This Master Service Agreement shall constitute a binding contractual agreement between ModeLayer Technologies, Inc., and the subscriber of services ("Customer"). The Master Service Agreement shall include the Terms of Service (TOS), Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), the Service Level Agreement (SLA) and the Privacy Agreement (PA). Customer agrees to be bound to all agreements found herein.
Note: ModeLayer reserves the right to supplement and/or amend, at any time, the terms and conditions of its Master Service Agreement, including the TOS, AUP, SLA, and Privacy Agreement. ModeLayer will provide notice to its Customers through the Portal of any changes affecting cancellation, payment of fees, or the SLA. It is the Customer’s responsibility to review ModeLayer policies on a frequent basis to ensure compliance because the Master Service Agreement in place during your most current month applies, not the MSA which was in place when you registered. Changes requested by Customer to any of these agreements or to the Master Service Agreement must be agreed to in writing by ModeLayer.
Customer agrees to the following terms of service:
1. Term and Termination: Unless requesting Hourly Services as defined in paragraph 4 below, Customer agrees to a month to month contract term for services unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The month to month contract for services is automatically renewed each month in perpetuity subject to written cancellation by the Customer. Please carefully review ModeLayer cancellation policy set forth in Paragraph 9 below. ModeLayer may terminate this Agreement upon non-payment as set forth in paragraph 11 below. At its sole discretion, ModeLayer may terminate this Agreement if Customer violates any terms and conditions of ModeLayer's AUP.
2. Monthly Service Fees: Fees for service(s) ordered by the Customer shall begin on the date of the initial order and that date shall serve as the monthly anniversary date (“Anniversary Billing Date”) for all future billings including one time fees, upgrades, additional services, cancellations and service credits. If you do not pay the bill before the due date by 2 days , termination will done automatically in the same due date.
3. Upgrade Fees: Upgrades ordered on the Anniversary Billing Date will be billed for a full month service and will continue each month on the Anniversary Billing Date. Upgrades ordered after the normal Anniversary Billing Date will be pro-rated to the next anniversary date and billed as a one time pro-rata charge. Future charges will appear as full monthly fees added to your existing Anniversary Billing Date.
4. Hourly Service Fees: For any services offered by modelayer.com.eg on an hourly basis (‘Hourly Services”), Customer shall specify the period of time for which the Hourly Services are requested, or cancel at any time. The minimum period of time for which Hourly Services may be requested is one hour and Customer will be billed in full hourly increments, and no breakdown by minutes shall be permitted. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the MSA, Customers who request Hourly Services agree to all terms and conditions in modelayer.com.eg's Master Service Agreement, including but not limited to these Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy. Customers will be billed for Hourly Services and receive any Service Level credits, if applicable, on the Anniversary Billing Date (as set forth and defined in paragraph 2 above).
5. Additional Service Fees: Additional services, not including Hourly Services, ordered on the Anniversary Billing Date will be billed for the full month service and will continue each month on the Anniversary Billing Date. Additional services ordered after the normal Anniversary Billing Date will be pro-rated to the next anniversary date and billed as a one time pro-rata charge. Future charges will appear as full monthly fees added to your existing Anniversary Billing Date.

Service credits shall not be issued as cash back to the Customer nor shall the service credits be transferable to other account holders. Service credits shall expire if Customer's account is fully terminated.
9. Cancellation: Because cancellation is automated, ModeLayer requires a written cancellation notice via the customer portal, a minimum of 72 hours prior to (GMT+2) on the Anniversary Billing Date for discontinuance or downgrades of month to month services. Failure to supply the requisite 72 hour written notice of cancellation will result in a full billable monthly cycle prior to cancellation. Any server cancellation prior to the minimum deadline will remain online until the automated process reclaims your server on the Anniversary Billing Date. Notice of written cancellation is required through the online Customer portal located at http://modelayer.com.eg. All Customer data remaining after the cancellation date will be destroyed for security and privacy reasons, unless otherwise required by law.

Section 512(c)(3); if you do not understand the language please seek independent advice):
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive copyright that has allegedly been infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on that site.

- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complaining Party is the owner, or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

How to Make a Counter Notification:
If you are a ModeLayer client, i.e., subscriber, and you feel that material you have placed online that has been removed following an infringement complaint is in fact not an infringement, you may file a counter notification. 17 U.S.C. Section 512 (g)(3) requires that to be valid, the counter notification must be written and addressed to our agent (listed above) and must provide the following information (the list below comes straight from the statute; if you do not understand the language please seek independent advice):
- A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
- The subscriber's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
ModeLayer is not required to respond to counter notifications that do not meet the requirements above.
Our designated agent will present your counter notification to the Complaining Party. Once your counter notification has been delivered, ModeLayer is allowed under the provisions of 17 U.S.C. Section 512 to restore the removed material in no less than 10, nor more than 14, business days, unless the Complaining Party notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you, the subscriber, from engaging in infringing activity related to the material on ModeLayer's system or network.
Misrepresentations:
Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section:
- that material or activity is infringing, or
- that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification
shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorney's fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized licensee, or by ModeLayer, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of ModeLayer relaying upon such misrepresentations in removing or ceasing to disable access to it.
