- Use of BES Services or Hosted BES Software for any purpose other than internal business or personal purposes is prohibited.
- Our licensors, including RIM, are not responsible to you for any warranty provided by us. 01.com provides no warranty (see section 33).
- We do not represent or act as an agent of RIM in providing BES Services.
- Your rights to BES Services under this section will automatically terminate upon the termination of our Master Alliance Agreement with RIM or termination of any portion of the BBSLA.
- You consent to providing RIM with information that personally identifies (or can be used together with other information to personally identify) you for the sole purpose of providing BES Services to you.

To the extent zMailCloud's licensors are named as third party beneficiaries to this agreement, they will also be third party beneficiaries to these limitations and exclusions of liability.
- Email Throttling: For the protection of our customers, zMailCloud throttles outbound email to
help prevent abuse. We do not publish parameters of this system to
further discourage abuse. You may request an increase for an individual
mailbox, or for all mailboxes in a domain, using our Online Help Desk web ticketing
system, and we will raise this limit to accommodate your business
within about a Business Day.
- RBLs, Defaults and Internet Standards: zMailCloud subscribes to various RBLs, and requires that mail servers
conform to generally accepted standards as recognized by published
Requests for Comments (RFCs). You understand we use these systems and
policies for your protection, and that they sometimes will result in issues that may impact Service, for example and not limited to,
the outright rejection of some inbound email. If you suspect you are
not receiving email from a specific individual or group, please verify
the issue by duplicating it, request we investigate the issue, using
our web ticketing system, and including the full header information of
email not reaching your mailbox(es), by having the mail cc:'d to
another account at which you can receive the mail, or by faxing it to
us (contact us for the fax number please). While you may submit a
ticket to change this and other Default settings, it is zMailCloud's
standard practice to delete messages left in its servers' Trash and
Junk folders after 30 days, and among other security settings, to lock
mailboxes with a certain number of failed consecutive login attempts.
You understand we use these Default settings and policies for your
convenience and protection, and that they sometimes will cause
unexpected delays and results, such as and not limited to requiring the
resetting of passwords prior to login, changes to your default
preferences, and ticketing requests to personalize default settings for
you.

zMailCloud does
not represent the company Zimbra, VMware, Yahoo!, RIM, Apple, nor any other computer software, hardware or
services firm. Help Desk Support may
not be completed or even possible because of a problem with your computer,
its configuration, network, internet or software that is beyond
our control. In such event we do not resolve your problem to your
exclusive satisfaction, we will communicate alternatives that may include
recommendations for optional Services. We may also recommend third-party
services for whose performance you agree we are not in any way liable, for
example and not limited to the service that may be due and delivered by
computer manufacturers such as and not limited to the company Zimbra, Apple, HP, IBM, Microsoft or Dell. If we determine and you agree you need more help than
the Help Desk Support provides ("Out-of-scope Service"), such as and not limited to the case of any
training, lessons, advocacy, expert advice or any service requiring remote
control of your system, we may ask you to pay for
Supplemental Services.
- Out-of-scope Service: Desktop or operating system support, support for software used outside of its intended purpose or unsupported by its manufacturer or labeled "beta", support of use of our services in violation of the terms of this Agreement, end-user training delivered to more than 2
people simultaneously, programming, senior technicians and advanced
technology services, as determined by zMailCloud at zMailCloud's sole discretion, will be
delivered as Supplemental Services, mutually agreed on by Customer and zMailCloud in
writing and in advance of Service. Cumulative, additional charges for Hourly work may apply
for rapid response ("Emergency") services, requests for specific, senior or multiple
technicians, on-premises services and service outside of Availability, as
agreed upon in writing prior to service.
- Service Requests: zMailCloud makes commercially reasonable efforts to make Help Desk Support
available by means of Online Chat Name, toll-free Phone, and the preferred means of contact: the Online Help Desk's issue tracking system. zMailCloud maintains a Help Desk (https://helpdesk.01.com) ticketing system that enables customers to log in using their email
addresses and email passwords, and to describe and prioritize issues,
ranging from, for example, "Low" to "Critical" priority. See section 26. SLA, below, about prioritization. Contact with
zMailCloud personnel may not be recorded beyond what is documented in the
Ticketing System. Requests for Service are accepted at any time
through the Ticketing System. The tickets generated by the Ticketing
System are available through the Ticketing History section of the Help
Desk for the life of this Agreement. zMailCloud makes best efforts to
respond to higher priority tickets sooner than lower priority tickets.
For transparency, tracking and continuity purposes, Customers are
expected to use the Ticketing System whenever practical, and to
describe specifically and prioritize service requests reasonably
accurately, per Acceptable Use, Section 14. Response to Service Requests is
provided on a first come, first served basis, and in the case of
simultaneous requests for Service, Customers are prioritized by their
ticket priority. zMailCloud
makes reasonable efforts to prioritize in-bound requests for service
from Customers with the same, or similar ticket priorities. To help
improve our availability to meet your needs, service requiring senior
or specific zMailCloud technicians should be scheduled a minimum of 5 Business Days
in advance.
- Undelete and data restoration: zMailCloud makes commercially reasonable efforts to make and verify nightly
incremental, and weekly full backups of all your data stored on the
zMailCloud servers, and to keep these backups for longer than 48 days, and not longer than 64 days. You may use the Online Help Desk to request we restore an individual mailbox to a
date and time in the preceding 48 days, and we will
restore the mailbox under a different name, for your convenience.
Please allow at least 24 hours for processing of undelete requests.
- Security and monitoring: zMailCloud
makes commercially reasonable efforts to enable the secure transfer of
data such as and not limited to email to and from its Servers by using
public SSL certificates to offer 256-bit SSL encryption of network
services, including SMTP (outbound mail), POP (inbound mail), IMAP
(inbound mail and synchronization), LDAP (directory services) and HTTP
(web mail, mobile and desktop synchronization). We make commercially
reasonable efforts to secure the servers physically by highly
restricting and securing server administration, and placing the servers
in data centers monitored by live security guards, video
surveillance, palm print, security code access and individually locked
cabinets. The zMailCloud Servers are monitored in 5 minute increments over
the internet externally from more than a dozen locations across the world, with both current status and up-time reports available via zMailCloud Systems Status & Reporting ("Systems Status"), located at http://status.01.com. The operation of Systems Status may change from time-to-time at zMailCloud's sole discretion.
- Hosting services maintenance ("Scheduled Maintenance"): zMailCloud regularly scheduled maintenance may occur on Saturday nights,
from 10PM until 10AM on Sunday mornings, USA Central time (GMT -5/6). zMailCloud shall
attempt to notify and coordinate with Customers a minimum of 4 days in
advance and no less than twenty-four (24) hours in advance of all
non-emergency maintenance. By e-mail, or RSS newsfeed ("News") in
the zMailCloud blog, and Systems Status page, zMailCloud shall advise Customer of the expected duration of the
maintenance window and the impact of the work to be performed. No further notice of maintenance
windows may be provided to Customer. zMailCloud shall not provide any applicable credits for work stoppage
or service outages necessary to provide scheduled maintenance. zMailCloud makes commercially
reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance no more than once a month at
times most convenient for the majority of those customers affected. zMailCloud may schedule maintenance as
often as is deemed necessary to maintain system reliability and integrity,
at zMailCloud's sole discretion.
- Service value: You understand
and agree by signing up for Service, you receive material value, equating
to no less than the full Service's entire purchase price, from setup of, access
to, availability of and reservation of the Services from zMailCloud, regardless of your actual
use ("Usage") of any of the Services.
- Acceptable/Fair Use & Monitoring: zMailCloud has set no fixed upper limit on the amount of emails, bandwidth,
telephone or online support requests you may make annually. While we understand that each of the organizations we serve are composed of unique persons, zMailCloud has based its service commitment and pricing based upon expected reasonable use of the average Customer (collectively
referred to as "Acceptable Use"). zMailCloud reserves the right to monitor
and record the nature and amount of Service requested by each Customer.
Should zMailCloud conclude at its sole discretion that Customer is
requiring Service in amounts greater than reasonably expected, or if
zMailCloud believes that Customer is using the Service for resale unauthorized by zMailCloud, sending
unsolicited email (spam) or viruses, or other fraudulent uses, or has
used profanity or otherwise abused a zMailCloud team member, partner,
affiliate or another zMailCloud customer, or has allowed any non-customer
to use Customer's account to receive support services, or has published
an incorrect SPF record, zMailCloud may immediately terminate this
Agreement. Should zMailCloud decide to terminate this Agreement for the
reasons set forth above, zMailCloud will notify Customer by email or
telephone. Within three (3) days of receiving the
termination notice, Customer may set forth reasons why termination is not
warranted. zMailCloud will consider Customer's objections and thereafter
render its decision. Any decision not to terminate Customer's account
does not preclude zMailCloud from terminating Customer's account at a later
date should there be another violation of this Acceptable Use policy or for other
reasons set forth in this Agreement.
- Non-hire: during the term of
this agreement and for a period of 24 months following any zMailCloud service
to you, you and zMailCloud agree that neither party shall directly or indirectly hire, solicit, or
encourage to leave the other party's employment, any employee, consultant or
contractor of the other party, or hire any such employee, consultant or contractor
who has left the other party's employment or contractual engagement. The parties
acknowledge that either party's breach of this provision cannot be reasonably or
adequately compensated by damages in any action at law, and said breach of
this provision of this Agreement will cause the damaged party irreparable injury and
damage. The parties expressly agree that the damaged party shall be entitled to injunctive
and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, the other party's breach of
this provision of this Agreement. Resort to such equitable relief,
however, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other rights or
remedies that the damaged party may have for damages or otherwise. The various rights and remedies of
the damaged party under this Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to be
cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other or of
any right or remedy allowed by law.
- Payments: Payments for all services are due in advance. Credit card, e-check and PayPal payments may be made
securely through the zMailCloud Billing Manager, or by phone with zMailCloud.
Cash payments are not accepted without management's written approval.
You agree to report of any payments outside these terms at your
earliest opportunity, and report of such activity may entitle you to
waived service charges: billing (at) 01.com, subject: payments. A late
charge fee of 1.5% per month or the maximum interest allowable by law,
whichever is lower, shall apply to any late payments made by you to
01.com. Customer is responsible for all non-recurring and recurring
charges after Service is activated. You may update billing information
online using the zMailCloud online Billing Manager. By sending an email to
the contact listed by you in the Billing Manager ("Contact Email
Address"), 01.com will automatically attempt to warn you three times
over an approximately two week period if your credit card has expired
or is declined. You acknowledge that all services may be immediately
suspended or terminated ("Interruption") at zMailCloud's sole discretion and without further warning if
any payments for services are past due by more than 10 days or if any charges made by zMailCloud to you are declined or charge backs are
claimed against any outstanding invoiced amount. Such Interruption does
not relieve you from the obligation to pay Service charges. Disputes
to amounts invoiced and payment details changes should promptly be reported to the
Billing department using the Help Desk, or to billing (at) 01.com. There are no returns. At zMailCloud's sole discretion, any credits due will be provided as credit toward future zMailCloud Service.
- Credit Cards: When you choose to provide your credit card information to zMailCloud, you
agree that we may bill you for amounts due for zMailCloud services
periodically, without your further approval, until Service is canceled
by you or zMailCloud. Payments for Service once made are non-refundable,
and you affirmatively agree not to request any refund from your credit
card company. You agree that all information provided is up-to-date,
accurate and complete, including and not limited to your contact email address. Payments over $1000 at any one time, or in any one payment
period on an American Express credit card may be subject to a 5% transaction service
fee.
- Change orders. To change your order, please log in
to your self-service Email Admin (https://zimbraadmin.01.com),
where you may add/delete mailboxes, change quotas, etc.. You may change
your contact information and as applicable, Terms online Billing Manager (http://billing.01.com).
While you may of course contact us for assistance, where service can be
changed independently by you, zMailCloud will only instruct you how to make
changes yourself. Where available, monthly terms may be upgraded to
annual terms using the Billing Manager. Once chosen by you, annual
terms may not be changed to monthly terms and you are not entitled to more than one Free Trial Period. One-time, setup fees, if any are due, may be applicable each time you make a net-addition
to a resource such as and not limited to the number of mailboxes in any
given calendar month. If you add mailboxes during an annual Term, you
will automatically be charged a pro-rated amount based on the remainder of your term for those new
mailboxes at the beginning of the calendar month following your
addition(s). We have invested in reporting, self-service systems, and customized, up-to-date documentation to provide you with the maximum practical autonomy with your Service. You are solely responsible for consequences of your configuration changes, including and not limited to increases in pricing due to increases in storage on mailboxes set to "unlimited" quota and therefore charged for usage-based pricing. There are no returns under any circumstances. If zMailCloud agrees to provide credit to you, it will only be in the form of credit toward future zMailCloud services.
- Automatic Renewal. Your account will renew
automatically at the then current, same periodic rates and plan, unless we
terminate it, or you terminate it prior to the 28th of the month preceding the end of your Service period term.
Hosting services may not be canceled by email, you may only cancel your hosting services yourself by using the Billing Manager. There is a knowledgebase article in our Online Help Desk entitled "How to cancel service" that has illustrated instructions if
you need guidance. You must cancel your membership before it renews in
order to avoid non-refundable billing of Service fees for the renewal
term to your credit card or other automated form of Payment.
- Service Level Agreement (SLA): Our Service Level Agreement (http://www.01.com/sla.html) for shared hosting Service is available on the
zMailCloud website. The SLA includes a description of our goals and promises, and your goals during your term. zMailCloud
reserves the right to amend the SLA from time to time, effective immediately
upon notice via email or RSS feed. The SLA sets forth Customer's sole
remedies for any claim relating to this service or the zMailCloud services,
including any failure to meet any guarantee set forth in the SLA.
- Change of Service: zMailCloud retains the
right to change Fees and Charges hereunder if required to by regulation,
statute or rule of any governmental entity or applicable rule of law. zMailCloud shall provide prompt
written notification via email of any such increase. All products and services provided by zMailCloud are subject to its
business policies, practices, and procedures, which zMailCloud may change at
any time and from time to time in its sole discretion without notice to
Customer. zMailCloud will make
commercially reasonable efforts to provide thirty (30) days written notice
in the event of a material change. If any changes adversely affect
Customer's rates or services in a material way, Customer's right to
terminate this agreement is Customer's only remedy. If Customer chooses to continue to
use zMailCloud products or services after receiving notice of any changes,
those changes will apply to Customer after the date it receives the notice
and will be reflected in the next billing period.
