If SCloud or its affiliates receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, SCloud may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer (i) modify the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching any of its obligations, representations or warranties under these Terms, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Service in accordance with these Terms, or (iii) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions. The above defence and indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent a Claim Against Customer arises from any action by Customer, use of Customer Data or Customer’s breach of these Terms.

6.1.2 The Customer agrees that it shall defend SCloud and its affiliates against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against SCloud and/or its affiliates by a third party alleging that any Customer Data infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, or arising from Customer’s use of the Services in breach of these Terms or applicable law (each a “Claim Against SCloud”), and will indemnify SCloud from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against SCloud as a result of, or for any amounts paid by SCloud under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against SCloud, provided SCloud promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against SCloud and gives Customer all reasonable assistance for the defence and settlement of such claim, at Customer’s expense.

6.1.3 The indemnities set out under this Clause 6.1 states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this clause.

6.2 Except as expressly provided herein, neither party makes any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, and each party specifically disclaims all implied warranties, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

6.3 Subject to Clause 6.5 below, in no event shall the aggregate liability of SCloud together with all of its affiliates arising out of or related to these Terms exceed the total amount paid by Customer hereunder for the Services giving rise to the liability in the

one (1) months preceding the first incident out of which the liability arose. The foregoing limitation will apply whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, but will not limit Customer’s and its affiliates’ payment obligations under Clause 5 (Fees and Payment) above.

6.4 Subject to Clause 6.5 below, in no event will either party or its affiliates have any liability arising out of or related to these Terms for any lost profits, revenues, goodwill, or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, cover, business interruption or punitive damages, whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, even if a party or its affiliates have been advised of the possibility of such damages or if a party’s or its affiliates’ remedy otherwise fails of its essential purpose.

6.5 The limits described in Clauses 6.3 and 6.4 shall not apply to any breach of the Customer’s obligations under Clause 4 (Intellectual Property Rights and Restrictions On Use), Clause 5 (Fees and Payment) and Clause 6.1. Customer further acknowledges that the Service and related features are not intended to meet any legal obligations for use in connection with Prohibited Data or High Risk Activity, and therefore, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, SCloud shall have no liability for Prohibited Data processed or High Risk Activity-related use, in connection with the Service.

If SCloud or its affiliates receives information about an infringement or misappropriation claim related to a Service, SCloud may in its discretion and at no cost to Customer

(i) modify the Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate, without breaching any of its obligations, representations or warranties under these Terms, (ii) obtain a license for Customer’s continued use of that Service in accordance with these Terms, or (iii) terminate Customer’s subscriptions for that Service upon 30 days’ written notice and refund Customer any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of the terminated subscriptions.

6.1.2 The Customer agrees that it shall defend SCloud and its affiliates against any claim, demand, suit or proceeding made or brought against SCloud and/or its affiliates by a third party alleging that any Customer Data infringes or misappropriates such third party’s intellectual property rights, or arising from Customer’s use of the Services in breach of these Terms or applicable law (each a “Claim Against SCloud”), and will indemnify SCloud from any damages, attorney fees and costs finally awarded against SCloud as a result of, or for any amounts paid by SCloud under a settlement approved by Customer in writing of, a Claim Against SCloud, provided SCloud promptly gives Customer written notice of the Claim Against SCloud and gives Customer all reasonable assistance for the defence and settlement of such claim, at Customer’s expense.

limitation will apply whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, but will not limit Customer’s and its affiliates’ payment obligations under Clause 5 (Fees and Payment) above.

6.4 Subject to Clause 6.5 below, in no event will either party or its affiliates have any liability arising out of or related to these Terms for any lost profits, revenues, goodwill, or indirect, special, incidental, consequential, cover, business interruption or punitive damages, whether an action is in contract or tort and regardless of the theory of liability, even if a party or its affiliates have been advised of the possibility of such damages or if a party’s or its affiliates’ remedy otherwise fails of its essential purpose.

6.5 The limits described in Clauses 6.3 and 6.4 shall not apply to any breach of the Customer’s obligations under Clause 4 (Intellectual Property Rights and Restrictions On Use), Clause 5 (Fees and Payment) and Clause 6.1. Customer further acknowledges that the Service and related features are not intended to meet any legal obligations for use in connection with Prohibited Data or High Risk Activity, and therefore, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, SCloud shall have no liability for Prohibited Data processed or High Risk Activity-related use, in connection with the Service.

Service Credit: Service Credits are your sole and exclusive remedy for any performance or availability issues for any Service under the Agreement and this SLA. You may not unilaterally offset your Applicable Monthly Service Fees for any performance or availability issues.

In cases where Service Levels apply to individual Service Resources or to separate Service tiers, Service Credits apply only to fees paid for the affected Service Resource or Service tier, as applicable. The Service Credits awarded in any billing month for a particular Service or Service Resource will not, under any circumstance, exceed your monthly service fees for that Service or Service Resource, as applicable, in the billing month.

If you purchased Services as part of a suite or other single offer, the Applicable Monthly Service Fees and Service Credit for each Service will be pro-rated.

If you purchased a Service from a reseller, you will receive a service credit directly from your reseller and the reseller will receive a Service Credit directly from us. The Service Credit will be based on the estimated retail price for the applicable Service, as determined by us in our reasonable discretion.

Time limit for application: you can apply for service credit in each Service Cycle after the bill are settled. The application must be filed within two (2) months after the end of the Service Cycle in which the incident that’s the subject of the claim occurred.
