6.2 Suspension For Ongoing Harm. Customer agrees that NetSuite may with reasonably contemporaneous telephonic notice to Customer suspend Customer’s access to the Service if NetSuite reasonably concludes that Customer use of the Service is causing immediate, material and ongoing harm to NetSuite or others. In the extraordinary event that NetSuite suspends Customer’s access to the Service, NetSuite will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the issues causing the suspension of Service, and to the extent possible agrees to limit the suspension to just that functionality allowing the harm so that the remainder of the account may continue to function. Customer agrees that NetSuite shall not be liable to Customer or to any third party for any suspension of the Service under such circumstances as described in this Section 6.2.

6.3 In The Event of Breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other party in the event of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, provided that, during the sixty (60) day period, the breaching party fails to cure such breach.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that following termination of Customer’s account and/or use of the Service, NetSuite may immediately deactivate Customer’s account and that following a reasonable period of not less than 90 days shall be able to delete Customer’s account and related Customer Data. However, in the event that Customer’s Service with NetSuite terminates, NetSuite will grant Customer temporary, limited access to the Service for the sole purpose of permitting Customer to retrieve lawful Customer Data, provided that Customer has paid in full all good faith undisputed amounts owed to NetSuite. Customer further agrees that NetSuite shall not be liable to Customer or to any third party for any termination of Customer access to the Service or deletion of Customer Data, provided that NetSuite is in compliance with the terms of this Section 6.4.

In the event that NetSuite is unable to substantially restore such functionality, Customer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and receive a pro-rata refund of the license fees paid under the Agreement for use of the Service which was paid for by Customer but not yet furnished by NetSuite as of the date of such termination.

levied in connection with the license of the Service and that, were NetSuite to assume any further liability other than as set forth herein, such consideration would of necessity be set substantially higher.

Data Security

Data Center Security

NetSuite’s production systems are located in one of the leading co-location facilities in the United States, Production web, application, and database servers along with network equipment are housed in a suite at the co-location facility which provides 24x7 security. To access the suite there are several levels of security that must be passed where each entry point provides state of the art card readers, scanners, and other access devices. Access to the facilities requires photo, encoded ID, and palm print.

Network Security

NetSuite’s network is protected by redundant firewalls and monitored for unauthorized access. Firewall logs are constantly monitored, and the logs are reviewed on a regular basis. Leading-edge firewall equipment has been chosen to protect the network. The network has been architected to be highly reliable and redundant. If a router, load balancer, or firewall should fail, there is redundancy built in that would allow failover to take place, without causing a loss of service to our customers.

Data Security and Availability

NetSuite’s uses 128-bit domestic and 64 bit international SSL encryption to protect the customer’s data as it leaves our site. NetSuite uses ssh encryption via RSA (ssh1) and DSA (ssh2) public keys for communication between servers. Oracle databases are protected by firewalls against unauthorized usage.

NetSuite’s OS and databases do not share the same passwords. Database users are restricted to a controlled list; individual activities are restricted, logged and monitored.

Data is stored on highly redundant storage systems. The Oracle DB servers are configured in either a RAID 5 or RAID 1 (mirror) configuration. The main data, and archive and redo logs are written not only to this primary storage sub system on the server, but also written to network attached storage. The network attached storage has its own redundancy and is configured for cluster failover.

Each customer owns his/her data and can export it from NetSuite, and the administrator user can export at any time. Customers can export their data from NetSuite by doing a CSV or IIF export.

Secure Application Access

NetSuite’s users access the application using password authentication which is encrypted via 128-bit SSL. The robust design of the application prevents a customer from accessing another customer’s data. There are several layers of protected servers that stand between the web page where the customer logs in and the actual data.

System Security

NetSuite uses tightly controlled passwords on its servers and network equipment. NetSuite limits access to production systems to authorized personnel only. Passwords are changed on a regular basis. Security updates to the operating systems are tracked and updated as necessary.

System Reliability

NetSuite looks at its application as well as the infrastructure as a tightly integrated system. All aspects of the system are designed to be reliable to ensure continued availability in the event that a component fails. All web and application servers are configured in a redundant manner. NetSuite has spare servers ready to deploy at a moments notice in the event of an equipment failure. The networking equipment is also configured in a manner to permit replacement equipment to be available within a few hours. NetSuite chooses equipment of the highest quality to power our application.

NetSuite has in place an expert team to provide services for server and network management, monitoring, backups, and other necessary maintenance. System administrators respond to monitoring alerts 24x7 and repair critical failures immediately.

Data and Backups

Customer data is stored on a server that is configured with RAID 5 or RAID 1 (mirror) redundancy. In the event of a disk failure, the customer will not experience an interruption of service. In addition to the server configured with RAID 5 or RAID 1, data is also stored on network attached storage which has its own built in redundancy, thus providing an extra layer of data protection.

All customer data is automatically backed up daily to a tape library system. Tapes are taken offsite to a secure location that is designed to safeguard tapes under almost any environmental condition. The offsite facility exceeds industry storage requirements and is 100 miles away from the data center. Unless Customer provides written approval, NetSuite shall not update or provide any maintenance upgrades or updates to the systems during the last week or first week of any calendar quarter.
