Terms & Conditions

1.    SERVICES LICENSED.  Client and Premier have entered into a License Agreement for certain Selected Products & Services at Center and for the Initial Term and is effective and legally binding upon Client’s execution and delivery to Premier, without any requirement that Premier deliver a counter signature to Client. The License Agreement, these Terms and Conditions, and the attached “Premier Support Services Schedule” and the “Center Rules” govern the rights and obligations of the parties and all of which are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement”.  The “Term” includes the Initial Term and all extensions and renewals to the Term through amendments and other extension agreements.  The Center is located within an office building (“Building”) operated by the Building owner (“Building Landlord”).  The following may apply, depending on the type of License Agreement entered into:

A.      Office Agreement. If an Office Agreement is selected, then Premier has granted Client a non-exclusive license (i) to use the specific office, offices, and/or cubicle space assigned to Client (“Premises”), and (ii) to use certain designated common areas in the Center (“Common Areas”).  During the Term, Client may generally access and use the Premises 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but such rights are subject to certain conditions, restrictions and exceptions as provided in the Agreement.  Client acknowledges that some of services, such as the heating and air conditioning service (“HVAC Service”) and reception service, are not available after the normal business hours that are designated by Premier from time to time at the Center. Any statement of the size of the Premises is only an approximation. There shall be no adjustment to the amounts due under the Agreement if there was an inaccuracy in any statement of the size.  Client may install certain personal property in the Premises, but Client does not have the right to store or leave any personal property in any other areas of the Center.

B.      Virtual Agreement and Membership Agreement. If a Virtual Agreement or a Membership Agreement is selected, then Premier has granted Client a non-exclusive license to (i) use certain services offered by Premier at the Center based on the type of products and services selected, and (ii) the limited use of certain designated Common Area only during normal business hours at the Center.  Clients with Virtual Agreements or Membership Agreements may NOT use the Center as its mailing address, unless Client has purchased such right under the Agreement.  In order to utilize the Center as a business address without a PMB number, Client shall commit to a sufficient amount of credits that would equate to a minimum of sixteen (16) hours of Room Use Time per month at the Center.  Client does not have the right to store or leave any personal property in the Center.

C.    Support Services.  Premier may offer to Client certain other services under the Agreement, including services offered on a monthly basis (hereinafter “Ongoing Support Services”) and services offered on an as-requested basis (hereinafter “Support As You Need It Services”). Premier may not offer all the “Ongoing Support Services” and/or “Support As You Need It Services” listed in any schedule provided to Client.  Premier may decline to offer certain services to Client at any time.  The current schedule for “Ongoing Support Services” and “Support As You Need It Services” for the Center is available upon request, and such schedules are deemed part of this Agreement. Such schedules may be updated and amended from time to time and the prevailing rates for the Center may increase. Any new schedule shall become part of this Agreement.  Premier may provide some services only during normal business hours for the Center. The fees for Ongoing Support Services are due on the first day of each calendar month of the Term, and any additional services are payable upon demand, but generally, such demand will require payment by no later than the first day of the calendar month following the issuance of a Monthly invoice (“Monthly Invoice”).  Monthly Invoices will generally itemize the additional service fees incurred by Client through the end of the most recent billing cycle (which billing cycle is currently from the 13th day of the month to the 12th day of the next month).  Premier and vendors designated by Premier are the only service providers authorized to provide the services to clients of the Center.  Client agrees that neither Client nor Client’s employees will solicit other clients of the Center to provide any service provided by Premier or its designated vendors or otherwise.  Client agrees to pay for any services requested by Client and/or Client’s employees or agents, and Premier does not have to obtain the Client’s consent prior to providing services to Client’s employees or agents.  If Client is provided services by Premier before the commencement of the Initial Term, then such services shall be subject to all of the terms and obligations of this Agreement, and Client shall pay for all services at the same rates required under this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

D.      Meeting Rooms.  Premier may designate certain rooms in the Center as conference rooms, meeting rooms, and certain offices, as rooms that can be reserved on an hourly or daily basis (“Meeting Rooms”). Client acknowledges that the Common Areas of the Center do not include Meeting Rooms, or other non-shared areas of the Center as determined by Premier. The use of Meeting Rooms is subject to change, availability, and prior reservation, and availability is not guaranteed.  If Client utilizes a Meeting Room, then Client may use any available Meeting Room Credits (as defined below) for such use, or Client shall pay an additional service fee based on usage and hourly rates established by Premier for the type of room used.  The additional service fees for Meeting Rooms are also calculated in minimum thirty (30) minute increments for the time reserved or used (whichever is greater), even though all increments may not be fully utilized.  If Client reserves or uses a Meeting Room, the minimum charge is for at least one thirty (30) minute increment. Client must notify Premier in writing of any decisions to cancel any Meeting Room reservation AT LEAST 24 hours prior to the check-in time for the Meeting Room reservation; otherwise, Client agrees to pay Premier the full Meeting Room fees for the reservation, even if Client does not utilize the Meeting Room during the reservation.  If the Agreement includes credits for a certain amount of Meeting Room use, Client may elect to use such “Meeting Room Credits” in any monthly billing cycle during the Term.  Any available Meeting Room Credits shall be applied to the additional services fees incurred by Client for the use of the Meeting Rooms during such billing cycle, and if the Meeting Room Credits are less than the actual service fees for the Meeting Room usage, then Client shall pay the balance due as itemized on the Monthly Invoice.  Client may not carry over unused Meeting Room Credits to future months or billing cycles and there shall be no refund or credit due to Client for unused Meeting Room Credits.  The Meeting Room Credits are a promotional credit that shall apply only during the Initial Term of this Agreement.  The 24 cancellation policy referenced above also applies to Meeting Room reservations that are to be paid for with Meeting Room Credits, and in such case, if the notice of cancellation of a Meeting Room reservation is not received at least 24 hours prior to the check-in time for the Meeting Room reservation, Client’s Meeting Room Credits will be applied to such reservation, even if Client does not utilize the Meeting Room during the reservation

2.      PAYMENTS. Client agrees to pay Premier, without offset or demand, in advance on the first day of each month, the Monthly Fees and Monthly Costs and other monthly recurring fees for such month, including CAM Charges. In addition, unless another time is specified herein for such payment, by the first day of the following month after a Monthly Invoice is generated, Client shall pay Premier all other amounts due under the Agreement, including additional service fees and applicable sales and use taxes.  If Client disputes any of the charges on a Monthly Invoice, Client agrees to pay the undisputed portion on the first day of the calendar month following the issuance of such Monthly Invoice. Client agrees that charges must be disputed within 30 days, or Client waives its right to dispute such charges. If any payments are not received within three (3) days of the date due (e.g. the third day of the calendar month for amounts due on the first day of the month), Client must pay Premier a service charge of 10% of the late payment or $50, whichever is greater, for bookkeeping and administrative expenses. Client must also pay interest at 1.5% per month on late payments, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.  Upon Client’s execution of the Agreement, Client is required to pay Premier the “Total Due at Signing” amount specified in this Agreement. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the amounts payable by Client under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of Premier’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Premier may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Premier’s right to recover the full amount due. If the Client elects to use a credit card processing service to pay amounts due to Premier under this Agreement by credit or debit card, then Client agrees to pay all processing fees or access fees for this service (which may be collected at the time credit card payment to Premier is made by Client), unless prohibited by law.  Declined credit cards will incur a $25.00 service fee.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Client will (a) leave the Premises and all of Premier’s furniture, equipment, and furnishings in the Premises (“Premier FF&E”) in good condition and repair, (b) pay Premier all costs incurred by Premier to repair or replace any damaged or missing Premier FF&E, and (c) pay Premier an office reconditioning fee equal to a flat rate of $375 for an office measuring up to 150 square feet. A further charge of $2.50 will be payable by you for each square foot over 150 square feet per office assigned to Client. 

3.      CAM CHARGES. The Building Landlord provides office cleaning, maintenance services, electricity, lighting, and HVAC Service to the Center and Building.  Office Agreement clients are required to pay, as an additional service fee, a monthly amount specified in the License Agreement for Client’s share of the common area maintenance and building operating costs and charges (“CAM Charges”).  There shall be no refund to Client of any CAM Charges paid by Client to Premier based on any reconciliation of operating expenses between Premier and the Building.

4.      SECURITY DEPOSIT. Client shall deposit with Premier upon execution of this Agreement and shall maintain during the Term (including any extensions and renewal), the Security Deposit specified in the Agreement for Client’s faithful performance of Client’s obligations hereunder. If at any time during the Term (or any renewal or extension term), the Monthly Costs and other monthly recurring fees are increased, then the amount of the Security Deposit to be maintained by Client under this Agreement will be increased to an amount that is 200% of the Monthly Costs and other monthly recurring fees due under the Agreement.  The additional Security Deposit shall be payable to Premier upon request. The Security Deposit will not be kept in a separate account from other funds of Premier, and no interest will be paid to Client on this amount. The Security Deposit may be applied to outstanding fees or charges at any time, at Premier’s discretion, including applying the Security Deposit to the amounts due at termination under Paragraphs 2, 5 and 14. Premier has the right to require that Client replace and replenish any portion of the Security Deposit that Premier applies to Client’s fees or charges. At the end of the Term, if Client has satisfied all of Client’s obligations, Premier will refund the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit within 75 days of the later of (a) the date Client has removed all personal property from the Premises and turned over the keys, or (b) the date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement.  Client waives any statutory right that requires the return of the Security Deposit earlier than required herein.

5.      RULES AND REGULATIONS; FIRST-CLASS USE. Client agrees to use the Building, the Center and the Premises for first-class office use, only, including keeping the Premises and any Premier FF&E in good condition and repair. If Client fails to do so, then Client shall pay Premier all costs for repair and replacement incurred by Premier to bring the Premises and the Premier FF&E into the required condition. Client agrees to comply with the rules and regulations of the Center (“Center Rules”) that are contained as part of this Agreement.  Client also agrees to comply with the requests of the Building Landlord (including Building security) and all rules and regulations imposed by the Building Landlord, and all such requests and all rules and regulations imposed by Premier and Building Landlord are incorporated into and constitute the Center Rules for purposes of this Agreement.  The Building Owner and Premier have the right to reasonably amend the Center Rules and supplement the same with new reasonable rules, and all such amendments and new rules shall be binding upon Client after notice is provided to Client. Client acknowledges that other clients, occupants or visitors of the Center and/or Building may not comply with the Center Rules, and Premier may be unable to obtain immediate compliance with the Center Rules.  However, the non-compliance of the Center Rules by others does not give Client the right to not comply with the Center Rules.  In addition, the non-compliance of the Center Rules by others does not give the Client the right to any deductions, credits, right to terminate or any Claim or remedy against Premier for such non-compliance.  Client waives any Claims (defined below) action against Premier and the Building Owner arising out of or related to the violation of the Center Rules by any other client, occupant or visitor of the Center or the Building, or related to Premier’s or the Building Owner’s non-enforcement or waiver of the Center Rules in any particular instance. To the extent there is a conflict between the Center Rules and the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement will control.

6.      HIRING PREMIER’S EMPLOYEES; NO SOLICITING OTHER CLIENTS TO RELOCATE. Premier’s employees and service providers are an essential part of Premier’s ability to deliver our services. Client acknowledges this and agrees that, if during the Term of this Agreement and for 6 months afterward, Client hires any of Premier’s employees (including, without limitation, all temporary contract service providers and all former employees hired by you) within six months after (a) the termination of such person’s employment with Premier, or (b) the termination the independent contractor agreement between such person and Premier, then Client shall pay Premier a commission for the hiring in an amount equal to one-half of the sum of (i) the annual base salary of the employee you hire, plus (ii) any bonus and/or commissions allocable to such employee on an annual basis. Client agrees that the obligation to pay a commission and the amount of the commission payable is fair and reasonable. Client agrees not to solicit or otherwise cause any other clients of the Center to move from the Center.

7.      LICENSE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT A LEASE OR ANY OTHER INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY. IT IS A CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENT THAT CREATES A REVOCABLE LICENSE. Client acknowledges that Premier retains full legal possession and control of the Center, the Premises, the Common Areas and the Meeting Rooms.  This Agreement is only a non-exclusive license for Client to use certain designated areas of the Center at certain designated times, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  This Agreement is subject to and subordinate to the terms of Premier’s lease with the Building Landlord.  Premier has a right to enter any and all areas within the Center, including the Premises (if you are assigned offices(s)), at any time and without any prior notice (and whether nor not Client is present in the Premises or the Center).  Client acknowledges that the rights to the shared access and use of the Premises and/or the shared Common Areas and Meeting Rooms of the Center may be restricted and limited as provided in this Agreement.  Client acknowledges that the access key fobs into the Premises, the Building and the Center may be deactivated and/or temporarily suspended under certain circumstances without any notice or court action, including, but not limited to, all times specified by this Agreement, or due to a governmental agency order, or for an emergency, or for health or safety reasons, or for security reasons, or for a casualty, or for authorized repairs, or based on Client’s default or misconduct.  This Agreement terminates automatically upon any termination of Premier’s lease with the Building Landlord.  Premier may also elect to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior notice if Premier is closing the Center or closing the portion of the floor on which one or more of the offices assigned to Client are located. Additionally, Premier has the right to terminate this Agreement if the Building Landlord requests such termination, including reasons related to Client’s use of the Premises, Center or Building in a manner that the Building Landlord considers not appropriate for a first-class office building, due to the nature or type of your business or organization conflicting with or not being appropriate for the mix of other business for the Building, due to your failure to comply with requests and rules related to the use or misuse of the Building and the areas in and around the Building, including the parking area, and/or due to Client or Client’s employees accessing unauthorized areas of the Building. Client does not have any rights under Premier’s lease with the Building Landlord. When this Agreement is terminated because the Term has expired or otherwise, the license to access the Center and Premises is revoked and terminated, and Client no longer has any right to enter or use the Center or Premises. Client agrees to remove Client’s personal property and leave the Premises by no later than the date of termination of the Term.  Client acknowledges that Premier is not responsible for property left in the Premises and/or Center after the termination of the Agreement. If you do not remove any property belonging to you after termination, you shall be conclusively deemed to have abandoned such property.  In such case, the abandoned personal property shall be deemed conveyed to Premier. At Premier’s option, Premier may move the abandoned items to a place of storage and may require Client to pick up the abandoned property upon demand.  In such case, Client is required to pay for all moving and storage costs upon demand.  If Client fails to pick up the abandoned items in a timely manner (no later than 15 days after notice), then Premier may dispose of the abandoned items and all costs related to such disposal shall be paid by Client to Premier upon demand. 

8.      DAMAGES AND INSURANCE.  Client is responsible for any damages that Client causes to the Center, the Premises, the Common Areas and the Meeting Rooms, beyond normal wear and tear. Additionally, Client is responsible for any damage you cause to the Building, including the Building parking facilities or common areas that are part of the project owned by the Building Landlord. Premier has the right to enter, inspect and make any necessary repairs to all parts of the Center, including the Premises. Client is responsible for insuring Client’s personal property against all risks. Client assumes the risk of loss with respect to all of Client’s personal property in the Center and/or Building (including the parking areas) irrespective of whether it is in your possession or Premier’s.  Client agrees to carry insurance to cover losses related to loss of and/or damage to Client’s personal property.  Client waives any right of recovery against Premier and the Building Landlord and their respective owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, managers, shareholders, members, partners, representatives, staff, attorneys, insurers, representatives, assigns, predecessors, or successors (collectively “Premier Parties”) for any damage to or loss of Client’s personal property. It is agreed that all of Client’s personal property located anywhere in the Premises, the Center and the Building (including the parking garage) is under Client’s control. Client confirmed that Premier is not responsible and shall have no liability for any lost packages or mail, it being the understanding that Client, at Client’s sole cost, is responsible for obtaining insurance to insure against the risk of lost packages or mail. Client is also responsible for obtaining worker’s compensation and commercial general liability insurance coverage against any liability and claims, including worker’s compensation injuries and claims arising out of the Client’s and Client’s employees’ and invitees’ use of the Premises, the Center, the Building and all areas appurtenant thereto, including contractual liability covering Client’s indemnity obligations required herein. The foregoing insurance shall be primary and noncontributory and shall contain a provision including Client’s waiver of rights of subrogation against Premier and the Premier Parties to the extent such waivers are allowed by law. Client hereby waives all right to recovery, releases and relieves Premier and the Premier Parties, and their insureds arising out of incidents or perils to be insured against herein. The effect of such releases and waivers is not limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable thereto. Client also agrees to obtain and maintain insurance, including business interruption insurance insuring during the Term in amounts appropriate for Client’s business, including coverage in the event there are any issues or problems with the Building, including, without limitation, suspension of access to the Center and/or the Premises for any reason, HVAC Service problems, water leakage, defective equipment, issues with the conditions in the Center and/or Premises, and/or utility disruptions.

9.      DEFAULT; TERMINATION. Client shall be deemed in default under this Agreement if: (i) Client fails to abide by, or to cause Client’s employees, contractors, agents or invitees (“Client Parties”) to abide by, the Center Rules; (ii) Client does not pay any amount payable by Client hereunder by the designated payment date; or (iii) Client does not otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement.  Premier has the right to immediately terminate this Agreement: (a) if Client fails to correct a default within three (3) days after written notice to cure, or (b) without any notice to cure, if (i) Client defaults and the default is not the type of default that can be cured, or (ii) if Client uses the Center for any illegal operations or non-permitted uses or purposes (including using the Premises for sleeping or storage of personal household items that are not for first-class professional office use). Premier has the right to treat a violation of any of the Center Rules as a default that cannot be corrected, including a default and termination based on Client or Client’s representatives’ or invitees’ non-professional or disruptive conduct in the Center.  Premier also has the right to assess a service charge against Client for a violation of any of the Center Rules in an amount of up to $500 per violation, which service charge will be payable by Client within three (3) days of demand by Premier. If this Agreement is terminated due to your default, then Client will still be liable for damages related to amounts due and payable for the remainder of the Term, even though the license is terminated, and Client no longer may use the Center or the Premises.  However, with regard to the damages for default of an Office Agreement, Premier will make reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages by attempting to locate a replacement, and the costs incurred for mitigation shall be recoverable from Client.  If Client defaults on any of its obligations under this Agreement, Premier may cease providing any and all services, including without limitation suspension of access to the Premises and Center, and suspension of the parking, telephone and internet services, without notice or the need to initiate legal proceedings and without any legal action, such as a court, a mediation and/or an arbitration action.  Client shall pay to Premier, upon demand, any costs, including without limitation reasonable legal fees, incurred by Premier in enforcing the terms of this Agreement. If Client or a company affiliated with Client is a party to one or more separate agreement(s) with Premier or its affiliated entities (“Other Agreement(s)”), then a default by Client under this Agreement and/or any Other Agreement(s) shall, at Premier’s option, also constitute a default by Client or its affiliate under this Agreement and/or the Other Agreement(s), and Premier may exercise its rights and remedies related to such default under this Agreement and/or the Other Agreement(s).  Premier will not be liable for any default or breach by Premier under this Agreement unless Client delivers written notice of such default or breach to Premier in accordance with the notice provisions of Paragraph 15 below and Premier fails to cure such default or breach within thirty (30) days after Premier’s receipt of such notice.  If Premier fails to timely perform any obligation due in whole or in part to any strike, lockout, labor trouble, civil disorder, inability to procure materials, failure of power, public emergency, stay-at-home order, restrictive governmental laws and regulations, riots, insurrections, war, fuel shortages, accidents, casualties, acts of God, the coronavirus pandemic, other pandemic or epidemic, or terrorism, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Premier (“force majeure event”), then Premier shall not be deemed in default and the time for performance shall be extended by the period of delay resulting from such cause.  If Client’s performance of any obligation required by this Agreement is made impossible by a force majeure event, then the time for performance of such obligation is extended for the period of prevention, delay, or stoppage by such force majeure event, but the parties agree that Client’s obligations to pay the amounts due under this Agreement are not delayed or excused under this provision or by a force majeure event and Client agrees to pay the amounts due, even if Client business is impacted by the force majeure event and/or Client is not able to utilize the Premises, the Center, or the services at the Center, in whole or in part, for Client’s business. Premier also has a right to immediately terminate this Agreement by giving the Client notice and without the opportunity to cure if (a) Client or Client’s representative made any misrepresentation or provided incomplete or inaccurate information on the application or on any document submitted to Premier, or (b) Client is not registered or is not good standing with the Secretary of State in which the Center is location, (c) Client’s initial payments due upon execution are not received, including Client providing a check, ACH transfer authorization or credit card authorization that is returned unpaid or disputed, or (d) Client discloses the terms of this Agreement in a manner not allowed under Paragraph 18 below. Premier also has a right to cancel and terminate this Agreement by written notice served within 10 days after the Client’s acceptance, if Premier determines that (a) Premier’s representative that presented the Agreement to the Client made an error in the Agreement, or was not authorized to offer such terms to Client, (b) the Premises or any services required under the Agreement are not available at the Center, including situations when another client has entered into an agreement for the same Premises, or (c) the Clients business or use is not compatible for the Center due adverse and negative public records, or the intensity of use or type of business conflicting with or not being appropriate for the mix of other clients or businesses in the Center and/or Building.

The aforementioned adjustment due to Client shall be limited to an amount equal to the charge for the affected service for the period from the date commencing three (3) business days after Client provides written notice to Premier of the issue and shall continue and apply through the date such failure, delay or interruption issue is corrected.  Such adjustment is not required if Premier did not provide the service based on a default by Client or due to a force majeure event.  Client acknowledges that there shall be no adjustment to Client’s bills if the issue is a reduction, suspension or delay in services that are not separately charged to Client, such as reception services, which may be altered or suspended in certain circumstances.  Client is also not entitled to any adjustment, abatement or credit to the amounts due under this Agreement for (a) suspension of access to the Building, Center or the Premises for reasons as allowed under this Agreement, (b) repairs to the Premises, Center, Building and/or HVAC Service, (c) water leakage or other condition in the Premises, Center and/or Building, (d) defective equipment, and/or (e) telecom, internet and other utility failures or disruptions.

However, Client confirms that Client will not be entitled to any adjustment or abatement and that Client waives all rights to recovery against Premier and the Building Landlord, in the event Client or Client Parties are not satisfied with the temperature range in the Premises and/or Center.

12.     RELOCATION; RENOVATIONS. Premier reserves the right to relocate the Premises to another office in the Center from time to time. If Premier exercises this right, the new Premises will only be to an office of equal or larger square footage. This relocation of Client’s personal property will be at Premier’s expense. Premier reserves the right to access at any time, including showing the Premises to prospective clients, but Premier will use reasonable efforts not to disrupt Client’s business during such showings. Client acknowledges that Premier and the Building Landlord may, from time to time, renovate, improve, alter, or modify the Center, and/or the Building (collectively, the “Renovations”).   Client agrees that such Renovations shall in no way constitute a default by Premier, and Client shall not be entitled to adjustments, abatement, discounts, credits or any Damages related to or arising from the Renovations.  Premier shall have no responsibility and shall not be liable and Client hereby releases Premier and the Premier Parties from any Claim and Damages that relate to the Renovations, including any Claims for any injury to or interference with Client’s business arising from the Renovations, compensation or damages for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, the Center, and/or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations.

13.     INTERNET SERVICES. If Internet Service is part of the services selected under the Agreement, Premier will provide Client with shared access to a high-speed Internet connection (Internet Service). Premier’s basic Internet Service will be provided through a dynamic NAT (Network Address Translation) private IP address, which change over time. The private IP addresses are behind Premier’s firewall and do not provide direct inbound access. A static public IP address may be a service that can be provided at an additional service fee.  The Internet Service fee is based on the number of individuals that Client allows to use such Internet Service and Client agrees that Client will update Premier promptly upon Client adding additional individuals that will be accessing the Client’s Internet Service, so the appropriate additional Internet Service fee may be invoiced to Client.  Client represents that Client will not allow more than the authorized number of individuals to access Client’s Internet Service and confirms that Client understands that only one individual may access the Client’s Internet Service for each “Internet Access” connection selected by Client, and if two or more individuals are sharing an office, the Internet Service fee is for each individual, not each office.  Notwithstanding, each authorized individual may utilize multiple devices to access the Client’s Internet Service (e.g., computer and telephone), but such devices must be used exclusively by such authorized individual while at the Center.  Premier will provide a single wall-mounted Ethernet jack per office for physical connection to the Internet Service. If Client needs additional jacks, Client can either purchase a switch at its cost or, for an additional charge, Client may request that Premier provide installation services, such as an additional jack or relocation of an existing jack, and if Premier performs such service, then Client shall pay Premier’s prevailing rate for such service. Subject to location availability, Premier may provide wireless Internet access in addition to the wall-mounted Ethernet jack.  PREMIER SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, LIABILITY, CLAIM OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM ANY DEVICE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET SERVICE. Except for the Ethernet jack provided by Premier as specified above, Client shall be responsible at its cost for obtaining and installing all other equipment and operating systems necessary to connect Client’s device to the Internet Service. Client shall have sole responsibility for the installation, testing and operation of Internet facilities, services and equipment (other than installation that is specifically to be provided by Premier). CLIENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR USER ACCESS SECURITY AND NETWORK ACCESS, SUCH AS CONTROL OVER WHICH USERS USE THE INTERNET SERVICE AND INSTALLATION OF PASSWORDS. Client acknowledges that Premier will not be providing user access security or virus protection of any kind, and Client agrees that Client shall have the sole responsibility for detecting and preventing against any network security breaches and computer viruses. In all cases, Premier shall in no way be responsible for external attacks, security breaches or computer viruses made on Client’s computer or other devices. Client shall use the Internet Service only for accessing the Internet for first-class professional office use, and Client will not use any apparatus or device or computer or electronic data processing equipment in the Premises other than as required for typical first-class professional office use.  Client shall not use the Internet Service as a server site for ftp, telnet, e-mail hosting, web hosting or other similar Internet services without Premier’s prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in Premier’s sole and absolute discretion. The use of the Internet Service for mining digital currency and the like is prohibited.  Inbound port access to the internal private LAN is blocked by default. However, if Client requires usage of inbound remote control software or Virtual Private Networks, Premier, at its election and at an additional charge to Client, may allow this type of inbound access on an as-requested basis. Client is allowed to access the Internet Service utilizing only IP addresses issued by Premier, unless otherwise agreed to by Premier. Client will be charged for any unauthorized access to the Internet. Premier shall have the right to terminate Internet Service to Client for any unauthorized use of or access to the Internet by Client. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Client must relinquish and discontinue use of any IP address(s) assigned to Client by Premier. Premier may elect to reassign new private or public IP address(s) at any time. If Premier detects inordinate amounts of bandwidth consumption and/or more than one person for each “internet access” connection subscribed to by Client, Premier reserves the right to elect to: (a) temporarily block services; (b) disallow usage above a pre-determined threshold; and/or (c) charge Client for the excess bandwidth or additional connections used. Any such election by Premier shall not constitute a waiver of Premier’s right to terminate this Agreement due to any failure by Client to comply with the provisions of this paragraph. After 2 warnings of inordinate bandwidth consumption by Client, Premier shall have the right to terminate Internet Service to Client. Any Client purchased voice-over IP (VOIP) telephones, and services are not supported by Premier.  Client acknowledges that Premier does not provide QOS, packet priority, or otherwise guarantee connectivity, call quality or quality of service. If Client elects to use a voice-over IP service and/or phones and retains Premier to provide support services (which will be at an additional cost) related to any issues with the use of VOIP telephones, software or services, Premier shall use reasonable efforts only to resolve issues and improve service with no guaranty on improvement, connectively or quality.  Client shall be subject to, and Client’s use of Internet Service shall be limited by, any rules and regulations that Premier may impose in connection with the use of the Internet Service. Premier shall have the right to terminate Internet Service to Client if Client defaults on its obligation and/or if Client violates any such rules and regulations. If Premier is informed by any government authorities of inappropriate or illegal use by Client of Premier’s facilities or other networks accessed through Premier, Premier may terminate Client’s Internet Service. CLIENT SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD PREMIER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY LOSS, LIABILITY, CLAIM, ACTION OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM CLIENT’S USE OF THE INTERNET SERVICE, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATED TO CONTENT DISSEMINATED BY CLIENT’S EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE AND/OR USERS OF THE INTERNET SERVICE. PREMIER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING BANDWIDTH SPEEDS FOR THE INTERNET SERVICE.
