North Georgia Data Contract

NORTH GEORGIA DATA, LLC

Colocation HOSTING Agreement

This Colocation Hosting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into between North Georgia Data, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“NGD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the undersigned individual or entity (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”).

BACKGROUND

NGD provides hosting and management services to persons and entities that mine for cryptocurrencies from its colocation facility (the “Facility”).

Customer desires to obtain services from NGD on the terms contained in this Agreement.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT

NGD Services. The services NGD will provide to Customer include installing, configuring, hosting, and maintaining the cryptocurrency mining equipment you deliver to us (“Your Equipment”), monitoring the performance of Your Equipment (subject to Section 6 (Monitoring Performance of Your Equipment)), and providing the electricity, networking interconnectivity, cooling, and associated facilities and staffing necessary for Your Equipment to mine for cryptocurrency (collectively, the “Services”). At an additional cost (not included in the NGD’s standard pricing options for the Services), you may request virtual private network (VPN) services to be included in the Services.

Initiation. To begin obtaining the Services, you must submit to us an order form, which is available at northgeorgiadata.com/order (each, an “Order Form”), accept the terms of this Agreement, and deliver Your Equipment to us to install and configure. Prior to NGD providing the Services to you, you must pay for the first and last month of services agreed to on the order form. For example if a 12 month contract is selected, customer must pay for month 1 and month 12 up front. If a kWh billing option is selected, NGD will estimate the bill for month 1 and month 12 while all other months will be billed based on actual usage instead of estimates. If a flat fee bill is selected, the amount billed will remain constant during the term of the contract.

The Facility. This Agreement is not an agreement to rent space in the Facility. It is an agreement for NGD to provide the Services to Customer, which include NGD installing and hosting Your Equipment in the Facility. We retain the right to maintain and operate the Facility in any manner that will best enable us to operate our business. While Customers are not allowed general access to the Facility, NGD may agree, in its discretion, to give a tour of the Facility to Customers upon request.

Customer Information. When you complete the Order Form, you are required to provide us with information about you, including your name, physical address, billing address, email address, and phone number (“Customer Information”). We will rely on this Customer Information. It is your obligation to provide us with correct Customer Information and to ensure we always have the correct, updated information. You must also provide to us the identity of the mining pools (both default and failover options) in which you will participate, along with the associated usernames for all such pools. The individual or entity you designate as the customer in the Order Form is the owner of your account. If we receive knowledge that there is a dispute regarding ownership of an account to which you are associated, we may lock the account and prohibit transfer of the account until the dispute is resolved to NGD’s sole satisfaction.

Responsibility for Mining Decisions. You are undertaking cryptocurrency mining for your benefit and at your own risk. Customer is solely responsible for making all significant choices related to cryptocurrency mining, including the type and number of cryptocurrency miners to purchase, which cryptocurrencies to mine, whether to use one or more mining pools and, if so, which ones to use, when and to whom to sell any cryptocurrency, the sale of Customer miners, and whether or not to convert any mined cryptocurrency to another cryptocurrency or to fiat currency, and how to complete such conversion. If we require information from you to perform the Services (e.g., the identity of your mining pools and your associated usernames), you are responsible for communicating that information to us. We will not make decisions for you. If you ask for recommendations, we may communicate options or opinions to you, although you accept all responsibility for the decisions you make regarding your cryptocurrency mining. Customer acknowledges that some of your choices may be limited by NGD’s software, systems, and capacity to provide the Services, and other factors. If Customer is not happy with the options NGD offers to you, you should terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 19 (Term and Termination).

Monitoring Performance of Your Equipment. After NGD connects each miner in Your Equipment to the mining pool you select, NGD will generate a worker name for each of the miners we are managing for you. You are responsible for verifying (by using the worker names), that each of your miners is connected to the appropriate mining pool. NGD will monitor the performance of Your Equipment to the extent we are able to do so. However, we will never have access to your mining pool accounts and, consequently, we will have access to less data than you regarding the mining pool performance of Your Equipment. For this reason, Customer will always be primarily responsible for ensuring Your Equipment is performing to its specifications, including at the speed and power you expect.

Repairs, Maintenance, and Changes.

Support Requests. If you identify any of Your Equipment that is not performing to its specifications, you must submit a support ticket to us through the NGD Ticketing System at northgeorgiadata.com/support. During normal business hours, which are posted on our website at www.northgeorgiadata.com/contact, you may call our support line at 1-800-705-4536, or use the instant chat feature on our website.

Repairs and Maintenance. Routine maintenance services, such as replacing a fan in a miner or occasionally rebooting a miner, is included as part of the Base Fees. Non-routine maintenance and repair services, such as replacing the controller board on a miner, is not included in the Base Fees. NGD reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine if a certain type of repair or maintenance is routine and included in the Base Fees or if it is not. If repair or maintenance services are required for Your Equipment that are outside the scope of the routine services paid for through the Base Fees, Customer is responsible for communicating to NGD their decision regarding repairing or maintaining Your Equipment in such context. If we know any such repairs or maintenance work will void an existing warranty on Your Equipment, we will endeavor to inform you of that, although NGD bears no responsibility for ensuring its work or that of third-parties is in compliance with any warranty that applies to Your Equipment. Customer is always responsible for the cost of replacement parts.

Account Changes. If Customer desires to change the mining pool, Your Equipment, or anything that affects the Services, you may make such changes through the NGD Ticketing System. NGD reserves the right to charge Customer for more than three pool changes per month. Alternatively, Customer has the option to purchase access to a customer portal where Customer may make unlimited pool changes and also execute both soft and hard reboots. The cost of this access can be found on the order form and is charged as a flat fee per miner per month. Customer must request this access on the order form.

Other Customer Responsibilities.

Equipment Compatibility. It is your responsibility to ensure that Your Equipment is compatible with the Services, Facility, and our network without further assistance from us. If any aspect of Your Equipment is not compatible with the Services and you instruct NGD to make Your Equipment compatible and/or you ask NGD to install Your Equipment even though it is not compatible with the Services, you will be charged our hourly rate for such additional services.

Mined Cryptocurrency. NGD does not have the ability to access any cryptocurrency mined by Your Equipment. You are solely responsible for providing your digital currency wallet address directly to the mining pools in which you participate. You are solely responsible for maintaining and controlling your digital currency wallet(s).

Compliance with Laws. You must comply with all laws, regulations, and ordinances that apply to your cryptocurrency mining activities.

Taxes and Finances. Customer is responsible for all tax, accounting, and financial obligations that result from your cryptocurrency mining activities, including any applicable importation and exportation taxes for Your Equipment.

Communication. You are solely responsible for providing to us any information we require to provide the Services, including giving us instructions with respect to items of Your Equipment that are broken and need repairs or part replacements that are outside the scope of the routine maintenance services included in the Base Fees.

Account Credentials. Customer must safeguard its NGD account credentials. If you believe your NGD account credentials were compromised, let us know immediately. You must also safeguard your mining pool account credentials. If you believe any of such account credentials were compromised, inform the appropriate mining pool promptly. If any of your mining pool account credentials are unrecoverable, inform us immediately. YOU MUST NEVER PROVIDE ANY OF YOUR MINING POOL ACCOUNT PASSWORDS TO NGD, INCLUDING ANY OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, OR PERSON PURPORTING TO BE AN AGENT OF NGD. WE HAVE NO NEED FOR YOUR MINING POOL PASSWORDS AND DO NOT WANT TO EVER RECEIVE THEM.

Restricted Activities. You may not use Your Equipment or the Services to conduct any business or activity or solicit the performance of any activity for any illegal, fraudulent, unauthorized, or improper purposes. You may not engage in activity that may be reasonably interpreted to be malicious or harmful. You must comply with all applicable constitutions, laws, ordinances, principles of common law, codes, regulations, statutes or treaties and all applicable orders, rulings, instructions, requirements, directives or requests of any courts, regulators or other governmental authorities in connection with Your Equipment and your use of the Services. You will not attempt to: (a) access the Facility or the Services without consent from NGD, (b) access Your Equipment without notice to NGD, or (c) interfere in any manner with the provision of the Services or otherwise abuse the Services or NGD’s software. We reserve the right to prohibit uses that are not set out above if we have a reasonable belief that they will damage NGD, interfere with our ability to provide the Services, or interfere with the rights or expectations of other NGD customers.

NGD’s Representations and Warranties.

Our Representations and Warranties. We represent and warrant to Customer as of the date you accept this Agreement that we have the power, authority, and legal right to enter into this Agreement; and perform our obligations hereunder this Agreement.

GENERAL DISCLAIMERS. Other than the foregoing sentence, ngd makes no representations or warranties to customer, and any implied warranties are expressly disclaimed. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND CUSTOMER ACCEPTS THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK. In particular, NGD makeS no warranties whatsoever about GENERAL information WE PROVIDE ON OUR WEBSITE OR OTHERWISE. WE DO NOT MAKE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM, ALL OTHER EXPRESSED AND/OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET ANY OR ALL OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE. NO EMPLOYEE OR AGENT IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY WARRANTY ON OUR BEHALF.

MALWARE DISCLAIMER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, WHILE NGD USES COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE PRACTICES TO IDENTIFY, SCREEN, AND PREVENT THE INTRODUCTION OF, AND WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY INTRODUCE ANY, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, WORMS, SPYWARE, BACK DOORS, EMAIL BOMBS, MALICIOUS CODE, OR SIMILAR ITEMS (COLLECTIVELY, “MALWARE”) INTO OR THROUGH YOUR EQUIPMENT, NGD MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT MALWARE WILL NOT INFECT OR AFFECT YOUR EQUIPMENT AND NGD HAS NO LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF ANY MALWARE, INCLUDING LIABILITY BASED UPON A CLAIM OF NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER FAULT BUT EXCLUDING NGD’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT.

No Transfer of Intellectual Property Rights. This Agreement does not transfer to Customer any ownership or proprietary rights in any software, technology, work, processes, or other property or rights of NGD (or any part thereof), and all right, title, and interest in and to the foregoing will remain solely with NGD.

Service Levels.

Power Availability. Subject to Section 13(b), power will be available to Your Equipment 99.9% of the time (“Availability Target”). If NGD does not meet this power availability requirement for any month, NGD will provide Customer a discount to the Base Fees you owe for the following month. Such discount will be the percentage obtained by subtracting the actual power availability from the Availability Target. For example, if power is available to Your Equipment for 97.8% of the time in a given month, Customer is entitled to a 2% discount to its Base Fees for the following month (99.9% - 97.8% = 2.1%).

Exceptions to Power Availability. The Availability Target is reduced by any of the following: (i) scheduled routine maintenance, (ii) planned, periodic relocations of Your Equipment, (iii) an event covered by Section 28 (Force Majeure), (iv) an event we reasonably deem to be an emergency, (v) an issue with any software, data, hardware, or network outside NGD’s direct control, (vi) outages or disruptions caused by a third party outside NGD’s direct control, and (vii) any suspensions due to your late payment. We will not arbitrarily or capriciously relocate Your Equipment. However, we may relocate Your Equipment as necessary to accommodate changing operational needs in the Facility and such relocation will result in a reduction to the Availability Target under Section 13(b)(ii).

Environmental Temperature. NGD will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the supply inlet air temperature and the relative humidity in the Facility meet the operating specifications provided by the manufacturer(s) of Your Equipment.

Emergency. In an emergency, the Facility will take precedence over Your Equipment. NGD may remove or rearrange Your Equipment during an emergency without any liability to Customer or any individual or entity associated with Customer.

Security.

Facility and Equipment Security. NGD uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that access to the Facility and Your Equipment will be monitored and restricted at all time. If we determine that Your Equipment endangers the security of our network, any of our other customers or third parties or the Facility, you are required to cooperate with us in a security review. If we determine that Your Equipment has in fact compromised the security of such items, you will be charged for any security remediation. Your ability to use the Services may be suspended during this time. We agree to provide you with written notice if we determine that there has been unauthorized access to aspects of the Facility or Your Equipment that are fully within our control. This notice will be provided to you as soon as reasonably possible; however, mitigation of the security of our network and the Facility shall take priority over notification.

Account and Information Security. NGD uses two-factor authentication and encryption to the degree we deem advisable, and we take seriously our obligation to safeguard your personally-identifiable information (“PII”). However, NGD is not liable for any security breach that results in disclosure of your PII to third parties unless due to NGD’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Fees and Taxes.

Recurring Fees. The billing cycle and cost for the Services is set out in each Order Form you submit to us and is based on the number of months you commit to purchase Services. You are responsible for all fees for the Services (“Base Fees”).

Promotional Offers. From time to time NGD may extend promotional offers with terms that modify our standard terms, including by reducing the Base Fees and non-recurring charges. Special promotions typically apply to new customers only. If you terminate the Services with a special promotion, we will remove the discount or other benefit from the special promotion, which may result in additional fees, non-recurring charges, and associated taxes.

Non-recurring Charges. We may require that you pay certain non-recurring charges, such as delivery expenses, customs and exportation fees, repair fees (to NGD or third-party providers to which we send any damaged items of Your Equipment if you request us to repair such items), and changes to your account, including mining pools of excess of the number of changes per month allowed pursuant to Section 7(c) (Account Changes). Payment of any outstanding non-recurring charges is a condition precedent to our obligation to provide the Services to you.

Taxes. You are responsible for all taxes assessed by local, state/provincial, and/or federal, authorities regardless of your physical location. If these taxes are assessed on us, based on the Services we provide to you, and we are required to pay these taxes, they will be billed to you, in addition to a reasonable special handling and processing fee. You are not responsible for taxes based on our income.

No Refunds. Base Fees, non-recurring charges, and associated taxes are not refundable in whole or in part, nor are they subject to any satisfaction or performance guarantees.

Security Interest. You grant to NGD a security interest in your right, title, and interest, now existing and hereinafter arising, in all of Your Equipment and any other rights to payment arising out of this Agreement. This security interest secures the payment of your obligations under this Agreement, including any obligations to pay the Base Fees you owe to us hereunder and the payment and performance of all other liabilities and obligations of Customer to NGD of every kind and description, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and now existing or hereafter arising. You hereby appoint NGD as your attorney-in-fact to file such financing statements, amendments and any other instruments related to this Agreement without any requirement to obtain any other consent from you.

Payments.

Flat Fee Payments: For customers who have selected flat fee billing on the order form, Base Fees and associated taxes (if there are any) are invoiced monthly in advance prior to the first day of next billing cycle and due 7 calendar days after issuance. If the bill is not paid within 7 days your account will be marked delinquent. The billing cycle begins on the day Your Equipment is setup and connected in NGD’s facility. The billing cycle is 30 days or 720 hours in duration. Upon initiation, NGD collected the first and last month payment up front prior to deploying any equipment. The first month collected is applied to the first month charge associated with the customer account. The last month is held as security until the last month payment for the contract comes due after which the payment is applied to the customer’s account.

kWh (kilowatt hour) Payments: The kWh is a composite unit of energy equivalent to one kilowatt of power sustained for one hour. Customers who have selected kWh billing on the order form, will be billed each billing cycle based on the kWh measured by NGD. The first and last billing cycle of the contract will be billed as a flat rate based on estimated electricity usage, not actual kWh measurements by NGD. The flat fee estimated usage is calculated by obtaining the manufacturer’s specifications for equipment power usage plus 7% to account for variances in manufacturing tolerances, power usage, power supply losses, or other factors that may cause a cryptocurrency miner to use more power than advertised. All other billing cycles in between the first and last billing cycle will be billed based on the actual kWh usage observed one billing cycle prior. That usage will be accepted and billed for the current billing cycle.

For example, the first billing cycle of the contract, a customer does not receive a bill since the billing cycle is prepaid based on power estimates. On the first day of the second billing cycle, NGD will generate a bill based on the actual kWh usage observed in billing cycle 1 and use those kWh measurements to bill Customer for billing cycle 2. For billing cycle 3, the bill is generated on the first day of the billing cycle based on the actual kWh usage observed in billing cycle 2 and so on until the last billing cycle of the contract is due. When that occurs, the customer will not be invoiced as the last billing cycle was prepaid at the beginning of the contract.

The billing cycle begins on the day Your Equipment is setup and connected in NGD’s facility. The billing cycle is 30 days or 720 hours in duration. All bills are due within 7 days of issuance after which your account will be marked delinquent.

By selecting the kWh billing option, Customer represents that they understand kWh billing and accept any monthly variances associated with kWh billing as power usage may fluctuate from month to month depending on many uncontrollable factors. Customer also agrees to accept kWh readings from NGD provided measuring equipment.

Non-Recurring Charges: Non-recurring charges and associated taxes will generally be billed in advance and must be paid in full before NGD performs any work or services in respect thereof. If NGD invoices Customer for any non-recurring charges after performing the associated work or services, Customer must pay the related invoices within 15 days of receipt.

Late Payments. If you do not make any payment due hereunder within 7 days of the issuance of the invoice, your account will be considered delinquent, and we may suspend the Services at any time. You are responsible for all charges we incur because of your delinquency, including collection charges and attorneys’ fees. Delinquent payments are subject to default fees equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month and the maximum amount allowed by law.

Merchant Fees. Any payment due hereunder that is made by credit card will be subject to a 3% processing fee. Any payment submitted via the Bitpay payment system will be subject to a 1% processing fee that is included in the invoice and paid directly to Bitpay. All incoming bank wires or cashier’s checks are accepted with no processing or merchant fees.

Default in Payments.

Suspending the Services. If you fail to pay Base Fees, any non-recurring charges, or applicable taxes when due, NGD may immediately suspend the Services. During any period of suspension, we may allow Your Equipment to continue operating, in which case any cryptocurrency we mine during the suspension period will be for our account and applies to pay any amounts you owe us.

Attorneys’ Fees. Legal costs associated with indemnification will be billed to you, and you will remain responsible for all such legal costs, and any costs associated with collection.

Our Right to Sell Your Equipment. You agree that in case of delinquency for a period of 23 days we may sell Your Equipment to cover the outstanding balance due and the cost involving the sale of Your Equipment and the damages caused by this event. Your Equipment possessed by us due to your delinquency does not automatically qualify as payment until it is sold. We may exercise all other remedies available under applicable law, all without being liable for prosecution or damages.

Term and Termination.

Term. This Agreement begins on the date all of the following are completed: (i) Customer signs this Agreement, (ii) Customer submits their first Order Form to NGD, (iii) NGD receives miners Customer sends to us, (iv) NGD sets up and connects Customer Equipment, (v) Customer pays all upfront fees required by NGD. The initial term of this Agreement is the contractual time period you select in such Order Form. Upon expiration of the such time period, this Agreement will automatically renew either (A) on a month to month basis at NGD’s applicable Base Fee pricing for one-month contracts or (B) for the time period you select in a new Order Form you submit to NGD unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to this Section 19.

Mutual Right to Terminate for Convenience. Either NGD or Customer may terminate this Agreement and all or any portion of the Services by providing written notice to the other party at least 15 days prior to the expiration of the term covered by an Order Form or, if Customer is receiving the Services on a month-to-month basis, the end of the current month.

Mutual Right to Terminate for Material Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party materially breaches this Agreement. The party claiming a material breach must provide written notice to the breaching party and 10 calendar days to cure such breach. Any such written notice must contain sufficient information to allow the breaching party the opportunity to understand and cure the material breach. Your failure to pay Base Fees, non-recurring charges, or applicable taxes when due always constitutes a material breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately if a material breach is incapable of cure. Your termination of this Agreement is your sole and exclusive remedy for our material breach.

NGD’s Right to Terminate for Good Cause. We may terminate the Services at any time after providing you with [10] days’ prior written notice to you for Good Cause. “Good Cause” exists if (i) the Services become cost prohibitive, (ii) you engage or threaten to engage legal counsel who contacts NGD or our legal counsel regarding a dispute between you and NGD, or (iii) in NGD’s good faith determination, Customer repeatedly places unreasonable demands on NGD or consumes a significantly disproportional amount of the time and efforts of the NGD Parties relative to the volume of the Services purchased by Customer.

Customer’s Early Buyout Right. You may terminate the Services at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term by giving us notice not less than 30 days. Except where termination occurs at the expiration of the Term with 30 calendar days’ advance notice provided, or it is terminated by you due to a material breach by NGD (as set out herein), you must pay us a “Termination Fee.” The Termination Fee is 50% of the amount calculated by multiplying the remaining number of billing cycles of the Term by the current list monthly rate with all discounts removed, plus the difference between the monthly rate you paid prior to the early termination during the current Term and your monthly rate for the same period with all discounts removed based on the list price in effect at time of your order form submission. You agree to pay any Termination Fee within 10 calendar days of the termination date. You furthermore agree that until the Termination Fee is paid in full, you may not have access to Your Equipment and thus may incur further fees for equipment storage past the end of service term. You acknowledge that such Termination Fee is not a penalty but is in the nature of liquidated damages.

Effect of Termination. Upon termination of the Agreement for whatever reason, we may immediately stop providing the Services. We will ship Your Equipment back to you based on the instructions you provide to us. You are responsible for paying the shipping and delivery costs (or providing prepaid shipping labels to us) and any disconnect or de-installation costs prior to us shipping Your Equipment back to you. Until you make any payments of non-recurring charges or outstanding Base Fees, NGD will retain all of Your Equipment and NGD may mine cryptocurrency with Your Equipment for NGD’s own behalf in its sole discretion. Sections 15 (Fees and Taxes), 17 (Payments), 20 (Insurance), 21 (Limitations of Liability), 22 (Indemnity), and 24 (Governing Law) will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Insurance. Your Equipment will be insured pursuant to NGD’s equipment insurance policy with a maximum liability of $750.00 US Dollars per cryptocurrency miner. Customer will not be a named insured under such policy. While NGD carries such insurance coverage for the protection of Customer and NGD’s customers and intends such coverage to respond to foreseeable property and damage risks to Your Equipment, NGD makes no representations or warranties regarding the adequacy of our insurance coverage, including the amount and scope of such coverage, the terms and conditions that apply thereto, and the solvency and reputation of the underwriters. Customer may request a copy of NGD’s insurance policy in writing and must do so if Customer has any concerns about such coverage. Otherwise, NGD encourages Customer to obtain their own property and casualty insurance coverage as primary or supplemental to NGD’s insurance coverage.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

NO CONSEQUENTIAL-TYPE DAMAGES. NGD AND OUR LICENSORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS AND/OR THIRD-PARTY VENDORS (“NGD PARTIES”) ARE NOT LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, COST SAVINGS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, DATA OR USE, OR ANY OTHER PECUNIARY LOSS BY YOU OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF (I) WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE, (II) WHETHER OR NOT WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, (III) THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND (IV) THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

ABSOLUTE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE NGD PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID TO NGD FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE PREVIOUS MONTH OR $500, WHICHEVER IS LESS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; YOU AGREE THAT IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We assume no obligation to inform you that information has been so provided, and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. We may also disclose such information when it is necessary for us to protect our business, or others, from harm.

Disputes.

Mandatory Non-Binding Mediation. NGD and Customer agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or related in any way whatsoever to this Agreement, the Services, or the relationship of the parties formed hereby, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or other legal or equitable theory (a “Dispute”), by attending one-day of non-binding mediation conducted by a mediator mutually selected by them. The mediation will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia. NGD and Customer will equally share the costs of the mediator and the mediation facilities, but will otherwise pay their own expenses, including attorneys’ fees and travel expenses.

Judgment on the award is final and non-appealable. There will be one arbitrator agreed to by the Parties within 20 days of receipt by respondent of the request for arbitration or in default thereof appointed by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Atlanta, Georgia. The arbitrator has no authority to award punitive damages, consequential damages, or compensatory damages, although the arbitrator may require the losing party to reimburse the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other arbitration-related costs of the prevailing party.

Nature of Relationship. The rights and obligations of NGD and Customer set out in this Agreement are undertaken as independent contractors. Neither of the parties has the right to create an obligation on behalf of the other except if Customer instructs NGD to take action on Customer’s behalf to maintain, repair, or replace any of Your Equipment. This Agreement does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship.
