This Master Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Joe’s Datacenter, LLC (“Joe’s Datacenter” or “we”) and your company or organization (“Customer” or “you”) effective as of the date of your signature on a Joe’s Datacenter order for services or your consent to an order form made available by email or on our website at joesdatacenter.com (each, an “Order”).  You represent to us that you have the authority to bind your company or organization to this Agreement.

1. Service.  We provide the Joe’s Datacenter services (each, a “Service”) described in your Order which is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. You agree to provide assistance and cooperation and meet any Customer obligations listed in your Order.  You retain us to exclusively provide the Service during the Term (as defined below and on the Order). This Agreement also incorporates by reference any “Additional Terms” included by Joe’s Data Center in your Order.  If there is a conflict between your Order and this Agreement, your Order will control.
2. Fees; Payment Terms.  You will pay Joe’s Datacenter a monthly service fee for the Service as set forth in your Order (the “Service Fee”). You will also pay any one time fees or costs set forth in your Order (“One-Time Fees” and together with the Service Fee, “Fees”).  The Service Fees are due monthly in advance unless your Order specifies that they are to be paid in arrears, which may be the case for certain Services.  One-Time Fees are due in advance of your use of the Service. Fees are due on the day of the month on which you begin your Term and the same day of each subsequent month during the Term (the “Due Date”).    We may increase our Fees at any time and such increased fees will apply during the next month of the Term.  Fees are non-refundable.  You are responsible for use in excess of the monthly bandwidth allotment stated in your Order.  Bandwidth overages are invoiced in the month following the overage.
   1. Payment.  When you register for the Service, you will provide us with either a valid, up-to-date credit card number or the other payment information we request. If you select credit card as your payment method, you authorize us to charge your card for Fees on the first Due Date and each subsequent Due Date and for any additional Fees beyond your Service Fee, including any late fees or interest charges. You are responsible for maintaining up-to-date payment information on the Service.  Our obligation to provide Services is contingent on verification that you satisfy our credit approval criteria at all times.
   2. Taxes.  Fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments, including value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes (”Taxes”).  You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with your purchases.  Joe’s Datacenter is only responsible for taxes assessable against it based on income, property, and employees.
   3. Late Payments.  If we cannot charge your credit card for any Fees when due because your payment information is no longer valid and up-to-date, or if we do not receive your payment when due, we may, at our election: (a) suspend your access to the Services, in which case you will be responsible for all Fees incurred during the period of suspension; or (b) immediately terminate this Agreement, in which case your right to use the Service will cease. Payments not timely received will be charged a $5 late fee and will incur interest charges at the rate of 1% per month on any outstanding balance or the maximum rate allowable by law. You agree to pay our collection costs if we hire a collection agency or attorney to collect late payments.    Suspension may be applied automatically when your account is in default.  We do not send postal mail late notices or call you prior to suspension so remember to check to ensure that your account is always current.
