2.1 G-Core will provide Services to Customer as specified in a mutually Accepted Service Order, subject to the terms and conditions herein. Upon Customer’s approval of a Quotation,  G-Core will send to Customer a Service Order for Acceptance. The Service Order is revocable for G-Core Labs. Customer shall respond with Acceptance or non-Acceptance within thirty (30) Days. If Customer does not respond within (30) Days, the Service Order shall expire and shall be void, unless otherwise specified in the Service Order. G-Core will not be bound to provide Services until the applicable Service Order has been mutually Accepted. However, if Customer begins using Services before the Service Start Date in an applicable Service Order, the provision and use of such Services nonetheless will be governed by the terms of this Agreement.

Customer can also order Services by activating them through the Customer’s account on G-Core’s website or other system operated by G-Core. By activating such Services, Customer consents to the prices indicated.

2.2 Customer acknowledges that G-Core (a) does not own or control all local circuit links, leased co-location spaces, leased space cross-connects, Internet service providers (“ISP”) providing connectivity to G-Core, other networks outside the connectivity to G-Core or ISPs, or the Internet and except as set forth in the SLA, G-Core will not be responsible for performance or non-performance within such networks or within non-G-Core operated interconnection points between the connectivity and other networks, (b) is a mere intermediary (i.e., mere conduit in accordance with article 12 of Directive 2000/31/EC on E-Commerce and the implementing article 60 of Luxembourg E-Commerce Act of 14 August 2000 or similar provision) for transmission of Customer Content and does not exercise editorial or other control over such materials and (c) will not be responsible for, and expressly disclaims any liability arising from, any such materials or other data accessible on the Internet or for any actions taken on the Internet.

2.3 G-Core may at any time, and without notice, use the services of one or more Affiliates, suppliers or sub-contractors in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Customer's obligations to G-Core extend to those parties when acting on G-Core’s behalf.

2.4 To be eligible for a Service Credit under the SLA as defined there, Customer must be in good standing with no delinquent invoices, in addition to any other SLA requirements.

2.5 Given the nature of the Services, Customer, and not G-Core, is solely responsible for (i) all bandwidth abuse, theft or other unauthorized usage or activity occurring on Customer 's account (e.g., leeching or hotlinking/direct linking to content), (ii) all resulting Fees and costs, (iii) implementing any monitoring, defensive or protective tools or measures (whether offered by G-Core or a third party) related to Customer’s account and (iv) regularly monitoring all usage of bandwidth and Services and other activity on Customer’s account. G-Core makes available to Customer, through the G-Core reporting tools, data regarding Customer's billable usage of bandwidth or Services; but G-Core is not responsible for notifying Customer of usage or activity patterns occurring on Customer’s account.

2.6 G-Core may modify the configuration of the Services, provided such modifications are necessary due to technical, economic or regulatory developments or to maintain the quality standard of Services and such modification will not affect the essential characteristic features of Services ordered. In such event, G-Core shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer prior to any such modification becoming effective. Customer’s continued use of Services following the modification will constitute Customer’s acceptance of the modification.

2.7 G-Core or any of its subcontractors will from time to time carry out routine maintenance or improvements to the network, software, facilities, servers, network equipment or other technical equipment required for the provision of the Services (“Scheduled Maintenance”). Scheduled Maintenance may cause interruptions to the Services in part or as a whole.

2.8 G-Core may carry out Scheduled Maintenance which is unlikely to affect the Services at its own discretion and without notice. Insofar as Scheduled Maintenance will likely cause interruptions to the Services in part or as a whole or any other problems for the Customer, G-Core will notify Customer at least seven (7) Days in advance or with as much advance notice as reasonably possible in the event that G-Core receives a maintenance notification from an underlying provider. The notification will include time and date, duration and description of any such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if G-Core reasonably believes that timely providing such notice would result in an unacceptable risk of a defect, damage or loss of integrity to the G-Core’s network, G-Core may perform such work and may serve notice to Customer of the need to perform emergency maintenance on the network with a notice period reasonable under the given the circumstances.

2.9 Irrespective of the actual duration of the usage of a Service by Customer, G-Core Labs charges Customer for the full month of such Service, starting from the calendar month in which such Service was activated on the website or other system of G-Core Labs.

3. Acceptable Use

3.1 As between the Parties, Customer is solely responsible for any Customer Content stored, reproduced, displayed or distributed using Services. All use of Services, unless otherwise indicated in a Service Order, is governed by the AUP, which is made a part of this Agreement.

3.2 If G-Core determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that Customer Content or Customer’s use of Services violates the AUP or otherwise adversely impacts the Services, G-Core reserves the right to take remedial measures including blocking or disabling access. G-Core will use commercially reasonable efforts to limit the measures to the extent necessary to resolve the adverse impact without undue interruption of Services. The Parties will work together in good faith to resolve the problems or issues causing, in whole or part, the adverse impact.

4. Cooperation and Customer Obligations

4.1 For Services to function as intended, Customer must cooperate in good faith with G-Core to configure and enable Services. When Customer elects to send or receive Customer Content using Services, Customer is solely responsible for modifying its content identifiers, consistent with instructions that G-Core provides, to enable G-Core to deliver the selected content. This may include changing the alias information in Customer’s DNS record so that hostname addresses of page objects resolve to G-Core’s servers.

4.2 Customer acknowledges that the timely and successful performance of Services requires good faith cooperation by the Customer. Therefore, Customer will (a) furnish all information reasonably requested by G-Core, (b) comply with all laws, regulations, orders and statutes which may be applicable to Customer, and (c) timely perform its obligations as necessary to meet any schedule or deadline in the applicable Service Order. In the event that any failure by the Customer to comply with the provisions of this section 4 results in any delay, deficiency or interruption in the performance of Services, G-Core shall not be deemed in breach of the applicable Service Order for such delay and Customer shall be responsible for any costs reasonably incurred by G-Core in addressing and remedying such delay, deficiency or interruption.

4.3 The Services provided by G-Core pursuant to this Agreement and under any Service Order shall only be used for purposes assumed under this Agreement, and in accordance with applicable local legislation, rules and regulations. G-Core shall be entitled, at its reasonable option, to immediately suspend Services if in its sole opinion Services are being used in a manner that may result in liability or other damage for G-Core.

5. Fees and Payment

5.1 Customer will pay to G-Core all Fees incurred on Customer’s account in full, as set forth in this Agreement and any Service Order, without set-off, withholding or deduction by Customer. G-Core will provide notice of all changes to the Services, including new features, functions or services. The new Services will be effective on the date set forth in the notice. For Services purchased without a monthly or other rate commitment or where such commitment has terminated or expired, G-Core will provide thirty (30) Days’ notice of rate increases.

5.2 All charges are exclusive of Taxes, Customer is solely responsible for all Taxes payable in connection with Services. If Customer provides G-Core with a valid, duly executed tax exemption certificate, G-Core will exempt Customer from Taxes in accordance with the law, effective on the date G-Core receives the exemption certificate. If Customer is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any payment due hereunder to G-Core, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the gross amount payable by Customer to  G-Core will be increased so that, after any such deduction or withholding for taxes, the net amount received by G-Core will not be less than G-Core would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.

5.3 Upon mutual Acceptance of a Service Order, G-Core will begin billing Customer for all monthly recurring charges (each, an “MRC”) as of the Service Start Date. G-Core will bill Customer for MRCs at the beginning of a calendar month for the Services provided in the previous month. G-Core will invoice Customer for any overage and other usage charges, if applicable, the following month the usage occurred.

5.4 All Fees will be billed and payable in euros, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. Customer will pay all MRCs through the Term, regardless of whether or how much Customer uses the committed Services. If G-Core cannot begin timely delivery of Services for any reason caused by Customer, G-Core nonetheless may, in its sole discretion, begin billing Customer for MRCs as of the Service Start Date. Any Service Credit granted under the SLA for a Downtime (as defined in the SLA) will be applied to the next applicable invoice, against any charges for MRCs and/or overages.

5.5 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, Customer shall pay all invoices within fourteen (14) Days of the invoice date by transferring the invoiced amounts to the bank account designated on the invoice. All invoices may be provided to Customer electronically. In respect of all due and unpaid invoiced amounts, G-Core reserves the right to charge (i) in addition to the legal interest, an interest of one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) per month of all invoiced amounts from the due date as set out above until full and final payment of such amounts and (ii) reasonable collection costs incurred in respect of such unpaid invoiced amounts, including but not limited to reasonable legal expenses.

5.6 Prices indicated on the website of G-Core are subject to change upon a 30 days’ notice by G-Core to Customer via the G-Core’s notification system.

6. Defects

6.1 A “Defect” occurs only in case a Service does not operate according to the applicable Service Levels as set out in the applicable SLA or other levels agreed by the parties in writing.

6.2 In case of Defects, the claim of Service Credits, as defined in the SLA, shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy. Customer may contact G-Core for notification of Defects by email (support@gcore.lu).

All communication between Customer and G-Core regarding Defect Reports and remedying of Defects shall be in English.

In particular, G-Core reserves the right to charge Customer for resources devoted by G-Core to the receipt, investigation, troubleshooting and/or clearance of Defects reported by Customer that are not attributable to G-Core (e.g., no Defect is found or the reported Defect is caused by an Excluded Cause). If a Defect reported by Customer is found not to be attributable to G-Core, then Customer shall compensate G-Core at G-Core’s then current hourly rates (depending on the level of technical qualification of G-Core’s personnel that investigated the alleged Defect) and for any expenses G-Core may have incurred (e.g. for using G-Core’s Affiliates and/or G-Core’s subcontractors) when investigating and/or remedying the alleged Defect. G-Core will invoice these charges for the Defect support and Customer shall make payment in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

In this regard, G-Core in principle acts as a data controller and ensures that it will honor its obligations under Data Protection Laws.

9.2 In this context, the Customer is requested to kindly communicate the information below to the natural persons to whom the Customer Data relate (the “Data Subject(s)”) and/or to take note of such information to the extent that he/she is such a Data Subject.

KG), internal communications and task tracking (Atlassian Pty Ltd, Australia; Slack Technologies Limited, Ireland), support (Intercom R&D Unlimited, Ireland; Zendesk Inc, United States).

9.12 For the avoidance of doubt, such Data Processing Agreement forms an integral and essential part of this MSA.

10. Confidentiality

G-Core and Customer will comply with this section 10 when exchanging Confidential Information under this Agreement, including any Service Order. Confidential Information will be designated and/or marked as confidential when disclosed. However, any information that the Party receiving such information (“Receiving Party”) knew or reasonable should have known, under the circumstances, was considered confidential or proprietary by the Disclosing Party, will be considered Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party even if not designated or marked as such.

10.2 The Receiving Party shall preserve the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and treat such Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care that Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but not less than a reasonable standard of care. The Receiving Party will use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to exercise rights and perform obligations under this Agreement. Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will be disclosed only to those employees of the Receiving Party with a need to know such information.

G-Core shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide Services without interruptions (including the Service Levels) as set forth in the applicable SLA. The Parties acknowledge, however, that it may be technically impracticable to provide Services free of any defects or interruptions. Therefore, G-Core cannot and does not guarantee that Services will be uninterrupted or error free.

11.2 In the event of defects or interruptions of Services, Customer shall only be entitled to the remedies, if any, as specified in the relevant Service Order or the SLA.

11.3 Except as otherwise set forth in section 11, G-Core does not make and disclaims (i) all warranties that the Services will be uninterrupted, defect-free or completely secure, and (ii) the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

11.4 Customer represents and warrants that it owns, controls or possesses all necessary rights to the Customer Content and any materials it supplies to G-Core, including the programs and any advertising therein, free and clear of any and all claims, rights and obligations whatsoever and is empowered to grant the rights, licenses and privileges granted in this Agreement.

12. Indemnification

12.1 Customer will, at its cost, defend, indemnify and hold harmless G-Core and its officers, directors, employees, agents and permitted successors and assigns (each a “G-Core Indemnitee”) through final judgment or settlement, from and against any third-party claim, action, suit, proceeding, judgments, settlements, losses, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) and costs (including allocable costs of in-house counsel) (“Claim”) brought against a G-Core Indemnitee arising out of or based upon (a) bodily injury, death or loss of or damage to real or tangible personal property to the extent that such Claims were alleged to have been proximately caused by any negligent act, omission or wilful misconduct of Customer or their respective agents or employees; (b) operation or use of Customer’s products, websites or services; (c) Customer Content, including any allegation that Customer Content or any other data or information provided by Customer infringes any third party Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise violates applicable law; (d) Customer’s failure to comply in any material respect with the AUP or applicable law; (e) the unauthorized use of or access to Services by any person using Customer's systems or network; (f) G-Core’s compliance with Customer specifications; (g) a combination or modification of the Services by or on behalf of Customer by anyone other than G-Core or its authorized agents; (h) distribution (including by sale or importation), decoding, decrypting, duplication, storage, display/playback, modification or any other use of Customer information by any entity other than G-Core; or (i) information, data, or other Customer Content provided by or on behalf of Customer to G-Core.

12.2 G-Core will, at its cost, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors, employees, agents and permitted successors and assigns (each a “Customer Indemnitee”) from and against any third-party Claim brought against Customer Indemnitee based upon allegations that Services directly infringe any patent issued as of the Effective Date of this Agreement under the laws of the country in which the Services are being provided to Customer or any third party copyright. Notwithstanding the foregoing, G-Core will have no liability for any infringement of patents, copyrights or other Intellectual Property Rights based upon or resulting from Customer Content, use of Services in a manner not specified in applicable G-Core documentation, or services or products not supplied by G-Core. If Services, or any material portion thereof are determined to infringe and the use enjoined, G-Core will have the option, at its sole cost, to (i) obtain the right for Customer to continue using Services, (ii) modify Services so that they are non-infringing, (iii) substitute functionally similar, non-infringing services or (iv) if none of the foregoing is available to G-Core on commercially reasonable terms, terminate the Agreement and return to Customer any unused Customer prepaid Fees for which Services have not been provided as of the date of termination.

12.3 The G-Core Indemnitee or Customer Indemnitee as applicable (each an “Indemnified Party”) will (a) promptly provide notice to the indemnifying Party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any Claim for which indemnity is claimed (provided, that, any delay in providing notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay); (b) permit Indemnifying Party to control the defense of any such Claim; and (c) provide reasonable assistance at Indemnifying Party’s reasonable cost. Subject to the foregoing, in any Claim for which indemnification is sought, Indemnifying Party may select legal counsel to represent Indemnified Party (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to Indemnified Party) and to otherwise control the defense. If Indemnifying Party elects to control the defense, Indemnified Party may fully participate in the defense at its own cost. If Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of Claim, fails to defend Indemnified Party, Indemnified Party may defend and compromise or settle the Claim at Indemnifying Party’s cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnifying Party may not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that imposes liability or obligations on Indemnified Party or diminishes Indemnified Party's rights, without obtaining Indemnified Party's express prior consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, other than cessation of infringing activity, confidential treatment of the settlement, and/or payment of money that is fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

12.4 This section 12 provides the sole and exclusive remedy of Customer and the exclusive obligations of G-Core in connection with any third party claim, action, suit or other demand asserted against Customer as described in subsection 12.2 above (in respect of G-Core’s obligations to indemnify Customer only) and G-Core disclaims all other warranties and obligations with respect thereto.  G-Core’s obligations under this section 12 are subject to the limitations in section 13 below.

14.1 Force Majeure means any circumstance not within a party’s reasonable control including, without limitation:  (a)  acts of God, flood, drought, earthquake or other natural disaster; (b)  epidemic or pandemic; (c)  terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or riots, war, threat of or preparation for war, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, or breaking off of diplomatic relations; (d)  nuclear, chemical or biological contamination or sonic boom; (e)  any law or any action taken by a government or public authority, including without limitation imposing an export or import restriction, quota or prohibition, or failing to grant a necessary licence or consent; (f)  collapse of buildings, fire, explosion or accident; (g)  any labour or trade dispute, strikes, industrial action or lockouts; and (h)  non-performance by suppliers or subcontractors (other than by Affiliate of Party seeking to rely on this section).

14.2 Provided it has complied with subsection 14.3, if a Party is prevented, hindered or delayed in or from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by an event of Force Majeure (“Affected Party”), the Affected Party shall not be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise liable for any such failure or delay in the performance of such obligations. The time for performance of such obligations shall be extended accordingly.

14.3 The Affected Party shall:

(a)  as soon as reasonably practicable after the start of the event of Force Majeure but no later than three (3) Days from its start, notify the other Party in writing of the Force Majeure, the date on which it started, its likely or potential duration, and the effect of the Force Majeure on its ability to perform any of its obligations under the agreement; and

(b)  use all reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure event on the performance of its obligations.

If the Force Majeure prevents, hinders or delays the Affected Party’s performance of its obligations for a continuous period of more than six (6) weeks, the Party not affected by the Force Majeure may terminate this Agreement by giving one (1) weeks’ written notice to the Affected Party.

15. Term and Termination

15.1 This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for the initial period of 12 (twelve) months, unless another initial subscription period is agreed in the Service Order (“Initial Subscription Term”).  The Services will renew automatically for periods equal to the Initial Subscription Period (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless, at least thirty (30) Days before expiration of the Initial Subscription Term or, subsequently, the Renewal Term, either Party provides notice of non-renewal. The Initial Subscription Term and all Renewal Terms are collectively, the “Term”. If the Parties enter into a Service Order that expires after the Term, the Term will be deemed to expire on the same date as such Service Order.

15.2 Customer may terminate this Agreement for cause, upon notice to G-Core, if (i) a receiver or administrator is appointed for G-Core or its property; (ii) G-Core makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) G-Core commences, or has commenced against it, proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law which are not dismissed within sixty (60) Days; (iv) G-Core is liquidated or dissolved; (v) G-Core ceases to do business or otherwise terminates its business operations; or (vi) G-Core materially breaches this Agreement and such breach continues unremedied for twenty (20) Days after receipt of notice from Customer. For clarity, a Downtime (as defined in the SLA) is not grounds to terminate this Agreement for cause; Customer's sole remedy for a Downtime is set forth in the SLA.

15.3 G-Core may terminate this Agreement for cause and/or suspend Services upon notice to Customer if (i) a receiver or administrator is appointed for Customer or its property; (ii) Customer makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iii) Customer commences, or has commenced against it, proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law which are not dismissed within sixty (60) Days; (iv) Customer is liquidated or dissolved; (v) Customer ceases to do business or otherwise terminates its business operations; (vi) Customer fails to pay all invoiced Fees within thirty (30) Days from the invoice date; (vii) any use of Services, including Customer Content, actually or allegedly infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Rights or otherwise violates the AUP or any applicable law, regulation or order; or (viii) Customer otherwise materially breaches this Agreement and such breach continues unremedied for twenty (20) Days after receipt of notice from G-Core. G-Core may terminate, interrupt or suspend Service without prior notice if necessary to (1) prevent or protect against fraud, (2) protect G-Core’s personnel, facilities, equipment, network or services, (3) prevent violation of section 10 or infringement upon the rights of others or (4) prevent potential material liability.

15.4 Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason, (i) all rights to access or use Services and any other G-Core Intellectual Property Rights will terminate and G-Core will cease providing same, (ii) Customer will pay to G-Core all Fees accrued but unpaid as of the date of expiration or termination, (iii) all liabilities accrued before the date of expiration or termination will survive and (iv) Customer will return or destroy, and certify in writing to G-Core such destruction of, all copies of G-Core Confidential Information.

15.5 If Customer terminates the Agreement, a Service Order without cause or if G-Core terminates the Agreement for cause pursuant to section 15.3, Customer will be billed and pay to G-Core an amount equal to Customer’s MRCs multiplied by the number of months remaining in the Term (“Early Termination Fee”). The Parties agree that G-Core’s damages in the event of the foregoing will be difficult or impossible to ascertain; therefore, the foregoing is intended to establish liquidated damages in such event and is not a penalty. If Customer terminates the Agreement for cause pursuant to subsection 15.2, Customer will not be obligated to pay Early Termination Fee.

15.6 In preparing a final invoice to Customer, which Customer will pay pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, G-Core will (i) calculate the balance due, (ii) deduct from such balance the unused portion, if any, of any prepaid Fees or Customer deposit and (c) bill Customer for the remaining balance due. If there remains an unused portion of any prepaid Fees or Customer deposit after satisfaction of the balance due, G-Core will refund to Customer such unused portion.

16. Suspension of Services

16.1 G-Core may, upon giving notice to Customer, without prejudice to any of G-Core’s rights to terminate this Agreement or any Service Order hereunder, suspend provision of all or any of Services in the event that

(a) suspension of Services is required in order to comply with the directive of an authority and/or court;

(b) G-Core has grounds for suspecting that Customer is committing any illegal or unlawful act in connection with the use of Services;

(c) if Customer is in default with its payment obligations under any Service Order for more than thirty (30) Days, and/or

(d) any other provision within this Agreement or Service Order allows G-Core to suspend provision of all or any of Services.

16.2 If any Services are suspended as a consequence of Customer's act or omission, (i) Customer shall remain liable to pay the respective Fees as if Services had been properly provided by G-Core, and (ii) Customer shall reimburse G-Core for any additional charges and expenses incurred due to the suspension and/or recommencement of Services.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1 During the Term, G-Core may publicize the existence of the relationship between the Parties for the purpose of its marketing activities.

Either Party may change its contact information upon notice to the other Party.

17.3 If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or contrary to law, such holding will not render the Agreement unenforceable or contrary to law as a whole, and, in such event, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such provisions within the limits of applicable law.

17.4 Neither Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the other Party’s express prior consent except that G-Core may freely assign any and all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (a) to a parent or Affiliate or (b) in connection with a Change of Control. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all permitted successors and assigns. Unless expressly permitted in writing by G-Core, Customer may not assign, transfer, distribute, resell, lease or otherwise provide access to the G-Core Services to any third party.

17.5 Each Party acknowledges that the Services, Confidential Information, hardware, software, technology, devices or other materials or information obtained from or provided to the other Party under this Agreement may be protected under, and subject to, import and export control laws of the European Union, its member states, or the United States, as well as those of equivalent in other jurisdictions; accordingly, their use, import, export and reexport, may be restricted, prohibited or necessitate securing licenses which either Customer or G-Core, as applicable, will obtain or provide information for the securing of such licenses, depending on who is designated as the importer and exporter in the transaction. Each Party agrees not to directly or indirectly export, re-export or cause to be exported or re-exported, any such Confidential Information, Services, hardware, software, technology, device or other such materials or information to any destination or entity prohibited or restricted under the laws of the European Union, its member states, or of the United States, unless it will have first obtained express prior consent of the disclosing Party, the applicable agency or governmental body, either in writing as required hereunder or as provided by applicable regulation, as the same may be amended from time to time.

17.6 This Agreement, the Services Specifications, the SLA, the AUP, all Service Orders and other documents between the Parties incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to its subject matter and supersede all other prior or contemporaneous representations, understandings or agreements; and there are no other representations, understandings or agreements between the Parties relative to such subject matter.

17.7 From time to time this Agreement, including all Services Specifications, the SLA and the AUP can be modified by G-Core. Such modifications will not apply retroactively. The Customer will be notified by G-Core by email or a written notice in the Customer’s account in the G-Core system.   

17.8 If there is an irreconcilable conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and any other documents referenced herein, the conflict will be resolved in the following order of precedence: (a) this Agreement; (b) Services Specification; (c) SLA; (d) AUP; and (e) other documents. If a provision of this Service Order conflicts with the aforementioned documents, those documents will take precedence, unless the conflicting provision in the Service Order explicitly amends Agreement, the Services Specification, the SLA or the AUP respectively.

17.9 This Agreement and any Service Order hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, without regard to International Private Law. All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of arbitration of the Arbitration Center of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce by three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules. Each Party waives any objection (on the grounds of lack of jurisdiction, forum non conveniens or otherwise) to the exercise of such jurisdiction over it by any such courts. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement and any Service Order hereunder.

Controller and Processor are jointly referred to as “Parties” and singly as a “Party”.

G‑Core Labs will provide Escorted Access to Customer only for the purpose of removing Customer’s equipment from the Licensed Space and/or for testing, resetting, modifying and/or configuring the Customer’s equipment and/or equipment of G‑Core Labs rented by Customer located within the Licensed Space. During Escorted Access, Customer must comply (i) with all rules and procedures applicable to the Licensed Space, in particular any applicable acceptable use policy, and (ii) with all related orders and directions of G‑Core Labs’s personnel. Escorted Access will be charged with G‑Core Labs’s hourly rates (depending on the level of technical qualification of G‑Core Labs’s personnel to accompany and supervise Customer) and has to be requested by Customer at least five Days in advance. Instead of G‑Core Labs personnel, G‑Core Labs may also use personnel of G‑Core Labs’s subcontractors to provide Escorted Access to Customer and may charge G‑Core Labs’s respective expenses to Customer.

2.5 G‑Core Labs will provide Colocation Services only up to the relevant location at which G‑Core Labs’s responsibility to provide equipment and Services ends and where Customer’s responsibilities begin (“Service Delivery Point”), as identified within the Specifications, and shall not be responsible for providing any Colocation Services on Customer’s side of the Service Delivery Point or for providing in-house cabling or conduits unless agreed otherwise in the Service Order.

2.6 Unless agreed otherwise in the Service Order, Customer is solely responsible for providing and maintaining all necessary electronic communications required to linking the Colocation Services, including wiring, communication line access and networking devices.

2.7 The Colocation Service shall be provided subject to G‑Core Labs’s Acceptable Use Policy, available at https://gcorelabs.com/legal. Customer agrees to use the Colocation Services only in compliance with Acceptable Use Policy.

2.8 The Parties agree that if G‑Core Labs, in its sole discretion, determines that an emergency action is necessary to protect G‑Core Labs’s network, G‑Core Labs may block any path over G‑Core Labs’s network used by Customer.

2.9 While Customer has no right to use the Colocation Services after the Service Order expires or terminates, if G‑Core Labs permits Customer to do so in its sole discretion, Customer will remain bound by the terms of the MSA, including, without limitation, all payment obligations and such continued use may be terminated by G‑Core Labs immediately upon notice.

3.Delay of Colocation Services

3.1 Any tentative commencement date for provision of the Colocation Services (e.g. the estimated delivery date) or lead-time provided by G‑Core Labs to Customer which is not specified as “Committed Commencement Date” by G‑Core Labs shall be deemed a target date for commencement of the Colocation Service and shall not be binding on or create any liability for G‑Core Labs.

4.Service Delivery

The ready for service date (“RFS Date”) for a Colocation Service shall be the date (a) on which G‑Core Labs sends a notification via email to Customer, confirming that the respective Licensed Space is ready for Customer’s use as agreed in the applicable Service Order, or (b) on which Customer starts using the Colocation Service without such notification by G‑Core Labs, whichever (a) or (b) is earlier.

5.Removal of Customer’s Property

Customer will remove all of Customer’s property, in particular any of Customer’s equipment, from the Licensed Space on or before the expiry or termination of the Service Order. Unless G‑Core Labs otherwise agrees in writing, failure to remove Customer’s property within seven Days from the expiry or termination of the Service Order or within twenty Days if the Service Order is terminated due to G‑Core Labs’s material breach, will be deemed an abandonment of Customer’s property and G‑Core Labs will be entitled to pursue all available legal remedies, including, without limitation and at Customer’s risk and costs, (i) immediately removing Customer’s property and storing it at Customer’s costs at another location of G‑Core Labs’s reasonable choice, (ii) shipping Customer’s property to Customer, or (iii) upon thirty calendar days prior written notice to Customer liquidating Customer’s property and retaining the proceeds.

Any date and time specified by Customer for G‑Core Labs to perform the requested Remote Hands Service shall only be an estimated delivery date.

6.4 Customer acknowledges that the timely and successful fulfillment of a Services Request requires good faith cooperation and frequent communication between the Parties as well as precise technical directions and orders by Customer. Remote Hands Services will be performed by G‑Core Labs solely as instructed by Customer. Further, Customer will furnish all information reasonably requested by G‑Core Labs to provide the respective Remote Hands Service, including provision of access to all relevant technical information, competent and qualified Customer personnel, facilities, equipment and software that G‑Core Labs or its personnel or subcontractors may reasonably request. Upon Customer’s request, G‑Core Labs will keep Customer informed on the progress regarding any Service Request.

6.5 G‑Core Labs reserves the right to reject a Service Request submitted by Customer, in particular if, in G‑Core Labs’s sole judgment, (a) G‑Core Labs lacks sufficient facilities, material, equipment, capacity or regulatory authority to fulfill the Service Request, (b) the requested Remote Hands Service would endanger technical equipment of G‑Core Labs or any third party, and/or (c) Customer does not provide sufficient information in accordance with subsection 6.4 above for G‑Core Labs to fulfill the respective Service Request.

6.6 After completion of a Service Request, G‑Core Labs shall notify Customer thereof via email. The date of that email shall be the RFS Date with respect to the Remote Hands Services provided when processing that Service Request.

6.7 G‑Core Labs will only provide Remote Hands Services as instructed by Customer. G‑Core Labs therefore does not make and disclaims (i) all warranties that the Remote Hands Services will be performed defect-free or completely secure, and (ii) the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. All Remote Hands Services are provided on an “as is” basis and Customer’s use of the Remote Hands Services is solely at its own risk. Section 11 of the MSA remains unaffected.

• Carry out background and reference checks, where applicable.

• Communicate with you about the recruitment process.

• Keep records related to our hiring processes.

• Comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to appoint you to work since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint someone to that role or work.

We also need to process your personal information to decide whether to enter into a contract with you.

Having received your CV and covering letter or your application form, we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for the role. If you do, we will decide whether your application is strong enough to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you the role or work. If we decide to offer you the role or work, we will then take up references and background check before confirming your appointment.

If you fail to provide personal information

If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a credit check or references for this role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.

HOW WE USE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will use your particularly sensitive personal information in the following ways:

• We will use information about your disability status to consider whether we need to provide appropriate adjustments during the recruitment process, for example whether adjustments need to be made during a test or interview.

DATA SHARING

Why might you share my personal information with third parties?

We will only share your personal information with the following third parties for the purposes of processing your application: a search consultancy, recruitment agency or background checking agency. All our third-party service providers and other entities in the group are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with our policies. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
