7. RAGINGWIRE’S WARRANTIES AND SERVICE LEVEL GOALS

 

  7.1 RagingWire Warranties. RagingWire represents and warrants that (i) it has the legal right to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) it is in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable law regarding the Services.

 

  7.2 Service Level Goals. “Service Level Goals” means the service level goals applicable to the Services provided by RagingWire as set forth in the applicable SLA. If Client experiences any Service performance issues or failures, such as Service Outages, described in an applicable SLA, as a result of RagingWire’s failure to provide the Services, the remedies and credits described in the applicable SLA shall apply and serve as Client’s sole remedy for such failure. Client must request credits within 15 days of the Service Outage by sending an email to legal@ragingwire.com.

 

  7.3 Liquidated Damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that because of the unique nature of the Services contemplated by this Agreement, it is difficult or impossible to determine with precision the specific amount of damages that might be incurred by Client as a result of a failure of RagingWire to meet the Service Level Goals, or the specific amount that should be the responsibility of RagingWire in such circumstances. It is further understood and agreed by the Parties that Client shall be damaged by such failure of RagingWire to meet the Service Level Goals, that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages resulting therefrom, that any credits that become payable under Section 7.2 (“Service Level Goals”) or under a SLA are in the nature of liquidated damages, and not a penalty, and are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and such payments represent a reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the losses that may reasonably be anticipated from RagingWire’s failure to meet the Service Level Goals. As an essential part of this Agreement and any SLA, the liquidated damages payable under this Section shall be the sole and exclusive measure of damages and remedy for Client, and the sole and exclusive liability and obligation of RagingWire, arising out of or in any way relating to RagingWire’s failure to meet the Service Level Goals. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the pricing and other terms contained in this Agreement reflect and are based upon the intended allocation of risk between the Parties as reflected in Section 7.2 (“Service Level Goals”), elsewhere in this Agreement, in any SLA, and form an essential part of this Agreement. This Section 7.3 states Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for any failure by RagingWire to meet Service Level Goals.

RAGINGWIRE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, COMPLETELY SECURE, OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO CLIENT.

RAGINGWIRE DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES THAT CLIENT’S USE OF THE SERVICES WILL SATISFY ANY STATUTORY OR REGULATORY OBLIGATIONS, OR WILL ASSIST WITH, GUARANTEE, OR OTHERWISE ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS INCLUDING THE U.S. HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 1996 (“HIPAA”), THE U.S. GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT OF 1999, U.S. THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, OR OTHER GOVERNMENT MANDATES, STATUTES, OR REGULATIONS.
