General Policy

These Policies apply to all RC Data Centres. RC is entitled to make changes to the Policies from time to time at its discretion, but RC agrees that any changes to the Policies will not materially and adversely affect each Customer’s use of the Services. Changes to the Policies will be effective immediately upon such change. All capitalized terms not defined elsewhere in the Policies are defined in the Definitions section at the end of the Policies.

For all purposes under the Policies, each Customer has full responsibility and liability for all acts or omissions of its Authorized Persons, Accompanying Persons, and Associated Entities, and all such acts or omissions will be attributed to Customer for all purposes, including for the purposes of determining whether Customer has breached (i.e. failed to abide by) the Policies.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Customer is responsible and must ensure that Customer’s Authorized Persons, Accompanying Persons and Associated Entities do not take any actions that Customer is prohibited from taking under the Policies.

The Policies are not intended to impose upon RC any liability (or obligations) to a Customer for which RC is expressly excluded from being liable (or responsible) for under the MSA for such Customer.

A. SERVICES

Details of RC’s Services are found in our product specifications brochure, which are readily available from your Account Manager. RC also offers the following Services (the “Additional Services”), which are further described below: (i) Cross-Connects; (ii) Power; and (iii) Installation and Procurement of equipment for the Customer. Where products or materials are provided as part of the Additional Services for a Customer, the Customer will be responsible for paying for the cost of the products or materials as well as the other charges associated with the Additional Services.

1. Cross-Connects

RC will install Cross-Connects, as ordered by a Customer, so long as the Customer to which the Cross-Connect runs approves such Cross-Connect. In the event that any of a Customer’s Cross-connect is disconnected due to such Customer’s request or due to termination or partial termination of an Order, RC may inform the other Customer of the disconnection. Upon commencement of the notice period preceding expiration or termination of a Customer’s MSA or a Customer’s last Order in a RC Data Centre, RC may notify other Customers to which such Customer is interconnected that such Customer will no longer be present in the RC Data Centre(s) in question as of the date of termination or expiration of the Customer’s MSA or the applicable Order.

2. Power

2.1 A Customer may order power to the extent offered and approved by RC, subject always to the provisions set forth below. RC will provide two power circuits for diverse power where feasible, for each customer cabinet.

2.2 A Customer’s power consumption of each of the power circuits shall not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the power rating stated in each Order (“the Limit”). In the event that Customer’s power consumption exceeds the Limit, RC reserves the right to impose additional charges on Customer which the Customer shall be liable to pay and based on a power factor of 0.8. Customer shall, within three (3) days’ of notice of such breach from RC, execute an Order in respect of the power used by Customer in excess of what Customer had purchased from RC (the “Excess Power”), failing which, Customer shall be deemed to have accepted such Order and RC shall be entitled to invoice Customer for the Excess Power consumed, in accordance with the terms of the MSA.

2.3 Power circuits and power sockets

(i) Power circuits will be delivered to power sockets located under the floor board. Upon a Customer’s request, RC may supply suitable power distribution units (“Power Strips”) to the Customer.

(ii) Alternatively, the Customer may supply Power Strips which shall conform to local standards for power systems. Where a Customer supplies a Power Strip to power the Customer’s Equipment housed within their cage, rack or cabinet, the Customer shall:

(a) comply with minimum local safety and electrical standards (as agreed with RC);

(b) only connect one Power Strip to the under-floor power outlet;

For the purpose of extending the number of socket outlets available from an electrical circuit (or for any other reason); failing which, RC may request that the Customer removes a Power Strip if RC believes that such Power Strip does not conform to the requisite local safety standards or is in contravention of RC’s Policies.

2.4 Customer shall not engage in Cross-Feeding of power. “Cross-Feeding” means the unauthorized connection of a power circuit to a cabinet, other than the cabinet specified by RC for such use. RC may, where requested by Customer, provide Customer with higher power rating configurations, based on RC’s current pricing for such Additional Services.

2.5 The power configuration of each cabinet within Customer’s Licensed Space must be approved by RC in writing and must comply with:

(i) RC’s engineering guidelines and specifications;

(ii) such requirements prescribed by RC’s landlords from time to time; and

(iii) the laws, regulations, codes and directives that are applicable in the country where the RC Data Centre in question is located.

2.6 RC may independently inspect the power configuration of any cabinet within Customer’s Licensed Space, at any time.

2.7 RC may direct Customer

(i) to alter the power configuration of Customer’s Equipment;

(ii) to disconnect power supply to the Customer’s Equipment; or

(iii) to remove from any Customer’s Equipment, forthwith, if RC in its sole discretion deems that the continued operation of Customer’s Equipment:

(a) causes a threat to safety (including any risk of fire or other hazard) to the operations of the RC Data Centre or the RC Data Centre Property; or

(b) unreasonably interferes with or threatens to interfere with the operations of RC, another Customer or any other person or entity that is licensing, sublicensing, leasing or subleasing space or otherwise utilizing any portion of the RC Data Centre or the RC Data Centre Property.

(d) is consuming or has consumed excessive power.

3. Installation and Procurement of equipment for Customer

3.1 Customer may request that (i) RC installs equipment for the Customer; and/or (ii) RC procures equipment as specified by Customer for and on behalf of Customer. RC, at its discretion, may agree to perform such installation and/or procure such work.

B. NOTIFICATIONS

1. RC will provide contact information for each Customer to use at any time in the event of an emergency or otherwise as needed by Customer. Each Customer may contact their Account Manager for a copy of the contact telephone numbers in respect of the local RC Data Centre.

2. Each Customer will designate one or more persons whom RC may contact at any time in the event of an emergency, scheduled maintenance notifications or otherwise as needed by RC. Each Customer will provide to RC a means of contacting such persons at any and all times. RC prefers, but does not require, that such contact method be the telephone number of a twenty-four (24) hour operations centre staffed by persons familiar with Customer’s use of the Services, and its Licensed Space and Customer’s Equipment located within Customer’s Licensed Space.

C. NETWORK SYSTEM NUMBERS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Unless otherwise expressly provided in an Order, each Customer will be responsible for obtaining telecommunications services as needed from the carrier of its choice.

2. Each Customer may install and maintain Customer Cross-Connects. RC has no obligation to install, maintain or repair any Customer Cross-Connects.

If RC removes items pursuant to the prior sentence, RC will temporarily store such items in a safe place for seven (7) days, except that if such items are empty cartons or packaging, RC may discard such items instead of storing them.
