DEFAULT BY SERVICE PROVIDER: Customer acknowledges that given the nature of the services rendered, it is impractical and extremely difficult to guarantee and/or prevent against all security threats, data breaches, and/or other attendant losses that the system is designed to deter, avert, protect against, and/or fix. Customer acknowledges that this MSSP Agreement will not create an obligation of the Service Provider to assume for liabilities which covers the loss, damage, and/or destruction of Customer’s Program Files, Devices, Data, Computer Hardware, and/or Computer Software resulting from services and/or software provided under the MSSP Agreement.Customer agrees that Customer shall bring no lawsuit, action, claim, and/or demand against the Service Provider more than one (1) year from the date of the alleged incident giving rise to the lawsuit, action, claim, and/or demand.

Such liquidated damages are the exclusive remedy for any loss, damage and/or destruction to the Customer’s Program Files, Devices, Data, Computer Hardware, and/or Computer Software under this MSSP Agreement, irrespective of cause or origin of such loss, damage, and/or destruction. The Service Provider recommends that if Customer desires further protections from potential loss, damage, and/or destruction to Customer’s Program Files, Devices, Data, Computer Hardware, and/or Computer Software, the Service Provider advises Customer purchase a back system that secures their Data as well as purchase insurance coverage to insure against such potential losses, and it shall be Customer’s independent responsibility to protect his Data and purchase such insurance coverage at Customer’s own expense.
DEFAULT BY CUSTOMER: In the event that Customer has not remitted payment by the fifteenth (15th) day after the due date, Customer shall be deemed to be in default. In the event of a default by Customer in the payment of sums due herein, the Service Provider shall furnish Customer with notice of any such default. In the event that Customer does not cure the default within five (5) days after notice of said default, the Service Provider will be entitled to pursue any and all legal collection remedies available, and the Service Provider shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in such collection efforts.
