1.   This Agreement
 
1.1 Nature of this agreement:  This agreement is the commercial equivalent of an agreement for accommodation(s) in a hotel.  The whole of the Center remains in the Provider’s possession and control. THE CLIENT ACCEPTS THAT THIS AGREEMENT CREATES NO TENANCY INTEREST, LEASEHOLD ESTATE OR OTHER REAL PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE CLIENT’S FAVOUR WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCOMMODATION(S).  The Provider is giving the Client the right to share with the Provider the use of the Center on these terms and conditions, as supplemented by the House Rules, so that the Provider can provide the services to the Client.  This agreement is personal to the Client and cannot be transferred to anyone else without prior consent from the Provider.  The Provider will not unreasonably withhold its consent to assignment to a parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Client provided that Client and assignee execute the Provider’s form of Assignment of License Agreement which will require assignee to assume all Client obligations and will not release the Client. This agreement is composed of the front page describing the accommodation(s), the present terms and conditions, the House Rules and the Service Price Guide (where available).
 
1.2 Comply with House Rules:  The Client must comply with any House Rules which the Provider imposes generally on users of the Center.  The House Rules vary from country to country and from Center to Center and these can be requested locally.
 
1.3 AUTOMATIC RENEWAL:  THIS AGREEMENT LASTS FOR THE PERIOD STATED IN IT AND THEN WILL BE EXTENDED AUTOMATICALLY FOR SUCCESSIVE PERIODS EQUAL TO THE CURRENT TERM BUT NO LESS THAN 3 MONTHS (UNLESS LEGAL RENEWAL TERM LIMITS APPLY) UNTIL TERMINATED BY THE CLIENT OR BY THE PROVIDER PERSUANT TO SECTION 1.4.  UNTIL BROUGHT TO AN END BY THE CLIENT OR BY THE PROVIDER.  ALL PERIODS SHALL RUN TO THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH IN WHICH THEY WOULD OTHERWISE EXPIRE.  THE FEES ON ANY RENEWAL WILL BE AT THE THEN PREVAILING MARKET RATE.
 
1.4 CANCELLATION:  EITHER THE PROVIDER OR THE CLIENT CAN TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AT THE END DATE STATED IN IT, OR AT THE END OF ANY EXTENSION OR RENEWAL PERIOD, BY GIVING AT LEAST THREE MONTHS WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER.  HOWEVER, IF THIS AGREEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL IS FOR THREE MONTHS OR LESS AND EITHER THE PROVIDER OR THE CLIENT WISHES TO TERMINATE IT, THE NOTICE PERIOD IS TWO MONTHS OR (IF TWO MONTHS OR SHORTER) ONE WEEK LESS THAN THE PERIOD STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
 
1.5 Ending this agreement immediately:  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Provider may put an end to this agreement immediately by giving the Client notice and without need to follow any additional procedure if (a) the Client becomes insolvent, bankrupt, goes into liquidation or becomes unable to pay its debts as they fall due, or (b) the Client is in breach of one of its obligations which cannot be put right or which the Provider have given the Client notice to put right and which the Client has failed to put right within fourteen (14) days of that notice, or (c) its conduct, or that of someone at the Center with its permission or invitation, is incompatible with ordinary office use .
 
 If the Provider puts an end to this agreement for any of these reasons it does not put an end to any outstanding obligations, including additional services used and the monthly office fee for the remainder of the period for which this agreement would have lasted if the Provider had not ended it.
 
1.6 If the Center is no longer available:  In the event that the Provider is permanently unable to provide the services and accommodation(s) at the Center stated in this agreement then this agreement will end and the Client will only have to pay monthly office fees up to the date it ends and for the additional services the Client has used.  The Provider will try to find suitable alternative accommodation(s) for the Client at another the Provider Center.
 
1.7 When this agreement ends the Client is to vacate the accommodation(s) immediately, leaving the accommodation(s) in the same condition as it was when the Client took it.  Upon the Client’s departure or if the Client, at its option, chooses to relocate to different rooms within the Center, the Provider will charge an Office Restoration Service fee to cover normal cleaning and testing and to return the accommodation(s) to its original state.  This fee will differ by country and is listed in the House Rules.   the Provider reserves the right to charge additional reasonable fees for any repairs needed above and beyond normal wear and tear.  If the Client leaves any property in the Center the Provider may dispose of it at the Client’s cost in any way the Provider chooses without owing the Client any responsibility for it or any proceeds of sale.  When a Client vacates its accommodation(s) invariably the Provider continues to receive the Client’s mail, faxes, telephone calls and visitors. In order to professionally manage the redirection of the Client’s calls, mail, faxes and visitors the Provider charges a one-time Business Continuity Service.  This service lasts for three months after the end of the date of this agreement.  If in the event that during the Client’s stay there are no calls, mail, faxes or visitors this service will not be applied.   This fee is located in the house rules.
 
 If the Client continues to use the accommodation(s) when this agreement has ended the Client is responsible for any loss, claim or liability the Provider incurs as a result of the Client’s failure to vacate on time.  The Provider may, at its discretion, permit the Client an extension subject to a surcharge on the monthly office fee.
 
1.8 Employees:  While this agreement is in force and for a period of six months after it ends, neither the Provider nor the Client may knowingly solicit or offer employment to any of the other’s staff employed in the Center.  This obligation applies to any employee employed at the Center up to that employee’s termination of employment, and for three months thereafter.  It is stipulated that the breaching party shall pay the non-breaching party the equivalent of one year’s salary for any employee concerned.  Nothing in this clause shall prevent either party from employing an individual who responds in good faith and independently to an advertisement which is made to the public at large.
 
1.9  Client Representation of the Provider Employees: Throughout the duration of this agreement, Client agrees that neither Client, nor any of Client’s partners, members, officers or employees will represent, or otherwise provide legal counsel to, any of the Provider’s current or former employees in any dispute with, or legal proceeding against, the Provider, or any of the Provider’s affiliates, members, officers or employees.
 
1.10 Notices:  All formal notices must be in writing to the address first written above.
 
1.11 Confidentiality:  The terms of this agreement are confidential.  Neither the Provider nor the Client must disclose them without the other’s consent unless required to do so by law or an official authority.  This obligation continues after this agreement ends.
 
1.12 Applicable law:  This agreement is interpreted and enforced in accordance with the law of the place where the relevant Center is located.  All dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted in the country, state or province where the Center is located. If any provision of these terms and conditions is held void or unenforceable under the applicable law, the other provisions shall remain in force.  In the case of Japan all agreements will be interpreted and enforced by the Tokyo District Court, and in the case of France, any dispute regarding this agreement will be settled by the relevant courts of the Paris jurisdiction.
 
1.13 Enforcing this agreement:  The Client must pay any reasonable and proper costs including legal fees that the Provider incurs in enforcing this agreement except that the Provider and the Client will bear their own arbitration costs in the event of arbitration.

-
The ability to deploy public IP addressing.
 
 
-
The option to run server based solutions that require inbound connectivity (e.g. an FTP, web or mail server).
 
 
-
The option to run “site to site” VPN connections.
 
 
-
The Customer is also able to deploy its own “firewall” to manage its own LAN and VPN connections should the Customer wishes to do so.
