Dedicated Server Service Schedule
- Services/Rates. This Service Schedule (“Service Schedule”) sets forth the terms applicable only to specific Services as noted herein. Customer will pay all applicable rates and fees set forth in the relevant Service Order and/or SOW. This Service Schedule is issued pursuant to, and is subject to, the terms of that certain Master Services Agreement between Customer and LightWave.
- The “Service Activation Date” and Initial Term for all Dedicated Server Services shall begin on the latter of (a) the date set forth in the applicable Service Order or SOW; or (b) the date on which LightWave has made the Service(s) available to Customer.
- Separate Billing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, if LightWave partially begins providing a Service, LightWave reserves the right to commence billing for such Service on a pro rata basis.
- Service Definition. “Dedicated Server Service(s)” will consist of the provision of dedicated servers (“Dedicated Servers”), owned by LightWave, for the exclusive use of the Customer. The Dedicated Server Service will be remotely managed by the Customer and no direct, physical access to Customer’s Dedicated Server (or facilities in which they are located) will be provided to Customer.
- Server Initial Configuration. Upon acceptance in writing of a Service Order for Dedicated Server Service(s), LightWave will provide the Customer with a Dedicated Server consisting of hardware that meets or exceeds the performance of the specifications of the Dedicated Server described on the Service Order. LightWave will perform, at the beginning of the Initial Term, the initial installation of the chosen operating system as specified on the relevant Service Order, subject to the receipt of all requested information.
- Server Administrative Access. The Customer may be provided full administrative access and privileges to any Dedicated Server ordered from LightWave. For the purposes of Dedicated Server Services, full administrative access shall refer to full access using a remote connection to the operating system of the Dedicated Server such as SSH for Linux or Remote Desktop for Windows Server. However, if LightWave is required to investigate any Service impacting issues that are later found to be caused by, or related to, configuration changes or actions performed by the Customer, SLA Credits will not be payable and LightWave reserves the right to charge pro rata for any time/resources used in either investigating, implementing a work-around or restoring the Service, including any re-installation and configuration of the operating system and applications.
- Server Environment. LightWave will use reasonable endeavors to cause the Dedicated Server Service to be provided from a facility that offers an appropriate physical environment for the Dedicated Server(s) including redundant HVAC systems, 24x7x365 fully manned security, video surveillance, biometric access control systems, and a suitable fire suppression system.
- Global Internet Access. LightWave will provide each Dedicated Server provisioned for Customer use with Dedicated Internet Access (“DIA”) Service. DIA Service is a dedicated IP transit service providing access to the LightWave IP Network and the global internet. The connection speed for the DIA Service, limitations on the amount of bandwidth that is available for Customer use in conjunction with the DIA Service, any overage charges that may be assessed should the Customer exceed the specified limitations, and other related matters, if any, will be specified on the Service Order.
- IP Addresses. If LightWave assigns Customer any IP Addresses, such IP Addresses shall revert to LightWave upon expiration or termination of Service for which the IP Addresses were assigned. Customer shall cease using any assigned IP Addresses immediately upon the expiration or termination of the Service.
- Server Monitoring. LightWave will monitor the DIA network interface to the relevant Dedicated Server via simple ICMP ping in 5-minute intervals for all Dedicated Server Services unless the Customer prohibits such access via any firewalls or similar devices.
- Acceptable Use. Customer shall use Dedicated Server Services and associated DIA Service in accordance with LightWave’s Acceptable Use Policy which may be modified from time to time. The current, in effect, Acceptable Use Policy will be maintained on LightWave’s public facing website at https://wordpress.lightwavenetworks.com or in an alternative location by providing Customer written notice.

LightWave shall bear all costs of such changes and relocation directly attributable to the physical relocation of the Dedicated Server equipment, including internal recabling of all interconnected Dedicated Server equipment provisioned for Customer use. In the event of a relocation of Dedicated Server equipment, Customer waives all rights and remedies of any applicable Service Level Agreements for a twelve (12) hour period of time (the “Relocation Period”) to allow LightWave sufficient time to execute such relocation in accordance with best practices provided that, (i) Customer was given the twenty (20) day written notice that a relocation of Customer equipment was going to occur provided for in this section, (ii) Customer was given two (2) weeks prior written notice of the date and time(s) of the Relocation Period, and (iii) the Dedicated Server equipment provisioned for Customer’s use had not been relocated by LightWave under the provisions of this section for the previous three (3) years. Nothing in this section shall impose any liability on LightWave for any costs incurred by Customer in relation to any Customer-arranged local access circuits, including but not limited to, the costs of terminating, moving or re-ordering any such local access circuits.
