable Service Order. In the event that any failure by the Customer to comply with the provisions of this section 4 results in any delay, deficiency or interruption in the performance of Services, Gсore shall not be deemed in breach of the applicable Service Order for such delay and Customer shall be responsible for any costs reasonably incurred by Gсore in addressing and remedying such delay, deficiency or interruption.

4.3 The Services provided by Gсore pursuant to this Agreement and under any Service Order shall only be used for purposes assumed under this Agreement, and in accordance with applicable local legislation, rules and regulations. Gсore shall be entitled, at its reasonable option, to immediately suspend Services if in its sole opinion Services are being used in a manner that may result in liability or other damage for Gсore.

5. Fees and Payment

5.1 Customer will pay to Gсore all Fees incurred on Customer’s account in full, as set forth in this Agreement and any Service Order, without set-off, withholding or deduction by Customer. Gсore may increase the Fees, including fees for Services with subscription terms, during annual price indexation. The maximum increase is the higher of (a) 5% or (b) the CPI index in Luxembourg for the previous year. The notification about the indexation will be made either by e-mail or a notice in Gсore’s systems visible to the Customer. The increase can occur each year on the anniversary of the Service Start Date for a specific Service. For different Services separate Service Start Dates may apply.

5.2 All charges are exclusive of Taxes, Customer is solely responsible for all Taxes payable in connection with Services. If Customer provides Gсore with a valid, duly executed tax exemption certificate, Gсore will exempt Customer from Taxes in accordance with the law, effective on the date Gсore receives the exemption certificate. If Customer is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due hereunder to Gсore, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the gross amount payable by Customer to Gсore will be increased so that, after any such deduction or withholding for taxes, the net amount received by Gсore will not be less than Gсore would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.

5.3 Upon mutual Acceptance of a Service Order, Gсore will begin billing Customer for MRC as of the Service Start Date. Gсore will bill Customer for MRCs at the beginning of a calendar month for the Services provided in the previous month. Gсore will invoice Customer for any overage and other usage charges, if applicable, the following month the usage occurred.

5.4 All Fees will be billed and payable in euros, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. Customer will pay all MRCs through the Term, regardless of whether or how much Customer uses the committed Services. If Gсore cannot begin timely delivery of Services for any reason caused by Customer, Gсore nonetheless may, in its sole discretion, begin billing Customer for MRCs as of the Service Start Date. Any Service Credit granted under the SLA for a Downtime will be applied to the next applicable invoice, against any charges for MRCs and/or overages.

5.5 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, Customer shall pay all invoices within fourteen (14) Days of the invoice date by transferring the invoiced amounts to the bank account designated on the invoice. All invoices may be provided to Customer electronically. In respect of all due and unpaid invoiced amounts, Gсore reserves the right to charge (i) in addition to the legal interest, an interest of one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) per month of all invoiced amounts from the due date as set out above until full and final payment of such amounts and (ii) reasonable collection costs incurred in respect of such unpaid invoiced amounts, including but not limited to reasonable legal expenses.

5.6 Prices indicated on the website of Gсore are subject to change upon a 30 days’ notice by Gсore to Customer via the Gсore’s notification system. Such changes will not apply retroactively.

All communication between Customer and Gсore regarding Defect reports and remedying of Defects shall be in English.

If a Defect reported by Customer is found not to be attributable to Gсore, then Customer shall compensate Gсore at Gсore’s then current hourly rates (depending on the level of technical qualification of Gсore’s personnel that investigated the alleged Defect) and for any expenses Gсore may have incurred (e.g. for using Gсore’s Affiliates and/or Gсore’s subcontractors) when investigating and/or remedying the alleged Defect.

12.1 Customer will, at its cost, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Gсore and its officers, directors, employees, agents and permitted successors and assigns (each a “Gсore Indemnitee”) through final judgment or settlement, from and against any third-party claim, action, suit, proceeding, judgments, settlements, losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) and costs (including allocable costs of in-house counsel) (“Claim”) brought against a Gсore Indemnitee arising out of or based upon (a) bodily injury, death or loss of or damage to real or tangible personal property to the extent that such Claims were alleged to have been proximately caused by any negligent act, omission or wilful misconduct of Customer or their respective agents or employees; (b) operation or use of Customer’s products, websites or services; (c) Customer Content, including any allegation that Customer Content or any other data or information provided by Customer infringes any third party Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise violates applicable law; (d) Customer’s failure to comply in any material respect with the AUP or applicable law; (e) the unauthorized use of or access to Services by any person using Customer’s systems or network; (f) Gсore’s compliance with Customer specifications; (g) a combination or modification of the Services by or on behalf of Customer by anyone other than Gсore or its authorized agents; (h) distribution (including by sale or importation), decoding, decrypting, duplication, storage, display/playback, modification or any other use of Customer information by any entity other than Gсore; or (i) information, data, or other Customer Content provided by or on behalf of Customer to Gсore.

12.2 Gсore will, at its cost, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors, employees, agents and permitted successors and assigns (each a “Customer Indemnitee”) from and against any third-party Claim brought against Customer Indemnitee based upon allegations that Services directly infringe any patent issued as of the Effective Date of this Agreement under the laws of the country in which the Services are being provided to Customer or any third party copyright. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Gсore will have no liability for any infringement of patents, copyrights or other Intellectual Property Rights based upon or resulting from Customer Content, use of Services in a manner not specified in applicable Gсore documentation, or services or products not supplied by Gсore. If Services, or any material portion thereof are determined to infringe and the use enjoined, Gсore will have the option, at its sole cost, to (i) obtain the right for Customer to continue using Services, (ii) modify Services so that they are non-infringing, (iii) substitute functionally similar, non-infringing services or (iv) if none of the foregoing is available to Gсore on commercially reasonable terms, terminate the Agreement and return to Customer any unused Customer prepaid Fees for which Services have not been provided as of the date of termination.

12.3 The Gсore Indemnitee or Customer Indemnitee as applicable (each an “Indemnified Party”) will (a) promptly provide notice to the indemnifying Party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any Claim for which indemnity is claimed (provided, that, any delay in providing notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay); (b) permit Indemnifying Party to control the defense of any such Claim; and (c) provide reasonable assistance at Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost. Subject to the foregoing, in any Claim for which indemnification is sought, Indemnifying Party may select legal counsel to represent Indemnified Party (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Party) and to otherwise control the defense. If Indemnifying Party elects to control the defense, Indemnified Party may fully participate in the defense at its own cost. If Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of Claim, fails to defend Indemnified Party, Indemnified Party may defend and compromise or settle the Claim at Indemnifying Party’s cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnifying Party may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that imposes liability or obligations on Indemnified Party or diminishes Indemnified Party’s rights, without obtaining Indemnified Party’s express prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, other than cessation of infringing activity, confidential treatment of the settlement, and/or payment of money that is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

12.4 This section 12 provides the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer and the exclusive obligations of Gсore in connection with any third party claim, action, suit or other demand asserted against Customer as described in subsection 12.2 above (in respect of Gсore’s obligations to indemnify Customer only) and Gсore disclaims all other warranties and obligations with respect thereto. Gсore’s obligations under this section 12 are subject to the limitations in section 13 below.

13. Liability

13.1 With the sole exception of wilful misconduct or fraud and without prejudice to any limitation of liability contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other contractual documents being part of this Agreement, especially in any relevant Service Order concluded hereunder, Gсore’s total liability to Customer in the aggregate for the entire Term (regardless of whether the claims are brought during or after the term) with respect to all claims arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (including any relevant Service Order hereunder) will at no time exceed fifty percent (50%) of the amount of Fees actually paid by Customer to Gсore under this Agreement and any Service Orders concluded hereunder. As a further limitation, Gсore’s maximum liability for any claims relating to Services offered or provided by Gсore (i) for non-recurring Fees shall not exceed the amount of the Fees for the Services provided on the occasion giving rise to the claim; (ii) for recurring Fees shall not exceed the amount of Fees due for one (1) month for the Services provided on the occasion giving rise to the claim.

13.2 Subject only to the exception of wilful misconduct or fraud, Gсore shall under no circumstances be held liable for any (a) economic loss, loss arising from or in connection with loss of revenues, profits, contracts, goodwill, customers or business or from failure to realize anticipated savings; (b) loss or corruption of any software; (c) loss or corruption of any data; (d) loss of use of hardware or other equipment, of software or data; (e) wasted administrative time or management time; (f) cost of procuring or migrating to substitute services; and (g) any indirect, consequential or special loss.

13.3 Customer’s liability claims shall expire after one year (1) following the damaging incident.

13.4 The limitations of liability set forth in this section 13 apply to all claims and causes of action by Customer with respect to all claims arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement (including any relevant Service Orders thereunder), regardless of whether for breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or for any other reason.

14. Force Majeure

14.1 Force Majeure means any circumstance not within a party’s reasonable control including, without limitation: (a) acts of God, flood, drought, earthquake or other natural disaster; (b) epidemic or pandemic; (c) terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or riots, war, threat of or preparation for war, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, or breaking off of diplomatic relations; (d) nuclear, chemical or biological contamination or sonic boom; (e) any law or any action taken by a government or public authority, including without limitation imposing an export or import restriction, quota or prohibition, or failing to grant a necessary licence or consent; (f) collapse of buildings, fire, explosion or accident; (g) any labour or trade dispute, strikes, industrial action or lockouts; and (h) non-performance by suppliers or subcontractors (other than by Affiliate of Party seeking to rely on this section).

14.2 Provided it has complied with subsection 14.3, if a Party is prevented, hindered or delayed in or from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by an event of Force Majeure (“Affected Party”), the Affected Party shall not be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise liable for any such failure or delay in the performance of such obligations. The time for performance of such obligations shall be extended accordingly.

14.3 The Affected Party shall:

(a) as soon as reasonably practicable after the start of the event of Force Majeure but no later than ten (10) Days from its start, notify the other Party in writing of the Force Majeure, the date on which it started, its likely or potential duration, and the effect of the Force Majeure on its ability to perform any of its obligations under the agreement; and

(b) use all reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure event on the performance of its obligations.

If the Force Majeure prevents, hinders or delays the Affected Party’s performance of its obligations for a continuous period of more than six (6) weeks, the Party not affected by the Force Majeure may terminate this Agreement by giving one (1) weeks’ written notice to the Affected Party.

15. Term and Termination

15.1 This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for the initial period of 12 (twelve) months, unless another initial subscription period is agreed in the Service Order (“Initial Subscription Term”). The Services will renew automatically for periods equal to the Initial Subscription Period (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless, at least thirty (30) Days before expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or, subsequently, the Renewal Term, either Party provides notice of non-renewal. The Initial Subscription Term and all Renewal Terms are collectively, the “Term”. If the Parties enter into a Service Order that expires after the Term, the Term will be deemed to expire on the same date as such Service Order.

15.2 Customer may terminate this Agreement for cause, upon notice to Gсore, if (i) a receiver or administrator is appointed for Gсore or its property; (ii) Gсore makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) Gсore commences, or has commenced against it, proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law which are not dismissed within sixty (60) Days; (iv) Gсore is liquidated or dissolved; (v) Gсore ceases to do business or otherwise terminates its business operations; or (vi) Gсore materially breaches this Agreement and such breach continues unremedied for twenty (20) Days after receipt of notice from Customer. For clarity, a Downtime is not grounds to terminate this Agreement for cause; Customer’s sole remedy for a Downtime is set forth in the SLA.

15.3 Gсore may terminate this Agreement for cause and/or suspend Services upon notice to Customer if (i) a receiver or administrator is appointed for Customer or its property; (ii) Customer makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) Customer commences, or has commenced against it, proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law which are not dismissed within sixty (60) Days; (iv) Customer is liquidated or dissolved; (v) Customer ceases to do business or otherwise terminates its business operations; (vi) Customer fails to pay invoiced Fees within thirty (30) Days from the invoice date; (vii) any use of Services, including Customer Content, actually or allegedly infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise violates the AUP or any applicable law, regulation or order; or (viii) Customer otherwise materially breaches this Agreement and such breach continues unremedied for twenty (20) Days after receipt of notice from Gсore. Gсore may terminate, interrupt or suspend Service without prior notice if necessary to (1) prevent or protect against fraud, (2) protect Gсore’s personnel, facilities, equipment, network or services, (3) prevent violation of section 10 or infringement upon the rights of others or (4) prevent potential material liability.

15.4 Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason, (i) all rights to access or use Services and any other Gсore Intellectual Property Rights will terminate and Gсore will cease providing same, (ii) Customer will pay to Gсore all Fees accrued but unpaid as of the date of expiration or termination, (iii) all liabilities accrued before the date of expiration or termination will survive and (iv) Customer will return or destroy, and certify in writing to Gсore such destruction of, all copies of Gсore Confidential Information.

15.5 If Customer terminates the Agreement or a Service Order without cause, or if Gсore terminates the Agreement for cause pursuant to section 15.3, Customer will be billed and pay to Gсore an amount equal to Customer’s MRCs multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Term (“Early Termination Fee”). If Customer terminates the Agreement for cause pursuant to subsection 15.2, Customer will not be obligated to pay Early Termination Fee.

15.6 In preparing a final invoice to Customer, which Customer will pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Gсore will (i) calculate the balance due, (ii) deduct from such balance the unused portion, if any, of any prepaid Fees or Customer deposit and (c) bill Customer for the remaining balance due. If there remains an unused portion of any prepaid Fees or Customer deposit after satisfaction of the balance due, Gсore will refund to Customer such unused portion.

16. Suspension of Services

16.1 Gсore may, upon giving notice to Customer, without prejudice to any of Gсore’s rights to terminate this Agreement or any Service Order hereunder, suspend provision of all or any of Services in the event that

(a) suspension of Services is required in order to comply with the directive of an authority and/or court;

(b) Gсore has grounds for suspecting that Customer is committing any illegal or unlawful act in connection with the use of Services;

(c) if Customer is in default with its payment obligations under any Service Order for more than thirty (30) Days, and/or

(d) any other provision within this Agreement or Service Order allows Gсore to suspend provision of all or any of Services.

16.2 If any Services are suspended as a consequence of Customer’s act or omission, (i) Customer shall remain liable to pay the respective Fees as if Services had been properly provided by Gсore, and (ii) Customer shall reimburse Gсore for any additional charges and expenses incurred due to the suspension and/or recommencement of Services.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1 During the Term, Gсore may publicize the existence of the relationship between the Parties for the purpose of its marketing activities. Subject to the foregoing, neither Party shall make any press announcements concerning the Agreement or publicize the Agreement in any way without the prior written consent of the other Party.

17.2 All notices, requests, approvals, consents and other communications required or permitted herein will be in writing and in English. Either Party may change its contact information upon notice to the other Party. For clarity, if a notice is not received because the receiving Party has failed to notify the other Party per the preceding sentence or because receipt is refused, such notice nonetheless will be deemed to have been conclusively made seven (7) Days after delivery was reasonably initiated.

17.3 If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or contrary to law, such holding will not render the Agreement unenforceable or contrary to law as a whole, and, in such event, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such provisions within the limits of applicable law.

17.4 Neither Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s express prior consent except that Gсore may freely assign any and all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (a) to a parent or Affiliate or (b) in connection with a Change of Control. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all permitted successors and assigns. Unless expressly permitted in writing by Gсore, Customer may not assign, transfer, distribute, resell, lease or otherwise provide access to the Gсore Services to any third party.

17.5 Each Party acknowledges that the Services, Confidential Information, hardware, software, technology, devices or other materials or information obtained from or provided to the other Party under this Agreement may be protected under, and subject to, import and export control laws of the European Union, its member states, or the United States, as well as those of equivalent in other jurisdictions; accordingly, their use, import, export and reexport, may be restricted, prohibited or necessitate securing licenses. Each Party agrees not to directly or indirectly export, re-export or cause to be exported or re-exported, any such Services, Confidential Information, hardware, software, technology, device or other such materials or information to any destination or entity prohibited or restricted under the laws of the European Union, its member states, or of the United States, or other respective jurisdictions, unless it will have first obtained express prior consent of the applicable agency or governmental body. Should Gсore reasonably determine that it cannot perform its obligations under this Agreement due to sanctions-related prohibitions, Gсore may terminate this Agreement effective immediately. Customer agrees to permit Gсore to use information including, but not limited to, business name, place of incorporation, beneficial owners, and/or directors for the purposes of sanctions screening. For avoidance of doubt, ability or act to screen does not remove any obligation and/or liability within this Agreement. Gсore may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect, if Customer breaches subsection 17.5 or, if continued performance by Gсore of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement would breach or risk exposure to adverse consequences under sanctions or export controls. If Gсore terminates this Agreement pursuant to this clause, it shall not be obliged to make any payments, indemnify, or otherwise have any obligations or liabilities to Customer subsequent to the termination of this Agreement.

17.6 This Agreement, the Services Specifications, the SLA, the AUP, all Service Orders and other documents between the Parties incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings or agreements; and there are no other representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to such subject matter.

17.7 From time to time this Agreement, including all Services Specifications, the SLA and the AUP can be modified by Gсore. Such modifications will not apply retroactively. The Customer will be notified by Gсore by email or a written notice in the Customer’s account in the Gсore system.


17.8 If there is an irreconcilable conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any other documents referenced herein, the conflict will be resolved in the following order of precedence: (a) this Agreement; (b) Services Specification; (c) SLA; (d) AUP; and (e) other documents. If a provision of this Service Order conflicts with the aforementioned documents, those documents will take precedence, unless the conflicting provision in the Service Order explicitly amends Agreement, the Services Specification, the SLA or the AUP respectively.

17.9 This Agreement and any Service Order hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, without regard to International Private Law. All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of arbitration of the Arbitration Center of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce by three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules. Each Party waives any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction, forum non conveniens or otherwise) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over it by any such courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and any Service Order hereunder.
