WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, MYACT! is a provider of hosted application solutions, and WHEREAS, Client wishes to contract with MYACT! for such Services. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, MYACT! and Client agree as follows:
1. Description of services
MYACT! shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provide Setup, Hosting Services (Services) described in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof. The parties may amend or change the Description of Services only by mutual written agreement.
Database Security and Ownership: Database servers will never be available directly from the web and will have no external (Internet) IP addresses; the database servers will be located in a DMZ area on a background private network within the hosting facility. All MYACT! Firewall Services are hardware/mechanical firewall Services with built-in NAT technology. Databases are only accessible to authenticated users through a web application server that communicates with the databases on the background private network. Client understands and agrees that occasional temporary interruptions of any Internet Services may occur as normal events in the provision of the Internet Services. MYACT! agrees to exercise reasonable care to prevent such occurrences; however, under no circumstances will MYACT! be held liable for any financial or other damages due to such interruptions. Client shall retain ownership at all times of the data and the database structure that constitute the database hosted by MYACT!. MYACT! shall maintain the data and the database in a confidential manner as set forth in Section 9. Upon demand or Termination of this Agreement, MYACT! will, at Client’s direction, either return all copies of the data and the database to Client or certify the destruction of the data and the database. MYACT! will provide a backup copy of the most recently edited version of the database through a standard ACT! Zip File backup. MYACT! will be under no obligation to return Client’s data until all monies owed MYACT! have been paid by Client.
Backup and Maintenance: Backups will be performed nightly by an automated software system. Once these backup files are created they are moved to internal MYACT! backup servers, and then replicated to external MYACT! servers located within a separate hosting facility out of state. Backups are accessible via the web by authenticated users of the database who have permission to access the backup files. As part of the backup routine, databases are compressed and re-indexed nightly.
Version Control and upgrade policy –
a. We support the last version of the previous version of ACT (i.e. ACT! 902 would only be supported until ACT!11 was released)
b. We support only the last two Inline versions of the current version of ACT! ST (i.e. 10.00 and 10.0.1 ) and clients must upgrade to the current inline version before the next inline becomes available. When the next inline becomes available and MYACT! deems it safe to upgrade, we no longer support the older inline previous supported ( i.e. 11 ships, 9.00 is no longer supported)
c. For Clients who wish to use EX, They must upgrade to the latest inline when we schedule it and within 30 days of availability. We do not support multiple inline versions of EX in a hosted environment. This is a privilege that ST users get.
d. Client understands that MYACT! is simply a hosting Service for the Hosted Software and must conform to any changes or modifications within the software or EULA agreement as set forth by the Manufacturer of the product. Should the Software Manufacturer modify any legal or financial agreement, MYACT! reserves the right to change this agreement to reflect those modifications
e. Once the Software Manufacturer releases the next inline release for the current version, all new users will be required to on-board the MYACT! hosting system in that current version. Should a user fail to upgrade to the next inline release, their Service will be interrupted. MYACT! will archive their database and provide it as a backup for downloading purposes.
