6. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

EWS offers the following Services, found at EWS, which are described in greater detail in the below sections:

  1. Managed hosting service (“MHS”): MHS places Your website(s) and other Content on its own dedicated server with exclusive access to CPU, RAM, storage, and networking resources and wholly unaffected by the actions of other customers, their servers, and their Content. Your dedicated server is given one unique static IP address and the option to serve clients using HTTP/2 (secure, fast) or HTTP/1 (insecure). Additionally, You are given the options to (i) use a server with WordPress preinstalled, configured, optimized, and maintained for You and/or (ii) use the server software of Your choice. MHS
  2. TLS/SSL certificate security management service (“CSMS”): CSMS provides You with the option to secure Your Content with TLS (formerly “SSL”) certificates, which enables HTTPS functionality. Note that a TLS certificate is required to use HTTPS and HTTP/2 with MHS.
  3. Managed DNS service (“DNSS”): DNSS takes care of domain name acquisition, renewal, and setup and related DNS zone configuration and maintenance concerns for You. Ownership of Your managed domains can be transferred to You at any time while still allowing EWS to configure and maintain them. Note that EWS’s ability to configure Your domains is required for CSMS.
  4. Professional email service (“PES”): PES provides You with branded email addresses backed by inboxes or aliased (forwarded) to other addresses. PES may in addition or alternatively provide the ability for sending emails via sendmail at the OS level. Note that EWS’s ability to configure Your domains is required for PES.
  5. Redundant Backup Service (“RBS”) and Quick-recovery Backups (“QRB”) service: RBS provides You with N+2 redundant backups of Your website(s), database(s), and other Content taken daily and weekly; at the beginning of every month, the last seven (7) daily backups from the previous month, along with the last two (2) weekly backups, are archived and stored for “365 days” (12 months) before being overwritten. On the other hand, QRB provides You with cloud backups of Your entire server and attached storage taken daily; each backup is stored for seven (7) days before being deleted.
  6. Website security, cleanup, and data reconstitution service (“SCDS”): SCDS includes auditing, filesystem-level malicious activity and integrity monitoring, frequent system updates, hand-tuned network firewall, credential stuffing and password guessing mitigations, malware cleanup, and recovery and reconstitution services after a hack/attack.

EWS makes these Services (excluding PES) available as part of two primary “packages” or “plans”: Standard and Premium. In addition, EWS offers two secondary or “add-on” packages making features of PES available.

7. MANAGED HOSTING (MHS) PROVISIONS

7.1 STORAGE

MHS includes “unlimited” storage, by which we mean we have not stipulated a hard limit on the amount of storage capacity You are allowed to use. However, You shall not use our Services, MHS, or server storage in any way, in our sole and absolute discretion, that shall impair the functioning or operation of our Services or infrastructure. Specifically by way of example and not as a limitation, You shall not use MHS: (i) as a repository or instrument for placing or storing archived or backed up files, (ii) to place or store Content meant to be, or that is primarily, downloaded through other websites, (iii) as a repository for video Content, or to facilitate the upload and sharing of videos (e.g. like YouTube), (iv) primarily as an upload service or federated upload service of any kind (e.g. like Megaupload, Imgur, Flickr), or (v) as a repository for so much Content that Your use of storage capacity threatens the stability of our Services or infrastructure (as determined in our sole and absolute discretion).

In addition, You are subject to a limit of no more than 250,000 inodes (or “files”) per server on a Standard plan and no more than 500,000 inodes on a Premium plan. You are also limited to no more than 1,000 tables per database and no more than one (1) gigabyte of storage per database. Any server or database that exceeds these limits will, after notification to You from EWS, be required to reduce the number of inodes, tables, or gigabytes (as the case may be) or may be temporarily suspended or terminated in our sole discretion.

7.2 YOUR SERVER

EWS does not offer a web development service, hence undertakes no duty to build any component, feature, or aspect Your website(s) or other Content for You. You shall be solely responsible for providing, updating, uploading, and maintaining Your website(s), Content, and server.

If access to a Third-party Service is required in the provision of any Service, You represent and warrant that You are authorized to provide us with access to the Third-party Service for the purposes of this Agreement. You agree that You retain sole contractual and any other legal or fiduciary responsibilities related to Your access to and use of Third-party Service. Further, EWS makes no representations or warranties about any Third-party Service offered in connection with MHS or any of our Services, and expressly disclaims any liability. We reserve the right to modify, change, or discontinue Your use of any Third-party Service at any time.

If You request that we install any software related to Third-party Service that is not provided as part of our Services, You represent and warrant that (i) You have the right to use and install such software, (ii) You have paid the applicable licensing fees for such software, and (iii) such software does not and shall not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity.

You hereby authorize us to log into Your server for any reason or purposes including the installation and maintenance of software.

7.3 INTRA-SERVICE MIGRATION (WITHIN EWS)

You agree and acknowledge that, as a normal course of business, it may be necessary for us to migrate our servers. Hence, even if You have a static IP, You may be assigned a different IP from time to time. EWS does not warrant that You will be able to consistently maintain any static IP address.

7.4 INTER-SERVICE MIGRATION (INTO EWS)

Migrations of content from a third party into EWS are provided as a courtesy service, and we do not make any guarantee regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete a migration. Some hosting platforms save or represent data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make us unable to assist You in the transfer of data from a third-party into EWS.

You are solely responsible for reviewing the functionality and accuracy of content migrated for You into EWS. If EWS does not manage the relevant DNS records for Your website(s) or Content (CSMS), You will need to update the DNS record for the domain name in order to make Your Content available at its new location. We will not perform content backups or archives in connection with a migration, and we recommend that You back up Your third-party hosted content before migration to ensure that no data is lost. You agree not to make any changes or revisions to Your content during the migration process.

What is deemed a “website” or “app” for the purposes of migration, and the eligibility of such website or app for courtesy migration, is determined at the sole and absolute discretion of EWS and shall not include, for example but not limited to, (i) content consisting of over five (5) GB of data, or (ii) content consisting of more than 50,000 files. Additionally, You agree that we are not liable for any delay in content resolution or loss of data related to migration.

If You are migrating an external WordPress website or websites, we may install one or more plugins on Your website(s) for the purpose of facilitating migration into EWS. You are allowed to disable these plugins on Your external website(s), and any corresponding plugins on Your new website(s), after the migration has been completed.

While not prohibited, we do not under any circumstances support or provide migrations from EWS systems to another provider, hosting service, or platform.

7.5 SCALING AND BANDWIDTH

At the inception of Your Payment Period corresponding to usage of and access to MHS, and unless otherwise negotiated, the server (“Your Server”) hosting Your Content will be an Amazon EC2 instance with (i) 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB of RAM and 1 vCPU (Standard); or (ii) 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB RAM and 1 or 2 vCPU(s) (Premium). EWS will transition Your Server between these memory and processing tiers depending on Your usage and necessity of access to such tiers as determined by EWS at its sole and absolute discretion. Specifically by way of example and not as a limitation or sole metric of determination, we may change Your Server tier due to: (i) sustained high CPU load at a lower tier or low CPU load at a higher tier, (ii) sustained high memory utilization at a lower tier or low memory utilization at a higher tier, (iii) high monthly bandwidth usage at a lower tier or low monthly bandwidth usage at a higher tier, (iv) total storage utilization that exceeds the bounds (as determined by AWS) of a lower tier.

EWS, solely by Your request, may move Your Server to tiers offered by AWS but that are beyond those enumerated herein. EWS reserves the right to charge You reasonable (as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion) one time and/or monthly fees corresponding to usage of such tiers. Any such fees will be added to Your total amount due and paid by You subject to the terms and conditions outlined herein.

AWS has strict limits on the amount of monthly bandwidth available for use by Your Server. Hence, if Your Server transfers data in such a way as to incur penalty charges from AWS exceeding five ($5) USD (“Grace”) in any given month, You agree to pay eighteen ($0.18) cents per GB You have gone over their transfer limit, not including the bandwidth covered by the initial Grace.

7.6 RESTRICTIONS ON CONTENT

You may not include, upload, or facilitate, as a component, part, or whole of Your Content, any of the following: (i) image hosting scripts that allow an anonymous user to upload an image for display on another website, (ii) banner ad services for display on other websites or devices, (iii) file dump/mirror scripts that allow an anonymous user to upload a file for other to download, (iv) commercial audio streaming, (v) push button mail scripts that allow the user to specify recipient email addresses, (vi) anonymous or bulk SMS gateways, (vii) backups of Content from another computer, website, or service; (viii) Bittorrent trackers, or (ix) any script that causes a degradation in the performance of our server, network environment, or infrastructure.

Further, You are responsible for ensuring that any product You sell on Your website(s) exists in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations where Your items can be purchased. We reserve the right and sole discretion to determine whether the sale of any particular item is illegal or otherwise prohibited and terminate Your Service as defined herein.

7.7 AWS CDN

EWS, solely by Your request and at additional cost to You, may augment Your service (MHS) with participation in a Content Delivery Network (CDN) Third-party Service provided by AWS. In the event Your use of MHS is augmented by a CDN, You acknowledge and agree that Your Content will be stored throughout the United States and/or the world. You acknowledge and agree that Your usage of such a CDN may be discontinued or suspended by us at any time, and Your participation is subject Your eligibility, as determined at our sole and absolute discretion, and conditioned on (but not limited to) the following: (i) You must have a service package that includes DNSS and (ii) You must not use DNSSEC. You additionally acknowledge that any TLS/SSL certificates issued to You via CSMS will cease to function.

If using AWS CDN, You acknowledge and agree to abide by the terms, conditions, policies, and agreements of Amazon Web Services.

8. MANAGED TLS/SSL (CSMS) PROVISIONS

If Your use of our Services includes CSMS, we will automatically validate, issue, install, and configure services to use Your new TLS “SSL” certificate(s) (including HTTPS and/or HTTP/2) using Third-party Services such as “Let’s Encrypt”. This requires us to generate and securely store a corresponding private key on Your server. Under no circumstances will EWS reveal Your private key, even to You, even per Your request. Further, we do not allow exports of the certificates we’ve generated or for their use on non-EWS systems.

Participation in CSMS requires DNSS.

9. MANAGED DNS (DNSS) PROVISIONS

If Your use of our Services includes DNSS, EWS will oversee for You (i) the facilitation and acquisition of domain names for a reasonable fee, (ii) annual domain name renewal for a reasonable fee, (iii) setup with related Services (such as MHS and CSMS), and (iii) other DNS zone configuration and maintenance concerns.

By request, EWS will transfer custody of Your managed domains to the registrar of Your choice, after which EWS will no longer have any responsibility to oversee renewal of Your domain nor will You have a responsibility to pay any related renewal fees to EWS. This can be done while still allowing EWS to configure and maintain the corresponding DNS zone(s). However, if You also change the NS DNS records of the corresponding DNS zone(s) such that EWS can no longer configure, manage, or maintain such zone(s), then all related Services and features relying on the ability to configure such zone(s) (e.g. DNSS, CSMS) will be suspended. This is because EWS’s ability to configure Your domains is required for the proper function of some of our Services.

Regardless of custody, You maintain complete ownership of (and ultimate feduciary responsibility for) any domains acquired or renewed on Your behalf.

10. PROFESSIONAL EMAIL (PES) PROVISIONS

PES provides You with branded Email Addresses backed by Inboxes or aliased (forwarded) to other addresses. For the purposes of PES: (i) an “Inbox” is defined as a repository for incoming and outgoing electronic mail accessible via username and password, (ii) an “Email Address” is defined as an address used to route incoming mail to an Inbox or outgoing mail from an inbox; one Inbox can have an unlimited number fo Email Addresses routing mail into or out of it, and (iii) an “alias address” which forwards any mail sent to it to a different Email Address (or even another Alias Address). You are allowed to request as many Email Addresses and Alias Addresses as You want. EWS can, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any of Your requests. You are allowed ten (10) inboxes, each with a storage limit of one (1) GB. You can request additional inboxes for which You will be charged a reasonable recurring fee.

PES, solely by Your request, may additionally or alternatively provide the ability for sending emails via sendmail at the OS level, for which You will be charged a reasonable recurring fee.

Without limiting any of the rights set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, EWS and its affiliates, agents, employees, directors, officers, licensors, and Third-party Service providers provide no warranty or undertaking, and make no representation of any kind, that PES will meet any standards or requirements of performance, reliability, availability, or email deliverability. You acknowledge and agree to maintain independent archival and backup copies of Your Inboxes; we shall have no liability to You or any other person for loss, damage, or destruction of any email messages, Inbox content, or Content.

Participation in PES requires DNSS.

11. MANAGED BACKUP (RBS/QRB) PROVISIONS

RBS provides You with N+2 redundant backups of Your website(s), database(s), and other Content taken daily and weekly. At the beginning of every month, the last seven (7) daily backups from the previous month, along with the last two (2) weekly backups, are archived and stored for “365 days” (12 months) before being overwritten. It is these archives that are available for restoration by request.

QRB provides You with cloud backups of Your entire server and attached storage taken daily. Each backup is stored for seven (7) days before being deleted.

In order to provide these Services, EWS requires access to Your server via SSH. You authorize EWS to access Your server via SSH to facilitate and manage RBS and/or QRB.

EWS will securely store the backups of Your Content either off-site with a third-party cloud vendor or on-site at EWS datacenters. EWS reserves the right to determine where to store Your Content. At our discretion, we may not provide backups for files larger than four (4) GB and for some file types including but not limited to temporary cache files and folders.

Though RBS and QRB are meant to backup Your Content, no technology is perfect. Hence, to guarantee against loss, damage to, or corruption of Your Content, we recommend You also maintain Your own independent archival and backup copies of Your Content. Without limiting any of the rights set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, EWS shall have no liability to You or any other person for loss, damage, or destruction of any Content, including but not limited to the inability to recover or make available a backup or archive created via RBS or QRB.

Further, EWS reserves the right to charge You reasonable fees for (i) excessive recoveries via QRB archives for non-security events if You are on a “Standard” plan or (ii) excessive recoveries via RBS archives for non-security events if You are on a “Premium” plan, as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion. Any and all fees will be billed to the payment method You have on file with Stripe, Inc or added to the total amount owned on Your next invoice.

12. WEBSITE SECURITY, CLEANUP, AND RECONSTITUTION (SCDS) PROVISIONS

SCDS provides Your server with network and filesystem auditing, filesystem-level malicious activity and version control system (VCS) based integrity monitoring, frequent system updates, hand-tuned network firewall, credential stuffing and password guessing mitigations, and malware cleanup, recovery, and reconstitution services after a hack or other attack.

SCDS is understood by You to be a “Best-Effort Service”. Even after taking all reasonable steps, we may not be able to resolve certain issues, reconstitute certain datasets, or recover certain functionalities. We are not responsible for, not obligated to, and will not provide assistance with any issue(s) that arise after fourteen (14) days of any invocation of SCDS except as a separate and independent invocation of SCDS. Additionally, You also acknowledge that, without RBS, the likelihood of success for recovery and/or reconstitution efforts is decreased. Similarly, You acknowledge that, for non-WordPress websites, the likelihood of success for recovery and/or reconstitution efforts and/or malware cleanup is dramatically decreased.

Notwithstanding our Services, You acknowledge Your sole responsibility to: (i) prevent any loss or damage to Your Content, (ii) maintain independent archival and backup copies of Your Content, and (iii) ensure the authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity of Your Content. We shall have no liability to You or any other person for loss, damage, or destruction of any Content.

Further, You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to carry out a forensic examination in the event of a compromise of Your server or account.

Finally, EWS reserves the right to charge You reasonable fees for excessive invocations of SCDS as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion. Any and all fees will be billed to the payment method You have on file with Stripe, Inc or added to the total amount owned on Your next invoice.

13. AVAILABILITY AND DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES

EWS reserves the right to cease offering or providing (i) EWS or any of (ii) our Services or (iii) individual features, functionalities, or aspects of EWS or our Services we may offer, provide, or facilitate access to at any time, for any or no reason, and without prior notice. Although EWS makes great effort to maximize the lifespan of all our Services and features, functionalities, or aspects of our Services, there are times when a Service or specific feature, functionality, or aspect of a Service will be discontinued or reach its End of Life (“EOL”). If that is the case, those Services, or the specific feature, functionality, or aspect of that Service, will no longer be supported by EWS in any way effective on the EOL date.

In the event that any Service we offer has reached or will reach EOL, we will make a reasonable (as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion) effort to provide at least thirty (30) days notice to You via email prior to the EOL date. It is Your responsibility to take all necessary steps to replace the Service by migrating to a new Service before the EOL date, or by entirely ceasing reliance on said Service before the EOL date. In either case, EWS will either offer a comparable Service for You to migrate to for the remainder of the term of Your purchase, a prorated credit immediately applied to Your next invoice, or a prorated refund, to be determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion. EWS may, with or without notice to You, migrate You to the most up-to-date version of a Service, if available. You agree to take full responsibility for any and all loss or damage arising from any such migration.

Similarly, in the event that a feature, functionality, or aspect of any Service we offer has reached or will reach EOL, we will make a reasonable (as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion) effort to provide at least thirty (30) days notice to You via email prior to the EOL date. However, if the Service maintains at least reasonably equivalent functionality without such feature, functionality, or aspect, as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion, EWS will not be required to offer a comparable feature or functionality for the Service or a refund.

EWS will not be liable to You or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of (i) EWS or any of (ii) our Services or (ii) individual features, functionalities, or aspects of EWS or our Services we may offer, provide, or facilitate access to.

EWS has no control over, and assumes no responsibility in any capacity for, the policies, terms, agreements, or practices of any third-party. Additionally, EWS undertakes no duty to censor or modify any Third-party Service. You further acknowledge and agree that EWS shall not be responsible or liable in any capacity, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such websites, software, content, goods, or Third-party Services.

17. PRICES, PAYMENTS, AND INVOICES

You acknowledge and agree that, within fourteen (14) days of EWS issuing to You an invoice, and regardless of You having received such an invoice, You will complete a payment from You to EWS equal to all amounts due for Service as detailed by such invoice using a payment method acceptable to EWS.

The amount due (or “price”) for Service is determined solely by the amounts listed in the invoice received, unless that invoice was issued in error or is inaccurate as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion, and by no other metric or listing regardless of source. If an invoice is found to be inaccurate or was issued in error, EWS may issue one or more invoices requiring additional payment from You subject to the same terms, conditions, agreements, and covenants governing the original invoice.

By accepting and paying an invoice from EWS in exchange for access to and use of our Services for one Payment Period with start and end dates determined by such an invoice and in accordance with this Agreement, You represent and warrant that (i) You have the legal right to use any credit or debit card(s) or other payment method(s) used to pay the invoice and that (ii) all information You supply to us is true, accurate, and complete.

You acknowledge and agree that EWS may provide Your payment method information to payment processing third parties, if necessary, for purposes of facilitating payment of Your invoice. Under no circumstance, other than as required by applicable law, will EWS store or retain Your payment or related information; any transmission or storage of payment or related information will be facilitated by a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards compliant third party (“Stripe, Inc”) and not EWS. You acknowledge that You are subject to the terms and policies of this third party.

If You are being billed on a recurring basis, such as monthly, Your billing date will be based on the date of issuance of Your first invoice. You will then be charged for each successive Payment Period at Your preferred cadence indicated at the initial time of purchase. If You decide You desire to change Your billing date or cadence, EWS must receive Your request at least three (3) days before Your next payment is due. EWS can, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject Your request. If Your request is rejected, You are obligated to pay the full amount owed at the originally agreed upon time and at the originally agreed upon cadence.

By default, EWS uses “Stripe, Inc Subscription Invoices” to accept payments from customers, though we may use other payment acceptance methods offered by Stripe, Inc. Hence, You acknowledge and agree that You may be subject to automatic renewal of Service via recurring payment and that, unless disabled or cancelled, Your payment method may be charged automatically. You are free to modify or cancel Your recurring payment or related settings through Stripe, Inc at any time for any reason subject to their terms and policies. You may also submit to EWS a request to cancel Your recurring payments at any time for any reason. EWS must receive Your request at least two (2) days before Your recurring payment is due so that we have time to cancel it for You. Otherwise, it is Your sole responsibility to modify and maintain Your payment settings. Once cancelled, or after failing to receive adequate payment from You for our Services due to insufficient funds, chargeback, reversal, payment dispute, penalty fee, or other failure, (i) You will no longer be billed by EWS (or Stripe, Inc) or receive invoices from EWS (through Stripe, Inc) for our Services, (ii) You will no longer have access to our Services, (iii) any ability to use or access, and any ongoing utilization of, our Services by You will be terminated as defined herein, and (iv) EWS may pursue all available lawful remedies in order to obtain payment, including but not limited to, immediate cancellation, without notice to You, of any domain names or Third-party Services registered or renewed on Your behalf.

EWS reserves the right to charge any or all fees for our Services prior to the commencement of any work being performed, any access to You being granted, or any credentials being transferred to You. EWS also reserves the right to charge You reasonable “administrative fees” for (i) tasks EWS may perform outside the normal scope of our Services, (ii) additional time and/or costs EWS may incur in providing our Services, and/or (iii) Your noncompliance with this Agreement as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion. Any and all fees will be billed to the payment method You have on file with Stripe, Inc or added to the total amount owned on Your next invoice.

18. REFUNDS

If You pay Your invoice and later decide You desire a refund, and You are eligible for a refund as determined by EWS in its sole and absolute discretion, You have two weeks (14 days) from the date the invoice was issued to request a refund. If EWS in its discretion grants Your request, You will receive a full and complete refund of Your invoiced payment, minus any transaction fees (if any), to the payment method used to pay the corresponding invoice.

You agree that EWS’s issuance of a refund receipt, or any other confirmation or notification of a successful refund whether verbal or written, is only a confirmation that EWS has submitted through Stripe, Inc Your refund to the payment method used to pay the corresponding invoice and that EWS has no control over when the refund will be applied towards Your payment method’s available balance, which can range from three to five (3-5) days to a month or longer.

In the event that a refund to Your original payment method is not possible, and at the sole and absolute discretion of EWS, You acknowledge and agree that EWS may instead write You a check which will be sent to the mailing address of Your choice.

19. UPTIME GUARANTEES

EWS guarantees a service-level uptime of 99.9% of available time per month (“Service-level Guarantee” or “SLG”). If EWS fails to maintain this SLG in a particular month (as solely and absolutely determined by EWS), Your next invoice will be credited with 10% of that month’s Service fee off as compensation. This SLG does not apply to service interruptions or outages (i) caused by periodic scheduled maintenance or repairs we may undertake from time to time, (ii) caused in any way shape or form by You or Your Content (as solely and absolutely determined by EWS), (iii) that do not affect the appearance of Your Content but merely affect access to Your Content such as, but not limited to, FTP or SSH access, (iv) of email Services or deliverability, (v) related to the reliability of certain programming environments, (vi) that are the result of security events or recovery from such events, (vii) caused by Third-party Services, (viii) due to the restoration of backups, or (ix) due to causes beyond our control or that are not reasonably foreseeable.
