Common use of Network Unavailability Clause in Contracts

Network Unavailability. Each of the parties acknowledges that ---------------------- the Internet network or any of the networks or equipment referred to herein may be unavailable periodically for the purposes of maintenance and/or upgrades. Each of the parties further acknowledges that periodic service outages, known as "brownouts," may occur in connection with the network. Each of the parties shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize any such interruptions and brownouts with respect to equipment or other aspects of the network and network infrastructure which it controls. Each party agrees to hold the other party harmless of any and all losses arising to such party and/or any third parties as a result of "brownouts," service interruptions and server unavailability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that either Net2Phone or IDT suffers a "brownout" from the equipment or rights of access referenced in this Section 1 for any reason, IDT or Net2Phone, as the case may be, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a rebate or other concession from any third party which may have responsibility for such unavailability. In case either party receives any such rebate or concession, such party shall share any such rebate or concession with the other in a manner reflecting the relative loss of usage incurred by each of Net2Phone and IDT.
