The Data Processor is exempted from liability for non-performance with the Main Agreement if the performance of the obligations under the Main Agreement would be in conflict with any changed Instruction or if contractual delivery in accordance with the changed Instruction is impossible. This could for instance be the case; (i) if the changes to the Instruction cannot technically, practically or legally be implemented; (ii) where the Data Controller explicitly requires that the changes to the Instruction shall be applicable before the changes can be implemented; and (iii) in the period of time until the Main Agreement is changed to reflect the new Instruction and commercial terms thereof.
8.1 The total aggregate liability to the Client, of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, of the Data Processor for any losses whatsoever and howsoever caused arising from or in any way connected with this engagement shall be subject to the “Limitation of Liability” clause set out in the Main Service Level Agreement.

The terms of this DPA will continue to apply to such Personal Data.
12.1 The contact information for the Data Processor and the Data Controller is provided in the Main Service Level Agreement.
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so–for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better.

To provide a fair and transparent process for managing disk space overages that balances the interests of Creative Revenue with the needs of our clients.
Proactive Disk Space Increase:
When a client is nearing their disk space limit, we will proactively increase their available space by 10GB as a courtesy to prevent service interruptions. This increase is temporary and intended to maintain service continuity while the client takes corrective action.
Notification:
Upon increasing disk space, a notification ticket will be issued to the client, informing them of the action taken and the potential costs. The ticket will detail the steps the client needs to take, either to manage their disk space usage or to formally accept the increased limit.
Grace Period:
Clients will be provided with a grace period of 14 days from the date of notification to manage their disk usage and return within their original limit. During the grace period, no additional charges for the extra 10GB will be incurred.
Resolution Options:
Option 1: Clients can clear enough data to return to their original limit before the end of the grace period.
Option 2: Clients can formally accept the increased disk space, which will be added to their account and billed on their next invoice.
Option 3: If no action is taken, the temporary additional 10GB will be removed after the grace period, which may affect the client’s service if they are still over their original limit.
Billing for Overage:
If the client opts to keep the additional disk space, billing for the extra 10GB will commence after the grace period ends and will be prorated for the first month if applicable. The cost will be in line with our existing pricing structure for additional disk space.
Enforcement:
If the client neither responds nor takes action, we will follow up with a maximum of 1 reminder notifications before the end of the grace period.
After the grace period and final notification, if the client’s usage remains above the original limit, the additional space will be removed, which could potentially lead to service interruptions.
Support:
Clients will have access to customer support for assistance with managing their disk space during the grace period. We will provide resources and tools to help clients understand their disk space usage and how to optimize it.
Upgrade Options:
Clients will always have the option to upgrade their disk space in 10GB increments. We encourage clients to regularly review their disk space needs to avoid overage issues.
By implementing this policy, we aim to provide a safety net for clients that inadvertently exceed their disk space limits while also encouraging proactive management of their resources. This policy is designed to be fair, transparent, and minimize service disruptions.
We guarantee network uptime of 99.95% in a given calendar month, excluding our list of exceptions.
See our list of exceptions below.
99.95% allows for 21.92 minutes of downtime in a given month.
All of the above are based on the monthly charge for your install, SLA credits will not exceed 100% of your monthly fee.
Downtime events are based on our monitoring. In the case of a dispute, the raw access logs will be reviewed to verify no traffic was being served.
Open a ticket by emailing [email protected] detailing the downtime event for our review. Once approved, SLA credits will be applied as a credit balance on your Creative Revenue account & will be used for future invoices.
Credit requests must be made within 7 days of the month for which the credit is being requested.
