STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

These Standard Terms & Conditions (“Terms & Conditions”) govern the relationship between Network Advisors, LLC (“NA”) and a customer purchasing Services as set forth on a Service Order (“Customer”) (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”). NA may, at any time, and at its sole discretion, modify these Terms & Conditions, with or without notice to Customer. Any such modification will be effective immediately upon posting on NA’s website at Networkadvisors.com. 

Definitions
Monthly Recurring Charges: the monthly fees applicable to the Services as set forth on a Service Order (MRC); Non-Recurring Charges: the one-time fees associated with the Services as set forth on a Service Order (NRC). 

  1. Term. These Terms & Conditions shall become effective upon the Effective Date, which is defined as the date of the last signature on an applicable Service Order and remain in full force and effect for as long as any Service Order remains in effect (the “Service Term”). Billing for Services shall commence on Service Commencement Date, which is defined as the date upon which Customer accepts or is deemed to have accepted Services, pursuant to Section 2 below. Upon expiration of the initial term as set out in a Service Order, the Service therein shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis (each a “Renewal Term”) subject to price increases following the end of an initial Term until either Party terminates the Service Order with thirty (30) days’ notice to the other Party. 
  2. Services. NA shall provide services to Customer as set forth on a Service Order submitted by Customer (“Services”). Customer shall have three (3) business days to test and accept Services after installation (“Test Period”). If within the Test Period, it is determined that the Services are not in accordance with the Service Order or the applicable service description, Customer shall provide written notice to NA. Upon receipt of such notice, NA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any deficiencies and will provide notice to Customer when such work is complete. Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Services if no notice is delivered to NA prior to the end of the Test Period or if Customer makes commercial use of the Services. 
  3. Payment Terms. Customer agrees to pay all undisputed MRC, NRC, fees and charges set forth on the Service Order (the “Fees”), which may include regulatory charges, surcharges, taxes, or third-party provider fees within thirty (30) days of the date on NA’s invoice. In the event any payment is not received within thirty (30) days, NA may, at its sole discretion, apply a late charge equal to 1.5% (or the maximum legal rate, if less) on the unpaid balance per month. If Customer does not report a dispute within thirty (30) days of the date of NA’s invoice, Customer shall have waived its right to dispute that invoice. Any disputed amounts determined to be payable to NA shall be due within ten (10) days of the dispute resolution. In addition to any other remedies hereunder or at law or in equity, NA may suspend Services to Customer for non-payment without notice until past-due payment is made in full. 

If Customer is a cryptocurrency miner purchasing Services through any NA-leased data center, the following additional Payment Terms apply. Customer agrees to pay all undisputed rates, fees, and charges set forth on the Service Order (the “Fees”), which may include regulatory charges or third- party provider fees; payment is due by the 1st day of each month. 

  1. Regulatory Charges. NA may assess Customer any regulatory fees, and federal, state, local, sales, use, utility, or other surcharges or tariffs imposed by any regulatory or governmental entities or otherwise permitted by applicable law related to the Services provided which may include, but is not limited to, fees imposed by the Federal Universal Service Fund (“FUSF”), the National Exchange Carrier Association (“NECA”) or any applicable local power company service rate, as applicable. Customer may provide NA with an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant regulatory authority, in which case, from the date of presentation of such certificate, NA will not charge or collect the regulatory fees, surcharges, or tariffs covered by such certificate. 
  2. Taxes and Fees. All charges set forth in a Service Order are exclusive of, and Customer shall be responsible for and agrees to pay, any and all applicable international, federal, state and local use, excise, sales, value added, consumption, gross receipts, access, franchise and other taxes, fees, assessments, duties and surcharges (including, without limitation, any universal service fund surcharge) levied or imposed upon NA or Customer in connection with the provision, sale or use of the Service, product or facility furnished to Customer and which NA is required or permitted to collect from Customer (collectively referred to as “Taxes”). Customer shall not be responsible for, and Taxes will not include, taxes on NA’s net income. If Customer believes it is exempt from Taxes, Customer shall provide NA with a valid and duly executed exemption certificate and any other information with respect to such exemption as NA may require; such certificate will be honored from the date that NA receives such certificate and additional information from Customer. If any such exemption is ruled invalid by the tax or governmental authority for any reason, Customer shall reimburse NA for any Taxes, including without limitation any penalties and interest, arising from or in connection with such invalid claim of exemption. 
  3. Access. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms & Conditions, an applicable Service Description, or a Service Order hereunder, NA shall not be liable to provide the Services to Customer in the event that NA is not permitted access to any location required for such Services to be performed. Accordingly, NA shall have the right to terminate, without liability, any applicable Service Order with notice to Customer. Additionally, if NA is charged a fee by any landlord, private location owner, or any other such entity in order to gain access or easement rights to property in order to install equipment or otherwise perform the contracted Services (“Access Fees”), NA may, at its option, pass-through such fees to Customer whether or not such are stated in the original Service Order and Customer shall pay such access fees.


  4. Default. Either party may terminate any Service Order (i) for the other’s material breach (including non-payment) by written notice specifying in detail the nature of the breach, effective in 30 days unless the other party first cures such breach, or effective immediately if the breach is not subject to cure or (ii) in the event the other Party becomes the subject of a bankruptcy (“Default”). In the event of Customer’s Default, NA may suspend Services rather than terminating the Service Order, in which case, Customer must cure the Default, including the payment of all amounts currently due, prior to Services being re-instated. 
  5. Effects of Termination for Cause. In the event of Customer’s Default, Customer shall payall amounts due and all unpaid charges for the entire Service Term and further agrees to pay NA’s reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and collection agency fees) incurred enforcing its rights under this these Terms & Conditions and the Service Order. In the event of NA’s Default, Customer may terminate Services without penalty. NA shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption in Services caused by an act or omission of a third party furnishing a portion of the Services. 
  6. Early Termination. In the event Services are terminated by Customer prior to completion of the Service Term, Customer shall pay NA an early termination fee equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Monthly Recurring Charge (MRC) due for months one through twelve (1-12), seventy-five percent (75%) for months thirteen through thirty-six (13-36) and fifty percent (50%) for the remaining MRC due for the affected Service’s Service Term and any unpaid installation fees or Non-Recurring Charge (NRC), plus any costs and expenses incurred by NA to terminate the Service. To the extent the Early Termination Fee is deemed to be liquidated damages, Customer acknowledges that the amount of damage NA would suffer as a result of Customer’s early termination of Services or NA’s termination for cause is difficult to estimate and that the Early Termination Fee reflects the Parties’ reasonable estimation of the anticipated damages NA may incur. In the event Customer terminates a Service at any time prior to the applicable Service Commencement Date, which is defined as the date on which Services are accepted, Customer shall pay NA: (a) the cost of any third party-imposed termination liability or any third-party charges incurred by NA as a result of such termination; (b) any NRC for installation and/or special construction; and (c) all other costs associated with provisioning the Service reasonably incurred by NA prior to such termination. 
  7. Equipment Removal
  1. Customer will cease use of the Service or Services set forth in the applicable Service Order immediately upon its expiration or termination. Within thirty (30) days of that date (or earlier at Customer’s option), Customer will disconnect its provided equipment (“Equipment”) from the NA network or equipment and remove the Equipment from NA’s premises, as applicable. Disconnect and removal will be performed in a workmanlike manner and reasonable care to not disrupt, damage, or alter any part of the NA network or premises or NA’s other customers equipment or space. Customer hereby consents and authorizes, without any other requirement, that NA, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, may apportion, sell, use, store, destroy, or otherwise dispose of Equipment not so disconnected or removed within such thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration date. NA shall be entitled to keep any proceeds from the sale of such Equipment. Customer will pay all expenses and costs incurred in connection with NA’s disposition of the Equipment.
