5. Special Provisions Applicable to
Resellers
TenaMax inc from time to time may offer reseller programs which will
permit Customers to resell certain of TenaMax inc's products and
services, and be eligible for certain discounts, services and
other promotions. A Customer that participates in a reseller
program is referred to herein as a "Reseller". To be eligible to
participate in a reseller program, the Reseller may be required to
meet certain requirements as provided in such reseller program. If
you are a Reseller, the terms and conditions in this section (in
addition to any terms or conditions contained in the reseller
program) are applicable to you.
As a Reseller, you are TenaMax inc's Customer. A Reseller shall be
deemed, and is the "Customer" for all purposes under this
Agreement and the Usage Policy. When you resell the Services, the
purchaser of those resold services becomes your customer (a
"Reseller Customer"). A Reseller Customer is not a Customer of
TenaMax inc, and TenaMax inc will not support any Reseller Customer.
Reseller shall take all necessary measures to preclude TenaMax inc
from being made a party to any agreement with any Reseller
Customer. As a Reseller, you are authorized to resell the Services
identified in the applicable reseller program on a non-exclusive
basis. TenaMax inc reserves the right to market and sell its products
and services through its own employees, other resellers and other
representatives and retailers that may compete with you. The terms
and conditions of such other relationships may differ from the
terms of this Agreement and the reseller program, and may be
better. Reseller shall be responsible for billing, and collecting
payments from, Reseller Customers. Reseller shall not withhold
payments to TenaMax inc under this Agreement because of a failure of a
Reseller Customer to make payments to Reseller. Reseller may set
the prices to be paid to it by Reseller Customers for any of the
resold Services. Reseller shall provide all support (including,
without limitation, customer support, first level support, second
level support, and other technical support) for Reseller
Customers. Reseller shall pay all sales, use, transfer, privilege,
excise or other taxes and all duties, whether international, state
or local, however designated, which are levied or imposed on
TenaMax inc and Reseller under this Agreement and any and all
transactions between Reseller and Reseller Customers. Reseller
shall not resell the Services under TenaMax inc's brand name. Reseller
shall be solely responsible for compliance with any regulations
governing the export of the Services (or any portion thereof).
Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a license to Reseller to use
or resell the Marks (as defined below).
6. TenaMax inc as Reseller or Licensor
TenaMax inc is acting only as a reseller or licensor of the hardware,
software and equipment used in connection with the products and/or
Services that were or are manufactured or provided by a third
party ("Non-TenaMax inc Product"). TenaMax inc shall not be responsible
for any changes in the Services that cause the Non-TenaMax inc Product
to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or
otherwise affect the performance of the Services. Any malfunction
or manufacturer's defects of Non-TenaMax inc Product either sold,
licensed or provided by TenaMax inc to Customer or purchased directly
by Customer used in connection with the Services will not be
deemed a breach of TenaMax inc's obligations under this Agreement. Any
rights or remedies Customer may have regarding the ownership,
licensing, performance or compliance of Non-TenaMax inc Product are
limited to those rights extended to Customer by the manufacturer
of such Non-TenaMax inc Product. Customer is entitled to use any
Non-TenaMax inc Product supplied by TenaMax inc only in connection with
Customer's permitted use of the Services. Customer shall use its
best efforts to protect and keep confidential all intellectual
property provided by TenaMax inc to Customer through any Non-TenaMax
inc
Product and shall make no attempt to copy, alter, reverse
engineer, or tamper with such intellectual property or to use it
other than in connection with the Services. Customer shall not
resell, transfer, export or re-export any Non-TenaMax inc Product, or
any technical data derived therefrom, in violation of any
applicable United States or foreign law.
7. IP Address Ownership
If TenaMax inc assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for
Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address
shall belong only to TenaMax inc, and Customer shall have no right to
use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by TenaMax
inc
in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the
term of this Agreement. TenaMax inc shall maintain and control
ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may
be assigned to Customer by TenaMax inc, and TenaMax inc reserves the right
to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and
addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion.
8. Caching
Customer expressly (i) grants to TenaMax inc a license to cache the
entirety of the Customer Content and Customer's web site,
including content supplied by third parties, hosted by TenaMax inc
under this Agreement and (ii) agrees that such caching is not an
infringement of any of Customer's intellectual property rights or
any third party's intellectual property rights.
9. CPU Usage
Customer agrees that Customer shall not use excessive amounts of
CPU processing on any of TenaMax inc's servers. Any violation of this
policy may result in corrective action by TenaMax inc, including
assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance
of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken in TenaMax inc's sole and absolute discretion. If
TenaMax inc takes any corrective action under this section, Customer
shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance
prior to such action.
10. Bandwidth and Disk Usage
Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the
number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer
on the Order Form (the "Agreed Usage"). TenaMax inc will monitor
Customer's bandwidth and disk usage. TenaMax inc shall have the right
to take corrective action if Customer's bandwidth or disk usage
exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may include the
assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance
of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken in TenaMax inc's sole and absolute discretion. If
TenaMax inc takes any corrective action under this section, Customer
shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance
prior to such action.
11. Property Rights
TenaMax inc owns all right, title and interest in and to the Services
and TenaMax inc's trade names, trademarks, service marks, inventions,
copyrights, trade secrets, patents, know-how and other
intellectual property rights relating to the design, function,
marketing, promotion, sale and provision of the Services and the
related hardware, software and systems ("Marks"). Noting in this
Agreement constitutes a license to Customer to use or resell the
Marks.
12. Customer Web Site; E-Commerce;
Customer Warranties
Customer shall be solely responsible for the development,
operation and maintenance of Customer's web site, online store and
e-commerce activities, for all products and services offered by
Customer or appearing online and for all contents and materials

limitation (i) the accuracy and appropriateness of the Customer

illegal. Customer shall be solely responsible for accepting,
processing and filling customer orders and for handling customer
inquiries or complaints. Customer shall be solely responsible for
the payment or satisfaction of any and all taxes associated with

AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS, AS AVAILABLE BASIS. NONE OF
TenaMax inc, ITS PARENT, SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED CORPORATIONS, OR ANY

its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents
(each an "indemnified party" and, collectively, "indemnified
parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, suits, actions, demands, proceedings (whether legal

Services or TenaMax inc's equipment used to provide the Services.
Under no circumstances, including negligence, shall any TenaMax
inc
Person be liable for any indirect, incidental, special,
