| Web Hosting Acceptable Use Policy |
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 My-WebHoster.com (the "Backend
Service Provider" or "MWH").
- 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 to the privacy policy posted on the website.

or otherwise posted on your website by you and/or by the users of your
website; b) that your website and your use of the Services will not

including claims relating to infringement of intellectual property
rights or claims relating to the products or services which you may
provide or offer through the website hosted through the Services.
- 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.
- LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY: YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER NOR
BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY (A) SUSPENSION OR LOSS

APPLICATION FOR THE SERVICES; OR (H) LOSS OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM
THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD.
YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER NOR BACKEND
SERVICE PROVIDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS)
REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING

PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER OR BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER HAVE BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM
AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER OR THE
BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE
SERVICES FOR A ONE-MONTH PERIOD, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, THE LIABILITY OF THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER
AND/OR BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW.
- INDEMNIFICATION: YOU AGREE TO
RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER AND BACKEND

INVOLVING A THIRD PARTY AND WHICH IS RELATED TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, EITHER THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER AND/OR BACKEND SERVICE
PROVIDER MAY SEEK WRITTEN ASSURANCES FROM YOU IN WHICH YOU PROMISE TO
INDEMNIFY AND HOLD SUCH PARTIES HARMLESS FROM THE COSTS AND LIABILITIES
