constitutes client acceptance.
General
1. In no event will Secure1Cloud be liable for any
damages, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, special,
consequential, or punitive damages arising out of the use of or inability to
use Secure1Cloud’s services or any content thereon. This disclaimer
applies, without limitation, to any damages or injury, whether for breach of
contract, tort, or otherwise, caused by any failure of performance; error;
omission; interruption; deletion; defect; delay in operation or transmission;
computer virus; file corruption; communication line failure; network or system
outage; or theft, destruction, unauthorized access to, alteration of, or use of
any record.
2. Colocation customers agree to and shall maintain in force and effect
during the Term of this Agreement one or more policies of commercial general
liability insurance, with a company licensed to do business within the state
where the Building is located, insuring Customer against all hazards and risks
customarily insured against by persons locating equipment such as the Equipment
in space in buildings such as the Space in the Building. Customer shall
maintain property insurance (inclusive of coverage for data, media and
electronic data processing perils) written on a “Special Form” basis at full
replacement cost value. Customer’s policies shall contain provisions providing
that such insurance shall be primary insurance insofar as Customer is
concerned, with any other insurance maintained by Secure1Cloud being excess and
noncontributing with the insurance of Customer required hereunder; and the same
shall provide coverage for the contractual liability of Customer to indemnify Secure1Cloud.
Each of Customer’s policies shall name Secure1Cloud and any additional persons,
or entities that Secure1Cloud may reasonably designate in writing, as
“additional insureds”. All such policies shall provide that Customer’s insurer
waives all rights of subrogation against Secure1Cloud. The insurance
requirements set forth herein are independent of Customer’s indemnification and
other obligations hereunder and shall not be construed or interpreted in any
way to restrict, limit, or modify Customer’s indemnification and other
obligations, or to limit Customer’s liability. Prior to occupying the Space or
upon Secure1Cloud’s request, Customer shall submit to Secure1Cloud evidence
that Customer has the insurance policies required hereunder in effect and shall
provide to Secure1Cloud certificates, with copies of all applicable
endorsements attached, to Secure1Cloud.
