Limitations on Email Services

Filtering

Company provides certain services designed to filter unwanted incoming email, such as spam, phishing scams, and email infected with viruses and designed to filter outgoing email, such as email containing certain Personal Data (the “Filtering System”). Client acknowledges that the technological limitations of such filtering services will likely result in the capture of some legitimate email, and the failure to capture some unwanted email, including email infected with viruses or containing Sensitive Data. Email that is quarantined by the Filtering System is excluded from the service level provisions of section 10 below.

Delivery Failures

Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Client’s email messages. Third party filtering services may from time to time prevent successful delivery of Client’s messages.

Client hereby releases Company and its employees, agents, suppliers, and affiliates from any liability or damages arising from the failure of the Filtering System to capture unwanted email or from the capture of legitimate email; or from a failure of Client email to reach its intended recipient as a result of a filtering service used by the recipient or the recipient’s email service provider.

Client hereby acknowledges that Company is not responsible for any loss of data or any other liability or damages from use of third-party software to access or manage the email services.

Memory Limitations

Mail that exceeds the storage limit when received may be permanently lost. Client may adjust the storage capacity of Client’s individual mailboxes via the control panel, and it is Client’s obligation to monitor and adjust the storage capacity of individual mailboxes as needed. Enabling features of the email service designed to prevent deletion of emails may cause Client to consume increased storage capacity, may cause additional storage fees to be incurred, and may fail if Client does not have adequate storage capacity. An individual email message that exceeds the per-message size limit of 50MB (including attachments) may also be permanently lost.

Email Sending and Receiving Limits

Client acknowledges that the email services are not designed for sending and receiving a high volume of email messages. Company may limit the number of email messages that a Client may send and receive and the number of recipients per email message sent over a given time period, as determined by Company in its reasonable discretion. Company reserves the right to make changes to such limits at any time without prior notice to Client. Attempts to circumvent these limits by using multiple accounts or by other means shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement.

Unsolicited Mail

Client may not send email to anyone with whom Client does not have a pre-existing relationship unless the recipient has published or otherwise provided his or her email address in a manner which implies consent to receive email.

System Abuse

Client may not use the email services in a way that creates technical disturbances for other Company Clients or for the Company systems generally.

No Shared Mailboxes

Each mailbox may be used by one natural person at a time. Attempts to log into a single mailbox simultaneously from more than one computer are prohibited. Client may not use automated tools such as “Fetchmail” or “Microsoft Exchange Connector” to virtualize one mailbox into multiple mailboxes.

Automated Use

Mailboxes are not designed for automated use, such as sending email from web servers, or receiving email from automated programs and such use is not supported.

Service Level

To the maximum extent applicable under national law and without affecting Client’s rights as a Consumer, this provision governs Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for downtime, or any network, software, hardware or Equipment failure.

Company guarantees network uptime 99.9% on an annual base. If the guaranteed network uptime does not reach this level, Client will be compensated as follows:

  • 99.9% – 99.00% uptime: 1 month of free hosting.
  • An additional month of free hosting for every 1% of uptime lost below 99.00%.

Client may check the status of Client’s hosting server uptime from Client’s User Portal. Client may contact Company’s customer service team if Client believe an SLA event has occurred. Compensation is limited to the length of Client’s current Term, but cannot exceed twelve months.

The following events do not count towards Company’s calculation of uptime:

  • Scheduled Maintenance, meaning any maintenance for which we provide reasonable notice or coordination with Client in advance of the maintenance;
  • Emergency Maintenance, meaning any maintenance performed outside the Scheduled Maintenance windows without advance notice where such maintenance is reasonably and urgently required to protect the integrity, availability, or security of any online systems;
  • Beta Services, meaning any services which are clearly and conspicuously designated by Company as Beta Services or as in early stages of testing or development;
  • Force Majeure, meaning all events beyond Company’s control as more particularly described in Company’s online General Terms and Conditions; and
  • Actions or Omissions caused by Client, including any unauthorized use of the Services, breach of the Agreement or Acceptable Use Policy, or any use or configuration of the Services that exceeds Company’s recommendations or advertised limits.

Company’s calculation of network availability is based on Company’s internal records. Company will not accept third-party reports as evidence that Client is entitled to compensation under this provision.

Additional Services

If Client registers, renews or transfers a domain name through Company, Company will submit the request to its domain name services provider (the “Registrar”) on Client’s behalf. Company’s sole responsibility is to submit the request to the Registrar. Company is not responsible for any errors, omissions or failures of the Registrar. Client’s use of domain name services is subject to the applicable legal terms of the Registrar. Client is responsible for closing any account with any prior reseller of or registrar for the requested domain name, and Client is responsible for responding to any inquiries sent to Client by the Registrar.

Migration Services

At Client’s request, Company shall provide an advance estimate of fees based on the information Client provides to Company. Client acknowledges that Company’s fee shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of mailboxes and amount of data migrated and may exceed the estimate. Client acknowledges that after Company begins the migration services, Company may discover technical limitations related to the configuration of Client’s data that prevent Company from successfully completing the migration. Company shall not charge Client a fee if Company is unable to successfully migrate Client’s data. Client acknowledges that there is a special risk that data will be lost during a migration. Client agrees that Client shall create a reliable back up of all data to be migrated prior to the time that Company begins the migration.

User Service Agreement

THIS USER SERVICES AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into between Pavlov Media Inc., a Delaware Corporation, with offices at 125 West Church Street, Champaign, Illinois 61820 (“Pavlov Media”), and the individual user (“User”) as of the date indicated by your acceptance of these terms for Pavlov Media to provide certain Internet Access Services (services, equipment, and/or software; hereinafter referred to as “IAS”, and defined below in Section 1.4) to the User’s residential unit (the “Unit”; described below). User’s Unit is part of a larger real estate development (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”) and User understands Pavlov Media is under contract to owner of Property for certain terms and conditions associated with providing the IAS. For the purposes of this Agreement, User’s Unit is defined by the same language and terms contained in User’s lease with the Property including but not limited to a single bed in a student housing property to a multiple-bedroom apartment or condominium. Any references in this Agreement to “computer” or “PC” or “network device” are to be understood to include any model of desktop computer, laptop computer, handheld computing device, game console, router, or any other device capable of accessing or connecting to the Local Area Network (LAN).

The IAS are provided to User under the following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”):

Section 1. Services Provided

1.1 Use of IAS. Subject to the compliance by User with all Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, and in exchange for the payment of subscription fees where applicable promptly when due, Pavlov Media will provide IAS to User. IAS includes only those features described in Section 1.4 and as described in Property-specific marketing materials available at the time of enrollment. No other special services are implied or included unless specified in writing by Pavlov Media during the time of enrollment as part of User’s Property-specific service plan (the “Service Plan”). User may subscribe for IAS from Pavlov Media only during the period of their lease at the Property. Pavlov Media reserves the right to, and User understands Pavlov Media will, permanently delete, and/or make inactive, any and all IAS account information, email, contacts, documents, and/or any data stored or used by User associated with IAS within 24 hours of the termination of User’s lease with Property (annually in student housing properties), or termination of IAS by User or Pavlov Media, in accordance with Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(c), respectively. Additionally, once a User’s IAS account has been terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, Pavlov Media may immediately make available for future use to other Users the Username and Pavlov Media email address(s) previously used by User.

1.2 Use of Pavlov Media Email. If User’s Service Plan includes Pavlov Media email, User shall have the right to store up to and including ten Megabytes (10MB) of email data, per Pavlov Media email address, on the Pavlov Media server(s) (“Free Storage Amount”). The Free Storage Amount is allocated per email address and is not cumulative. User can purchase a maximum of four (4) additional email addresses per IAS account (i.e., maximum total of five (5) email addresses per User; one (1) email address with initial enrollment plus four (4) additional email addresses). User can also purchase additional storage space for each email address in 10MB increments, up to a maximum of 40 additional MB per email account (i.e., maximum of 50MB total; 10MB with initial email address plus four 10MB increments per email address).

1.3 Technical and Administrative Support. During the term of this Agreement Pavlov Media shall provide technical and administrative support via telephone to User during the hours indicated at www.pavlovmedia.com. Pavlov Media reserves the right to adjust and/ or reduce these hours at its sole discretion at any time without prior notice to User. The technical support telephone number is 1-888-472-8568. The technical support provided by Pavlov Media applies strictly and specifically to the products and services provided by Pavlov Media (i.e., the IAS). Pavlov Media is not responsible for the functionality of the User’s PC or the building infrastructure, including, but not limited to, wiring, wall plates, and patch panels that were installed and/or maintained by building owner, and will not provide technical support related solely to User’s PC. Furthermore, User agrees to treat Pavlov Media support personnel with normal courtesy and respect in all interactions and acknowledges that repeated episodes (i.e., more than one) of disrespectful, abusive, argumentative, disruptive or similar behaviors directed towards Pavlov Media support personnel, in the sole discretion and judgment of Pavlov Media, will result in the termination of support services to User. Under these circumstances, if Pavlov Media restricts or terminates support services to User, User acknowledges and agrees that no credits, refunds, or discounts will be provided to User as a result of these actions and all other Terms and Conditions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect.

1.4 Scope of IAS. The term “IAS” as used throughout this Agreement shall include all services and equipment provided by or through Pavlov Media, and as associated to User’s Property-specific Service Plan. Examples of these services (although not necessarily available at all Properties) include Internet access, separately hosted Web space, Pavlov Media email addresses and storage, and technical support. Special services or features, including but not limited to, use of “peer-to-peer” filing sharing services, virtual private networks (VPNs), capability to FTP or game to sites on the Internet, capability to connect in an exclusive manner to other users on the network (i.e., virtual LAN, or VLAN), or obtain additional bandwidth allocation may be available, but are not included in the IAS unless specifically stated in this Agreement or specified in writing as part of the User’s Service Plan during enrollment. IAS are subject to change over time and are only guaranteed to remain unchanged for the current Term (“Term” defined in Section 4.1(a)), or for the duration of a defined period if User has selected an IAS Service Plan that includes a minimum period of enrollment. User acknowledges and agrees that Pavlov Media may change this Agreement, any and all conditions, product names and/or prices, and product offerings of a given Service Plan upon 10 days notification and announcement at the Property. Pavlov Media has no obligation to monitor the LAN. However, User agrees and acknowledges that Pavlov Media, its affiliates, or its contractors, has the right to monitor the LAN electronically and to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or other governmental request, to operate its services properly, or to protect itself or its residents

1.5 Limitation of IAS. With respect to any software and documentation provided under this Agreement, such software and documentation are provided to User for use only (I) with the IAS offered by Pavlov Media in conjunction with the distribution of such software and documentation and (ii) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. No right or license is granted to use the software or documentation with any other Internet access or other network service. User expressly acknowledges that Pavlov Media reserves and shall have the right to discontinue any and all IAS to User at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any conduct which Pavlov Media, in its sole discretion, determines to violate the Agreement or is otherwise harmful to Pavlov Media’s interests or the interest of others. IAS are furnished for User use only and not for resale or commercial purposes.

Section 2. User’s Obligations

2.1 User definition. A User is defined as any resident, agent, or third-party that accesses the network at the site. By accessing the network, User agrees to be bound by the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement. User agrees to provide Pavlov Media with accurate and valid identification and contact information during initial registration for the IAS and to take reasonable measures to keep Pavlov Media informed of any changes to these data.

2.2 Software and Hardware. User shall, at his/her sole cost and expense, procure and maintain the hardware, software, and cabling and ancillary components for User’s PC (or PCs) and related equipment (“User’s PCs”) so that User’s PCs are compatible with the Local Area Network (the “LAN”), which Pavlov Media operates, and so that User’s PCs are compatible with the IAS. In addition, User shall be solely responsible for maintaining the security of the User’s PC(s), security settings and tools, username, password, files, network and user access, and any information User might disseminate through Pavlov Media’s IAS or other Internet services, and for all use of IAS by User, with or without User’s knowledge or consent. User recognizes and agrees that Pavlov Media, and Pavlov Media’s representatives, will not troubleshoot or install software or hardware applications on User’s PC. User further acknowledges that the use of a PC on a LAN or to access the Internet carries inherent and fundamental risks, including but not limited to unintentional file-sharing and/or, access to User’s personal and financial information stored on the User’s PC, or exposure to offensive, unedited, violent, or sexually-explicit materials. User acknowledges and agrees that it is the sole responsibility of the User to manage these risks and Pavlov Media has no responsibility to manage these risks on User’s behalf as part of the IAS. User also acknowledges that any confidential information transmitted or made available to others via the IAS is strictly the responsibility of the User. User shall install, operate, and frequently update, anti-virus software and critical Operating System updates on User’s PC. If, for any reason, as a result of disruption by the User’s PC on the LAN Pavlov Media’s ability to provide the IAS to User or others at the Property is adversely affected, User may be immediately disconnected from the IAS until such time as User demonstrates to Pavlov Media’s satisfaction that User’s PC will no longer provide a disruption. This may include requiring proof that User’s PC is free of viruses or other detrimental elements.

2.3 Use and Conduct. User agrees to use the IAS in strict compliance with the Terms and Conditions set forth in this Agreement. User acknowledges that failure to comply strictly with the Terms and Conditions shall give rise to the right of Pavlov Media to unilaterally suspend or terminate User’s connection with the IAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 below. In addition, User expressly consents to Pavlov Media’s right to download Web sites (property-specific or otherwise) onto User’s PC’s in utilization of the IAS.

2.4 User Representations and Warranties. User represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that he/she will not engage in any of the types of conduct listed below, or allow any content on User’s PC (“Content”; as described below) to be used in violation of the following types of conduct, in conjunction with the utilization of the IAS. Content shall include information made available, displayed or transmitted in connection with Pavlov Media or the IAS, including all trademarks, service marks and domain names contained therein, as well as the contents of any bulletin boards or chat forms, and, all updates, upgrades, modifications, and other versions of the foregoing. Violations of the following may result in termination or suspension of the IAS in accordance with Section 4.1(c) below:

Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with the right of Pavlov Media to retain independent counsel with respect to any such claims or proceedings, at the sole expense of Pavlov Media, and in said event, the obligations of User shall not be amended or changed thereby, but shall continue as herein above provided.

Section 3. Payment of Costs and Fees

3.1 Payment of fees. User acknowledges and understands that Pavlov Media will charge various fees to User’s credit card (when applicable) in accordance with the IAS (i.e., Service Plans) selected by User, and it is User’s responsibility to monitor those charges as being consistent with the IAS services they have selected. Pavlov Media expects, and User agrees, that User will review each monthly charge for accuracy and failure to review those charges or statements by User in a timely manner does not constitute a basis for refunds or credits after the fact. Charges to User’s credit card dated 65 days or older (from date of contact to Pavlov Media) will not be considered by Pavlov Media for refunds or credits.

User agrees to allow Pavlov Media to charge User’s credit card the following amounts:

  • (a) Set-Up or Installation Fees. User shall pay the costs for the set-up of User’s IAS as shown on the online registration and information pages (i.e., Service Plans) for each of User’s PCs. User acknowledges that this fee is non-refundable under any circumstances;
  • (b) Subscription Fees. User shall pay for its use of the IAS pursuant to the schedule of fees shown on the online registration pages and property-specific marketing materials at the time of enrollment. Subscription fees shall not be modified during the Term (“Term” is defined in Section 4.1(a) below). IAS subscription fees for User who is on a one-month renewable Term may be changed, upon thirty (30) days advance notice to User. See Section 4.1(a) below for termination rights upon such event;
  • (c) Re-connection Fees. In the event that User’s IAS is suspended or terminated by Pavlov Media for violations of this Agreement (Section 4.1), and once the cause of the suspension or termination has been fully resolved to bring User back into full compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement, if User should desire to reinstate IAS, User shall be required to pay a re-connection fee. This fee will be no less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per event, and is subject to change at the sole discretion of Pavlov Media. Additionally, if User requires assistance from Pavlov Media to resolve issues, User will be required to reimburse Pavlov Media for time spent resolving the issue in accordance with Section 3.1(j). Suspension or termination of the IAS does not eliminate or reduce the obligation of User to pay all sums due hereunder that were incurred as part of User’s usage of the IAS or Pavlov Media’s efforts to collect fees as part of the IAS;
  • (d) Network Outages. The IAS is provided using the public Internet domain, and wiring and infrastructure built and maintained by Property owner. Therefore, the IAS cannot be solely controlled by Pavlov Media. Outages in service should be expected and are considered unavoidable. Individual, continuous service disruptions of seven (7) days or less will not be subject credit from Pavlov Media to User. Outages exceeding seven (7) days may be credited to User on a prorated basis per day for each full day of outage beyond the first seven (7) days. Any credits issued will correspond directly to the charges from Pavlov Media directly to User for the current month. Credits will not be issued to User at any time, or under any circumstances, for IAS services not paid for directly by User to Pavlov Media, including, but not limited to, all property provisioned service plans;
  • (e) Creation of additional accounts. User shall pay for all IAS accounts, and partial services, created by or enrolled in by the User. If a User creates additional IAS account(s) or enrolls in additional services to their primary IAS, on purpose or by accident, Pavlov Media reserves the right to invoice the User and collect payment for these additional accounts and services in accordance with the fees set-forth in their Service Plan. User’s IAS (both primary account and all subsequent accounts) may be suspended or terminated in accordance with Section 4.0 until all fees and costs associated with User’s additional accounts are paid to Pavlov Media in full;
  • (f) Failure to promptly return Pavlov Media Equipment. User shall pay Pavlov Media for Pavlov Media-supplied equipment that is not returned promptly following termination of service in accordance with Section 4.1(b), including new equipment shipping and configuration costs, and any outstanding fees or other costs currently pending in User’s billing account with Pavlov Media;
  • (g) Credit or Charge Card Decline Fees, Bad Check Fees, or Collection Fees. In the event that User’s credit or charge card is declined or cannot be charged for fees as described in this Agreement, for any reason, Pavlov Media may promptly suspend or terminate IAS to User and User agrees to pay Pavlov Media no less than a $10 Credit/Charge Card decline Fee, per event. In the event a check is returned to Pavlov Media for Insufficient Funds or any reason, Pavlov Media may promptly suspend or terminate IAS to User and User agrees to pay Pavlov Media no less than a $20 Bad Check Fee, per event. These fees will be deducted from User’s credit or charge card directly, or if not possible, billed directly to customer for payment by other means. In the event that Pavlov Media must enlist a Collection Agency or other means to collect monies owed to Pavlov Media, the User agrees to pay any fees associated with such collections;
  • (h) Trial Promotions. Should Pavlov Media offer discounted or free trial promotions, User is limited to one discounted or free trial per Unit. If more than one User lives in a given Unit as described in this Agreement, only one discounted or free trial promotion shall be provided to that Unit on a first come, first serve basis. If User enrolls for more than one discounted or free trail promotions per Unit, whether or not knowledgeable of the actions of other Users living in the same Unit, User will be considered in violation of this Agreement and Pavlov Media reserves the right to terminate or suspend IAS to User until Pavlov Media is fully compensated by User at the currently published fees for consumed services in excess of legitimate promotion;
  • (i) Credits and Refunds. Should a credit or refund be warranted for User, Pavlov Media will provide that credit or refund to User’s account within Pavlov Media’s billing system rather than directly to User’s credit card. The only exception to this will occur if User has terminated the IAS with Pavlov Media and closed their account. If credits or refunds are considered by Pavlov Media for User for any reason, those credits or refunds will be strictly limited to a maximum of the most recent (one) billing cycle and the prorated portion of the current billing cycle, or a maximum of 60 days, whichever is less; and,
  • (j) Technical Support time. User understands and agrees that Pavlov Media will charge up to ninety-five dollars ($95) per hour for technical support time related to resolving User issues, which the User cannot or will not resolve using their own means.

This hourly charge may increase at any time without prior warning to User at the sole discretion of Pavlov Media, and may charged independently and in conjunction with other charges set forth in this Agreement.

Section 4. Termination

4.1 Term and Termination for Breach

  • (a) The term of service (“Term”). The Term shall end 30 calendar days following the start date of the service. User is bound to a minimum number of Terms if specified on the online registration pages and/or the Property-specific Service Plan subscribed to by User. Unless cancelled in accordance with Section 4.1(b) below, the original Term shall be continually renewed for additional 30-day terms in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.
  • (b) Termination by User. If User chooses to terminate subscription to the IAS, User must submit to Pavlov Media notice of cancellation of IAS at least ten (10) days prior to the end of a Term (including initial or subsequent Terms, and all promotional or trial offer Terms). If User is bound to a minimum number of Terms by their Service Plan, User must notify Pavlov Media ten (10) days prior to the Anniversary Date of the current Term.

Actual IAS usage will be terminated by Pavlov Media on User’s monthly Anniversary Date, prior to an additional billing cycle. Any Pavlov Media equipment and/or cables, must be returned to Pavlov Media within ten (10) days of IAS termination, or User shall pay an amount equal to that which is required by Pavlov Media to replace such items at the time of termination (including, but not limited to, purchase, shipping, configuration, and all labor associated with the replacement equipment), or $200, whichever is greater. User agrees that Pavlov Media shall deduct these fees directly from User’s credit card in accordance with Section 3.1.
  • (c) Termination by Pavlov Media. In the event that User violates the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement, Pavlov Media shall have the right to immediately terminate or suspend User’s access to the IAS without notice. Pavlov Media reserves the right to terminate or suspend any User (without notice) that Pavlov Media, at its sole discretion, determines to be an abuser to the IAS.

  • (d) Reconciliation of Accounts upon Termination. In the event that User’s use of the IAS is terminated for any reason, no refund of any fees or credits will be granted.

In such event, User shall have no right to be re-connected, except on terms acceptable to Pavlov Media in its sole discretion.

Section 5. Pavlov Media’s Liability

YOU MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE AND COUNTRY TO COUNTRY.

5.3 Exclusive Remedy. USER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY PAVLOV MEDIA, SHALL BE, AT PAVLOV MEDIA’S OPTION, EITHER (A) THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE IAS PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT MEET PAVLOV MEDIA’S LIMITED WARRANTY; OR (B) A REFUND OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES USER HAS PAID PAVLOV MEDIA UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OVER THE LAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS

5.4 Disclaimer of Consequential Damages.
