This Agreement governs Customer’s use of Kickassd’s Web Hosting service. In these Terms, Kickassd and Customer are referred to jointly as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”. The Parties expressly acknowledge that the Service is neither intended nor fit for use by consumers.
Please read this agreement carefully. By agreeing to our terms of service on the account signup form, signing up, communicating with us, paying for and/or using our services, you are agreeing to be bound by the conditions and terms of this agreement, and our privacy policy.
Agreement Documents
An agreement is formed between the Parties when Kickassd receives an appropriately filled-in registration or order form (“Order”) which the Customer has submitted through a registration and/or purchasing procedure on Kickassd’s website. In connection with the registration procedure the Customer will create a service account.

Kickassd will setup an account for a Customer after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is the Customer’s responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) the Customer is signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or Kickassd needs to contact the Customer, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times.
Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of the Customer’s account. In high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase.

The Personal Data processed by Kickassd on behalf of the Customer may include e.g. Personal Data of the Customer’s employees and end-customers, such as contact details of the aforementioned data subjects. The Customer acknowledges that due to the nature of the Service, Kickassd cannot control and has no obligation to verify Personal Data the Customer transfers to Kickassd for processing on behalf of the Customer when the Customer uses the Service. The Customer ensures that the Customer is entitled to transfer the Personal Data to Kickassd so that Kickassd may lawfully process the Personal Data on behalf of the Customer in accordance with this Agreement.

Kickassd’s assistance obligations
To respond to requests from individuals exercising their rights as foreseen in applicable data protection law, such as the right of access and the right to rectification or erasure, the Customer shall primarily use the corresponding functions of the Services, such as the Kickassd Control Panel. Kickassd shall provide the Customer with commercially reasonable assistance, without undue delay, taking into account the nature of the processing. Kickassd shall further provide the Customer with commercially reasonable assistance in ensuring compliance with the Customer’s obligations to perform security and data protection assessments, breach notifications and prior consultations of the competent supervisory authority, as set out in the applicable data protection law, taking into account the nature of the processing and the information available to Kickassd. In case such assistance requires extensive measures from Kickassd, the Customer shall pay additional reasonable remuneration to Kickassd for handling such assistance requests. In addition, Kickassd shall, and shall procure that its personnel (including its subcontractors’ personnel) shall:
only process Personal Data in accordance with the Customer’s written instructions and not for Kickassd’s own purposes;
ensure that individuals processing Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.
Transfers of Personal Data
The Customer accepts that Kickassd may have Personal Data processed and accessible by its subprocessors outside the Customer’s country of domicile to provide the Service. In case the processing is subject to any EU data protection law and Personal Data is transferred from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to a subprocessor for processing in any country outside the EEA that is not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, Kickassd provides for appropriate safeguards by standard contractual clauses, adopted or approved by the European Commission and applicable to the processing by the non-EEA subprocessor or by any other appropriate safeguard as foreseen under Regulation.
Breaches
Kickassd shall, without undue delay after having become aware of it, inform the Customer in writing about any data breaches relating to Personal Data and any other events where the security of Personal Data processed on behalf of the Customer has been compromised.

description of the nature of the breach;
name and contact details of Kickassd’s contact point where more information can be obtained;
description of the measures taken by Kickassd to address the breach, including, where appropriate, measures to mitigate its possible adverse effects.
Deletion and return of Personal Data
Kickassd shall not take any action to intentionally erase any Personal Data processed on behalf of the Customer, without the Customer’s explicit request. Personal Data shall be processed under this Agreement until the Customer has ceased to use the Service. Within a reasonable time after the termination or expiry of this Agreement, or after the Customer has permanently ceased to use the Service, Kickassd shall permanently delete Personal Data from its storage media, except to the extent that Kickassd is under a statutory obligation to continue storing such Personal Data. On the Customer’s request, Kickassd shall confirm the deletion in writing. The obligation to delete Personal Data shall not apply to Personal Data contained in regular back-up copies of comprehensive datasets from which the individual deletion of Personal Data would not be possible without significant efforts or costs.
Confidentiality
The Parties may exchange confidential information during the performance of this Agreement. Confidential information shall mean any information which is marked as confidential or which should be understood as confidential, irrespective of its form of storage or disclosure. All confidential information shall remain the property of the disclosing Party and the receiving Party shall keep confidential and refrain from using such confidential information otherwise than for the purposes of this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and after the termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any information of or relating to a Party or that Party’s personnel, suppliers, contractors, customers or end-users, which information is obtained or detected by the other Party or processed or generated in the course of providing or receiving the Service shall be deemed confidential information of that Party. Each Party shall promptly upon termination of the Service cease using confidential material and information received from the other Party and use reasonable means to destroy such material.
