9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

Customer shall not use the Services in a manner that infringes on or misappropriates the rights of a third party in any work protected by copyright, trade or service mark, invention, or other intellectual property or proprietary information. For example:

9.1. Customer shall not use the Services to download, publish, torrent, distribute, use, or otherwise copy in any manner any text, music, software, art, image, or other work protected by copyright law unless Customer has permission from the owner of the work to use or copy the work in that manner, or Customer is otherwise permitted by established intellectual property law to copy or use the work or rights in that manner;

10. COOPERATION WITH INVESTIGATIONS AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

If FastServers .IT is legally required to permit any relevant authority to inspect Customer’s content or traffic, Customer agrees FastServers .IT can do so; provided however that, where possible without breaching any legal or regulatory requirement, FastServers .IT gives Customer reasonable prior notice of such requirement.

FastServers .IT shall, without notice to Customer, report to the appropriate authorities any conduct by Customer that FastServers .IT believes violates applicable law, and provide any information we have about Customer, or Customer’s users or Customer’s traffic and cooperate in response to a formal request from a law enforcement or regulatory agency investigating any such activity, or in response to a formal request in a civil action that on its face meets the requirements for such a request.

11. EXCESSIVE USE OF SHARED SYSTEM RESOURCES

Customer shall not use any shared system provided by FastServers .IT in a way that unnecessarily interferes with the normal operation of the shared system, or that consumes a disproportionate share of the resources of the system. For example, FastServers .IT shall require Customer to repair coding abnormalities in Customer’s Cloud-hosted code if it unnecessarily conflicts with other Cloud customers’ use of the Cloud. Customer agrees that FastServers .IT may quarantine or delete any data stored on a shared system if the data is infected with a virus, or is otherwise corrupted, and has the potential to infect or corrupt the system or other customers' data that is stored on the same system.

12. THIRD PARTY CONDUCT

Customer is responsible for violations of the AUP by anyone using the Services with Customer permission or on an unauthorized basis as a result of Customer’s failure to use reasonable security precautions. Customer’s use of the Services to assist another person in an activity that would violate this AUP if performed by Customer is a violation of the AUP.

Customer shall use reasonable efforts to secure any device or network within Customer’s control against being used in breach of the applicable laws against spam and unsolicited email, including where appropriate by the installation of antivirus software, firewall software, and operating system and application software patches and updates. FastServers .IT’s right to suspend or terminate the Service applies even if a breach is committed unintentionally or without Customer authorization, including through a Trojan horse or virus.

13. OTHER

Customer agrees that if Customer registers a DNS record or zone on FastServers .IT managed or operated DNS servers or services for a domain of which Customer is not the registrant or administrative contact according to the registrars WHOIS system, that, upon request from the registrant or administrative contact according to the registrars WHOIS system, FastServers .IT may modify, transfer, or delete such records or zones.

13.4. Customer shall not register to use any Services under a false name, or use an invalid or unauthorized credit card in connection with any Services.

14. CHANGES TO THE AUP . The Internet is still evolving, and the ways in which the Internet may be abused are also still evolving. Therefore, FastServers .IT may from time to time amend this AUP to further detail or describe reasonable restrictions on Customer’s use of the Services by publishing a revised version of the AUP at AUP or in the event of a material adverse change to the AUP, by providing Customer 30 days written notice.

The revised AUP shall become effective as to Customer on the first to occur of: (i) Customer’s execution of a new or additional agreement for all or part of the Hosted System that incorporates the revised AUP by reference; (ii) the first day of a renewal term for an Agreement that begins at least 30 days after the time that the revise d AUP has been posted; or (iii) 30 days following FastServers .IT’s written notice to Customer of a material change to the AUP.

If Customer’s compliance with the revised AUP would adversely affect Customer’s use of the Hosting Services, Customer may elect to terminate the Agreement by giving FastServers .IT written notice of Customer’s objection no later than 30 days following the date that the revised AUP would otherwise have become effective as to Customer. FastServers .IT shall not charge an early termination fee for a termination on these grounds. If Customer elects to terminate, Customer may continue using the Services for up to an additional 90 days and FastServers .IT shall not enforce the revision as to Customer during this time, Customer shall continue to be subject to the prior version. If Customer chooses to terminate the Services under this Section 14, FastServers .IT may decide to waive that change as to Customer and keep the Agreement in place for the remainder of the term.

15. CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATION OF AUP

If Customer breaches the AUP, FastServers .IT may suspend or terminate the Services in accordance with the Agreement. FastServers .IT may intercept or block any content or traffic belonging to Customer or to users where Services are being used unlawfully or not in accordance with the AUP.
