Article 7: Technical Conditions and SLA Cloud Services DBLC

These Technical Conditions and SLA of the DBLC Cloud Services are intended to describe the quality and service levels of the DBLC Cloud Services, which include, but are not limited to, hosting, housing, IaaS services such as VMs, Databases, Private Pools and more.

Resource sizing: the resources provided through the DBLC Cloud Services are dimensioned according to fundamental parameters. For example, Virtual Machines (even more briefly VMs) are typically sized on: No. of CPUs, Amount of RAM, Amount of disk space. These parameters may vary and consequently influence the price. It is therefore advisable, in order to obtain any further price simulations, to refer to the DBLC portal which offers an always updated view of the services available and allows you to quickly estimate virtual servers with various types of cpu/ram/hd.

Any upgrades of virtual hardware, resources or software licenses require a realignment of the monthly fee. The quotation will be made on the basis of the actual consumption of resources requested, an updated version of the economic offer will be released, which will take effect from the month following the upgrade. The visualization of the current situation of the Customer’s resource consumption, any realignments and/or updates can be consulted through the various dashboards present on the DBLC management portal.

SLA: The service levels (even more briefly SLA) of the DBLC Cloud Services offered always include the management of data centers and vital infrastructures, activities completely covered by DBLC. These SLAs do not include warranties, maintenance, handling of Customer data. The maintenance and management of data, as well as the creation of security backups, is always the responsibility of the Customer.

The system maintenance of the VM (see paragraph Managed Services), if not expressly mentioned in the offer, is to be considered excluded. It is the Customer’s duty to carry out internal system maintenance of the operating system, which includes, by way of example only, the periodic installation of updates and service packs, checking the state of health of the machine, and tuning the operating system.

DBLC guarantees an uptime SLA, i.e. availability of its Cloud Services corresponding to 99.2%/year. Any violations of the guaranteed SLAs will correspond to a maximum liability of DBLC as indicated in the article Limitations of Liability of Cloud Services DBLC

Article 8: DBLC Cloud Services Limitations of Liability

In no case DBLC can be held responsible for the loss of data due to any internal/external cause. Any interventions to restore data from backups are always excluded from the economic offers and will be quoted from time to time. ANY other provision of IT assistance and consultancy, as well as the supply of hardware, software or services not expressly mentioned in the Technical Attachments or in the connected Economic Offers, are to be considered EXCLUDED.

As defined in the article relating to the DBLC Cloud Services SLAs, the Supplier guarantees the uptime, i.e. the availability of its platforms and is only responsible for the maintenance of its infrastructure and services.

The ownership of the Data remains the exclusive property of the Customer, as Owner of the data, who is also unequivocally responsible for the management and maintenance of the same. The Customer must therefore provide for their management and protection, also through additional backup and protection services provided by Providers such as DBLC or third parties. Any data backup services, complete or partial data backups, related point-in-time recovery services, even following data loss, unless expressly requested and regulated through a specific Economic Offer, are to be considered EXCLUDED and charged to the Customer.

Events such as data corruption due to malware, accidental deletions by users, difficulty connecting and accessing data due to Customer connectivity, data and service deletion requests made through the DBLC Technical Support Service, data deletion and services performed autonomously by the Customer through the DBLC control panels or otherwise, are just a few examples, not exhaustive, of factors that fall exclusively under the Customer’s responsibility.

In the case of requests for cancellation of DBLC Services, the Customer expressly RELEASES DBLC from any consequence deriving from the loss of the data present, stored and managed through the DBLC Services whose cancellation has been requested. It remains the sole responsibility of the Customer to make appropriate backups before requesting cancellation of the DBLC Services.

In the event of a breach of the DBLC Cloud Services SLAs (See article relating to the DBLC Cloud Services SLAs), DBLC’s maximum liability to the Customer, for any adverse and unforeseen event giving rise to a claim, will not exceed the amount that Client has paid for DBLC Cloud Services during the 12 months preceding the breach event.

Article 9: Microsoft Cloud Services Limitations of Liability

The provisions described in this article involve and include any license and/or subscription resold through DBLC that activates any Microsoft cloud service. By way of non-exhaustive example, we therefore mean the services/licenses Office 365, Microsoft 365, Azure, etc, whether they are resold through the CSP (Cloud Service Provider) program or not.

The Customer is required to sign and accept the Microsoft Customer Agreement, as a consequence of the purchase of any Microsoft cloud service/license. The purchase of a Microsoft cloud service/license through DBLC implies acceptance of the MCA by the end customer.

Customer must accept Microsoft’s policies regarding price lists applied to purchased Cloud services. In the CSP program, prices are now based on the price list of the country in which the end customer resides, regardless of the country of the reseller or distributor. For this reason, in cases where the location of the end customer and its tenant is registered in a country with a currency other than the currency normally used (Euro), the price list that will apply will be that of the customer’s currency and not the one in EUR.

Microsoft Cloud Services SLAs are defined by Microsoft itself, so Customer should refer to Microsoft SLAs for any service continuity needs. The Customer immediately accepts the complete non-involvement of DBLC with regard to the duration, efficiency and functioning of the Microsoft SLAs, on which DBLC cannot oppose, dispute or modify anything. The Customer holds DBLC harmless from any consequence, disservice, misunderstanding of the SLAs, non-compliance with the SLAs by Microsoft or any third party.

The ownership of the Data remains the exclusive property of the Customer, as Owner of the data, who is also unequivocally responsible for the management and maintenance of the same. The Customer must therefore provide for their management and protection, also through additional backup and protection services provided by Microsoft itself or third parties. Any data backup services, complete or partial data backups, related point-in-time recovery services, even following data loss, unless expressly requested and regulated through a specific Economic Offer, are to be considered EXCLUDED and charged to the Customer.

Customer is urged to consult the Microsoft SLAs, as well as the MCA agreement, in order to clearly understand the service levels included in the Microsoft licenses/subscriptions purchased through DBLC. In no event can DBLC be held liable for any misunderstanding, damage or loss of data. By way of example, it is emphasized that Microsoft undertakes to guarantee (in any case within the MS SLAs) the availability of the service, or, for example, of the 365 platforms and functionalities, but the responsibility for data ownership remains with the Customer the final. Microsoft does not carry out historical backups, versioning and archiving of the data itself, a need to be provided by the Customer himself.

In the case of requests for cancellation of DBLC Services, the Customer expressly RELEASES DBLC from any consequence deriving from the loss of data present, stored and managed through the Microsoft cloud services whose cancellation has been requested. It remains the sole responsibility of the Customer to make appropriate backups before requesting deletion through DBLC, or independently, of Microsoft cloud services.

In the event of a breach of the SLAs by Microsoft, the liability of DBLC is null and void. The Customer must make a request directly to Microsoft and take action against the latter in the event of a violation, fully indemnifying DBLC from any consequence of any kind. The Customer immediately declares to understand that in the relationship between Microsoft and the final Customer, DBLC has played a purely intermediary role, but can neither represent Microsoft nor take charge of the latter’s SLAs, in any case.

Article 10: DBLC Cloud Services Delivery Terms

Delivery terms The DBLC Cloud Services ordered, such as virtual servers (VMs), are usually delivered within a few hours. The variation of some parameters such as cpu, ram and disk space can be performed in a very short time, so as to allow the server to be back in production in real time.

Article 11: Delivery terms of Hardware and Software materials

The agreed delivery terms will never be considered as strict deadlines. If the Transferor fails to meet its delivery obligations in full or on time, the Purchaser shall give default notice to the Transferor and allow the Transferor reasonable time to meet these delivery obligations at a later date.

The risk relating to the items to be delivered must be handed over to the Buyer at the time of delivery. This is the time when these Deliverables will leave the Seller’s premises, warehouse or shop or the time when the Seller has informed the Buyer that he can collect the items.

The shipment or transport of the Items will take place at the expense and risk of the Contracting Party in order to be decided by the Transferor. The Transferor is not responsible for any damages of any nature related to the shipment or transport of the Items.

If the Seller delivers the same Items to the Buyer, the risk of the Items will pass when these Items arrive at the address registered by the Buyer or are in fact at his disposal.

If it seems impossible, due to a lawsuit within the risk area of the other party, to deliver the ordered Items (in the agreed manner) to the Buyer, or if these Items are not collected, the Supplier is entitled to store the Items at the expense and risk of the counterparty. The Purchaser must enable the Transferor after having given notice of conservation and within a term to be set by the Transferor, to deliver the Items within the established term or collect the Articles themselves within this term.

If the Purchaser still fails to fulfill the obligation to purchase after the term referred to in the previous paragraph, he must immediately be in default. The Assignor must therefore have the right to withdraw in whole or in part from the Contract with immediate effect by a written statement and to sell the Items to a third party without the Assignor being obliged to compensate any damages, costs or interest arising therefrom. The foregoing does not affect the Buyer’s obligation to compensate for any (storage) costs, loss due to delay, lost profits or other damages or the Supplier’s right to demand performance at a later date.

An agreed delivery term will not take effect until the Transferor has received all the information necessary for the delivery and any agreed (advance) payment from the other party. In case of delay, the delivery time will be extended accordingly.

In the event that a service is provided through a service license for the Buyer, this service license is exclusive, non-transferable and linked only to the individual hardware serial number. If additional hardware is required, the service subscription will not transfer and a new agreement will be required.

Article 12: Any Packaging

Packaging that is intended to be used multiple times will remain the property of the Transferor. This package cannot be used by the other party for purposes other than for which it is designated.

The Transferor must determine whether the packaging must be returned by the other party free of charge or that he must collect the packaging at the Purchaser’s expense.

The Assignor always has the right to deduct a management fee of 10% from the amount to be refunded or settled.

If the packaging is damaged, incomplete or has been destroyed, the Buyer is liable for the damage and his right to a refund of the tax expires.

If the damage referred to in the previous paragraph is higher than the applied rate, the Transferor will not have to collect the package. The Transferor will then have the right to charge it to the Purchaser at the cost price, deducted from the fee paid by the Purchaser.

Packaging for single use must not be collected by the Transferor and can be left with the Purchaser. Any removal costs will be borne by the Buyer.

Article 13: Complaints and any returns

on small differences in consideration of measurements, weights, numbers, discoloration and small color deviations, etc., acceptable within the industry;

on Items that have changed in nature and / or composition or that have been fully or partially processed or processed.

Complaints cannot suspend the Buyer’s payment obligations.

If the items need to be returned for the complaint to be investigated, this will be the responsibility of the Buyer unless the complaint appears to be substantiated. The transport risk will always be borne by the Purchaser.
