SPECIFIC TERMS FOR INTERNET ON-DEMAND SERVICE

These Specific Terms for Internet On-Demand Service, which both the Company (as defined in clause 6.1 hereof) and the Customer agree to be bound by, are incorporated into and made a part of the master services agreement and/or other general terms and conditions executed between the Company and the Customer (the “Service Agreement”). Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Service Agreement.

 

1.         SERVICE DESCRIPTION

The Company shall provide Internet On-Demand Service (the “Service”) to the Customer as more specifically defined herein.

(a) The Service shall comprise the Console Connect Port(s) for IP transmission over the Network at the speed (or bandwidth or rate or data rate) set out in the Order Form.

(b) The Company grants to the Customer or its Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use one (1) Console Connect Port IP Address and one (1) Customer Equipment IP Address in the Customer Equipment for the sole purpose of enabling the Customer Equipment to gain access to the Service. The Customer’s or its Affiliate’s licence to use the Console Connect Port IP Address and Customer Equipment IP Address shall terminate immediately upon the expiration of the Agreement or the termination of the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Customer shall assume responsibility and remain primarily liable for any material breach of such license or the terms of the Agreement by its Affiliate.

(c) Subject to the sole discretion of the Company and IP Address space availability, the Company will grant to the Customer or its Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use additional IP Addresses for Customer’s own network usage (Additional LAN IP Addresses). To ensure the efficient use of Internet IP Addresses as required by the Regional Internet Registry (RIR), Additional LAN IP Addresses are assigned on actual need basis. The Customer needs to provide justifications and application details before the Company considers the assignment of Additional LAN IP Addresses. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the assignment of Additional LAN IP Addresses is optional and is not a mandatory service component of the Service. The Customer’s or its Affiliate’s licence to use the Additional LAN IP Addresses shall terminate immediately upon the expiration of the Agreement or the termination of the Service in accordance with this Agreement. Customer shall assume responsibility and remain primarily liable for any material breach of such license or the terms of the Agreement by its Affiliate.

(d)In case the Company observes Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on the Console Connect Port subscribed by the Customer and the scale of such attack will cause adverse impact to the Network resulting in service degradation to other customers on the Network, the Company will, at its sole discretion and without prior notice, implement necessary actions to reduce the impact of such DDoS attack. These actions include, but are not limited to, the “Black Hole” of the IP Address(es) being attacked, or alteration to the
routing of the traffic destined to the attacked IP Address(es). The Company also reserves the right to, and shall terminate the Service as required to protect the Network as a whole if such service-impacting DDoS attack occurs more than once in a calendar month. The Company shall not be liable to the Customer for any actions taken by the Company to reduce the impact of such DDoS attack including, without limitation, “Black Hole” of the IP Address(es) nor any delay or failure in resuming the normal routing of the traffic destined to the affected IP Address(es) nor termination of the Service for this cause.

 

2.         CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS

In addition to the obligations set forth in the Service Agreement, Customer shall have the following obligations with respect to the Services:

(a) When the Customer advertises Customer IP Address(es) into the Console Connect Port(s), the Customer must ensure to only advertise Customer IP Address(es) with the Customer or the Customer’s subsidiary or affiliate being the Registered Owner of the Customer IP Address(es). The Company does not have any responsibility as a result of the Customer’s act to advertise Customer IP Address(es) with the Registered Owner not being the Customer or the Customer’s subsidiary or Affiliate.

(b) If Customer connects via BGP, Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining at all times a Local Internet Registry status and at least one (1) Autonomous System (‘AS’) Number (AS Number) from the relevant Regional Internet Registry (‘RIR’). In addition, Customer is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all Customer-related information in the RIR database; ensuring that only Registered Routes are advertised; and ensuring that an exact match between its Registered Route and its BGP route advertisements is maintained.

(c) If Customer running BGP wishes to announce any new routes not provided to the Company at the time of the activation of the circuit, Customer must update the Company such new routes according to the Company’s IP prefix announcement policy.
