By using the website hosting
services (hereinafter the "Services," defined further below), you
signify your agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this Website Hosting
Agreement (hereinafter, the "Agreement"). This Agreement is between
you, your organization (if you are entering into this Agreement on
behalf of an organization), collectively referred to herein as "you" or
"your" (and appropriate formatives), the website hosting service provider offering these services to you, if any, (the "Primary Service Provider") and the backend service provider eNom, Inc. (the "Backend Service Provider").
-
These terms and conditions may be modified from time to time.
Modifications made to this Agreement will become effective 30 days
after the modifications are posted. This Agreement shall be posted
through the interface which you use to configure and/or otherwise order
the Services (the "Services Interface"). You agree that you will check
the terms and conditions periodically and that, if you no longer agree
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, that you will stop using
the Services and that you will terminate the Services as described
below in paragraph 4.
-
The Services consist of the website hosting
package with the specific configuration which you selected or are going
to select through the Services Interface as you use the Services. You
acknowledge and understand that important service limitations
(including bandwidth limitations and other capacity matrices), pricing
(including pricing for optional Services, such as automatic capacity
upgrade in the event of overage), the term of the Service, payment
terms, and other conditions relating to the Services are conveyed
through the Services Interface and are hereby incorporated into this
Agreement.
- You are hereby informed that,
if you use a credit card to pay for the Services, that the charge for
the Services may appear under a name other than the name of the Primary
Service Provider (the name being generally descriptive of the Services)
and that, prior to contacting your credit card company in relation to
such charges, that you will first contact the Primary Service Provider
to verify the charges and the manner of billing. You agree that any
chargeback of a charge related to the Services, for whatever reason, is
a material breach of this Agreement and is grounds for termination.
- You agree that the Services
shall be provided for the term you selected through the Services
Interface. Unless you terminate the Services THROUGH THE SERVICES
INTERFACE prior to the end of the then extant Services term, you agree
that the Services may be renewed for another term of equal duration to
the immediately preceding term and that the resulting fees shall be
charged to the credit card associated with your account. You agree to
hereby waive any requirement which might otherwise be imposed by law
which would require that either the Primary Service Provider or the
Backend Service Provider obtain your affirmative consent for on-going
billings and that your continuing consent to be billed for such
renewal(s) may be presumed until such time as you terminate the
Services through the Services Interface. You agree that attempts to
terminate the Services other than through the Services Interface (such
as by sending an email to a general email address
of either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider)
are not reliable means of communication and that such a termination
attempt shall not binding until accepted and acknowledged by either the
Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider. In relation
to renewals, you further agree that it is your obligation to keep the
credit card information associated with your account current and that
neither the Primary Service Provider nor the Backend Service Provider
shall be obligated to contact you to update such information in the
event that the charges are denied.
- You agree that you may not
downgrade (reduce) the bandwidth or other capacity matrices of the
Services below the level of actual use of the Services which you
experienced in the current or previous month.
- Your use of the Services may be
suspended and/or this Agreement may be terminated if either the Primary
Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider determines that you
are or are alleged to be violating the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or any other agreement entered into by you and either the
Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider. In the event
of termination or suspension of Services under such circumstances, you
agree a) that no pre-paid fees will be refunded to you and b) that
either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider may
take control of any domain name associated with the terminated Services, provided such domain name was registered through the domain name registration services of either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider. You understand that taking control of a domain name
includes, without limitation, acts such as listing such controlling
party as the "registrant" and/or "administrative contact" for the domain name and controlling the DNS settings for the domain name.
-
Either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider may
elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and discontinue the
Services upon 30 days notice, whereupon any pre-paid fees for an unused
portion of a service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable
period of time. You further agree that, within 30 days of your initial
enrolment to receive the Services, either the Primary Service Provider
or the Backend Service Provider may elect to terminate this Agreement
without cause and that, in such event, the termination shall take
effect immediately and that any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of
your service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period
of time.
- The Services are provided
through an infrastructure which is shared by all users of the Services.
Your use of the Services may be throttled or suspended indefinitely if
your use of the Services degrades the ability of either the Primary
Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider to provide the
Services to other users of the Services.
-
You acknowledge that email
and/or online communication systems (chat, account notices, etc.) will
be the primary means of communication between yourself and the Primary
Service Provider and/or the Backend Service Provider. You acknowledge
that it is your responsibility to maintain a current email address
and physical mailing address in your contact information. You further
agree that you will regularly login to your account to obtain any
notices posted through the Services Interface. You agree that your
failure to respond to a communication from either the Primary Service
Provider or the Backend Service Provider may result in suspension or
cancellation of Services without any refund of pre-paid fees, if any.
- You acknowledge that neither
the Primary Service Provider nor Backend Service Provider are obligated
to return any data to you upon termination of this Agreement. You
acknowledge that it is your responsibility to download, make copies of,
and/or backup all data residing on the servers and other equipment
which provide the Services and to do so within the bandwidth
limitations of the Services. You acknowledge that any loss or
corruption of data which occurs due to an interruption in the Services,
regardless of the cause of the interruption, shall not be the
responsibility of the Primary Service Provider or Backend Service
Provider and that you may, following an interruption in the Services,
be required to upload the data to the servers and other equipment which
provide the Services.
- You agree that any personally
identifying information provided by you shall be used by the Primary
Service Provider according to the privacy policy of the Primary Service
Provider, if any, and by the of the Backend Service Provider according

- You further represent and
warrant that you will not allow any unauthorized third party to access
the account which you use to access the Services.
- EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR
UNPLANNED SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS: You agree that any unplanned or
unannounced interruptions in the Services shall not require a remedy
unless such unplanned or unannounced interruptions exceed 24 hours in
any 30 day period, in which case you agree that the exclusive remedy
shall be a credit toward 24 hours of hosting
for each 24 hour period of unplanned or unannounced interruptions, and
that such credit shall exclusively be applied against the fees owed for
your next period of hosting, if any, or shall be exclusively be accomplished by adjusting the end of your then-current Service term.

THE SERVICES FOR A ONE-MONTH PERIOD, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN ONE
