Bandwidth Measurement and Overage Fees - Internet Data Transfer

Storm On Demand provides two ways to purchase bandwidth packages for Internet Data Transfer i) Bundled Bandwidth Packages - or - ii) Pay As You Go.

When purchasing a Bundled Bandwidth Package your outgoing bandwidth transfer will be used to calculate your bandwidth usage. Incoming data transfer will not be counted towards your bundled bandwidth usage. If your actual data transfer usage exceeds the amount of your bandwidth package you will be charged a bandwidth overage fee in addition to your Bundled Bandwidth Charge. The bandwidth overage fee will be specified in your order. Currently the bandwidth overage fee is the same as the stated Pay As You Go outgoing bandwidth charge. ($0.05 per Gig)

When purchasing a Pay As You Go bandwidth package, incoming and outgoing data transfer is charged separately at different rates specified when you purchased the bandwidth package. Incoming data transfer is currently free. When using a Pay As You Go bandwidth plan you will only be charged for your actual bandwidth usage.

Storm On Demands Private Networking

Storm On Demands private networking allows servers to communicate with each other over an internal, isolated private network. The bandwidth used on the private network is free and does not count against your regular bandwidth usage.

Server Support

Basic support and maintenance of dedicated servers is provided at the discretion of Liquid Web, Inc. In the case of erroneous instances or support issues extending beyond what we determine to be within the realm of reasonable assistance, support is priced as follows:

• $50/hour

Scheduled Maintenance and Downtime

Liquid Web will use its commercially reasonably efforts to provide services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Subscriber acknowledges that from time to time the services may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including periodic maintenance procedures or upgrades ("Scheduled Downtime"); or service malfunctions, and causes beyond Liquid Web's control or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Liquid Web, including the interruption or failure of telecommunications or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, or network congestion or other failures. Liquid Web will provide at least 48 hours advance notice to the subscriber for Scheduled Downtimes, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any other disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of its web servers. Liquid Web has no responsibility for downtime resulting from a user's actions.

Fees

Storm will charge you the fees stated in your Order. When launching a Storm Server your credit card will be charged for a minimum commitment which will be either the pro-rated monthly charge for the base price of the Storm Server you have selected or the full monthly charge at the time service is provided to you. This minimum commitment will be stored as a Credit in your account and your actual hourly usage of the Storm Server and all related services will be deducted from this credit. Storm Servers are charged in hourly billing increments based on actual usage. If a Storm Server is destroyed, you will only be charged for your actual usage and the remainder of your minimum commitment will remain as a credit in your account.

Unless you have made other arrangements, Storm will charge your credit card without invoice as follows: (i) for recurring fees, in advance, on or around the first day of each billing cycle, and (ii) for non-recurring fees (such as fees for initial set-up, overages, compute cycle fees, and domain name registration) on or around the date incurred, or on or around the first day of the billing cycle that follows the date incurred, at Storm's option; provided that Storm may wait to charge your credit card until the total aggregate fees due are at least $50. Unless otherwise agreed in the Order, your billing cycle will be pre-paid monthly, beginning on the date that Storm first makes the Services available to you.

In some cases Storm will present an "Estimated Monthly Charge". The "Estimated Monthly Charge" is provided as a courtesy to you to help budget your monthly expenses. However, the Estimated Monthly Charge is a rough estimation of your charges based on your current usage and will not be your guaranteed monthly charge. Many items can change your monthly charge, including, but not limited to, backups, firewalls, bandwidth usage, support, domain names, private networking and any other optional Storm service which you choose to enable.

Storm may suspend all services (including services provided pursuant to any unrelated Order or other agreement we may have with you) if our charges to your credit card are rejected for any reason. Storm may charge interest on overdue amounts at 1.5% per month (or the maximum legal rate if it is less than 1.5%). If any amount is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, and Storm brings a legal action to collect, or engages a collection agency, you must also pay Storm's reasonable costs of collection, including attorney fees and court costs. All fees are stated and will be charged in US Dollars. Any "credit" that we may owe you, such as a credit for failure to meet a service level guaranty, will be applied to fees due from you for services, and will not be paid to you as a refund. Charges that are not disputed within sixty (60) days of the date charged are conclusively deemed accurate. You must provide Storm with accurate factual information to help Storm determine if any tax is due with respect to the provision of the Services, and if Storm is required by law to collect taxes on the provision of the Services, you must pay Storm the amount of the tax that is due or provide satisfactory evidence of your exemption from the tax. You authorize Storm to obtain a credit report at any time during the term of the Agreement. Any credit that we may owe you, such as a credit for a SLA remedy, will be applied to unpaid fees for services or refunded to you, at our option.

Cancellation & Refunds

Storm On Demand accounts stay active with or without live Storm Servers and your account may continue to be charged for the storage of Storm Server Images or any related services until the Storm On Demand account is terminated. To Terminate your Storm On Demand account, submit a cancellation request in writing to support@liquidweb.com. After our support team verifies you are authorized to cancel the account, your entire Storm On Demand account will be cancelled and any remaining credit balance on your account will be immediately refunded to your credit card.

Account Setup, Termination, and Billing

Check Orders: Storm On Demand does not accept check or money order payments. Only valid credit cards are accepted for Storm On Demand payments.

Disabling of accounts due to overdue payment: Accounts will be disabled if payment is not received within 14 days of the invoice date. If your account has been disabled, you may be charged a reconnection fee of up to $50 in order to re-enable your account.

Termination of accounts due to overdue payment: If the account is not paid within 30 days of the invoice date, the account will be terminated and all information within the account will be deleted.

This includes, but is not limited to, billing information in the form of a partial credit card number or other payment information, or the billing password. Non-secure information, such as the contact email address or account billing address, is not sufficient as a security verification. The month-to-month agreement for services is automatically renewed each month in perpetuity subject to written cancellation via help desk ticket (https://www.stormondemand.com/manage) or email sent to support@liquidweb.com (email subject to valid proof of account ownership).
