10.6   Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that their email is directed through the Service by making and maintaining the appropriate configuration settings.

These updates shall include a subsequent release or version of the Service containing functional enhancements, error corrections or fixes that are generally made available free of charge to AppRiver’s customers that have contracted for the appropriate level of Service. Updates shall not include any release, option or future product which AppRiver licenses separately or which is not included as part of the Service.

14. Service Level Agreement and Remedy

14.1   AppRiver warrants that during the Term, the Service shall be operational at least 99.999% of the total hours during every month Customer uses the Service ("Availability Warranty"), meaning that the Downtime in such given month shall not be more than .001%. The Availability Warranty does not apply to Downtime which is attributable to: (i) events of Force Majeure as described in Section 19 of this Agreement; (ii) acts or omissions by the Customer which are in contravention of this Agreement; or (iii) scheduled maintenance of the Service by AppRiver.

14.2   If Customer believes that AppRiver has failed to meet its commitments under the Availability Warranty, Customer must contact AppRiver in writing within 15 business days of the month in which Customer believes the warranty obligations were not met. The enforceability of this warranty is contingent upon such notice being timely given. In the event that it is shown that AppRiver did not meet its warranty commitments, AppRiver’s sole obligation to Customer will be to provide a credit to Customer against future Service fees in an amount equal to 5% of the Customer’s monthly Service fee for each 30 minutes of Downtime in the calendar month in question, up to a maximum of the monthly or calculated monthly fee. The remedy set forth above shall be Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for a breach of the Availability Warranty.

15. Warranty Disclaimers

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 14, THE SERVICE IS BEING PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. APPRIVER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S REQUIREMENTS OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL FIND AND CORRECTLY CATEGORIZE AND PROTECT AGAINST ALL MALWARE AND ADWARE. APPRIVER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES AS TO NON-INFRINGEMENT, RELATED TO THE SERVICE SUPPLIED HEREUNDER. SOME STATES AND COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO CUSTOMER.

16. Limitation of Liability

APPRIVER’S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' ENTIRE LIABILITY UNDER, FOR BREACH OF, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE ONE (1) CALENDAR MONTH JUST PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO ANY LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL APPRIVER OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSSES OR EXPENSES RELATING TO INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, LOSS OF DATA OR THE COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS, WHETHER OR NOT APPRIVER WAS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE.

17. Customer Indemnification

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold AppRiver harmless from any losses arising from claims or demands (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) relating to the Service that are attributable to the negligence of Customer, any misuse of the Service by Customer, any violation of AppRiver’s Acceptable Use Policy set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement, or the failure of Customer to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement. In the event of any such claim or demand, AppRiver agrees to promptly notify Customer of the claim or demand and allow Customer to control the defense or reasonably settle such claim or demand provided that AppRiver or its Service is not adversely affected by such control or settlement. AppRiver will have the right to approve any attorney selected by Customer to represent AppRiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Customer fails to select a lawyer(s) to defend any such claim who is acceptable to AppRiver within a reasonable time under the then current circumstances, AppRiver may choose its own lawyer(s) and Customer will be responsible for paying the legal fees of such lawyer(s).

18. Force Majeure

If the performance of this Agreement or any obligation (other than one for money owed) is prevented, delayed or interfered with by a Force Majeure Event, the party affected by the Force Majeure Event is excused on a day-by-day basis to the extent of the interference, but only if: (i) the Force Majeure Event is beyond the reasonable control of the party claiming it and without that party’s fault or negligence; (ii) the affected party notifies the other party as soon as practicable of the nature and expected duration of the claimed Force Majeure Event; and (iii) the affected party uses its best efforts to protect against the Force Majeure Event and uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid, mitigate or remove the extent of the delay and causes of nonperformance and resumes performance promptly after the causes have been eliminated. The obligations of the party not claiming the Force Majeure Event are also excused on a day-by-day basis.

19. Privacy Policy

Customer agrees that AppRiver may access, use, and disclose Customer's information as permitted in its Privacy Policy. In this regard, the terms of the Privacy Policy are to be treated as if they were added to and part of this Agreement and shall be binding on all parties hereto.

20. Choice of Law

This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and interpreted in accordance with, the substantive laws of Switzerland (ignoring principles of conflicts of laws), with the exclusion of the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods dated 11 April 1980.

21. Jurisdiction

Each of the parties does hereby agree that any dispute relating to this Agreement, and any other agreement between the parties, the Privacy Policy or the Service, will be decided by the substantive laws of Switzerland (ignoring principles of conflicts of laws), with the exclusion of the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods dated 11 April 1980.

22. General

Any party entering into this Agreement on behalf of another party does hereby represent and warrant that such action was and is being taken with full authority. The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision contained in this Agreement. Any such waiver must be in writing in order to be effective, and no such waiver or waivers shall serve to establish a course of performance between the parties contradictory to the terms hereof. All provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the unenforceability or invalidity of any of the provisions will not affect the enforceability or validity of the remaining provisions. This Agreement, the Privacy Policy, the Order Form, any Fee Schedule and the hours of telephone support availability set forth on the Website, constitute the complete agreement between Customer and AppRiver concerning the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior proposal, agreement, or communication, oral or written, pertaining to such subject matter. There are no inducements to enter into this Agreement which are not set forth herein. Customer may not assign this Agreement or any associated transactions without the written consent of AppRiver. In the event of a breach by a party of its obligations hereunder, the non-breaching party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of posting bond.
