Web Site Hosts - Terms and Conditions

March 2005

By using Web Site Hosts hosting services you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions.

(1) All services provided by Web Site Hosts may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission or storage of any information, data or material in violation of any United States or Minnesota law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret or other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Web Site Hosts from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other parties.
NOTE: Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on any Web Site Hosts server. Web Site Hosts will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
NOTE: Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a Web Site Hosts server or using an email address that is maintained on an Web Site Hosts machine is STRICTLY prohibited. Web Site Hosts will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

(2) Any access to other networks connected to Web Site Hosts must comply with the rules appropriate for that other network.

(3) Payment is due upon receipt of invoice. All payments must be in US dollars and withdrawn at a US bank. Accounts are in default if payment is not received within 30 days after date of invoice. If a subscriber's check is returned by the bank as unredeemable, the subscriber will be deemed to be in default, and will be liable for a "returned check" charge of $29.00.

(4) Accounts unpaid 30 days after date of invoice may have their service interrupted. Such interruption does not relieve the subscriber from the obligation to pay the monthly charge. Only a written request to terminate the service relieves the subscriber of obligation to pay the monthly account charge.

(5) Accounts in default are subject to a late payment charge of $5 and an interest charge of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance. If the subscriber defaults, the subscriber agrees to pay Web Site Hosts its reasonable expenses, including solicitor and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under these Terms and Conditions.

(6) All files, information and mail under the account will be preserved for 15 days from the date the payment is due. If the payment is not received after 15 days, all files, information and mail under the account will be deleted. If the subscriber wishes to use the service again, the subscriber must re-apply as a new subscriber. For this, an activation fee will be required. Restoration of site files from backup sites will be an additional charge.

(7) Web Site Hosts may at any time delete, modify or change files stored under a users account to insure the integrity of our servers.

(7) The subscriber agrees that Web Site Hosts has the right to delete all data, files or other information that is stored in the subscriber's account if the subscriber's account with Web Site Hosts is terminated, for any reason, by either Web Site Hosts or the subscriber.

(8) System accounts cannot be transferred or used by anyone other than the subscriber.

(9) No more than one login session may be used at any time by the subscriber or any control panel account. If the subscriber has multiple accounts, the subscriber is limited to one login session per system account at any time. User programs may be run only during login sessions. Accounts which have been transferred to other parties, or show other activity in violation of this paragraph, or paragraph (8) herein, are subject to immediate cancellation.

(10) Web Site Hosts shall have the right to suspend service to the subscriber at any time, and for any reason, without notice. If such a suspension is to last for more than 2 days, the subscriber may be notified as to the reason.

(11) Service provided by Web Site Hosts may be cancelled in writing at any time by either party without penalty provided one months notice is given in writing. Web Site Hosts reserves the right to change the rate by notifying the subscriber 15 days in advance of the effective date of the change.

(12) The subscriber must certify that he or she is at least 18 years of age.

(13) If the subscriber requests that Web Site Hosts provide services not delineated herein any time during the 30-day period and thereafter, the subscriber agrees to pay Web Site Hosts's price for such services in effect at the time such service was rendered.

(14) Web Site Hosts exercises no control whatsoever over the content of the information passing through Web Site Hosts.

(c) Subject only to Web Site Hosts's liability for breach of contract (if any) pursuant to clause 16(b) above, Web Site Hosts will not be liable to the Subscriber for any claim for breach of contract, breach of statute or breach of duty in tort (including negligence) or for any claim in equity or otherwise at law for any losses or damages whether general, exemplary, punitive, direct, indirect or consequential (including any claim for loss of profits) however caused which may be suffered or incurred by the Subscriber or any third person or which may arise directly or indirectly out of or in respect of this contract or the services (or its maintenance) or by reason of any act or omission on the part of Web Site Hosts to comply with its obligations under this contract.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein contained or implied no employee, agent or director of Web Site Hosts will be liable to the Subscriber for any breach of duty or care in contract, tort, equity or otherwise in relation to the performance of obligations under this contract or in relation to the subject matter of this contract.

This contract shall prevail over any inconsistent terms and conditions in any other contract between the parties whether in correspondence or otherwise and any conditions or stipulations to the contrary are hereby excluded and extinguished. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this contract, neither party has any other responsibility or obligation to the other.

(18) Non Waiver: Failure by any party to enforce any right or obligation with respect to any matter arising in connection with this contract shall not constitute a waiver as to that matter or any other matter either then or in the future. Any waiver of any right or obligation under this contract shall only be of any force and effect if such waiver is in writing and is expressly stated to be a waiver of a specified right or obligation under this contract.

(19) Should any provision of this contract be held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court law, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this contract shall remain unaffected thereby unless otherwise stated.

(20) These Terms and Conditions supersede all previous representations, understandings or contracts and shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with terms and conditions of any order submitted. Use of Web Site Hosts Service constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
