3. SERVICES

ETT offers a variety of services designed to assist with the operation of the Services. The basic service groups are described within this section.

ETT uses the servers of OVH, in France which is one of the biggest and most professional hosting companies in Europe. With over 120000 servers and 8 million customers, OVH has vast experience in providing top-level services to businesses around the world. OVH has all the tier-4 level requirements such as redundant networks, air conditioning, security, electricity, etc. and a hardware uptime of over 99.9%. Tier 4 data centre is considered as the most robust and less prone to failures. Tier 4 is designed to host mission critical servers and computer systems, with fully redundant subsystems (cooling, power, network links, storage etc) and compartmentalized security zones controlled by biometric access controls methods. 100% accessibility on the Dedicated Server data centre network, with the exception of scheduled maintenance works which customers will be advised of in advance. Dedicated internet connectivity is guaranteed 99.95% of the time, with the exception of scheduled maintenance works which customers will be advised of in advance. OVH guarantees 99.99% availability on the dedicated servers. The Service hosted on these servers will benefit from this availability. Our data centre provider provides a replacement host in less than 15 minutes if a host server goes down. OVH provides 24/7 hardware support in the case of a component failure. A network of detection systems monitors all servers and components permanently and alerts staff if a component has a problem. Staff will then replace the component as quickly as possible.

3.2 AVAILABILITY OF SERVICE (where the Client has chosen to use ETT’s servers


ETT will host the Services for the Client on redundant dedicated servers with hot-swappable RAID arrays. In the event of a hardware failure, in most cases, the system can simply continue to run while the defective component is swapped. In the unlikely event of a server crash, The Company has a failover server that can take over by simply routing all traffic to the second server which is kept up to date with the master server at all times. All databases are constantly replicated to the failover server so that at any time, we have 2 live copies of the Client’s database.

3.3 AVAILABILITY OF CLIENT DATA


Client data can be made available permanently on their server. If the Client provides a server to our specifications, we can set it up as a replication slave so that it is permanently synchronized with the live database. The Client can access this database directly or with a database access tool. The Client will be able to download and export their data. This service can be under the Client’s control or provided as a managed service.

3.4 BACKUP SERVICE


Every hour, we make a backup of the Service databases and copy it on an external FTP server. We can go back up to 1 month, any hour to bring back the status of the Service. In case of a security breach or data corruption, we can use our backups to go back to the last stable version of our data or analyse how the Service arrived in the current state.

3.5 SECURITY OF THE SERVICE


3.5.1 HTTPS

  All access to the server for the Service is protected by SSL. The Client gets an SSL certificate for their domain name and access over SSH, SFTP or HTTPS is exclusively protected by SSL.

3.5.2 Fail2ban

  The server runs continuous log file analysis to detect and stop suspicious activity. Known IP addresses are banned after repeated attempts on the server. All our servers are scanned by Fail2Ban to be able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts and stop suspicious activity. It bans the IP that makes too many password failures. It also updates the firewall rules to reject these IP addresses.

3.5.3 DDOS protection

  OVH servers are protected by DDOS mitigation. When the OVH network detects an attack, all traffic is passed through a ‘vacuum cleaner’ to block malicious traffic while keeping the server stable for responding to legitimate traffic. This ensures a constant availability of the servers.

3.6 SERVICE DELIVERY


During normal business hours, a basic Support Service facility is provided to assist with issues of an operational or administration nature encountered during use of the Services by the Client. The Client can contact the Company’s Support Services via telephone, Skype or e-mail.

However, the default used is as follows: When placing the service call, the Client will be asked if there is a major system impact. If the answer is YES, a P1 will be allocated. If the answer is NO, a default P2 will be allocated, or if more appropriate, a P3 or P4 as defined below:

6.1 PRIORITY P1 (CRITICAL)


A Priority ONE call is used for system faults where there is a major impact on normal operation of the system. ETT will immediately begin work on a P1 call, with the immediate goal of restoring normal operation to the system via a fault correction or a satisfactory work-around. Misuse of this priority affects the ability of ETT to respond to genuine P1 calls.

6.2 PRIORITY P2 (URGENT)


Priority TWO calls are used for system faults where normal system operation is affected to some degree and a satisfactory work-around is not available. ETT will use its best endeavours to respond to the call in the times stated in Response Times section of this document. In most cases, it is normal for ETT to respond in faster times than those stated.

6.3 PRIORITY P3 (STANDARD)


Priority THREE calls are used for system faults where a fault was detected, but normal operation is not affected. This priority of call is the default for all service calls which do not involve a hardware related fault. For software related issues, this priority allows for work to be scheduled as part of a planned maintenance update.

6.4 PRIORITY P4 (ENHANCEMENT REQUESTS)


Priority FOUR calls are used when an enhancement request is made for potential modifications to System Software.

7. RESPONSE TIMES

The priority of the call will, to some degree, dictate the most appropriate action for any given fault call, ensuring the minimum of disruption to the user and providing the early involvement of ETT management where problems are of a more serious nature.

7.1 RESPONSE DEFINITIONS


Note that resolutions may involve a “workaround” to an issue that will allow continued use of the affected component. The response times expressed bellow corresponds to business hours. The software responses are the permissible delays for the Support Services Group to return a call to the Client’s support contact to start diagnosis of the problem.

7.2 RESPONSE TARGETS

SOFTWARE
Priority Response
P1 1 hour
P2 4 hours
P3 Issue dependent
P4 Issue dependent

 

8. ESCALATION PROCEDURES

ETT will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that calls are cleared within the specified timescales detailed in Section 5. In the event that calls remain outstanding beyond the agreed times, the Support Services Group will escalate the call to ETT Senior Management, who will contact his counterpart within the Client’s organization to agree a course of action to be taken.

8.1 ESCALATION TIMES


There are two levels of escalation as shown in the table below. As a call is escalated, regular contact will be maintained at between the Company and a nominated member of the Customer’s organization.

Call Priority Escalation Level Target Exceeded by ETT Management Contact Client Management Contact
P1 Level 1
Level 2

The target times apply to normal business days, and operational hours only.

8.2 GENERAL ESCALATION NOTES


The Support Services Group will notify the Customer if it is apparent that resolution of a call may result in a protracted timescale. The Support Services Group may also escalate calls of a repetitive nature. The Client may escalate any call at any time should they deem it to be appropriate in any specific instance.

9. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

ETT’s ability to meet its obligations under the terms of this Agreement depends upon the Client meeting certain operational requirements. Inability to meet these requirements may prolong the final resolution to any given fault.


  • ETT requires all faults to be reported to the Company’s Support Services group in accordance with Call Procedures section of this document.
  • The Client should respond to requests for additional information regarding the fault in a timely manner.
  • Fault isolation efforts by ETT may result in a request for the addition of debug of the Service and/or trace statements within the affected component.
  • Whenever possible, the Client should allow use of the additional fault isolation efforts requested by ETT.
  • When appropriate, ETT will be informed of all passwords or other security measures used by the Client which control or may prohibit access to the systems.
  • The Client should provide contact names and numbers for escalation procedures.
  • The Client is responsible for informing users of potential outages which may occur during problem isolation.
  • The Client should be satisfied that faults have been fully rectified to their satisfaction before agreeing to close calls.
  • When undertaking any maintenance or other operation on any Client system, or as part of any meeting or discussion, the Client will be informed of any situation that may adversely affect the efficient and effective operation of any of their systems.
  • The Client may request that the fault originator be regularly updated as to the status of faults, if the fault has reached any point at which it has been escalated.
  • ETT will inform the Client at least 24 in advance, before installing or modifying the Service on the Client’s system. Unless the Client objects within those 24 hours ETT will assume it can proceed with the installation.

 

10. SERVICE REVIEW

The Services provided by ETT under the terms of this Agreement are subject to review and/or change as required by either party at any time. However, any such change must be documented and approved by both parties.

AGREEMENT FOR THE USE OF E-TRANSFER TECHNOLOGIES (ETT)
DIGITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DAMS)

This Agreement sets out the conditions upon which ETT will allow the Client use of its Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) including access to the ETT Blockchain Gateway. The Client is already a licensed user of ETT software and has agreed to the terms and conditions of the Licence Agreement for that software.
This Agreement is supplemental to that License Agreement, whose terms and conditions remain applicable and unchanged. Should the License Agreement be terminated for any reason, then this Agreement will automatically terminate. This Agreement will come into force upon signing by both parties and will remain in force until termination.

1. TERMINATION

This Agreement may be terminated at any time with the express written consent of both ETT and the Client. If the Client commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and such breach is considered by ETT to be a breach of security, ETT has the right to immediately terminate this Agreement. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency, of either party the other party shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to this effect. No agreement or document having as its purpose or effect the variation, extension, or deletion of any of the printed terms and conditions of this Agreement will be binding unless annexed hereto and signed on behalf of both parties by an authorized signatory. The Client accepts responsibility for moving all its managed assets out of DAMS prior to termination, regardless of the reason for termination.

2. NOTICES

All notices required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered by receipt-confirmed e-mail. All communications will be sent to the commercial addresses set forth below or to such other address as may be specified by either party to the other in accordance with this Section. Either party may change its address for notice under this Agreement by giving written notice to the other party.

3. ASSIGNMENT

Neither party may assign this agreement in part, or as a whole, without the written consent of the other.

4. FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure to meet its obligations under this Agreement due to any cause outside its reasonable control including (without limitation) acts of God, war, riot, malicious acts of damage by a third party, civil commotion, industrial dispute or fire. In the event of force majeure conditions preventing either party from fulfilling their obligation under this Agreement over a period exceeding four weeks, then the Agreement may be terminated by either party giving written notice to the other of 14 days.

5. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS

The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors and this Agreement will not establish any relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency between the parties. Neither party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other’s behalf without the other’s prior written consent.

6. CORRESPONDENCE

All correspondence between Client and ETT shall be solely through designated personnel of both companies.

7. APPLICABLE LAW & JURISDICTION

The agreement shall be in all respects construed and will operate as a Spanish contract and in conformity with Spanish law. All legal fees, including reasonable lawyer fees and court fees, will be paid to the prevailing party by the unsuccessful party.

8. SECURITY OF CLIENT DATA

The Client accepts that security of DAMS requires strict management of keys and passwords and that the loss or theft of those means of access could render digital assets permanently inaccessible to the Client. The Client therefore accepts that ETT cannot be held responsible for any loss of assets caused by the Client’s non-respect of reasonable security procedures. In particular, the Client must keep safe all keys and passwords used to access DAMS outside of the DAMS system or any ETT software. The Client is also responsible for choosing sensible passwords and deciding which users have access to the system. The Client accepts that if ETT has any concerns about security the Client must, upon notification from ETT by any method, immediately change relevant passwords or procedures. The Client must establish a “Cold Wallet” which is not related in any way to any ETT system and for which the private key is kept off-line and known only to the Client or those to whom the Client grants access.
Prior to connecting to the Blockchain Gateway, the Client agrees to ensure to a minimum set of security procedures including but not limited to:

  • Set up and approval of address generation policy
  • Set up and approval of treasury management policy
  • Set up and approval of key management policy
  • Creation, uploading and verification of cold wallet address
  • Creation of a Hot Wallet master key
  • Validation of key management policy including safeguarding of master key and sharing with minimum number of users

The Client is fully responsible for all activity that occurs under its DAMS account and the Blockchain Gateway. If ETT has any concerns about the legality or legitimacy of the use of DAMS and the Blockchain Gateway it reserves the right to suspend or terminate the DAMS account for the Client, asking the Client to move all its managed assets out of DAMS prior to termination.

9. ACCESS TO DAMS AND BLOCKCHAIN GATEWAY

DAMS is a hosted digital currency wallet enabling the Client to store, track and manage the balances of the supported digital assets which may use third-party Digital Currency Platforms. Where this is the case, it is the responsibility of the Client to register on those third-party Digital Currency Platforms.
Given that access to DAMS and the Blockchain Gateway allows access to digital assets, the Client accepts that ETT reserves the right to request absolute proof of identity of anyone to whom access is granted or of anyone attempting to gain access. ETT reserves the right to refuse access to DAMS and the ETT Blockchain Gateway if it deems that the person requesting access has not had sufficient training or if minimum standards of set up have not been met.

10. LIABILITY

ETT will process digital assets in accordance with the instructions received from the Client. The Client shall be responsible for verifying all transaction information prior to submitting instructions through DAMS. Digital assets transactions cannot be reversed once they have been broadcast to a third-party Digital Currency Platform. The Client agrees and recognizes that ETT is not responsible for any claims for unauthorised or incorrect transactions processed through its DAMS account.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that ETT is not responsible for any aspect of the information, content, or services contained in any third-party Digital Currency Platform accessible or linked to from DAMS and the Blockchain Gateway. Therefore, the Client agrees that neither ETT nor its affiliates, service providers, nor any of its directors, agents, joint ventures, employees or representatives will be liable for any claims, demands or damages of any kind arising out of or connected with the transactions and operations processed on the third-party Digital Currency Platform through DAMS.
The Client acknowledges and accepts the risks of managing digital assets and agrees that ETT is not responsible for such management and not liable for any loss of value that may be experienced as a result of the above.
Digital assets are not regulated by a Central Bank. ETT is not a financial services provider, providing just the software for managing third party digital assets.
