This Agreement states the terms and conditions by which Techno Brain will deliver and Customer will receive Services. The specific services and/or products to be provided hereunder will be identified in one or more Order Form(s) and described in the Service Description(s) and Statement(s) of Work (if any). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and final acceptance by Techno Brain, each Order Form (with the attached Service Description and Statement of Work) will constitute a separate contract between the parties. The terms of this Agreement shall apply to the sale of Services to Customer for its internal use to its customers and, except as otherwise agreed, to all other services provided by Techno Brain to Customer.  

1. Term/Renewal  

The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date this Agreement is signed by the Customer and accepted by Techno Brain (the "Effective Date") and shall continue in effect for as long as any Service remains in effect unless otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Initial Term for each Service is stated on the applicable Order Form. The Initial Term begins on the Service Commencement Date ("SCD") defined in the Service Description of such Service. Each Service will continue automatically for additional Renewal Terms of twelve months unless a different Renewal Term is specified, or a written notice of cancellation is given by either party at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current term. The Agreement term at any time in effect, including without limitation, the Initial Term, and/or a Renewal Term are referred to herein as the "Term”.  

2. Payment and Invoicing  

A. Customer will pay Techno Brain all fees during the Initial Term and for each Renewal Term according to the prices and  

terms listed on the applicable Order Form(s). Non Recurring charges including equipment, installation and setup fees will be billed upon execution of the Order Form. Recurring charges will be billed in advance unless agreed otherwise.

E. In the event Customer fails to pay Techno Brain all undisputed Fees owed Techno Brain under this Agreement when due, Techno Brain  agrees that it shall notify the Customer in writing of any unpaid and undisputed Fees and the Customer shall have five (5) working days to remedy any non-payment. In the event that the Customer still has not paid any undisputed Recurring Fees, Techno Brain may upon five (5) working days' written notice to Customer suspend and/or terminate the affected Service under Section 3. Such interruption or termination will not relieve the Customer of the obligation to  

pay the amount owed plus interest and early cancellation fees in accordance with Section 3A below.  

F. Techno Brain shall be entitled to increase the Recurring Fees upon thirty (30) days' written notice at any time where Techno Brain  can reasonably demonstrate that such an increase is due to an increased cost of providing the Service solely caused  

by  

1. A third party supplier price increase and/or  

2. Legal or regulatory change.  

For the avoidance of doubt, any such increase will not exceed the increased cost incurred by Techno Brain in providing the Service. Techno Brain will provide reasonable documentary evidence to support such price increase to the  

Customer, upon request.  

G. With effect from the expiry of the Initial Term, Techno Brain shall be entitled to revise the Annual Charge to reflect Techno Brain’  

then current standard rates, by giving the Customer not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice.  

 

3. Termination and Suspension  

A. Cancellation during Initial Term: Customer may cancel any or all of the Service(s), or any component of a Service by  

providing sixty (60) days prior written notice. In such case, Customer shall pay to Techno Brain all charges for the applicable Service provided through the effective date of such cancellation plus a lump sum cancellation charge of 100% of the scheduled payments for the Service for each of the months remaining in the Initial Term. The aforementioned provision for a cancellation charge is intended to establish liquidated damages in the event of a cancellation and is  

not intended as a penalty.  

B. Techno Brain reserves the right to suspend Services to Customer upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i)  

Customer fails to pay undisputed Fees due in accordance with the notice procedure set out in section 2 of this agreement; or (ii) Customer violates the terms of Techno Brain’s AUP as stated in Article 5. Techno Brain may suspend Services if any AUP violation harmful to the Techno Brain network or its customers occurs and continues uncured for more than 4 working hours after written notice thereof from Techno Brain. Such suspension will not relieve the Customer of the obligation to pay Recurring Fees during the period of suspended service. In the event of suspension due to AUP violation, service will be reinstated immediately upon remedy by the Customer of the violation. For the avoidance of doubt, the  

intention of this clause is solely to protect quality of service for all customers.  

C. Upon termination of this Agreement or any applicable Order, Customer shall relinquish any IP addresses or address  

blocks assigned to Customer by Techno Brain.

Techno Brain will restrict the speed of Internet connection to the agreed bitrate. Customer has unlimited use of the Internet connection at that speed, with no charges for data transferred. 

 

95th Percentile bitrate (Mb/s). Approximately every five minutes, Techno Brain will capture the number of bits passed through Customer access port in either direction and store the average bandwidth utilization (in bits/sec) since the last capture. That bitrate, measured as the sum of traffic IN and traffic OUT of the port, becomes a single sample. These samples are stored for a period of one month. At the end of the month, all of the data samples (around 8000) are put in order from highest to lowest and the top 5% are discarded. The highest remaining data sample will then be referred to as the "95th Percentile" rate used for billing purposes. Connection Monitoring. Certain problems can be proactively detected by Techno Brain, while others are detected by the customer experiencing the problem. Whenever monitoring indicates a problem with the connection, Techno Brain will notify the Customer's Technical Contacts and begin problem determination and resolution.
