Master Service Agreement

This Master Services Agreement (“Agreement” or “MSA”) sets forth the terms of Your agreement to purchase Services (“Service”) provided by ManagedWay Company (“MW”) subject to the prices, quantities, terms and conditions set forth in Your Order Form (“Order Form”) and governed by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. As used herein, (“You”) or (“Your”) refers to the customer.

Property Rights. MW owns all rights, title and interest in MW trade names, service marks, trademarks, inventions, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, and know-how relating to the design, function, or operation of plans and of the hardware and software systems and resources necessary to provide the individual Service elements of which they consist. This Agreement does not constitute a license to You to use MW’s trade names or Service marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You hereby consent to MW’s non-exclusive use of Your trademark and/or logo, for the purpose of displaying Your status as a customer of MW.

Taxes. Service charges are on the Order Form and do not include applicable Taxes unless so indicated. New services or upgrades/relocations will result in additional fees/charges. If a prior Service location remains installed after a new Service location is installed, You will be responsible for Service charges for both Service locations until terminated as provided for each Service. You will be solely responsible, where applicable, for paying local and state personal property taxes associated with Your equipment stored in a facility rented or owned by MW. In the event that MW is required by a governmental authority to pay property taxes on Your behalf, MW will have the right to be reimbursed by You for such amount. You must reimburse MW within 30 days of written notice that a tax has been paid on Your behalf by MW. 

Term and Termination.  MW may reject any Order Form at its discretion. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect for the term as specified on Your Order Form, beginning from the date of MW’s acceptance, and will apply to all future Services that You purchase from MW. At the end of the Initial Term as set forth in Your Order Form, Your Service will automatically renew for successive periods equal in length to the Initial Term, unless this Agreement is properly terminated as set forth herein (“Renewal Term”). You may cancel any Renewal Term by sending written notice to MW of Your intent to not renew the Service at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the current term (excluding Month-to-Month contracts). Month-to-Month contracts must be cancelled a minimum of 30 days in advance by sending written notice to MW. Once an Order Form is accepted by You, You may not cancel Service and MW is not liable to You for any damages resulting from a delay in Service installation.

Billing and Collection of Charges. You will be billed by MW pursuant to the terms of Your Order Form. Subject to the terms of Your Order Form, MW reserves the right to increase Your MRC for service in the event of a rule, regulation, law, or tariff change or increase which increases the cost of providing service to You. By way of example, in the event that an applicable electric utility provider raises or changes the tariff rate under which MW purchases power for Service provided to You, MW reserves the right to increase Your MRC based upon that increase. All invoices are due and payable by the invoice due date. When billing is based on customer usage, charges will be billed monthly for the preceding billing periods. When Service does not begin on the first day of the month, or end on the last day of the month, the charge for the fraction of the month in which Service was furnished will be calculated on a pro rata basis. Billing by MW will begin on the Service Commencement Date. Billing accrues through and includes the day that the Service is discontinued. Past due balances may be charged a minimum service fee of $35 plus 1.5% of the total outstanding amount. Declined credit cards will be charged a $10.00 declination fee. Accounts that are more than 10 days past due may have service discontinued for nonpayment. Accounts that have been discontinued for nonpayment are subject to a $100 reconnection fee. If Your account has been turned over by MW to an outside agent for collection, You agree to pay MW a “Processing and Collection” fee of not less than $50. 

Billing Disputes.  ALL PAYMENTS TO MW ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. If You dispute a term or amount on an invoice, You must do so in writing within 60 days from the invoice date. Disputes must be sent by registered mail at the address provided for herein.

You must pay an amount equal to the part of the bill that is not in dispute. Payment of the amount of the invoice not in dispute will not be deemed to constitute acceptance of the portion of the invoice that is in dispute. If You report a disputed charge to Your credit card company, and MW later determines that it is a valid charge, You agree to pay MW a “Processing Fee”.

Cancellation for Service Interruption. Cancellation or termination of Your Service due to Service interruption is permitted only if You experience a single continuous outage of Service for no less than 7 days or cumulatively for 14 days within a continuous 3-month period. The right to cancel Service under this provision only applies to the single Service or equipment that has been subject to the outage.

Termination of Service. If You cancel an Order Form or terminate Services before the completion of the Service term (“Early Termination”) for any reason whatsoever other than a Service interruption (as defined above), You agree to pay charges to MW, as defined below. These charges will become due and owing as of the effective date of the cancellation or termination. For Month-to-Month contracts, Your liability for Early Termination will be equal to: (i) all unpaid Non-Recurring Charges reasonably expended by MW to establish Service to You; plus (ii) any disconnection, early cancellation or termination charges reasonably incurred and paid to suppliers or third parties by MW on Your behalf or to enable Your Service, including but not limited to any and all waived or discounted installation charges; supplier or wholesaler termination charges incurred by MW; plus (iii) all Recurring Charges incurred prior to disconnection, cancellation or termination plus (iv) any waived or promotional credits applied on earlier invoices; minus (v) reasonable allowance for costs avoided by MW as a direct result of the Your Early Termination. For contracts for a term, Your liability for Early Termination will be equal to Your Monthly Recurring Charge (“MRC”) times One Hundred Percent (100%) of the remaining months of Your Service Term. You agree that the Early Termination Fees defined herein are reasonable and do not constitute a penalty.

All cancellations or terminations must be received in writing according to the above deadlines by certified mail, or e-mail. Upon cancellation or Early Termination, You are responsible to remove Your equipment, data, information, systems and property of any kind from the Service and to return all equipment provided to You by MW to: 600 Executive Dr., Troy, MI 48083. If You fail to redeem Your equipment within 14 days following the termination or cancellation of this Agreement, You agree that Your equipment, data, information, systems and property of any kind will be deemed abandoned and will become the sole property of MW. 

Transfers and Assignments. You may not assign or transfer Your rights, passwords or duties in connection with the Services provided by MW without the prior written consent of MW. All transfers of rights or duties herein, without the advanced permission in writing of MW, shall be void and unenforceable as a matter of law.

Redundant Power. Redundant power must be accompanied by Primary power service. To be considered Redundant power and not Primary power, a Redundant power circuit and its accompanying Primary power circuit must maintain a combined utilization of less than 40%. If it is determined by MW that a Redundant power circuit is being utilized by You as a Primary power circuit, the respective Redundant power circuit shall be re-rated as a Primary power circuit and You may be back-billed to the point of installation of the respective circuit for the difference between the cost of a Redundant power circuit and a Primary power circuit.

Limitation of Liability.   MW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL: DIRECT OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OR LOSS OF USE, EVEN IF CUSTOMER IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, TO CUSTOMER FOR A BREACH OF THESE POLICIES, OR AN ORDER FORM OR TERM AND CONDITION OF MW. IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF AN OBLIGATION BY MW, CUSTOMER’S DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO $500. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT THE SERVICE ON AN “AS-IS” NON-WARRANTABLE BASIS.

MW SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR DAMAGES INCURRED OR SUMS PAID DUE TO ANY FAULT OF CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, OR BY ANY HARMFUL COMPONENTS (SUCH AS COMPUTER VIRUSES, WORMS, COMPUTER SABOTAGE, AND ‘DENIAL OF SERVICE’ ATTACKS).
