Server Support
Basic support and maintenance of dedicated servers is provided at the discretion of WFT, Inc. In the case of erroneous instances or support issues extending beyond what we determine to be within the realm of reasonable assistance, support is priced as follows:
Scheduled Maintenance and Downtime
WFT will use its commercially reasonably efforts to provide services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Subscriber acknowledges that from time to time the services may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including periodic maintenance procedures or upgrades (“Scheduled Downtime”); or service malfunctions, and causes beyond WFT’s control or which are not reasonably foreseeable by WFT including the interruption or failure of telecommunications or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, or network congestion or other failures. WFT will provide at least 48 hours advance notice to the subscriber for Scheduled Downtimes, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any other disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of its web servers. WFT has no responsibility for downtime resulting from a user’s actions.
Fees
WFT Cloud will charge you the fees stated in your Order. When launching a WFT Cloud Server, your credit card will be charged the full monthly subscription, for the price of the SAP Landscape Server that was selected. WFT Cloud Servers are charged in monthly billing increments. WFT Cloud uses a fixed-cost pricing model – in other words, your invoiced amount will be charged in its entirety at the beginning of your monthly billing cycle. If you choose a month-to-month contract, you will be charged based on your initial invoice and no discounts will be applicable to such accounts. Discounts are offered for multi-month subscription for dedicated servers. If you choose this option, you are bound to stay for the entire contracted period to avail the discounted price. Should you choose to cancel your service prior to the end of your discounted term, the remaining balance of the total amount will be billed and service will continue to be active for the remainder of the contracted period. WFT Cloud does not offer pro-rated billing services or pay-as-you-go option currently for the Express Cloud services. Unless you have made other arrangements, WFT will charge your credit card with invoice amount as follows: (i) for recurring fees, in advance, on or around the first day of each billing cycle, and (ii) for non-recurring fees (such as fees for initial set-up, overages, compute cycle fees, and domain name registration) on or around the date incurred, or on or around the first day of the billing cycle that follows the date incurred. Unless otherwise agreed in the Order, your billing cycle will be pre-paid monthly, beginning on the date that WFT Cloud first makes the services available to you. In some cases WFT Cloud will present an “Estimated Monthly Charge”. The “Estimated Monthly Charge”is provided as a courtesy to you to help budget your monthly expenses. However, the Estimated Monthly Charge is a rough estimation of your charges based on your current usage and will not be your guaranteed monthly charge. Many items can change your monthly charge, including, but not limited to, backups, firewalls, bandwidth usage, support, domain names, private networking and any other optional WFTCloud service which you choose to enable. WFT Cloud may suspend all services (including services provided pursuant to any unrelated Order or other agreement we may have with you) if our charges to your credit card are rejected for any reason. WFT may charge interest on overdue amounts at 1.5% per month (or the maximum legal rate if it is less than 1.5%). If any amount is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, and WFT brings a legal action to collect, or engages a collection agency, you must also pay WFT’s reasonable costs of collection, including attorney fees and court costs. All fees are stated and will be charged in US Dollars. Any “credit”that we may owe you, such as a credit for failure to meet a service level guaranty, will be applied to fees due from you for services, and will not be paid to you as a refund. Charges that are not disputed within sixty (60) days of the date charged are conclusively deemed accurate. You must provide WFT with accurate factual information to help WFT determine if any tax is due with respect to the provision of the Services, and if WFT is required by law to collect taxes on the provision of the Services, you must pay WFT the amount of the tax that is due or provide satisfactory evidence of your exemption from the tax. You authorize WFT to obtain a credit report at any time during the term of the Agreement. Any credit that we may owe you, such as a credit for a SLA remedy, will be applied to unpaid fees for services or refunded to you, at our discretion.

Microsoft Software License Policy
Microsoft, as well as WFT company policy, does not allow mixing of Microsoft license ownership. For an example, a customer cannot use a WFT purchased Windows Server license in conjunction with their own customer license of MSSQL or any other Microsoft Product. This is a violation of Microsoft’s licensing policies. The customer would have to obtain all Microsoft licenses through WFT and this cost is factored in the Windows Server Purchase. In some instances, we can allow the customer to supply all Microsoft licensed products, including the OS. However, all licenses must be provided by the customer and may not be mixed with WFT licensed Microsoft products. Any questions regarding this policy can be addressed to
support@wftcloud.comLimitation of Damages
Recovery of damages from WFT may not exceed the amount of fees it has collected on the account.
