Cloud Services Agreement

IMPORTANT: THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION PROVISION, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. DEPENDING ON THE JURISDICTION, THAT SECTION MAY NOT APPLY.

This Cloud Services Agreement ("CSA") is an agreement entered into by Cloud Vantage ("Company") and the entity or person agreeing to these terms as set forth in the applicable order form ("Customer"), which order form is incorporated herein by this reference (together with any subsequent order forms submitted by Customer, collectively, the "Order"), and governs the leasing of the hardware, licenses, software and purchases the support services and other related products and cloud services (as applicable) ordered by Customer as set forth in the Order (collectively, the "Cloud Services").

Company and Customer may be individually referred to herein as a "Party" and together the "Parties."

This CSA is subject to the Order, Company's Universal Terms of Use ("UToU"), Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy"), and Data Processing Addendum ("DPA"), all of which incorporated herein by reference. The UToU, AUP, Privacy Policy and Order shall collectively be referred to as the "Agreements." In the event of a conflict between the documents that make up the Agreements, the documents will control in the following order (of decreasing precedence): the Data Processing Addendum, the Privacy Policy, AUP, this CSA and the remainder of the Agreements (excluding the foregoing).

The person listed on the signature page of the Order ("Signatory") enters this CSA on behalf of Customer, and represents and warrants that the Signatory:

1. Has full legal authority to bind Customer to the Agreements.
2. Has read and understands the Agreements.
3. Agrees, on behalf of Customer, to the Agreements.

This CSA is effective on the date Company signs the Order (the "Effective Date"). The Order shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for the time period listed in the Order, unless earlier terminated as provided herein (the "Term").

To the extent permitted by applicable law, either Party may terminate the CSA immediately on written notice if:

1. The other party is in material breach of the Agreements and fails to cure that breach within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice of the breach; or
2. The other party ceases its business operations or becomes subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within ninety (90) days.

If Customer enters into an Order, Company may provide Customer with a trial for the time period set forth in the applicable Order beginning on the Effective Date ("Trial Period"). Company will make the Cloud Services available to Customer on a trial basis until the end of the Trial Period. Within three (3) days of the end of the Trial Period, Customer shall notify Company of its desire to continue with or cancel the applicable Order. In the event Customer desires to cancel the applicable Order at the end of the Trial Period, Customer shall be responsible for the fees related to the Trial Period as specified in the applicable Order and the applicable Order shall be canceled. The Trial Period is limited to one Trial Period per account. Company, as determined in its sole discretion, reserves the right to revoke, restrict and/or terminate access to the Cloud Services during the Trial Period.

Company may terminate the CSA immediately on written notice if Company reasonably believes that:

1. Continued provision or portion of any Cloud Service used by Customer would violate applicable law(s); or
2. Customer has violated or caused Company to violate any applicable commercial and public anti-bribery laws.

If any of the Agreements are terminated, then:

1. All rights and access to the Cloud Services will terminate (including access to Customer Content, if applicable), unless otherwise described in this CSA; and
2. All amounts owed by Customer to Company are immediately due upon Customer's receipt of the final electronic bill or as stated in the final invoice.

During the Term (as defined herein), Company will provide the Cloud Services in accordance with the Order and Agreements, including the Service Level Agreement ("SLA"), and Customer may use the Cloud Services, and integrate and use the Cloud Services in accordance with the Agreements.

Customer must have a Customer account to use the Cloud Services ("Account") and is responsible for the information it provides to create the Account, the security of its passwords for the Account, and for any use of its Account. Company has no obligation to provide multiple accounts to Customer. Within the Account, Customer will have access to an Admin Console or similar application, through which Customer may manage use of the Cloud Services.

Company may make commercially reasonable updates to the Cloud Services from time to time. Company will inform Customer if Company makes a material change to the Cloud Services that has a material impact on Customer's use of the Cloud Services provided that Customer has subscribed with Company to be informed about such change.

Company may make changes to the Agreements and pricing from time to time. Unless otherwise noted by Company, material changes to the Agreements will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted, except to the extent the changes apply to new functionality or the DPA, or are required by applicable law, in which case they will be effective immediately. Company will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice for materially adverse changes to any SLAs by:

1. Sending an email to the email address located in the Account; or
2. Posting a notice to the applicable SLAs webpage.

If Customer does not agree to the revised Agreements, Customer may stop using the Cloud Services. Customer's continued use of the Cloud Services after such material change will constitute Customer's consent to such changes. Company will post any modification to the Agreements.

Company may only change the DPA:

1. Where such change is required to comply with applicable law, is expressly permitted by the Data Processing Addendum; is commercially reasonable.
2. Does not result in a material reduction of the security of the Cloud Services.
3. Does not expand the scope of or remove any restrictions on Company's processing of Personal Data, as described in the DPA; or

If Company makes a material change to the DPA in accordance with this Section, Company will post the change at the webpage containing the Data Processing Addendum.

Company will notify Customer at least three (3) months before discontinuing any portion of the Cloud Service (or associated material functionality) unless Company replaces such discontinued portion or functionality with a materially similar portion or functionality. Nothing in this Section limits Company's ability to make changes required to comply with applicable law, address a material security or data privacy risk, or avoid a substantial economic or material technical burden. This Section does not apply to pre-general availability of the Cloud Services, offerings, or functionality.

The Order is subject to the payment terms stated therein. Customer agrees to pay the fees specified in the applicable Order. Fees are billed as provided in an Order.

Subject to any legal requirements, fees due under this CSA may include any local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies or duties of any nature, including, value-added, sales use or withholding taxes (collectively, "Taxes").

"Confidential Information" means the following that one party to this CSA ("Discloser") discloses to the other ("Recipient"):

1. Any document Discloser marks as "Confidential."
2. Any information Discloser orally designates as "Confidential" at the time of disclosure, provided Discloser confirms such designation in writing within three business days.
3. The non-public features and functions of the Cloud Services, for which Company is Discloser; and
4. Any other non public, sensitive information Recipient should reasonably consider a trade secret or otherwise confidential.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information that:

1. Is in Recipient's possession at the time of disclosure (which has not previously been designated as Confidential Information).
2. Is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to Confidential Information.
3. Becomes known publicly, before or after disclosure, other than as a result of Recipient's improper action or inaction; or
4. Is approved for release in writing by Discloser.

2. Disclose Confidential Information to any other third party without Discloser's prior written consent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Recipient shall protect Confidential Information with the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature and importance, but with no less than reasonable care. Recipient shall promptly notify Discloser of any misuse or misappropriation of Confidential Information that comes to Recipient's attention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information as required by applicable law or by proper legal or governmental authority. Recipient shall give Discloser prompt notice of any such legal or governmental demand and reasonably cooperate with Discloser in any effort to seek a protective order or otherwise to contest such required disclosure, at Discloser's expense.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this CSA, the Recipient or its affiliates may also disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable request made under law, governmental regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, or other valid legal authority, legal procedure, or similar process; provided that the Recipient or its affiliate uses commercially reasonable efforts to:

1. Promptly notify the other party before any such disclosure of its Confidential Information; and

Recipient agrees that breach of this Section would cause Discloser irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedy, Discloser will be entitled to injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.

With respect to each item of Confidential Information, the obligations of Section 15.3 above (Nondisclosure) will terminate three (3) years after the date of termination of this CSA; provided that such obligations related to Confidential Information constituting Discloser's trade secrets shall continue so long as such information remains subject to trade secret protection pursuant to applicable law. Upon request of Discloser or termination of this CSA, Recipient shall return all copies of Confidential Information to Discloser or certify, in writing, the destruction thereof.

This CSA does not transfer ownership of Confidential Information or grant a license thereto. Discloser will retain all right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information.

HOWEVER, COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL BE PERFORMED ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT COMPANY WILL CORRECT ALL CLOUD SERVICE ERRORS, OR THAT THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS.

1. Repair the Cloud Services.
2. Replace the Cloud Services with hardware software of substantially similar functionality; or
3. If such attempts do not succeed after sixty (60) days, this CSA shall be declared null and void.

To the extent applicable under law, Company represents and warrants that it is the owner of the Cloud Services and of each and every component thereof, or the recipient of a valid license thereto (except for any publicly accessible (i.e., open source) aspects of the Cloud Services), that it has and will maintain the full power and authority to grant the intellectual property rights to the Cloud Services set forth in this CSA, without the further consent of any third party, and that the Cloud Services do not infringe on the rights of any third party. In the event the of breach of the warranty in this Subsection (to the extent possible or practical), Company shall, at its own expense, replace or modify the Cloud Services to make it non-infringing, provided such modification or replacement does not materially degrade any functionality set forth in the Documentation and Specifications; provided if the foregoing is not possible or practical, Company may terminate this CSA. In conjunction with the preceding Subsection (From Company), the preceding sentence states Company's sole obligation and liability, and Customer's sole remedy, for potential or actual intellectual property infringement by the Cloud Services.

Each Party represents and warrants to one another that each has the full right and authority to enter into, execute, and perform its obligations under this CSA and that no pending or threatened claim or litigation known to it would have a material adverse impact on its ability to perform as required by this CSA.

Except for the express warranties above, COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE, TITLE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED USE OF THE CLOUD SERVICES AND ANY REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT CONTENT OR INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE THROUGH THE CLOUD SERVICES.

1. Customer's breach of this CSA.
2. Revisions to the Cloud Services made without Company's written consent.
3. Customer's failure to incorporate Upgrades that would have avoided the alleged infringement, provided Company offered such Upgrades without charges not otherwise required pursuant to this CSA.

1. By any sub-customer or End-User, as well as any such entity's employee, contractor; or
2. Company's material breach of this CSA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such claim, suit, or proceeding shall be considered an Indemnified Claim pursuant to this Section to the extent that it arises out of, relates to, or alleges: intellectual property infringement by the Cloud Services; or an injury caused by the Cloud Services's failure to conform to its Documentation or Specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnified Claims do not include claims related to injuries to the extent caused by the Subscription's failure to perform as represented by Company but not by the Documentation or Specifications.

The obligations of the indemnifying party ("Indemnitor") pursuant to the sections above:

1. Include retention and payment of attorney's and expert fees and payment of court costs, as well as settlement at Indemnitor's expense and payment of judgments; and
2. Will be excused to the extent that the other contracting party's ("Indemnified Party's") or any of such Indemnified Party's Associates' failure to provide prompt notice of the Indemnified Claim or reasonably to cooperate materially prejudices the defense.

Indemnitor will control the defense of any Indemnified Claim, including appeals, negotiations, and any settlement or compromise thereof; provided Indemnified Party will have the right, not to be exercised unreasonably, to reject any settlement or compromise that requires that it admit wrongdoing or liability or subjects it to any ongoing affirmative obligations. As used in this Section, a Party's "Associates" are its officers, directors, managers, shareholders, members, parents, subsidiaries, agents, successors, and assigns. Customer's "Associates" also include sub-customers and end-customers, provided each such sub-customer or end-customer was rightfully licensed pursuant to this CSA.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 15 (Confidential Information) and Section 18.3 (Clarifications and Disclaimers), IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR KIND (INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE, OR OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE CLOUD SERVICES (INCLUDING SOFTWARE PRODUCT OR SUPPORT SERVICES), INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE CLOUD SERVICES OR SUPPORT SERVICES, OR FOR ANY CONTENT OR DATA OBTAINED FROM OR THROUGH THE CLOUD SERVICES OR SUPPORT SERVICES, ANY INTERRUPTION, INACCURACY, ERROR, OR OMISSION, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE IN THE CONTENT, EVEN IF THE PARTY FROM WHICH DAMAGES ARE BEING SOUGHT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FURTHEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY'S CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS CSA WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO COMPANY BY CUSTOMER WITHIN THE PRECEDING SIX (6) MONTHS THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM, EXCEPT COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO CLOUD SERVICES IS LIMITED TO $1,000 USD.

1. Fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
2. Obligations under Section 17 (Indemnification).
3. Its infringement of the other Party's intellectual property rights.
4. Its payment obligations under the CSA; or
5. Matters for which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

If applicable law(s) limits the application of the provisions of this Section the Parties' liability will be limited to the maximum extent permissible by law. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party's liability limits, and other rights set forth in this Section apply likewise to its Associates, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, advertisers, agents, sponsors, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and other representatives.

This CSA and any dispute that may arise between Customer and Company shall be resolved by binding arbitration and governed by and construed in accordance with Nigerian Arbitration law, as may be amended.

Before either Party may seek arbitration as provided below, the complaining party must first send to the other party a written notice of dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. After the Notice is received, the Parties may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If the Parties do not resolve the claim or dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, either Party may begin an arbitration proceeding as provided below.

Customer agrees to resolve the dispute in a cost-effective manner through binding arbitration (including non-appearance-based arbitration). In such event, Customer hereby agrees the arbitration procedure shall be initiated through the applicable rules under the Nigerian Arbitration law.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WHICH MAY BE MADE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS CSA MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENTS, CUSTOMER WAIVES PARTICIPATING IN A CLASS ACTION.

If Company becomes aware that Customer's or any End-User's use of the Cloud Services violates the AUP, Company will notify Customer and request that Customer correct the violation. If Customer fails to correct the violation within 24 hours of Company's request, then Company may disable or limit access to or use of the Cloud Services or components of the Cloud Services until the violation is corrected.

Notwithstanding AUP Violations above, Company may immediately suspend all or part of Customer's use of the Cloud Services if:

1. Company reasonably believes Customer's or any End-User's use of the Cloud Services could adversely impact the Cloud Services, other Company customers' or its end-users use of the Cloud Services or the Company network or servers used to provide the Cloud Services.
2. There is suspected unauthorized third-party access to the Cloud Services; or
3. Company reasonably believes that immediate suspension is required to comply with any applicable law.

Company will lift any such suspension when the circumstances giving rise to the suspension have been resolved.

Specific paid Cloud Services may also be suspended if Customer fails to make payment within a specified period. Such periods will be communicated to Customers at the commencement of the use of prospective cloud services or at any time during the period when the services are used by Customers.
