THIS HOSTED SERVICES AGREEMENT (THE “Agreement”) is entered by and between the parties indicated in an Order therefore. Upon execution of an Order, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on the parties.
The definition of “Agreement” as used herein shall be deemed to include the terms of any Order Form executed by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement (“Order”) as well as any amendments thereto. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall control in the event that there are different or additional terms set forth in any other purchase order or acceptance form submitted by Customer. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the body of this Agreement and the terms of any Order, the terms of any Order shall govern.
1.1 Customer is a licensee of the TerraGo Edge product (“Product”) and has agreed to the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement therefor. Customer agrees to purchase hosting services for the Product offered by TerraGo to Customer and described in any Order which is attached hereto and/or specifically references or incorporates by reference the terms of this Agreement (the “Service(s)”).
1.2 Customer may initiate a request for Services from time to time during the Term of this Agreement by executing an Order which will only be effective when accepted and countersigned by TerraGo and which will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1.3 Customer is responsible and liable for all activities that occur under Customer’s account, including all payments owed for any Order, regardless of whether such activities are conducted by Customer or a sublicensee or any other third party.
2.1 Invoicing for Services shall commence immediately upon the commencement of the provision of the specified Services. Customer agrees to pay the fees for the Services listed in the applicable Order (“Fees”) for the complete duration of the applicable Term stated in said Order. Fees shall be invoiced together with any applicable Taxes (as defined herein below) in advance at the beginning of each month during which the Services are to be provided.
2.2 Fees and all applicable Taxes shall be paid to TerraGo in US Dollars at its address first above written or at such other place as TerraGo may designate in writing. Payments are due net thirty (30) days from the date of TerraGo’s invoice. TerraGo may suspend performance or provision of the Services or terminate this Agreement for any late or nonpayment of Fees and Customer shall be fully liable for any attorneys or collection agency fees incurred by TerraGo in connection with any collection efforts initiated by TerraGo. If Customer is delinquent in its payments, TerraGo may, upon written notice to Customer, modify the payment terms to require full payment before the further provision of any Services or require other assurances to secure Customer’s payment obligations hereunder. Customer shall furnish financial information to TerraGo as TerraGo may, from time to time, reasonably request to maintain Customer’s credit status and such information shall be deemed Confidential Information as defined herein.

If Customer is required to make any deduction or withholding or to make any payment, on account of any Taxes in any jurisdiction, in respect of any amounts payable hereunder by Customer to TerraGo hereunder, such amounts will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that after the making of such deduction, withholding or payment, TerraGo receives when due and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) an amount equal to the full value of all amounts invoiced by TerraGo for the Services.
2.4 If Customer’s Service is disconnected due to nonpayment or late payment by Customer, Customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred by TerraGo resulting from such disconnection. Additionally, if Customer requests the restoration of the Services, Customer shall be responsible for an additional fee for such restoration.
