2. Access to Teraswitch Services
a. Access to Teraswitch Services. Customer may access and use the Teraswitch Services for which it has registered (via a Teraswitch Order Form or through Customer's Account) solely for its own benefit and only in accordance with this Agreement. As a condition to using the Teraswitch Services, Customer must set up an authorized Account with Login Credentials. Customer will provide accurate and complete information in its Account and will update its information as necessary to keep it current. For purposes of fraud prevention, Teraswitch may require Customer to provide documentation verifying their identity and payment information. Failure to provide accurate information in response to such a request will result in the cancellation of Customer's order(s) and immediate termination of Customer's Account. Customer may access and manage its Account through the Teraswitch customer portal (currently available at console.tsw.io), or through the Teraswitch customer API (currently available at api.tsw.io), using the functionality available through each interface. Customer is solely responsible for the security of its and its Users' Login Credentials. Customer will ensure that its Users do not share Login Credentials with others. Customer is responsible for any use that occurs under its Login Credentials, including any activities by Users. If Customer believes an unauthorized person has gained access to Login Credentials, Customer will notify Teraswitch as soon as possible by email directed to [email protected]. Customer will ensure that Users comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and Customer remains responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of the Users. If Customer becomes aware of any violation by any User, Customer will immediately terminate that User's access to Content Data.
b. Updates to Teraswitch Services. Teraswitch may change the Teraswitch Services at any time, and may add, modify or discontinue references, tiers, options or features, as well as upgrade performance of Teraswitch Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to Third Party Products and urgent changes to the Teraswitch Services in response to security risks, or legal or regulatory compliance updates may result in immediate modifications to the Teraswitch Services. In the case of an update that substantially degrades existing Teraswitch Services in use by Customer (removal of functionality, performance downgrade, etc.), Customer may terminate the relevant Teraswitch Services by notifying Teraswitch at [email protected], within thirty (30) calendar days from the date the relevant update is implemented.
c. End of Life. In the event that any Teraswitch Service or any significant function, feature of or component thereof reaches end-of-life, Teraswitch will attempt to notify You at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the end-of-life date (the "EOL Date"). Customer is responsible for migrating to a new Teraswitch Service before the EOL Date or otherwise cease using said Teraswitch Service before the EOL Date. Prior to the EOL Date, Teraswitch will offer a comparable Teraswitch Service for You to migrate to for the remainder of Your Service Term. If Teraswitch does not have a comparable Teraswitch Service to offer, or if the replacement Teraswitch Service (or any significant function, feature or component thereof) is offered at a significant increase in associated Fees and You elect to reject the offer, You may cease using the Teraswitch Services as of the EOL Date and request a pro-rated credit for any pre-paid and unused Fees. If you do not notify Teraswitch prior to the EOL Date of Your intent to cease using the Teraswitch Service and/or rejection of a replacement Teraswitch Service offering, then You will be deemed to have accepted the Teraswitch Service offer and will migrate to it for the remainder of Your Service Term.
d. Support. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Teraswitch will provide Support to Customer for the Teraswitch Services. Customer acknowledges that Teraswitch is not responsible for technical issues that cannot be identified as being primarily caused by the Teraswitch Services.
e. Harassment. Teraswitch reserves the right to terminate, without notice to You, Your Account and any and all Teraswitch Services where, in Teraswitch's sole discretion, You harass or threaten Teraswitch or any of Teraswitch's employees.
3. Ordering
a. Purchases and Pricing. Customer may purchase the right to access and use the Teraswitch Services by (i) registering for the applicable Teraswitch Services through Customer's Account, or (ii) entering into a Teraswitch Order Form. Teraswitch offers different types of rates depending on the type of Teraswitch Service (flat-rate, metered-usage, reserved, etc.). The Teraswitch Services, Fees, Service Term and payment arrangements applicable to an order are those specified in the applicable Teraswitch Order Form or determined by reference to Customer’s Account settings and applicable pricing and defaults for the Teraswitch Services at the time of order. To the extent the applicable Teraswitch Order Form expressly specifies terms for an order, those terms will govern that order instead of the otherwise applicable Account settings, pricing or defaults. These rates may be linked to a commitment to a particular period of use and/or a specific method of invoicing. Purchase of the Teraswitch Services includes access to any applicable Support during the Service Term. The provisioning time for Teraswitch Services may vary depending on the Teraswitch Services ordered. Some Teraswitch Services are made available only upon receipt by Teraswitch of payment from Customer in advance for the relevant Teraswitch Services. It is the responsibility of Customer to ensure the delivery terms for the ordered Teraswitch Services meet Customer's needs.
b. Payment Method. Customer will pay Teraswitch in accordance with the default payment method identified in Customer’s Account, unless a different payment method is identified in the applicable Teraswitch Order Form or otherwise selected by Customer for the applicable Teraswitch Services. Payment method options may include payment (i) by credit card, (ii) via eCheck/ACH, or (iii) through an online account with a third-party provider, or such other method(s) as Teraswitch may elect to approve. Customer will provide true, complete and accurate information with respect to the applicable method of payment and agrees to promptly contact Teraswitch and to otherwise update Customer's Account if any such information needs to be updated. Customer will ensure that Customer has sufficient funds or credit (as applicable) associated with the selected method of payment. Customer understands that the amounts charged or debited may vary and that its authorization for Teraswitch to charge or debit its method of payment will remain in effect until the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If an ACH payment is returned from the applicable bank account for insufficient or uncollected funds or for erroneous information, Teraswitch may reinitiate the returned ACH debit to the applicable bank account. Any amounts owed to Teraswitch that cannot be collected by ACH debit may be charged to any backup credit card on file for Customer.
c. Purchase Order. Where Customer requires a purchase order, Customer will provide Teraswitch with the applicable purchase order number, and will keep that information current, including on the renewal or expiry of any purchase order. Teraswitch will use reasonable efforts to include the purchase order number on invoices issued to Customer where Customer has provided it. Customer's obligation to pay Fees when due is not conditioned on the issuance, validity, expiry or sufficiency of any purchase order, and the absence or expiry of a purchase order or the exhaustion of amounts available under it will not relieve Customer of that obligation or extend any payment due date. Any additional or conflicting terms contained in any Customer purchase order, proposal or other document shall be deemed to be rejected by Teraswitch without need of further notice of objection, even if such document is acknowledged or accepted by Teraswitch, and regardless of any statement to the contrary which may be contained therein, and shall be of no effect or in any way binding upon Teraswitch.
d. Payment Terms. Customers who choose to pay by credit card or another payment method on file may be charged or debited on behalf of Teraswitch on or about the date Customer is invoiced by Teraswitch for the Teraswitch Services purchased. Regardless of payment method, Customer will pay all invoices issued by Teraswitch within five (5) calendar days of the date of the invoice or as otherwise set forth in an applicable Teraswitch Order Form. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, all Fees are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Unless otherwise set forth in the Service Specific Terms or the applicable Teraswitch Order Form, Fees for flat-rate Teraswitch Services will be due in advance and Fees based on actual metered usage of a Teraswitch Service will be due in arrears. If any payment is delinquent (including if payment is late due to a credit card chargeback or insufficient funds), Teraswitch may, without limiting any remedies available to Teraswitch: (i) terminate this Agreement or any applicable Teraswitch Services; or (ii) suspend performance of or access to the applicable Teraswitch Services, until payment is made current. Customer will pay interest on all delinquent amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. If Teraswitch terminates this Agreement or any applicable Teraswitch Services for non-payment, then, with respect to each affected Service Term, any unpaid Fees that Customer has committed to pay for the remainder of that Service Term shall be due immediately. Customer will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Teraswitch in collecting any delinquent amounts. All Fees are exclusive of all sales, use, excise, value added, withholding and other taxes, and all customs duties and tariffs now or hereafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority upon the Teraswitch Services will be paid by Customer. Teraswitch reserves the right to increase prices for Teraswitch Services at any time, although increases in prices for Teraswitch Services will not go into effect until the next renewal of the Service Term. Upon commencement of any Renewal Term, unless otherwise provided in the terms of an applicable promotion or provided in a Teraswitch Order Form, any promotional pricing or discounts shall automatically discontinue, and Customer shall be charged the rates for the Teraswitch Services posted on the Teraswitch website or detailed in the applicable Teraswitch Order Form. Where required by Applicable Law for Customers who are consumers, Teraswitch will send a renewal reminder notice before any automatic renewal of a Service Term of one year or longer, and will provide a cancellation mechanism that is at least as simple as the method used to enroll. If Customer purchases through a Teraswitch Partner, all fees and other procurement and delivery terms will be agreed between Customer and the applicable Teraswitch Partner. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, TERASWITCH IS NOT OBLIGATED TO REFUND ANY FEES OR OTHER PAYMENTS ALREADY PAID.
e. Invoice Disputes. If the parties determine that certain billing inaccuracies are attributable to Teraswitch, Teraswitch will apply credit to Customer's Account. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer waives all claims relating to Fees unless claimed within sixty (60) calendar days after being invoiced by Teraswitch.
f. EU Consumer Policy. If You are a consumer based in the EU (meaning a natural person acting for purposes outside Your trade, business, craft, or profession), You have the right to cancel this Agreement within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date on which You requested the Teraswitch Services, without giving any reason. To exercise Your right to cancel, You must notify Teraswitch of Your decision to cancel this Agreement by email directed to [email protected]. To meet the fourteen (14) calendar day deadline provided above, it is sufficient for You to send Your notification concerning the exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. If You exercise Your right to cancel under this Section 3(f), we will reimburse to You all payments received from You without undue delay and not later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the day on which we are informed about Your decision to cancel the Agreement. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as You used for the initial transaction, unless You have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. By requesting deployment or provisioning of any Teraswitch Service, You expressly request that performance of the Teraswitch Services begin immediately, before the end of the cancellation period described above. If You are a consumer based in the EU and You have agreed to the Teraswitch Services commencing immediately, You will be required to pay a pro-rated amount of the Fees applicable to the Teraswitch Services You have requested based on the initial Fees You have paid for the Teraswitch Services and the date on which You exercise Your statutory right to cancel the Agreement.
4. Confidentiality
As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means, subject to the exceptions set forth in the following sentence, any information or data, regardless of whether it is in tangible form, disclosed by either Teraswitch or Customer (the "Disclosing Party") that the Disclosing Party has either marked as confidential or proprietary, or has identified in writing as confidential or proprietary within thirty (30) calendar days of disclosure to the other party (the "Receiving Party"); provided, however, that a Disclosing Party's business plans, strategies, technology, research and development, current and prospective customers, billing records, and products or services will be deemed Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party even if not so marked or identified. Teraswitch's Confidential Information includes, without limitation, the Teraswitch Services, any information related thereto and the Login Credentials. Information will not be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (a) is known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (b) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the Disclosing Party) to the Receiving Party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party; (c) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party; or (d) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Each party agrees that it will use the Confidential Information of the other party solely to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement. Neither Teraswitch nor Customer will disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the other party's Confidential Information directly or indirectly, to any third party without the other party's prior written consent. Both Teraswitch and Customer will use commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and value of the other party's Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, either party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information, in whole or in part: (i) to its employees, officers, directors, consultants and professional advisers (e.g., attorneys, auditors, financial advisors, accountants and other professional representatives) who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties to keep such Confidential Information confidential consistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) as required by Applicable Law (in which case each party will, if permitted by Applicable Law, provide the other with prior written notification thereof and use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law). Both Teraswitch and Customer agree to exercise due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of an actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section, the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Both Teraswitch and Customer will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.
5. Intellectual Property and Restrictions
a. Ownership. This Agreement contains a limited right to access and use the Teraswitch Services during a Service Term, not a transfer of title to the Teraswitch Services. All Intellectual Property Rights in the Teraswitch Services belong exclusively to Teraswitch and its licensors. Customer is granted no licenses of any kind to any Intellectual Property Rights other than as expressly granted herein. Customer will not do, or cause to be done, any acts or things contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair any portion of the right, title, and interest of Teraswitch in and to the Intellectual Property Rights. Customer will not delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices or markings that appear on the Teraswitch Services as delivered to Customer. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, You will not make any copies or duplicates of any Teraswitch Services without the prior written permission of Teraswitch. To the extent Customer provides any suggestions, comments or other feedback related to the Teraswitch Services to Teraswitch or its authorized third-party agent(s) ("Feedback"), Customer hereby grants Teraswitch a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to copy, display, distribute, perform, modify and otherwise use such Feedback or subject matter thereof in any way and without limitation.
b. Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, Customer will have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to, and will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each User does not: (i) transfer, assign or sublicense the Teraswitch Services to another person or entity, and Customer acknowledges that any such attempted transfer, assignment or sublicense will be void; (ii) make error corrections to, or otherwise modify or adapt, the Teraswitch Services or create derivative works based upon the Teraswitch Services, or permit third parties to do the same; (iii) reverse engineer or decompile, decrypt, disassemble or otherwise reduce the Teraswitch Services to human-readable form, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under Applicable Law notwithstanding this restriction; (iv) disclose, provide or otherwise make available trade secrets contained within the Teraswitch Services in any form, to any third party without the prior written consent of Teraswitch; or (v) use or access the Teraswitch Services (A) to develop any similar software applications, products or services, (B) to spam, distribute malware or conduct other malicious, abusive, intrusive or illegal activities, including denial of service attacks, (C) to engage in cryptocurrency mining, (D) in a way that could harm the Teraswitch Services or impair anyone else's use of it, (E) in a way intended to work around the Teraswitch Services' technical limitations, recurring fees or usage limits, (F) to violate any rights of others, (G) to try to gain unauthorized access to, test the vulnerability of, or disrupt the Teraswitch Services or any other service, device, data account or network or (H) in any application or situation where failure of the Teraswitch Services could lead to the death or serious bodily injury of any person or to severe physical or environmental damage. For the sake of clarity, cryptocurrency mining, denial of service attacks, spamming or any other activity designed to, or capable of disrupting, damaging or limiting the functionality of any Teraswitch Services is strictly prohibited. This does not affect the Customer's right to use consensus mechanisms such as “proof of stake” to verify transactions in the blockchain, provided that any such mechanisms do not fall under the restrictions set forth above.
6. Monitoring
Teraswitch reserves the right to verify Your compliance with this Agreement. If Teraswitch contacts Customer to verify compliance, Customer will provide information or other materials reasonably requested to assist in the verification (For German customers only: A Customer from Germany is only obliged to provide information necessary for such verification, available to the Customer and reasonably requested for such verification). Teraswitch may monitor the overall performance and stability of the infrastructure of the Teraswitch Services. Customer may not block or interfere with that monitoring. If Teraswitch reasonably believes a problem with the Teraswitch Services may be attributable to Content Data or Customer's use of the Teraswitch Services, Customer will cooperate with Teraswitch to identify the source of and resolve that problem.
7. Content Data
a. Content Data Rights. As between Customer and Teraswitch, Customer retains all right, title, and interest in the Content Data, except for the limited license expressly granted by Customer to Teraswitch in this Section 7. Customer hereby grants to Teraswitch a royalty-free, fully paid up, worldwide, sublicensable, non-transferable (except as set forth in Section 21(j)) right and license to copy, display, distribute, modify and otherwise use the Content Data, solely as necessary to provide the Teraswitch Services to Customer. Customer further acknowledges that Teraswitch may collect Usage Data and may aggregate and/or anonymize Usage Data to use for statistical purposes and share samples of such aggregated and/or anonymized Usage Data with other third parties. (For German customers only: If Customer is from Germany, Teraswitch may only collect and aggregate anonymized Usage Data to use for statistical purposes and share samples of such aggregated and anonymized Usage Data with other third parties.)
b. Customer Representations and Obligations. Customer will only use the Teraswitch Services with Content Data to which it has full right, title or license. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that its use of the Teraswitch Services and related backup to and storage of Content Data complies and will comply with all Applicable Laws, including those related to data privacy, data security, international communication and the exportation of technical, personal or sensitive data. Customer will not, and will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that each User does not, distribute, publish, store or transmit content that: (i) may create a risk of harm, loss, physical or mental injury, emotional distress, death, disability, disfigurement, or physical or mental illness to anyone; (ii) may create a risk of any other loss or damage to any person or property; (iii) may constitute or contribute to a crime or tort; (iv) contains any information or content that is illegal, unlawful, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, infringing, invasive of personal privacy or publicity rights, harassing, humiliating to other people (publicly or otherwise), libelous, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; or (v) contains any information or content that You do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships. Customer represents and warrants that the Content Data does not and will not violate any third-party rights, including any Intellectual Property Rights, and rights of publicity and privacy. If Customer becomes aware that any of the Content Data or any User's access to or use of the Content Data violates this Agreement, Customer will take immediate action to remove the applicable part of Content Data or suspend the User's access. Customer will ensure that Customer's use of the Teraswitch Services complies at all times with Customer's privacy policies and all Applicable Laws, including any encryption requirements. Customer is solely responsible for Content Data. Except as provided in the Data Processing Addendum, Customer is responsible for protecting the security of Content Data, including any access to Content Data that Customer provides to its employees, customers or other third parties, and when it is in transit to and from the Teraswitch Services. Customer must take and maintain commercially reasonable steps regarding the security, protection and backup of Content Data, which might include the use of encryption technology to protect Content Data from unauthorized access. Customer is responsible for providing any necessary notices to Users and for obtaining any legally-required consents from Users concerning their use of the Teraswitch Services. Customer is responsible for any losses or other consequences arising from Customer's failure to encrypt or back up Content Data. Customer will have and maintain appropriate policies and procedures for cybersecurity and to ensure compliance with its regulatory or legal obligations.

Customer is responsible for all fees and costs associated with its use of such Third Party Products, including responsibility for any usage-based or overage charges, or increases in fees or other assessments from the applicable third party. Certain Third Party Products may carry a limited warranty from the third-party provider of such Third Party Products.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that Teraswitch is not responsible for the availability or for the fulfillment of any Third Party Product warranty or for problems attributable to use of Third Party Products. ALL THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED BY TERASWITCH ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. You are responsible for reviewing, accepting, and complying with any third-party terms of use or other restrictions applicable to the Third-Party Product.

This Agreement will be effective upon Customer's entering into a Teraswitch Order Form or when Customer otherwise clicks a box agreeing to this Agreement (during Account creation or otherwise) and, unless earlier terminated as set forth in this Agreement, will continue in effect with respect to the applicable Teraswitch Services for the initial service term specified or determined for those Teraswitch Services in accordance with Section 3(a), which may be hourly, monthly, annual, or another agreed period (the "Initial Service Term"). The frequency of invoicing or collection of payment does not, by itself, determine or extend a Service Term. SUBJECT TO SECTION 9(b) AND APPLICABLE LAW, AND UNLESS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE TERASWITCH ORDER FORM IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 3(a), THE SERVICE TERM FOR THE APPLICABLE TERASWITCH SERVICES WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF THE SAME DURATION AS THE INITIAL SERVICE TERM (EACH, A "RENEWAL TERM"), UNLESS EITHER PARTY GIVES NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL AT LEAST THIRTY (30) CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM OR, IF THE SERVICE TERM IS ONE MONTH OR LESS, EITHER PARTY MAY GIVE NOTICE OF NON-RENEWAL AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SERVICE TERM. Customer may provide notice of non-renewal by using the termination functionality made available for the applicable Teraswitch Services in Customer’s Account, or, if such functionality is not available, by email directed to [email protected].
b. Termination for Convenience. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement or an applicable Teraswitch Order Form, Customer may terminate this Agreement or any applicable Teraswitch Services for convenience before the end of the applicable Service Term(s) by giving Teraswitch at least thirty (30) calendar days' advance written notice. If Customer elects to terminate this Agreement or any applicable Teraswitch Services for convenience in accordance with this Section 9(b), then, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by Applicable Law, with respect to each affected Service Term, (i) any Fees prepaid for that Service Term are non-refundable, and (ii) Customer will be subject to an early termination fee equal to the unpaid Fees that Customer has committed to pay for the remainder of that Service Term, as determined in accordance with the applicable Teraswitch Order Form and Section 3(a).
c. Termination for Cause. In addition to any other termination rights set forth in this Agreement, (i) Teraswitch can terminate this Agreement and/or any affected Teraswitch Services immediately upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches Section 5(b) or Section 7(b); and (ii) either party can terminate this Agreement and/or any affected Teraswitch Services upon written notice to the other party if (A) such other party breaches this Agreement (other than breaches of Section 5(b) or 7(b)) and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof or (B) such other party (1) becomes insolvent, admits in writing its inability to pay debts as they mature or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) becomes subject to control of a trustee, receiver or similar authority or any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or (3) an equivalent or similar event or proceeding occurs in respect of the Customer in any jurisdiction (in each case of (1), (2) and (3), which, if initiated involuntarily, is not dismissed within forty-five (45) calendar days of its institution).
d. Effects of Termination. Termination of this Agreement will terminate all Teraswitch Services, but termination of one or more Teraswitch Services will not, by itself, terminate this Agreement or any other Teraswitch Services. SUBJECT TO SECTION 9(e), TERMINATION OF ANY TERASWITCH SERVICES WILL CAUSE SUCH TERASWITCH SERVICES TO CEASE FUNCTIONING AND RESULT IN CUSTOMER NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE ASSOCIATED CONTENT DATA. FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF ANY TERASWITCH SERVICES, TERASWITCH WILL DELETE OR DESTROY THE ASSOCIATED CONTENT DATA (WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO SECTION 9(e) BELOW AND EXCEPT AS RETENTION IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW). The termination of this Agreement for any reason will not affect: (i) the obligations of Customer and Teraswitch to account for and pay to one another any amounts for which they are obligated by virtue of transactions or events which occurred prior to the effective date of termination; or (ii) any other obligation or liability which either Customer or Teraswitch has to the other under this Agreement and which, by its nature, would reasonably be expected to survive termination. The following Sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: 1, 3(b), 3(c), 4, 5, 7(a), 9(d), 9(e), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18(b), 19 and 21.
e. Content Data Post Expiration or Termination. Before expiration or termination of the applicable Service Term, Teraswitch recommends that Customer ensure it has a copy of its Content Data that can be accessed without the Teraswitch Services. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or required by Applicable Law, Teraswitch has no obligation to extend Customer’s access to the Teraswitch Services or Content Data beyond the applicable Service Term. Teraswitch may agree in writing to extend access solely for retrieval of Content Data, subject to this Agreement and the applicable Fees. Where applicable, retrieval rights and the associated Fees are governed by the Data Act Addendum. Based on a subpoena, law enforcement request, court order or Customer’s violation of this Agreement, Teraswitch may terminate your account immediately. In such cases, Customer may not be provided with the ability to access and retrieve its Content Data.
f. Evaluation. At its sole discretion Teraswitch may make one or more features of the Teraswitch Services available to you on an evaluation or beta basis for a period determined by Teraswitch in its sole discretion (the "Evaluation Period"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: Teraswitch may terminate the Evaluation Period at any time for convenience; the Teraswitch Services during the Evaluation Period are offered without Support and "AS IS" without indemnification or warranty of any kind but without prejudice to the statutory rights of consumers based in the EU. Upon expiration of the Evaluation Period, You will not have access to the Evaluation Service or to any Content Data therein.
10. Suspension
a. Generally. Teraswitch may suspend Your use of the Teraswitch Services if Teraswitch reasonably determines: (i) Customer, or Customer's use of the Teraswitch Services, is in breach of this Agreement; (ii) Customer fails to address Teraswitch's request to take action as specified in Section 7(b); (iii) Customer's use of the Teraswitch Services poses a security risk to the Teraswitch Services or other users of the Teraswitch Services; (iv) suspension is warranted pursuant to Teraswitch's receipt of a subpoena, court order, or a request by a law enforcement agency; or (v) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Teraswitch may give You notice before Teraswitch suspends You, subject to Applicable Law. However, Teraswitch reserves the right to suspend You, without prior notice if, in Teraswitch's sole discretion, you have violated this Agreement or Teraswitch reasonably determines that providing You with notice presents risk of harm to the Teraswitch Services or any person or property. Teraswitch is entitled to obtain injunctive relief if Customer's use of the Teraswitch Services is in violation of any restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
b. Effect of Suspension. You will remain responsible for all Fees incurred before or during any suspension. You will not be entitled to any service credits under any applicable Service Level Agreement that You might have otherwise accrued during the period of suspension.
11. Allocation of Risk
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Teraswitch has set its prices and entered into this Agreement and permitted Customer's access to the Teraswitch Services in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability in this Agreement, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between Teraswitch and Customer (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between Teraswitch and Customer. If Customer is subject to Applicable Laws that prohibit Customer from indemnifying Teraswitch as set forth herein or prohibit Customer from entering into the risk allocation arrangement set forth herein, then the terms of such provisions of this Agreement will apply to Customer only to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, it being understood that Customer and Teraswitch each wish to enforce the provisions of this Agreement to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Subject to the remainder of this Section 14, Teraswitch will defend Customer against an Infringement Claim and indemnify Customer from the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against Customer to that third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement; provided that Customer: (i) promptly provides Teraswitch with notice of any Infringement Claim; (ii) grants Teraswitch sole control over the claim's defense and settlement, and any related action challenging the validity of the allegedly infringed patent, trademark or copyright; and (iii) reasonably cooperates in response to Teraswitch's requests for assistance.
