Revised 09/18/2019

MSA-1.

Dataprise provides one or several remote management services or managed cloud services ("Managed Services") to you ("You" or "Customer") owned and/or operated by Dataprise ("Dataprise" or the "Company") or its affiliates under the terms and conditions of this Dataprise Managed Services Agreement and any amendments thereto and any operating rules or policies (the "Managed Services Agreement", "Managed Cloud Services Agreement" or "MSA"). Dataprise reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove all or part of this MSA at any time. Customer will receive notice of such changes and/or modifications pursuant to Section MSA-15 regarding notices and MSA-16 changes. Note that the Dataprise MSA may be incorporated by reference into an existing and separate technology support services agreement and is intended to supplement any such agreement relating to the content as described herein. Further, in the event that an individual Managed Service includes software that is installed or located on Your local desktop or server equipment, any such locally installed software shall be governed by a Dataprise End User License Agreement (EULA) for such locally installed desktop or server software which is included by reference to this MSA and can be located here.

MSA-2. Service Description

Dataprise provides remote managed services including, but not limited to: Managed Workstation Service, Web URL Filtering, Remote Data Backup, Remote Network Monitoring, Internet Domain Management, Anti-SPAM Service and other hosting or cloud-based services (individually a "Managed Service" and collectively the "Managed Services"). Individual Managed Service descriptions are described in the tasks under the "Goods and Services" section of the accompanying Dataprise Purchase Agreement.

MSA-3. Term and Pricing

The monthly fee for the Managed Service provided is specified under "Prices" of the accompanying Dataprise Purchase Agreement and which is due and payable for the term selected by the Customer. The contract period commences on the date that the Customer is notified that the Managed Service is fully operational and that access is made available to a Managed Service by Dataprise to Customer. The initial term shall correspond to and be coterminous with the term of any Support Services if provided in the accompanying Purchase Agreement. The initial term shall automatically renew for successive one month periods at renewal rates applicable at the time, unless notice of non-renewal is provided in accordance with Section MSA-4 below; provided, however, that to qualify for each renewal Customer must at the time of renewal be in substantial compliance with the material terms and conditions of the MSA and accompanying Purchase Agreement. Dataprise shall have the right, but not the obligation, to review any Managed Services Customer for compliance with the MSA and accompanying Purchase Agreement as part of the renewal process or at any time.

MSA-4. Non-Renewal

Either party, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of non-renewal with or without cause and without stating any reason therefore. Any notice of non-renewal must be given at least (30) days prior to the end of the term then in effect and in the manner described in Section MSA-15 regarding notices. If Customer chooses to terminate service before the end of the initial term, Customer agrees to make the monthly payments under "Payment" of the accompanying Dataprise Purchase Agreement for the remainder of the initial term.

MSA-5. Termination

Subject to the license grant hereunder, all right, title and interest in and to the Product, the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the Product are owned by Dataprise and/or its licensors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dataprise reserves the right to suspend with seventy-two (72) hours notice to Customer the operation or access to any and all Managed Services until such material breach or noncompliance is cured. This Termination provision of the MSA is in addition to and separate from any termination provision for Support Services if provided in accompanying Dataprise Purchase Agreement.

MSA-6. Termination for Illegal or Other Activity

Notwithstanding any other termination or notice provision in this MSA, Dataprise may, but shall have no duty to, immediately terminate Customer and suspend one or all provided Managed Services if Dataprise in its sole discretion concludes that Customer is engaged in illegal activities or the sale of illegal or harmful goods or services, or is engaged in activities or sales that may damage the rights of Dataprise or others.
