Cloud and Enterprise Services Addendum
- INTRODUCTION
Corporate Network Solutions’s Cloud and Enterprise Services are services designed to allow Clients scalable access to resources and services which may be managed or unmanaged to support application hosting, data storage, protection, and recovery as well as internet connectivity. Certain services are provisioned utilizing a comprehensive Statement of Work (“SOW”) and a Responsibility Matrix (“RM”) delineating the specific services to be performed, and the responsibilities of Corporate Network Solutions and Client. - AGREEMENT
This Cloud and Enterprise Services Service (CES) Addendum (“CES Addendum”) sets forth the specific terms and conditions under which Corporate Network Solutions (“Corporate Network Solutions”) shall supply Cloud and Enterprise Services to Client. The Core Service Agreement entered into between Corporate Network Solutions and Client fully incorporates the terms herein and provides that this CES Addendum, and Client’s execution of the Master Services Agreement constitutes acceptance of the terms and conditions stated herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Master Services Agreement. The Initial Term length for this Service is set forth on the applicable Service Order Form (“SOF”), executed by Corporate Network Solutions and Client, making reference to these Services. As referred to herein, “Agreement” means this Cloud and Enterprise Services Addendum, together with the MSA and all policies and addenda that are incorporated herein by reference, including the Statement of Work (SOW), Responsibility Matrix (“RM”), Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), and Privacy Policy (“PP”). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to the Cloud and Enterprise Services Addendum.General
Corporate Network Solutions Cloud and Enterprise Services is a set of services designed to lessen the burden of managing everything from core infrastructure to daily administrative tasks. Corporate Network Solutions’s infrastructure services are distinct from other dedicated hosting in that Corporate Network Solutions provides capacity, incident, and maintenance support for all management infrastructure. Client may maintain administrative access depending on the engagement. The Client Statement of Work and corresponding Responsibility Matrix delineates duties, however Corporate Network Solutions is responsible for setting up and configuring hardware, installing and configuring software, technical support, patch management, system maintenance, monitoring and updates. Corporate Network Solutions may (depending on the engagement) provide backups, load balancing, and disaster recovery, as well as security processes including vulnerability scans, intrusion detection (ID) and DDoS (distributed denial of service) prevention and mitigation on an as needed, best effort support basis.Service Levels
As a general rule all Corporate Network Solutions CES offerings are designed to be 99.99% available, at a minimum, and offer credit back to Clients whenever our service becomes unavailable outside of an established maintenance window. A service outage, unless described differently in the SOW, is any loss of connectivity to the hosted application or system for more than 15 minutes. Our 100% uptime guarantee does not include management systems, portals, and reporting or billing services. The uptime guarantee includes access to virtual machines process and stored data. It is the Client’s responsibility to request the credit from their assigned Corporate Network Solutions Account Executive for any service outage experienced. In some cases advanced service levels are available to the Client per the specific design and architecture specification in the SOW. Corporate Network Solutions will work in concert with Client on specific requirements not outlined in the implementation SOW or this addendum to ensure value is derived from this engagement.Service Delivery
For the purpose of this section alone “Service Delivery” shall be defined as ability of Corporate Network Solutions to fulfill an initial order for Service based on Corporate Network Solutions’s SOF. Once Service has progressed past installation phase and has been delivered to Client as a working Service this section shall no longer apply. The Service Delivery is dependent on available space, power, hardware and available network connectivity within a given data center. Corporate Network Solutions reserves the right to limit the service delivery to a new Client or expansion of existing Clients based on availability of space, power, hardware, or network connectivity. Corporate Network Solutions also reserves the right to limit Service Delivery in the event that necessary service components including, but not limited to, electrical power, cooling capacity, cabling, rack space, switching/routing/network infrastructure, application software, etc. are either unavailable, unattainable at a reasonable cost to Corporate Network Solutions, or put other Client’s environments at risk of disruption. - SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS
For all storage services, Corporate Network Solutions defines a terabyte (TB) as 1024 gigabytes (GB).Any of the following options may be added, individually, to Client Service for an additional fee:Managed Private Cloud
Managed Private Cloud (MPC) is a dedicated, built to order, infrastructure offering where Corporate Network Solutions’s SOW governs delivery, management, and administrative responsibilities. MPC hardware is owned by Corporate Network Solutions and leased to the Client on a schedule identified in the SOF. At a minimum, Corporate Network Solutions is responsible for managing all systems “beneath the hypervisor”, meaning that Corporate Network Solutions will maintain all components required host operating systems and data. Corporate Network Solutions is not responsible, unless identified in a SOW, for managing Client’s operating systems, applications, data, backups, or disaster recovery.Virtual Private Data Center
Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC) is a multi-tenant, shared infrastructure offering where a Corporate Network Solutions SOW would only govern delivery, management, and administrative responsibilities in unique cases. VPDC hardware is owned by Corporate Network Solutions and Clients are granted access to a specific amount of computing resources. Corporate Network Solutions is responsible for managing all systems “beneath the hypervisor”, meaning that Corporate Network Solutions will maintain all components required host operating systems and data. Corporate Network Solutions is not responsible, unless identified in a SOW, for managing Client’s operating systems, applications, data, backups, or disaster recovery.Data Security Cloud
Data Security Cloud (DSC) is a multi-tenant, shared infrastructure offering where a Corporate Network Solutions SOW would only govern delivery, management, and administrative responsibilities in unique cases. DSC hardware is owned by Corporate Network Solutions and Clients are granted access to a specific amount of computing resources. Corporate Network Solutions is responsible for managing all systems “beneath the hypervisor”, meaning that Corporate Network Solutions will maintain all components required host operating systems and data. Corporate Network Solutions is not responsible, unless identified in a SOW, for managing Client’s operating systems, applications, data, backups, or disaster recovery.Backup and Replication Services
Backup and Replication Services are a multi-tenant, shared data protection offering that provides software, hardware, and connectivity to protect VMs hosted within, and external to, Corporate Network Solutions’s demarcation point. Corporate Network Solutions will manage all hardware and software related to maintaining the service’s availability. In some cases, Corporate Network Solutions will also configure, schedule, and monitor for backups, replication, and completion to ensure success. Client is responsible for communicating requested backup and replication schedule, retry windows, retention periods, and job type during the sales engagement process. Clients may also request changes to any configured setting during the contract period. Corporate Network Solutions will govern all non-default Backup and Replication Service specifics through a SOW. Default backups schedule is one full backup followed by nightly reverse-incremental held for two weeks.Disaster Recovery Services
The Disaster Recovery Service is virtual machine protection offering that facilitates the recovery of “protected” operating systems and data. Corporate Network Solutions will manage all hardware and software related to maintaining the service’s availability. Through a SOW Corporate Network Solutions will configure and manage the protection mechanisms to ensure Client’s virtual machines are replicating between sites. Generally, Client is responsible for initiating recovery events and executing specific configuration (IP address, DNS, etc…) changes necessary to run application in failed over state. Corporate Network Solutions will provide technical assistance and support fail over attempts as defined in the SOW. - SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS (SLA)
The following Corporate Network Solutions Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the use of the Corporate Network Solutions Cloud Enterprise Services (“CES”) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (“DRaaS”) under the terms of the Master Service Agreement (the “MSA”) between Corporate Network Solutions, LLC., and Clients of Corporate Network Solutions. Unless otherwise provided herein, this SLA is subject to the terms of the MSA and capitalized terms will have the meaning specified in the Agreement. We reserve the right to change the terms of this SLA in accordance with theMSA.General CES SLA- Service Commitment
Corporate Network Solutions will use commercially reasonable efforts to make Cloud Enterprise Services available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage of 100%. In the event Corporate Network Solutions does not meet the Monthly Uptime Percentage commitment, Client will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below. - Service Credits
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage for a Client drops below 100% during a Service Month, that Client is eligible to receive one (1) Service Credit for every fifteen (15) minute period that Cloud Services was Unavailable up to a maximum amount equal to fifty (50) percent of the usage fees calculated during the Eligible Credit Period or one full month, whichever is lesser. DSC credits shall be 10% of monthly bill per Service Credit and 5% for all other CES products (VPDC/MPC). For the purposes of determining Service Credits Client will only be eligible for Service Credits related to the unavailability of:- The Corporate Network Solutions Client Portal, or
- The infrastructure and network connectivity.
Whichever Service was least available during the Service month, Corporate Network Solutions will apply any Service Credits only against future payments otherwise due from Client; provided that:
- Corporate Network Solutions may issue the Service Credit to the Client account for the Service Month in which the Unavailability occurred,
- Client is current with all payment obligations set forth in the Agreement, and
- Client’s total calculated usage fees for the Eligible Credit Period are greater than or equal to $100.
Service Credits shall not entitle Client to any refund or other payment from Corporate Network Solutions. Service Credits may not be transferred or applied to any other account. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, Service Credits are Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for any unavailability or non-performance of Services.
- Credit request and Payment Procedures
To receive a Service Credit, Client must submit a request by sending an e-mail message to support@cnsolutions.com. To be eligible, the credit request must:- Include SLA Service Credit Claim in the subject of the e-mail message;
- Include, in the body of the e-mail, Client’s Organization name, or Client ID the dates, times, and length of each Unavailability Period that Client claim to have experienced;
- Include any documentation that corroborates Client’s claimed Unavailability; and
- Be received by Corporate Network Solutions within thirty (30) calendar days of the last day reported in the Unavailability claim.
If the Monthly Uptime Percentage of such request is confirmed by Corporate Network Solutions and is less than 100% for the Service Month, then Corporate Network Solutions will issue the Service Credit to Client within one Service Month following the month in which the request is confirmed. Client’s failure to provide the request and other information as required above will disqualify Client from receiving a Service Credit. Corporate Network Solutions’s data and records will be the sole factor for validating claims due to Unavailability.
- CES SLA Exclusions
The Service Commitment does not apply to any unavailability, suspension or termination of Cloud Services, or any other performance issues:- That result from Service Suspensions described in the following sections of the Agreement: Term and Termination, and Default Events and Remedies;
- Caused by factors outside of the reasonable control of Corporate Network Solutions, including any force majeure event or Internet access or related problems beyond the Corporate Network Solutions Network Demarcation Point;
- That result from any actions or inactions of Client or any third party;
- That result from Client equipment, software or other technology and/or third party equipment, software or other technology (other than third party equipment within Corporate Network Solutions’s direct control);

If availability is impacted by factors other than those explicitly listed in this agreement, Corporate Network Solutions may issue a Service Credit considering such factors in our sole discretion.
- DISCLAIMER
If Corporate Network Solutions misses the SLA goal because of problems with Client’s behavior or the performance or failure of Client’s equipment, facilities, or applications, Corporate Network Solutions can’t give Client credit. Additionally, extenuating circumstances beyond Corporate Network Solutions’s reasonable control such as (without limitation) acts of any governmental body, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services (including DNS propagation), failure of third party software or hardware or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of Client’s Web site could cause some hang-ups that Corporate Network Solutions cannot be liable for.
Network SLA
- 100% Network Uptime Guarantee.
Corporate Network Solutions guarantees that the network will be available 100% of the time during the billing cycle (excluding scheduled maintenance and promotional bundles which include bandwidth). Clients are not entitled to a credit if the downtime is caused by:- Actions of the Client or others authorized by Client to use the Service under the Agreement;
- The failure of Third Party Service to Corporate Network Solutions’ network;
- Application, software, or operating system failure,
- The result of network maintenance activity,
- Denial of Service attack, hacker activity, or other malicious event or code targeted against Corporate Network Solutions or a Corporate Network Solutions Client, or

If Client are currently behind in payments for Client’s accounts, or have been behind 3 or more times in the preceding 12 months, Clients don’t qualify for an SLA credit for Downtime. Valid SLA claims can’t be credited if Client has outstanding abuse issues, but once Client’s abuse issues are resolved Corporate Network Solutions will gladly credit all valid claims. Making false or repetitive claims will cost Client $50 per incident and may place Client in violation of account Acceptable Use Policy and Terms and Conditions. Clients engaging in malicious or aggressive Internet activities such as attacks or counter-attacks are in violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Terms and Conditions and are therefore not entitled to SLA credits. - SUPPORT
20 Minute Support Response Guarantee. Corporate Network Solutions guarantees that one of Corporate Network Solutions’s talented professionals will respond to Client’s support tickets or inquiry within 20 minutes of submission. This applies to support tickets emailed to support@cnsolutions.com.
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) SLA
- Service Availability
- Cloud Infrastructure Downtime Definition.
Cloud Infrastructure Downtime occurs when Client’s server cannot transmit or receive data to/from the Internet due to the failure of infrastructure equipment managed and owned by Corporate Network Solutions. - Infrastructure Equipment Definition.
Consists of all of Corporate Network Solutions’s on-premises cloud infrastructure hardware including routers, switches, and cabling and includes the individual services or software running on the virtual machines (“VMs”); excluding client portals. On Premises cloud infrastructure extends only to the Corporate Network Solutions demark which is Corporate Network Solutions’s network termination point. (L2 or VPN) - Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) Event.
Each of the following will be considered an SLA Event for the Disaster Recovery as a Service as provided in Exhibit A:- Any Network outage that renders replication services unavailable for more than twenty (20) consecutive minutes.
- The data store(s) associated with Client’s DRaaS storage is unavailable for more than three (3) consecutive minutes.
- Client’s failed-over virtual machines for a class of service become inaccessible for more than five (5) consecutive minutes due to physical host server failures.
- Recovery Point Objective (“RPO”) of more than 1 hour.
- Recovery Time Objective (“RTO”) of more than 4 consecutive hours. Any built-in service functions for failover testing, planned migration, or live failover and recovery result in virtual machine replicas not powering on in less than 4 consecutive hours from the time a request is acknowledged and approved by Corporate Network Solutions. RTO is defined by Corporate Network Solutions as the restoration and successful boot of the Client’s Virtual or Physical servers.
- Cloud Infrastructure Downtime Definition.
- Service Credits
- An “SLA Credit” is an amount equal to 10% of the monthly Service Offering recurring or metered (as applicable) subscription charges invoiced by Corporate Network Solutions for the affected class of service in the calendar month for which the SLA Credit is due. If the Availability of a class of service that Client purchases is less than the associated Availability Commitment in a given calendar month, then Client may request one (1) SLA Credit, and one (1) additional SLA Credit for each additional 300 minutes the class of service was Unavailable, up to a total of three (3) SLA Credits in a given calendar month.
- A “Chronic SLA Credit” is an amount equal to 100% of the monthly Service Offering recurring or metered (as applicable) subscription charges invoiced by Corporate Network Solutions, for the affected class of service, in the calendar month in which the SLA Credit is due. Any Chronic SLA Credit is in lieu of any SLA Credits that might be otherwise due. If Client is eligible to receive an SLA Credit or a Chronic SLA Credit in three (3) consecutive calendar months and all the credits are related to the same SLA Event type, then Client may request a Repetitive SLA Credit.
- A “Repetitive SLA Credit” is an amount equal 100% of the largest monthly Service Offering recurring or metered (as applicable) subscription charges invoiced by Corporate Network Solutions for the affected class of service, in one of the calendar months in which the SLA Event occurred. If an SLA Credit or a Chronic SLA Credit was already received in the Repetitive SLA Credit period, then the amount of the Service Credit that Client may request will be the difference between the aggregate amount of Service Credits received and the Repetitive SLA Credit.
- As compensation for a downtime event, Corporate Network Solutions will credit Client’s account in one monthly billing cycle in the following manner for downtime occurring to only each respective class of service being provided through the DRaaS offering.
- Clients are not entitled to a credit if the downtime is caused by:
