Services to you on behalf of Melbourne IT. You acknowledge and
agree that Melbourne IT may supply the services through any
Melbourne IT Group company and this agreement is for the benefit of
that company.
2. Services

Date for the period specified in the Proposal, or, for such
extended period agreed from time to time by you and Melbourne IT in
writing ("Service Period").

number") and password which will provide you with access
to the Mission Control panel (which is used by you

will provide the Customer with Web and Email Services as per the
hosting level or product(s) you have selected in the Mission
Control panel.
2.3 We must perform scheduled maintenance to servers from time
to time. We will attempt to perform all scheduled maintenance at
times which will affect the fewest customers. If scheduled

group data centres located in Australia. Melbourne IT will
determine in its absolute discretion from time to time the data
centre location from which your Service is provided. Melbourne IT
reserves the right to migrate your web site to a new operating
system platform if our operating system supplier ceases to provide
support for the legacy operating system, or if the server from
which the service is provided fails or, in Melbourne IT's opinion
becomes unreliable. Melbourne IT will use reasonable endeavours to
notify you via the contact details in our database but does not
take any responsibility for web site failure if you have failed to
keep your contact details up-to-date or if you have not checked the
operation of your web site post-migration and notified us of any
required changes to the web site configuration.

incurred by Melbourne IT in recovering the debt (including, without

Dedicated Server Hosting

revert to Melbourne IT when this agreement is terminated.
1.2 The Dedicated Server services cannot be resold by you as
shared services.
1.3 You acknowledge that Melbourne IT will not provide any
reports, service levels or backups in respect of the Dedicated
Server services.
1.4 Melbourne IT gives no warranty and makes no representation
about the applications or other functionality able to be supported
by the Dedicated Server. You agree that you will make your own
enquiries and satisfy yourself as to the suitability of the
Dedicated Server for your purposes.

subject to availability of hardware, loading on our mail servers
and demand for the product. During high demand periods,
provisioning time could be delayed by up to 5 business days.
2. Security
2.1 It is your responsibility to maintain the security for the
Dedicated Server services including patching for any exploits
or vulnerabilities.
2.2 We reserve the right to access the server used to supply the
Dedicated Server without notice to you in order to apply urgent
hotfix patching to prevent damage reasonably anticipated as likely
to be caused to our systems and operations if such a patch is not
immediately applied. As the Dedicated Server services are
customer managed, you may incur a patching fee if Melbourne IT
undertakes patching of those servers under this clause, charged at
our list price at the relevant time.
2.3 We will not be liable to you for any interruption of service
or loss of data or functionality in such circumstances provided
that we have acted with reasonable care.
3. Support Services
3.1 You are responsible for the care and maintenance of your
operating system. Melbourne IT will provide additional support
services on a consultancy basis at our standard rates (listed in
Mission Control or on request). Additional support services must be
requested by you via logged job. You will be invoiced upon
completion of each service request.
3.2 You can vary the scope of a service request during its life,
by logged job. If you do so, we are not responsible for any impact
on the deliverables and the timetable set out in the service
request. You agree to pay any additional costs we incur as a result
of the variation.
3.3 In performing each service request we will follow generally
accepted industry standards and practices in carrying out the
services. We warrant that the services will be provided with due
skill and care but we do not warrant that they will meet a certain
standard, or will be suitable and fit for your purposes.
3.4 If we are not able to carry out a service request because of
an event beyond our reasonable control, you can seek to have your
needs met through others without incurring any liability under this
agreement.
3.5 You agree to provide to us, within the timeframe reasonably
required by us, access to: your premises; employees and
contractors; source code and object code; data and databases;
legacy systems; and documents, as we reasonably require in order to
carry out the services. We are not responsible for any loss
suffered by you if you do not provide us with this access, and we
will be entitled to stop work if your failure to provide access
means that we cannot reasonably complete the work you have asked us
to do in the service request. If we stop work under this clause
before completing the work, you will still be obliged to pay us the
full fee for the work as agreed in the service request.
3.6 We retain ownership of any bug fixes, workarounds, patches,
beta fixes and builds, and other software that we make available in
the course of providing the services and only give you a license to
use them. You must use any of the software in accordance with:

governing the product for which the software is provided; or

any terms expressly set out in writing by us; or

packaged with the software:
(i)The software may not be reverse engineered, de-compiled or
disassembled to the extent this restriction is permitted by law;
and
(ii)The software may not be loaned, leased, sold, sublicensed or
otherwise distributed to another user; and
(iii)To the maximum extent permitted by law the software is
provided 'as-is' without warranty of any kind; and
(iv)We may terminate your use of the software if you do not
comply with these restrictions.
3.7 The advice we may give you in performing the service request
is personal to you and is not to be shared with others unless with
our prior written agreement.
3.8 You give us permission to use your technical identification
in a non-identifying format for problem resolution, internal
troubleshooting, product functionality enhancements and fixes, and
in any descriptions of problems or solutions to problems, which we
record in our systems. We will not identify you or publish your
confidential information in any item we record in our systems.
3.9 You and we remain free to develop products independently
without the use of the other's confidential information. Neither of
us will be required to restrict the future work assignments of
people who have had access to confidential information. These
people are free to use the information they remember related to
information technology, including ideas, concepts, know-how or
techniques, so long as they do not disclose confidential
information of the other party in violation of this agreement. This
