  1. Order, Acceptance and Service.

    1. When Accepted by 3rd Rail Systems, the Order submitted by Customer creates a contract between Customer and 3rd Rail Systems, consisting of the Order, the applicable Product and/or Service Description and these Terms of Service. An Order is "Accepted" by 3rd Rail Systems when (i) with respect to Orders submitted online, 3rd Rail Systems ships Products in response to the Order and bills Customer for payment and (ii) with respect to Orders reduced to writing and signed on an approved 3rd Rail Systems form, when an authorized representative of 3rd Rail Systems executes and delivers such form signed by Customer.

    2. 3rd Rail Systems will provide, and Customer will purchase and pay for, the Products and/or Services specified in the Order for the fees specified in the Order (the "Service Fees").

    3. In connection with any Hosting Services, Customer will not use storage space in excess of the storage limits established for the Services in the Service Descriptions, plus any storage space purchased by Customer. If Customer uses storage space in excess of such amounts, 3rd Rail Systems may, without limiting its other rights or remedies, assess Customer with additional fees.

    4. In connection with any Hosting Services, if Customer’s actual bandwidth usage in any month exceeds the limit in the Service Description, Customer will pay 3rd Rail Systems such additional fees as may be specified in the Service Description.

  2. Fees, Taxes and Payment. Customer will pay to 3rd Rail Systems the Fees in the manner set forth in the Order. The Fees do not include any applicable sales, use, revenue, excise or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority with respect to the Products and/or Services or any software provided hereunder (excluding any tax on 3rd Rail Systems’s net income). All such taxes will be added to 3rd Rail Systems’s invoices for the Fees as separate charges to be paid by Customer. All fees are fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid. Unless otherwise specified, invoices for the Fees and related charges shall be due and payable within 30 days after the date of the invoice. Any amounts payable to 3rd Rail Systems not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. If 3rd Rail Systems collects any payment due at law or through an attorney at law or under advice therefrom or through a collection agency, Customer will pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. If any check is returned for insufficient funds, 3rd Rail Systems may impose a processing charge of $25.

Subject to Section 10, 3rd Rail Systems shall, at its own expense, indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from any claim or suit alleging that the Services infringe any United States patent, copyright or trademark existing on the Effective Date, or that 3rd Rail Systems has knowingly misappropriated any trade secret or other intellectual property right of any other Person, including any losses, damages or expenses arising from any such claim or suit.

    3. Each party acknowledges that disclosure of any aspect of the Proprietary Information of the other party shall immediately give rise to continuing irreparable injury to the other party inadequately compensable in damages at law, and, without prejudice to any other remedy available to the other party, shall entitle the other party to injunctive or other equitable relief.

    6. Notices. All notices and demands required or contemplated hereunder by one party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made and given upon date of delivery if delivered in person or by an overnight delivery or postal service, upon receipt if delivered by facsimile the receipt of which is confirmed by the recipient, or upon the expiration of five days after the date of posting if mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses or facsimile numbers set forth below the parties’ signatures.

    11. Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for any default or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than failure to make payments when due) if such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by forces beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, labor disputes, accidents, interruptions of transportation or communications, supply shortages or the failure of any third party to perform any commitment relative to the production or delivery of any equipment or material required for such party to perform its obligations hereunder.
