PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH
THEM, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE SimpleOFAC HOSTING SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SimpleOFAC
HOSTING SERVICE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
This End-User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal contract between you -
"you" means either (a) an individual user or (b) a business organization ("You")
and SimpleOFAC Technologies("Licensor"). If you are a
business organization, use of the Service under this Agreement does not extend
automatically to any subsidiary or affiliate of yours unless Licensor has agreed
to that in writing. Subsidiaries/affiliates must obtain their own licenses for
the Service separately.
A. SERVICE DESCRIPTION:
Service License. Licensor hereby grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable
license to use the SimpleOFAC Hosting Service and related documentation
(the "Service") for your own internal purposes. You are acquiring a yearly (12 months)
License for the service, which may be renewed for 12 months at a time at your option.
Licensor retains all right, title, and interest in the Service.
B. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE:
Included with each of the SimpleOFAC Hosting Service licenses is 12 months of
remote (email or online support system) technical support if the service does
not operate according to the user documentation. Upgrades of the software
running the Service are performed by the Licensor as new versions of the
Software are released.
C. SERVICE LEVEL
1. SimpleOFAC Technologies agrees to maintain hosting services
availability of 99.95% of the total time per calendar year. In the event these
availability metrics are not met (other than down time due to the causes
listed), SimpleOFAC Technologies agrees to credit customers as set forth below.
2. Exclusions: This agreement to provide services and network up time does not include
down time caused by the following causes:
- Scheduled maintenance or upgrades, where adequate notice (at least 3 business days)
of such has been provided
- Any Customer circuits or equipment
- DNS or other Network issues outside the direct control of SimpleOFAC Technologies
- Outages elsewhere on the Internet that hinder access to your account
- Customer's applications (including, but not limited to Operating Systems, browsers)
- Acts or omissions of Customer
- Reasons of Force Majeure (including strike, fire, flood, delay in component supply,
equipment failure, governmental acts, orders or restrictions, or any other
reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control and not
caused by the negligence of the non-performing party).
3. Credit Remedies: In the event the above service levels are not met due to
non-excluded causes, SimpleOFAC Technologies agrees to provide the following credits to a
Customer that reports the incident to SimpleOFAC Technologies within five (5) calendar days
of the date of the incident:
- Per incident of web server service downtime of fifteen (15) minutes or more
which exceed the downtime allowed by the above agreed upon up time, a
reporting Customer's account shall be credited an amount equal to two days
of such Customer's yearly SimpleOFAC Technologies charge.
- For the purpose of this Agreement an "incident" is a period of interruption
in the relevant service. An incident is deemed to begin at the time that
the service initially went down and to end at such time that the service
has been returned to stable, operational status. A brief return to
operational status as part of the repair process would not end an incident -
the incident is deemed to end only upon the successful return of the service
to stable, operational status.
4. Documentation: Customer must provide technical documentation of the outage,
such as trace route reports so we can view the routes taken to our network.
5. Backups: All data and uploaded files are backed up at least once every 24-hour
period. Backups are performed incrementally and all historical data can be retrieved
for at least up to 6 months. With the loss of backed up historical data, SimpleOFAC Technologies
agrees to credit the customer for twice the number of days lost, with an upper limit
set to half the total service cost over the last 6 months.
D. GENERAL TERMS:

and proposals and it is intended to be the complete agreement between us
concerning your license for the Service. It may be modified only in
writing by both parties. You may not assign or transfer this license.

any other breach. All fees are in US Dollars and are non-refundable.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, it will
be enforced to the extent permissible and the remainder of this
