SECTION 4.  TERM; TERMINATION/SUSPENSION RIGHTS; EFFECT

4.1      Order Term. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section, the initial term of Client’s subscription of Cloud Services shall commence on the later of (i) the Effective Date, or (ii) the date the Cloud Services are made available to Client by the Service Provider as notified by the Service Provider to Insight, (“Initial Term”, which is coterminous with the Initial Subscription Period identified on the Order).  Upon expiration of the Initial Term, Client’s subscription of Cloud Services will automatically renew for additional, successive terms (each a “Renewal Term”) unless Client or Insight provides notice of non-renewal in accordance with Section 5.7(b) (Notices – Routine).  Notice of non-renewal for a monthly Subscription Period must be given at least 30 days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Period.  Notice of non-renewal for a Subscription Period of greater than 1 month must be given at least 45 days prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Period.

4.2      Termination Rights

(a)   For Cause.

1.         Insight.  Insight may terminate the Order, in whole or in part, with immediate effect, if Client materially breaches these Cloud Terms of Sale and fails to remedy that breach within 30 days of receipt of Insight’s written notice of such breach.  A material breach, includes but is not limited to: (i) Client’s failure to pay Fees when due, (ii) rejection, for any reason, of any charges for Fees using a credit card provided by Client, or (iii) Client’s breach of Section 5.1 (Compliance With Laws).  In addition, If Service Provider terminates any part or all of the Cloud Services in connection with any “Use Issues” as defined in this paragraph, Client shall be deemed to have been in material breach of the Order.  “Use Issues” means Client’s misuse of Cloud Services in violation of the Order, the Service Provider Terms or Other Related Terms, or due to any other act or omission of Client.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, if Service Provider terminates any part or all of the Cloud Services in connection with any Use Issues, Insight may terminate the Order, in whole or in part, upon written notice with immediate effect unless indicated otherwise in such notice.

2.         Client.  Client may terminate the Order if Insight materially breaches these Cloud Terms of Sale and fails to remedy that breach within 30 days after receipt of Client’s written notice of such breach.  Insight shall not deemed in default if Service Provider withholds provision of Cloud Services or suspends or terminates Client’s access to, or use of, Cloud Services, or any part thereof, as allowed under this Section 4.2.  Any such action by Service Provider does not give Client the right to terminate the Order.

(b)   For Convenience.  Once Cloud Services are provisioned (made available for use by Client), an Order may not be terminated or suspended by Client for convenience.  The Order will automatically terminate with immediate effect, without any liability for such termination, upon written notice to Client if Service Provider terminates its agreement with Insight to resell Cloud Services.  In addition, if the Order is entered into by Insight and Client before Service Provider agrees to provide the applicable Cloud Services to Client, and if Service Provider then refuses to provision such Cloud Services for any reason, Insight may immediately terminate the Order, without any liability for such termination, upon written notice to Client.

4.3      Service Provider Suspension/Termination Rights.  The provision of the Cloud Services may be withheld or the Cloud Services may be suspended or terminated, in whole or in part, by Service Provider, (a) should Client use the Cloud Services in violation of the Service Provider Terms, or any Other Cloud Service-Related Terms, if applicable; or (b) under circumstances described in the Service Provider Terms. Any such action by Service Provider does not give Client the right to terminate the Order.  Fees will continue to accrue for the duration of any withholding or suspension of the Cloud Services, or any part thereof based upon the Subscription Period. Client shall be responsible to pay for such Fees in accordance with the Order.  If Service Provider charges Insight for any remedial work that becomes necessary as a direct result of any Use Issues, Insight shall charge Client and Client will pay Insight such charges within 30 days of Insight’s invoice date.  In addition, if any Cloud Services disconnection or suspension pursuant to this subsection results in the requirement of a reasonable reinstatement fee or if Service Provider suspends any Cloud Services due to Client’s acts or omissions and requires an increase in the fees payable by Insight to Service Providers as a prerequisite for Service Provider to resume making the Cloud Services available for Client, Client agrees to pay such additional fees as invoiced by Insight.

            Client may have certain rights to terminate Cloud Services but only as expressly provided under the Service Provider Terms; provided, however, that Client must first be in compliance with all applicable termination-related processes and other requirements set forth in the Service Provider Terms.  Client must provide Insight prior written notice of Client’s election to exercise such termination rights, and any such election shall be exercised in accordance with the applicable Service Provider Terms and subject to Service Provider’s approval.

4.4      Effect of Termination.  Termination or expiration of the Order shall not relieve either party of its rights or obligations incurred prior to termination or expiration that by their nature or term survive, including any and all payment due under the Order. 

(a)   Payment upon Breach.  If all or part of the Order is terminated by Insight for cause, Client shall pay Insight the Fees that would be due for the remainder of the unexpired Subscription Period and any Fees for Cloud Services performed prior to termination.  All such fees shall become immediately due and payable upon any such termination.

(b)   Provision of Cloud Services after Client’s Termination.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if despite Client’s election of termination, or any notice to terminate Cloud Services or any part thereof, Client: (i) requests the continued delivery of the Cloud Services (or part thereof) after the intended termination effective date indicated in Client’s written notice, or (ii) otherwise continues to have access to and use such Cloud Services after the intended termination date, then, even if such request or access and use is temporary, to the extent Service Provider invoices Insight for the provision of such Cloud Services to Client, Client shall pay Insight the Fees.  These Cloud Terms of Sale and the Service Provider Terms will survive and govern Client’s purchase and use of Cloud Services, respectively, until the Cloud Services are terminated by Service Provider.

SECTION 5.  ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

5.1      Compliance with Laws.  Client shall comply with, and agrees that it is its responsibility to adhere to, all applicable law in connection with Client’s use of the Cloud Services.  Cloud Services may also be subject to export regulations.  Client acknowledges this possibility and accepts full responsibility for and agrees to comply fully with applicable law and all export regulations, including obtaining export licenses.  Client represents and warrants that no technical data will be exported under the Order except in compliance with all requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR).  Client shall be solely responsible for any claims, losses, costs, liability and charges, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by Insight as a result of Client’s breach of this provision.

Each party agrees to use any Confidential Information only for the purpose of conducting business with each other and their clients in the manner contemplated by the Agreement. Both parties will restrict disclosures of any Confidential Information to only those personnel who have a need to know and will bind such personnel to obligations of confidentiality to the same extent that each party is bound by the Agreement. Upon request of the owner of Confidential Information, the other party will promptly return all materials incorporating any Confidential Information and any copies. The obligations under this paragraph do not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes generally known or in the public domain through no act or omission of the other party; (ii) was lawfully in Insight's or your possession without restriction as to use or disclosure before its receipt from the other party; (iii) is received from, or was made available to, a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; (iv) was independently developed; (v) is otherwise permitted to be disclosed under the Agreement; (vi) is disclosed with the prior written consent of the disclosing party; or (vii) is required to be disclosed in any civil or criminal legal proceeding, regulatory proceeding or any similar process, however, the party required to make the disclosure under the law shall give prompt notice of this to the other party prior to such disclosure so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or give its written consent to such disclosure.

10.       Indemnification. When Services are performed by Insight on your premises or at another location designated by you, each party and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (the “Indemnifying Party”) will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (the Indemnified Party”) from and against any damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred relating to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to tangible personal property occurring at such location in connection with the performance of the Services to the extent caused by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of the Indemnifying Party.  In the event that any such claim is made or suit is commenced, the Indemnified Party shall: (i) give prompt written notice of such demand, claim or suit to the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in the defense and settlement of any claim or legal proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume its obligation to defend, the Indemnified Party may do so to protect its interests and seek reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party.

11.       Limitation of Liability. No action, whether for indemnification or otherwise, regardless of form, arising out of the transaction under the Agreement, may be brought by either party more than 1 year after the damage, loss or expense occurred.  In addition, to the maximum extent permitted by law:

NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF INCOME, PROFITS, DATA, OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY, USE OR INFORMATION,) ARISING UNDER THE AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION OR THEORY OF RELIEF, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DIRECT DAMAGES RECOVERABLE FROM A PARTY UNDER THE AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR TO BE PAID BY YOU FOR SERVICES PERFORMED UNDER THE RELEVANT SOW.

12.       Governing Law and Venue. The Agreement will be governed by the substantive laws of Hong Kong, SAR without giving effect to any conflict of law rules. You are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Both parties specifically agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the courts of Hong Kong SAR in any dispute arising out of or relating to the Agreement.

13.       General.  Notices to be provided under the Agreement must be in writing and sent to the addresses as each party designates under the SOW and are deemed received upon the earlier of actual receipt or 3 days after mailing, if mailed postage prepaid by regular mail or airmail or 1 day after such notice is sent by courier or facsimile transmission. Insight will not be liable for, nor shall any liability to Insight result from, any delays in the performance of the Agreement due to circumstances beyond its control, including but not limited to acts of nature, acts of government, national emergencies, acts of terrorism, transportation delays, labor disturbances, work stoppages, or material shortages. Any additions, deletions or modifications to the Agreement subsequent to the Effective Date are not binding unless agreed upon in writing by authorized representatives of both parties. If any part of the Agreement is, for any reason, found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other parts will still remain in effect.  A delay or failure by either party to exercise or partially exercise any right or remedy does not operate as a waiver by that party to thereafter enforce such rights. Insight may assign or subcontract any or all of its rights or obligations under the Agreement without consent. You may not assign the Agreement or any SOW, or any of the rights or obligations therein, without Insight’s prior written consent. The provisions of the Agreement, which by sense and content are intended to survive, including but not limited to the sections related to payment, warranties, remedies, confidentiality, indemnification and limits of liability, will survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement. The relationship between Insight and you is that of independent contractors and not that of employer/employee, partnership or joint venture. No personnel employed or engaged by Insight to perform Services for you will be considered your employees, agents, partners, joint venture partners, or franchisors. Insight has sole responsibility for the direction of its employees and has the right to fire, hire, suspend, layoff, transfer or reassign employees at will without your consent.  Electronic signatures (or copies of signatures sent via electronic means) are the equivalent of written and signed documents.
