Cloud and Enterprise Services Addendum

  1. INTRODUCTION

    PNAP’s Cloud and Enterprise Services are services designed to allow Clients scalable access to resources and services which may be managed or unmanaged to support application hosting, data storage, protection, and recovery as well as internet connectivity. Certain services are provisioned utilizing a comprehensive Statement of Work (“SOW”) and a Responsibility Matrix (“RM”) delineating the specific services to be performed, and the responsibilities of PNAP and Client.

  2. AGREEMENT

    This Cloud and Enterprise Services Service (CES) Addendum (“CES Addendum”) sets forth the specific terms and conditions under which PNAP (“PNAP”) shall supply Cloud and Enterprise Services to Client. The Core Service Agreement entered into between PNAP and Client fully incorporates the terms herein and provides that this CES Addendum, and Client’s execution of the Master Services Agreement constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions stated herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Master Services Agreement. The Initial Term length for this Service is set forth on the applicable Service Order Form (“SOF”), executed by PNAP and Client, making reference to these Services. As referred to herein, “Agreement” means this Cloud and Enterprise Services Addendum, together with the MSA and all policies and addenda that are incorporated herein by reference, including the Statement of Work (SOW), Responsibility Matrix (“RM”), Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), and Privacy Policy (“PP”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to the Cloud and Enterprise Services Addendum.

    General

    PNAP Cloud and Enterprise Services is a set of services designed to lessen the burden of managing everything from core infrastructure to daily administrative tasks. PNAP’s infrastructure services are distinct from other dedicated hosting in that PNAP provides capacity, incident, and maintenance support for all management infrastructure. Client may maintain administrative access depending on the engagement. The Client Statement of Work and corresponding Responsibility Matrix delineates duties, however PNAP is responsible for setting up and configuring hardware, installing and configuring software, technical support, patch management, system maintenance, monitoring and updates. PNAP may (depending on the engagement) provide backups, load balancing, and disaster recovery, as well as security processes including vulnerability scans, intrusion detection (ID) and DDoS (distributed denial of service) prevention and mitigation on an as needed, best effort support basis.

    Service Levels

    As a general rule all PNAP CES offerings are designed to be 99.99% available, at a minimum, and offer credit back to Clients whenever our service becomes unavailable outside of an established maintenance window. A service outage, unless described differently in the SOW, is any loss of connectivity to the hosted application or system for more than 15 minutes. Our 100% uptime guarantee does not include management systems, portals, and reporting or billing services. The uptime guarantee includes access to virtual machines process and stored data. It is the Client’s responsibility to request the credit from their assigned PNAP Account Executive for any service outage experienced. In some cases advanced service levels are available to the Client per the specific design and architecture specification in the SOW. PNAP will work in concert with Client on specific requirements not outlined in the implementation SOW or this addendum to ensure value is derived from this engagement.

    Service Delivery

    For the purpose of this section alone “Service Delivery” shall be defined as ability of PNAP to fulfill an initial order for Service based on PNAP’s SOF. Once Service has progressed past installation phase and has been delivered to Client as a working Service this section shall no longer apply. The Service Delivery is dependent on available space, power, hardware and available network connectivity within a given data center. PNAP reserves the right to limit the service delivery to a new Client or expansion of existing Clients based on availability of space, power, hardware, or network connectivity. PNAP also reserves the right to limit Service Delivery in the event that necessary service components including, but not limited to, electrical power, cooling capacity, cabling, rack space, switching/routing/network infrastructure, application software, etc. are either unavailable, unattainable at a reasonable cost to PNAP, or put other Client’s environments at risk of disruption.

  3. SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS

    For all storage services, PNAP defines a terabyte (TB) as 1024 gigabytes (GB).

    Any of the following options may be added, individually, to Client Service for an additional fee:

    Managed Private Cloud

    Managed Private Cloud (MPC) is a dedicated, built to order, infrastructure offering where PNAP’s SOW governs delivery, management, and administrative responsibilities. MPC hardware is owned by PNAP and leased to the Client on a schedule identified in the SOF. At a minimum, PNAP is responsible for managing all systems “beneath the hypervisor”, meaning that PNAP will maintain all components required host operating systems and data. PNAP is not responsible, unless identified in a SOW, for managing Client’s operating systems, applications, data, backups, or disaster recovery.

    Virtual Private Data Center

    Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) is a multi-tenant, shared infrastructure offering where a PNAP SOW would only govern delivery, management, and administrative responsibilities in unique cases. VPDC hardware is owned by PNAP and Clients are granted access to a specific amount of computing resources. PNAP is responsible for managing all systems “beneath the hypervisor”, meaning that PNAP will maintain all components required host operating systems and data. PNAP is not responsible, unless identified in a SOW, for managing Client’s operating systems, applications, data, backups, or disaster recovery.

    Data Security Cloud

    Data Security Cloud (DSC) is a multi-tenant, shared infrastructure offering where a PNAP SOW would only govern delivery, management, and administrative responsibilities in unique cases. DSC hardware is owned by PNAP and Clients are granted access to a specific amount of computing resources. PNAP is responsible for managing all systems “beneath the hypervisor”, meaning that PNAP will maintain all components required host operating systems and data. PNAP is not responsible, unless identified in a SOW, for managing Client’s operating systems, applications, data, backups, or disaster recovery.

    Backup and Replication Services

    Backup and Replication Services are a multi-tenant, shared data protection offering that provides software, hardware, and connectivity to protect VMs hosted within, and external to, PNAP’s demarcation point. PNAP will manage all hardware and software related to maintaining the service’s availability. In some cases, PNAP will also configure, schedule, and monitor for backups, replication, and completion to ensure success. Client is responsible for communicating requested backup and replication schedule, retry windows, retention periods, and job type during the sales engagement process. Clients may also request changes to any configured setting during the contract period. PNAP will govern all non-default Backup and Replication Service specifics through a SOW. Default backups schedule is one full backup followed by nightly reverse-incremental held for two weeks.

    Disaster Recovery Services

    The Disaster Recovery Service is virtual machine protection offering that facilitates the recovery of “protected” operating systems and data. PNAP will manage all hardware and software related to maintaining the service’s availability. Through a SOW PNAP will configure and manage the protection mechanisms to ensure Client’s virtual machines are replicating between sites. Generally, Client is responsible for initiating recovery events and executing specific configuration (IP address, DNS, etc...) changes necessary to run application in failed over state. PNAP will provide technical assistance and support fail over attempts as defined in the SOW.

  4. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS (SLA)
  5. The following PhoenixNAP Service Level Agreement ("SLA") is a policy governing the use of the PNAP Cloud Enterprise Services (“CES”) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (“DRaaS”) under the terms of the Master Service Agreement (the "MSA") between PNAP, LLC., and Clients of PNAP. Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the terms of the MSA and capitalized terms will have the meaning specified in the Agreement. We reserve the right to change the terms of this SLA in accordance with the MSA.

    General CES SLA

    1. Service Commitment

      PNAP will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Cloud Enterprise Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of 100%. In the event PNAP does not meet the Monthly Uptime Percentage commitment, Client will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.

    2. Service Credits

      If the Monthly Uptime Percentage for a Client drops below 100% during a Service Month, that Client is eligible to receive one (1) Service Credit for every fifteen (15) minute period that Cloud Services was Unavailable up to a maximum amount equal to fifty (50) percent of the usage fees calculated during the Eligible Credit Period or one full month, whichever is lesser. DSC credits shall be 10% of monthly bill per Service Credit and 5% for all other CES products (VPDC/MPC). For the purposes of determining Service Credits Client will only be eligible for Service Credits related to the unavailability of:

      1. The PhoenixNAP Client Portal, or
      2. The infrastructure and network connectivity.

      Whichever Service was least available during the Service month, PNAP will apply any Service Credits only against future payments otherwise due from Client; provided that:

      1. PNAP may issue the Service Credit to the Client account for the Service Month in which the Unavailability occurred,
      2. Client is current with all payment obligations set forth in the Agreement, and
      3. Client’s total calculated usage fees for the Eligible Credit Period are greater than or equal to $100.

      Service Credits shall not entitle Client to any refund or other payment from PNAP. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, Service Credits are Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability or non-performance of Services.

    3. Credit request and Payment Procedures

      To receive a Service Credit, Client must submit a request by sending an e-mail message to [email protected]. To be eligible, the credit request must:

      1. Include SLA Service Credit Claim in the subject of the e-mail message;
      2. Include, in the body of the e-mail, Client’s Organization name, or Client ID the dates, times, and length of each Unavailability Period that Client claim to have experienced;
      3. Include any documentation that corroborates Client’s claimed Unavailability; and
      4. Be received by PNAP within thirty (30) calendar days of the last day reported in the Unavailability claim.

      If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by PNAP and is less than 100% for the Service Month, then PNAP will issue the Service Credit to Client within one Service Month following the month in which the request is confirmed. Client’s failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify Client from receiving a Service Credit. PNAP's data and records will be the sole factor for validating claims due to Unavailability.

    4. CES SLA Exclusions

      The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Cloud Services, or any other performance issues:

      1. That result from Service Suspensions described in the following sections of the Agreement: Term and Termination, and Default Events and Remedies;
      2. Caused by factors outside of the reasonable control of PNAP, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the PNAP Network Demarcation Point;
      3. That result from any actions or inactions of Client or any third party;
      4. That result from Client equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within PNAP’s direct control);
      5. That result from failures of individual functions, features, infrastructure, and network connectivity Unavailability; or
      6. Arising from PNAP’s suspension and termination of Client's right to use Cloud Services in accordance with the Agreement (collectively, the " Cloud Enterprise SLA Exclusions").

      If availability is impacted by factors other than those explicitly listed in this agreement, PNAP may issue a Service Credit considering such factors in our sole discretion.

    5. DISCLAIMER

      If PNAP misses the SLA goal because of problems with Client’s behavior or the performance or failure of Client’s equipment, facilities, or applications, PNAP can't give Client credit. Additionally, extenuating circumstances beyond PNAP’s reasonable control such as (without limitation) acts of any governmental body, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services (including DNS propagation), failure of third party software or hardware or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of Client’s Web site could cause some hang-ups that PNAP cannot be liable for.

    Network SLA

    1. 100% Network Uptime Guarantee.
    2. PNAP guarantees that the network will be available 100% of the time during the billing cycle (excluding scheduled maintenance and promotional bundles which include bandwidth). Clients are not entitled to a credit if the downtime is caused by:

      1. Actions of the Client or others authorized by Client to use the Service under the Agreement;
      2. The failure of Third Party Service to PNAP' network;
      3. Application, software, or operating system failure,
      4. The result of network maintenance activity,
      5. Denial of Service attack, hacker activity, or other malicious event or code targeted against PNAP or a PNAP Client, or
      6. Failure of any Network or Internet Infrastructure not owned or managed by PNAP.

    3. REPORTING REQUIRED
    4. Client should report downtime incidents to us via email to [email protected] or submission through PNAP’s portal at https://portal.phoenixnap.com within three (3) days of the event's commencement. Only one event per report, please. Please include the service type, IP Address, and a full description of the service interruption including logs (if applicable). Downtime officially begins at the time PNAP receives the email "ticket" and verifies an outage, and ends when PNAP has, at its sole discretion, resolved the issue.

    5. EXCLUSIONS
    6. If Client are currently behind in payments for Client’s accounts, or have been behind 3 or more times in the preceding 12 months, Clients don't qualify for an SLA credit for Downtime. Valid SLA claims can't be credited if Client has outstanding abuse issues, but once Client’s abuse issues are resolved PNAP will gladly credit all valid claims. Making false or repetitive claims will cost Client $50 per incident and may place Client in violation of account Acceptable Use Policy and Terms and Conditions. Clients engaging in malicious or aggressive Internet activities such as attacks or counter-attacks are in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms and Conditions and are therefore not entitled to SLA credits.

    7. SUPPORT
    8. 20 Minute Support Response Guarantee. PNAP guarantees that one of PNAP’s talented professionals will respond to Client’s support tickets or inquiry within 20 minutes of submission. This applies to support tickets emailed to [email protected].

    Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) SLA

    1. Service Availability
      1. Cloud Infrastructure Downtime Definition.

        Cloud Infrastructure Downtime occurs when Client’s server cannot transmit or receive data to/from the Internet due to the failure of infrastructure equipment managed and owned by PNAP.

      2. Infrastructure Equipment Definition.

        Consists of all of PNAP’s on-premises cloud infrastructure hardware including routers, switches, and cabling and includes the individual services or software running on the virtual machines (“VMs”); excluding client portals. On Premises cloud infrastructure extends only to the PNAP demark which is PNAP’s network termination point. (L2 or VPN)

      3. Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) Event.

        Each of the following will be considered an SLA Event for the Disaster Recovery as a Service as provided in Exhibit A:

        1. Any Network outage that renders replication services unavailable for more than twenty (20) consecutive minutes.
        2. The data store(s) associated with Client’s DRaaS storage is unavailable for more than three (3) consecutive minutes.
        3. Client’s failed-over virtual machines for a class of service become inaccessible for more than five (5) consecutive minutes due to physical host server failures.
        4. Recovery Point Objective (“RPO”) of more than 1 hour.
        5. Recovery Time Objective (“RTO”) of more than 4 consecutive hours. Any built-in service functions for failover testing, planned migration, or live failover and recovery result in virtual machine replicas not powering on in less than 4 consecutive hours from the time a request is acknowledged and approved by PhoenixNAP. RTO is defined by PNAP as the restoration and successful boot of the Client’s Virtual or Physical servers.
    2. Service Credits
      1. An “SLA Credit” is an amount equal to 10% of the monthly Service Offering recurring or metered (as applicable) subscription charges invoiced by PhoenixNAP for the affected class of service in the calendar month for which the SLA Credit is due. If the Availability of a class of service that Client purchases is less than the associated Availability Commitment in a given calendar month, then Client may request one (1) SLA Credit, and one (1) additional SLA Credit for each additional 300 minutes the class of service was Unavailable, up to a total of three (3) SLA Credits in a given calendar month.
      2. A “Chronic SLA Credit” is an amount equal to 100% of the monthly Service Offering recurring or metered (as applicable) subscription charges invoiced by PNAP, for the affected class of service, in the calendar month in which the SLA Credit is due. Any Chronic SLA Credit is in lieu of any SLA Credits that might be otherwise due. If Client is eligible to receive an SLA Credit or a Chronic SLA Credit in three (3) consecutive calendar months and all the credits are related to the same SLA Event type, then Client may request a Repetitive SLA Credit.
      3. A “Repetitive SLA Credit” is an amount equal 100% of the largest monthly Service Offering recurring or metered (as applicable) subscription charges invoiced by PNAP for the affected class of service, in one of the calendar months in which the SLA Event occurred. If an SLA Credit or a Chronic SLA Credit was already received in the Repetitive SLA Credit period, then the amount of the Service Credit that Client may request will be the difference between the aggregate amount of Service Credits received and the Repetitive SLA Credit.
      4. As compensation for a downtime event, PNAP will credit Client’s account in one monthly billing cycle in the following manner for downtime occurring to only each respective class of service being provided through the DRaaS offering.
      5. Clients are not entitled to a credit if the downtime is caused by:
        1. Actions of the Client or others authorized by Client to use the Service under the Agreement;
        2. The failure of Third Party Service to PNAP's network;
        3. The result of network maintenance activity;
        4. Denial of Service attack, hacker activity, or other malicious event or code targeted against PNAP or a Bare Metal Client. Failure of any Network or Internet Infrastructure not owned or managed by PNAP;
        5. Bugs in code, hardware, or services for which there is no commercially reasonable, known fix (even if there is a known workaround).
    3. Client Responsibilities
      1. Client will ensure new VM’s are placed into appropriate protection groups or requesting inclusion via a support request to PNAP.
      2. Client will notify PNAP of any changes in their on-premises infrastructure that may impact replication.
      3. Client will notify PNAP of any virtualization or network maintenances that may impact replication.
      4. Client will coordinate with PNAP to conduct failover tests. Client will provide PNAP with at least two weeks’ notice for testing. Two failover tests are included per year.
    4. Reporting

      Client should report downtime incidents and failover requests to us via email to [email protected] or submission through our portal at https://portal.phoenixnap.com immediately of the event's commencement. Only one event per report, please. Please include the service type, IP Address, and a full description of the service interruption including logs (if applicable). Downtime officially begins at the time PNAP receives the email "ticket" and ends when PNAP has, at its sole discretion, resolved the issue. PNAP shall initiate support and failover activation response within twenty (20) minutes from receiving instruction from the client to initiate the failover. Client should utilize the “Failover Hotline” to contact PNAP at 888-261-1312 or initiate a ticket.

    5. Account Status

      If Client is currently behind in payments for Client’s accounts, of has been behind 3 or more times in the preceding 12 months, Client does not qualify for an SLA credit for Downtime. Valid SLA claims can't be credited if Client has outstanding abuse issues, but once Client’s abuse issues are resolved PNAP will gladly credit all valid claims. Making false or repetitive claims will cost Client $50 per incident and may place Client in violation of account Acceptable Use Policy and Terms & Conditions. Clients engaging in malicious or aggressive Internet activities such as attacks or counter-attacks are in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms & Conditions and are therefore not entitled to SLA credits. Making false or repetitive claims will cost Client $50 per incident and may place Client in violation of account Acceptable Use Policy and Terms & Conditions. Clients engaging in malicious or aggressive Internet activities such as attacks or counter-attacks are in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms & Conditions .

    6. Application of Service Credits

      Whichever Service was least available during the Service month, PNAP will apply any Service Credits only against future payments otherwise due from Client; provided that:

      1. PNAP may issue the Service Credit to the Client account for the Service Month in which the Unavailability occurred,
      2. Client is current with all payment obligations set forth in the Agreement, and
      3. Client’s total calculated usage fees for the Eligible Credit Period are greater than or equal to $100.
      4. Service Credits shall not entitle Client to any refund or other payment from PNAP. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, Service Credits are Client's sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability or non-performance of Services.
    7. Credit request and Payment Procedures

      To receive a Service Credit, Client must submit a request by sending an e-mail message to [email protected]. To be eligible, the credit request must:

      1. Include SLA Service Credit Claim in the subject of the e-mail message;
      2. Include, in the body of the e-mail, Client’s Organization name or Client ID, the dates, times, and length of each Unavailability Period that Client claims to have experienced;
      3. Include any documentation that corroborates Client’s claimed Unavailability; and
      4. Be received by PNAP within thirty (30) calendar days of the last day reported in the Unavailability claim.

      If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by PNAP and is less than 100% for the Service Month, then PNAP will issue the Service Credit to Client within one Service Month following the month in which the request is confirmed. Client’s failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify Client from receiving a Service Credit. PNAP's data and records will be the sole factor for validating claims due to Unavailability.

    8. General Exclusions
