5.2 Warranties and Disclaimers by Exodus.
5.2(a) Service Level Warranty. In the event Customer experiences any
of the following and Exodus determines in its reasonable judgment that such
liability was caused by Exodus' failure to provide Internet Data Center Services
for reasons within Exodus' reasonable control and not as a result of any actions
or inactions of Customer or any third parties (including Customer Equipment and
third party equipment), Exodus will, upon Customer's request in accordance with
paragraph (iii) below, credit Customer's account as described below.
(i) Inability to Access the Internet (Downtime). If Customer is
unable to transmit and receive information from Exodus' Internet Data Centers
(i.e., Exodus' LAN and WAN) to other portions of the Internet because Exodus
failed to provide the Internet Data Center Services for more than fifteen (15)
consecutive minutes, Exodus will credit Customer's account the pro-rata
connectivity charges (i.e., all bandwidth related charges) for one (1) day of
service, up to an aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7)
days of service in any one (1) calendar month. Exodus' scheduled maintenance of
the Internet Data Centers and Internet Data Center Services, as described in the
Rules and Regulations, shall not be deemed to be a failure of Exodus to provide
Internet Data Center Services. For purposes of the foregoing, "unable to
transmit and receive" shall mean sustained packet loss in excess of 50% based on
Exodus' measurements.
(ii) Packet Loss and Latency. Exodus does not proactively monitor
the packet loss or transmission latency of specific customers. Exodus does,
however, proactively monitor the aggregate packet loss and transmission latency
within its LAN and WAN. In the event that Exodus discovers (either from its own
efforts or after being notified by Customer) that Customer is experiencing
packet loss in excess of one percent (1%) ("Excess Packet Loss") or transmission
latency in excess of 120 milliseconds round trip time (based on Exodus'
measurements) between any two Internet Data Centers within Exodus' U.S. network
(collectively, "Excess Latency", and with Excess Packet Loss "Excess Packet
Loss/Latency"), and Customer notifies Exodus or confirms that Exodus has
notified Customer), Exodus will take all actions necessary to determine the
source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency.
(A) Time to Discover Source of Excess Packet Loss/Latency:
Notification of Customer. Within two (2) hours of discovering the existence of
Excess Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine whether the source of the
Excess Packet Loss/Latency is limited to the Customer Equipment and the Exodus
equipment connecting the Customer Equipment to Exodus' LAN ("Customer Specific
Packet Loss/Latency"). If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is not a Customer
Specific Packet Loss/Latency, Exodus will determine the source of the Excess
Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours after determining that it is not a
Customer Specific Packet Loss/Latency. In any event, Exodus will notify Customer
of the source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within sixty (60) minutes after
identifying the source.
(B) Remedy of Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet
Loss/Latency [ILLEGIBLE] is within the sole control of Exodus, Exodus will
remedy the Excess Packet Loss/Latency within two (2) hours of determining the
source of the Excess Packet Loss/Latency. If the Excess Packet Loss/Latency is
caused from outside of the Exodus LAN or WAN, Exodus will notify Customer and
will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the party(ies) responsible
for the source and cooperate with it(them) to resolve the problem as soon as
possible.
(C) Failure to Determine Source and/or Resolve Problem. In the
event that Exodus is unable to determine the source of and remedy the Excess
Packet Loss/Latency within the time periods described above (where Exodus was
solely in control of the source), Exodus will credit Customer's account the
pro-rata connectivity charges for one (1) day of service for every two (2) hours
after the time periods described above that it takes Exodus to resolve the
problem, up to an aggregate maximum credit of connectivity charges for seven (7)
days of service in any one (1) month.
(iii) Customer Must Request Credit: To receive any of the credits
described in this section 5.2(a), Customer must notify Exodus within three (3)
business days from the time Customer becomes eligible to receive a credit.
Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer's right to receive
a credit.
(iv) Remedies Shall Not Be Cumulative: Maximum Credit. In the event
that Customer is entitled to multiple credits hereunder [ILLEGIBLE] the same
event, such credits shall not be cumulative and Customer shall be entitled to
receive only the maximum single credit available for such event. In no event
will Exodus be required to credit Customer in any one (1) calendar month
connectivity charges in excess of seven (7) days of service. A credit shall be
applied only in the month in which there was the incident that resulted in the
credit. Customer shall not be eligible to receive any credit for periods in
which Customer received any Internet Data Center Services free of charge.
(v) Termination Option for Chronic Problems: If, in any single
calendar month, Customer would be able to receive credits totaling fifteen (15)
or more days (but for the [ILLEGIBLE] in paragraph (iv) above) resulting from
three (3) or more events during such calendar month or, if any single event
entitling customer to credits under paragraph 5.2(a)(i) exists for a period of
eight (8) consecutive hours, then Customer may terminate this Agreement for
cause and without penalty by notifying Exodus within five (5) days following the
end of such calendar month. Such termination will be effective thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice by Exodus.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES THAT EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDE THIS WARRANTY (AS DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIFICATION [ILLEGIBLE] FOR SUCH
PRODUCTS). THIS SECTION 5.2(a) STATES CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR
ANY FAILURE BY EXODUS TO PROVIDE INTERNET CENTER DATA SERVICES.
(b) No Other Warranty. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET OUT IN
SUBSECTION (a) ABOVE, THE INTERNET DATA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS"
BASIS, AND CUSTOMER'S USE OF THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES IS AT ITS OWN
RISK. EXODUS DOES NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS
AND/OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT AND TITLE,
AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICES.
EXODUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE INTERNET DATA CENTER SERVICES WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.
(C) Disclaimer of Actions Caused by and/or Under the Control of Third
Parties. EXODUS DOES NOT AND CANNOT CONTROL THE FLOW OF DATA TO OR FROM EXODUS'
INTERNET DATA CENTERS AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE INTERNET. SUCH FLOW DEPENDS IN
LARGE PART ON THE PERFORMANCE OF INTERNET SERVICES PROVIDED OR CONTROLLED BY
THIRD PARTIES. AT TIMES, ACTIONS OR INACTIONS CAUSED BY THESE THIRD PARTIES CAN
PRODUCE SITUATIONS IN WHICH EXODUS' CUSTOMERS' CONNECTIONS TO THE INTERNET (OR
PORTIONS THEREOF) MAY BE IMPAIRED OR DISRUPTED. ALTHOUGH EXODUS WILL USE
COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO TAKE ACTIONS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE TO REMEDY
AND AVOID SUCH EVENTS, EXODUS CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL NOT OCCUR.
ACCORDINGLY, EXODUS DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO
SUCH EVENTS.
6. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
6.1 Personal Injury. EACH REPRESENTATIVE AND ANY OTHER PERSONS VISITING
THE INTERNET DATA CENTERS DOES SO AT ITS OWN RISK AND EXODUS ASSUMES NO

CUSTOMERS. EXODUS ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO, OR LOSS OF, ANY
CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT RESULTING FROM ANY CAUSE OTHER THAN EXODUS' GROSS NEGLIGENCE

OF, THE CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT FOR ANY REASON, SUCH LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED SOLELY
TO THE THEN-CURRENT VALUE OF THE CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT.
