such information except that the Buyer retains the right to
restrict contact as described previously.

that will provide information to the Seller and which are
necessary for delivering an e-product and which will be able to

Buyers
living in locations that require custom duties and/or VAT taxes to
be collected understand that, unless custom duties are collected
at the point of sale by the Seller, the Buyer remains responsible
for payment of custom duties and taxes at the time the product is
received. If it should happen that the Seller's courier or freight
account is charged for custom duties and tax, instead of the Buyer
paying referenced charges, then the Buyer hereby authorizes the
Seller to bill the Buyer's credit card for said charges or for the
return of goods if they are refused at the point of destination.
Section
VII

of these requirements may be liable for civil or criminal
prosecution and agrees to pay liquidated damages of an amount the
equivalent of US$10,000 per fraudulent transaction, plus actual
damages, and agrees that all information collected by this website
may be used for prosecution and may be turned over to law
enforcement agencies or to credit card companies and merchant
service providers.
If the true
and/or authorized owner of the credit card attempts to commit
fraud upon the Seller, he authorizes each and every credit card
company or merchant service provider to disclose to the Seller all
information that could be construed as proof of credit card fraud.

who attempts to perpetrate a fraud upon Seller involving the use
of a credit card herewith gives authorization for the Seller to
access all credit information about the Buyer from credit
reporting agencies and also authorizes the Seller to discover all
relevant information from any source about the fraudulent
practices of the Buyer and to reveal such information to credit
reporting agencies, credit card companies, merchant service
providers, and law enforcement agencies.
Buyer
agrees that if he uses trickery to receive more than one refund,
or if he causes a fraudulent dispute claim that results in a
chargeback against the Seller's account, that the Seller is
authorized to re-charge the Buyer's credit card that was used for
the original purchase to the extent that will make the Seller
whole. Buyer agrees to, in addition to actual damages, pay to the

SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERNING
HOSTING AND DATABASE/WEB PROTECTED DATA STORAGE PACKAGES
(HOSTING SERVICES)
IX.A.
Term and Payment for Hosting Services.
Term.
This Purchase Agreement will be for a "Term" of one (1)
month from the date the Services are first provided by Seller.
This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal
Term ) at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term for a
period of thirty (30) days unless Buyer provides Seller with
written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days before the
end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, whichever is then
applicable. To provide notice of termination, Buyer must submit a
ticket to the billing department via the web-based account
management area (which will be set up upon Buyers first
order) to initiate the cancellation of service. Said account
management area is hereinafter called the Account Management
Area, and shall reflect the current, due and paid invoices.
Termination.
Subject to other provisions herein, this Agreement may be
terminated: (i) by Buyer or Seller during any Renewal Term,
without cause, by giving the other party thirty (30) days prior
written notice; (ii) by Seller in the event of nonpayment by Buyer
as provided in below; and (iii) by Seller, at any time, without
notice, if, in Seller's sole judgment, Buyer is in violation of
any terms or conditions of the Acceptable Use Policies
(hereinafter defined and sometimes called AUP). If
Buyer terminates this Agreement, or if Seller terminates this
Agreement due to Buyers breach, before the end of the
Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable,
Buyer will be required to pay immediately all fees and costs
accrued before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees
for each month remaining in the term and any other amounts Buyer
owe to Seller under this Agreement.
Charges.
Buyer will pay all charges for Buyers use of the Hosting
Service at the then current sales prices. Buyer is responsible for
paying all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added,
excise duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the
Hosting Service, other than taxes based on Seller's net income.
Payment.
Buyer will pay all charges for the first month of Hosting Service
in advance on the first day of the Initial Term. Buyer will pay
all subsequent charges for Hosting Service in advance on the
anniversary day of each month according to the then current price
for the Hosting Service. Buyer must pay for the Hosting Services
by credit card or PayPal, unless other arrangements have been
approved by Seller. Payments and invoicing by United States Postal
Service mail will result in fees that are additional to the
regular Hosting Services fees. Furthermore, each bounced check
shall be assessed a $25.00 fee. If Buyer pays for Hosting Service
by check, the additional fee shall be One Dollar ($1.00) per month
if Buyer accepts email invoices and downloads the monthly invoice
from the Account Management Area. If Buyer wants monthly invoices
mailed by Seller to Buyer via United States Postal Service First
Class Mail, there will be an additional fee of Two Dollars ($2.00)
charged per month above the regular Hosting Services monthly fee.
Buyers failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within
fifteen (15) days of the applicable due date is a material breach
of this Agreement, justifying Seller to suspend its performance.
Should Buyer fail to pay the fees and applicable taxes due within
thirty (30) days of the due date, then Seller shall terminate this
Agreement and shall destroy all data stored in Buyers
Hosting Service account. The storage of any backup data that
exists prior to the thirty (30) day breach shall be the
responsibility of Buyer and Buyer shall have no recourse against
Seller for loss of data due to non-payment. If Seller terminates
this Agreement for Buyers material breach, then Buyer will
be required to pay immediately all fees and costs accrued before
the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for each month
remaining in the term and any other amounts owed to Seller under
this Agreement. Buyer is responsible for any costs that Seller
incurs in enforcing collection, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, court costs and collection agency fees. To reinstate Hosting
Services, Seller must pay for six (6) months of Hosting Service
in advance on the first day such Hosting Service is reinstated and
any fees associated with reinstating the Hosting Service.
Refund
and Disputes. Except for the initial ten (10) day trial period
described above, all payments to Seller are nonrefundable. This
includes any applicable setup fees and subsequent charges
regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be
reported within sixty (60) days of the time the dispute occurred.
If Buyer disputes a charge to his or her credit card issuer that,
in Seller's sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions
of this Agreement and/or AUP, Buyer agrees to pay Seller an "Investigation
Fee" of $100.00.
IX.B.
Use of Hosting Service
Acceptable
Use Policies (herein sometimes called AUP). The
AUP governs the general policies and procedures for use of the
Hosting Service. The AUP is posted below and may be updated from
time to time. BY USING THE HOSTING SERVICE, BUYER AGREES TO BE
BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THE AUP AND ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE TERMS.
SELLER MAY TERMINATE BUYERS ACCOUNT WITHOUT NOTICE FOR ANY
VIOLATION OF THE AUP OR THIS AGREEMENT.
Domain
Names. Buyer is responsible for registering his or her own
domain. Upon registering Buyers domain name, Buyer is bound
by the terms of the registration service's then current domain
name policy and the policies of the national DNS registration
authorities. Seller will not refund any fees that Buyer paid with
respect to the registration of a domain name that Buyer is unable
to use. All new web-hosting accounts involving new domains will be
set up and entered into Sellers DNS servers within 3 to 5
business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this
process may sometimes require up to 7 business days. New
web-hosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from
another provider to Seller will require a minimum of seven (7)
days to be set up and entered into Sellers DNS servers. In
some cases, such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to
the unpredictable nature of the transfer process, no guarantees
are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer may
take. If Buyer cancels service during the transfer period for any
reason, all charges are considered earned.
Security.
Buyer is solely responsible for any security breaches affecting
servers or accounts under Buyers control. If Buyers
server is responsible for or involved in an attack on or
unauthorized access into another server or system, Seller or
Sellers provider will shut it down immediately. Buyer will
pay any charges resulting from the cost to correct security
breaches affecting Seller, its provider, or any of its other
customers. In part, this means that if Buyer has installed PHP or
cgi scripts, Buyer is responsible for updating those scripts when
updates become available.
Intellectual
Property Rights & Buyers Warranties and Representations
to Seller. Buyer warrants, represents, and covenants to Seller
that: (a) Buyer is at least 18 years of age if an individual, (b)
Buyer possesses the legal right and ability to enter into this
Agreement; (c) Buyer will use the Hosting Service only for lawful
purposes and in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable
policies and guidelines, including the AUP; and (d) Buyers
content does not and will not infringe or violate any right of any
third party (including any intellectual property rights) or
violate any applicable law, regulation or ordinance.
IP
Numbers. Seller or Sellers provider will maintain and
control ownership of all Internet protocol ("IP ")
numbers and addresses that Seller or Sellers provider may
assign to Buyer. Seller or Sellers provider may, in their
sole discretion, change or remove any and all IP numbers and
addresses.
Third
Party Software. Seller or its provider may provide Buyer with
access to other third party software and/or services ("Third
Party Products ") through reseller relationships. Sellers
provider has established agreements with certain commercial
vendors, including without limitation, Microsoft Corporation ("Third
Party Vendors"). Unless otherwise notified, Buyer understands
that product support for Third Party Products is provided by
Seller or Sellers provider and not by the Third Party
Vendor. Seller, Sellers provider, and/or any Third Party
Vendor make no representations or warranties, express or implied,
regarding any Third Party Products. BUYER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES
AND AGREES THAT USE OF THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS IS AT BUYER'S SOLE
RISK AND SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS"
AND WITHOUT REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND FROM SELLER,
SELLERS PROVIDER OR ANY THIRD PARTY VENDOR, INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, LACK OF VIRUSES, ACCURACY OR
COMPLETENESS OF RESPONSES OR RESULTS, CORRESPONDENCE TO
DESCRIPTION, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER, SELLERS
PROVIDER NOR ANY THIRD PARTY VENDOR WILL BE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL,
ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCT.
BUYER AGREES TO OBSERVE THE TERMS OF ANY LICENSE AND/OR APPLICABLE
END USER SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT FOR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS AND AGREES
THAT BUYER SHALL BE FULLY LIABLE TO THIRD PARTY VENDORS, SELLER
AND SELLERS PROVIDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY IMPROPER USE OF
SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR VIOLATION OF LICENSE AGREEMENTS WITH
THEM AND/OR APPLICABLE END USER SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENTS.
Buyer shall
not (i) remove, modify or obscure any copyright, trademark or
other proprietary rights notices that appear on any Third Party
Product or that appear during use of any Third Party Product; or
(ii) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any Third Party
Product, except and only to the extent that such activity is
expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this
limitation.
Enforcement
Actions. Seller reserves the right to suspend or terminate the
Hosting Service immediately or take any other corrective action it
deems appropriate in its sole discretion if, in the sole judgment
of Seller, Buyers server is the source or target of any
violation of the AUP or for any other reason which Seller chooses.
If inappropriate activity is detected, all of Buyers
accounts in question will be deactivated until an investigation is
complete. Prior notification to Buyer is not assured. In some
cases, law enforcement will be contacted regarding the activity.
These rights of action, however, do not obligate Seller to monitor
or exert editorial control over the information made available for
distribution via the Hosting Service. If Seller takes corrective
action because of a possible violation, Seller will not refund to
Buyer any fees paid in advance of the corrective action.
Disclosure
Rights. The AUP specifically prohibits the use of the Hosting
Service for illegal activities. Therefore, Buyer agrees that
Seller may disclose any and all of Buyers information
including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc.
to any law enforcement agent who makes a written request without
further consent or notification to Buyer. In addition, Seller
shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this
Agreement.
Disclaimed
Warranties. Seller exercises no control over, and accepts no
responsibility for, the content of the information passing through
Seller or Sellers providers host computers, network
hubs and points of presence, or the Internet. USE OF THE SERVICES
OR ANY INFORMATION THAT MAY BE OBTAINED THEREFROM IS AT YOUR OWN
RISK. ALL SERVICES PERFORMED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PERFORMED "AS
IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY AGAINST FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE
INCLUDING, ANY FAILURE BECAUSE OF COMPUTER HARDWARE OR
COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. SELLER DOES NOT MAKE AND DISCLAIMS, AND
BUYER WAIVES ALL RELIANCE ON, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES,
ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING THE SERVICES, INCLUDING
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING,
COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE IN TRADE. SELLER DOES NOT WARRANT
THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY
SECURE.
IX.C.
Limitation and Exclusion of Liability on Hosting Service
Limitations.
IN NO EVENT WILL SELLER OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ALTERATION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF
INFORMATION DISTRIBUTED OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION VIA THE
SERVICES THROUGH ACCIDENT, FRAUDULENT MEANS OR DEVICES. NEITHER
SELLER NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL HAVE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO
SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
EVEN IF SELLER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE
DAMAGES. THE LIABILITY OF SELLER AND ITS SUPPLIERS TO BUYER FOR
ANY REASON AND UPON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT
BUYER ACTUALLY PAID TO SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE

ACCRUED. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE
AGGREGATE, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATIONS, AND OTHER TORTS.
THE FEES FOR THE SERVICES SET BY SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT HAVE
BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE BASED UPON THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK.
ACCORDINGLY, BUYER RELEASES SELLER AND ITS SUPPLIERS FROM ANY AND
ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, AND CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF THE
LIMITATION STATED HEREIN.
Interruption
of Service. Seller and its suppliers are not liable for any
temporary delay, outages or interruptions of the Hosting Services.
Further, Seller is not liable for any delay or failure to perform
its obligations under this Agreement, where the delay or failure
results from any act of God or other cause beyond its reasonable
control (including, any mechanical, electronic, communications or
third-party supplier failure).
Indemnification.
In agreeing to Sellers AUP and this Agreement, Buyer agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its provider, its
employees, directors, partners, representatives and affiliates,
for any violation by Buyer or Buyers customers of the AUP or
this Agreement that results either in loss to Seller or the
bringing of any claim against Seller by any third-party. For
example, if Seller is sued because of Buyer or Buyers
customer's activity related to the Hosting Service, Buyer will pay
any damages awarded against Seller, its provider, its employees,
directors, partners, representatives and affiliates, plus all
costs and attorney's fees.
IX.D.

the prior written consent of Seller, and any attempted assignment

done to Buyer's server and any other requirement affected by the
security breach. The labor used to rectify any such damage is
categorized as emergency security breach recovery and is currently

may be directed to abuse@InterXstream.com
System
And Network Security. Violations of system or network security
are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability.
Seller or Sellers provider may investigate incidents
involving such violations and may involve and will cooperate with
law enforcement if a criminal violation is suspected. Examples of
system or network security violations include, without limitation,
the following:
(1)
Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks,
including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of
a system or network or to breach security or authentication

system without express authorization of the owner of the system or
network.

(5)High-risk
services, which are services which tend to attract denial of
service attacks, are strictly prohibited. This includes, but is
not limited to, IRC related services and selling of shell
accounts.
(6)
Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for
the cost of labor to clean up and correct any damage done to the
operation of the network and business operations supported by the
network, and to respond to complaints incurred by Seller or Sellers
provider. Such labor is categorized as emergency security breach
recovery and is currently charged at $195 USD per hour required.
Inquiries regarding security matters may be directed to
abuse@InterXstream.com. Seller and Sellers provider are
concerned with the privacy of online communications and web sites.
In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than
other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice
telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise
compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, Seller and Sellers
provider urge Buyer to assume that all of their online
communications are insecure. Seller and Sellers provider
cannot take responsibility for the security of information
transmitted over the hosting facilities.
Password
Protection. Buyer is responsible for protecting Buyers
password and for any authorized or unauthorized use made of Buyers
password. Buyer will not use or permit anyone to use the Hosting
Service to guess passwords or to access other systems or networks
without authorization. Seller and Sellers provider will
fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the detection
and prosecution of illegal activity.
Contact
Information. Buyer is responsible for maintaining current
contact information in the Account Management Area so that the
email address is always reachable even in the event that servers
are being shut down.
Internet
Etiquette. Buyer is expected to be familiar with and to practice
good Internet etiquette (Netiquette). Buyer will comply with the
rules appropriate to any network to which Seller may provide
access. Buyer should not post, transmit, or permit Internet access
to information that Buyer desires to keep confidential. Buyer is
not permitted to post any material that is illegal, libelous, and
tortuous, indecently depicts children or is likely to result in
retaliation against Seller or Sellers provider by offended
users. Seller reserves the right to refuse or terminate service at
any time for violation of this section. This includes advertising
services or sites via IRC or USENET in clear violation of the
policies of the IRC channel or USENET group.
Copyright
Infringement - Software Piracy Policy. The hosting network may
only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or
storage of any information, data or material in violation of
United States or state regulation or law, or by the common law, is
prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material
protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other
intellectual property rights. Making unauthorized copies of
software is a violation of the law, no matter how many copies
Buyer makes. If Buyer copies, distributes or installs the software
in ways that the license does not allow, Buyer is violating
federal copyright law. If caught with pirated software, Buyer or
Buyers company may be liable under both civil and criminal
law, and Buyer may be fined up to $250,000 and/or receive up to 5
years in jail. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act (the "DMCA"), please send DMCA notifications of
claimed copyright infringements to abuse@InterXstream.com.
InterXstream, who is Sellers provider, will cooperate fully
with any civil and/or criminal litigation arising from the
violation of this policy.
Network
Responsibilities. Buyer has a responsibility to use the
network responsibly. This includes respecting other network
customers. Seller and Sellers provider reserve the right to
suspend and or cancel service with any Buyer who uses the network
in such a way that adversely affects other customers. This
includes but is not limited to: Attacking or attempting to gain
unauthorized access to servers and services that belong to
InterXstream, Seller, or their customers (i.e. computer hacking),
and/or Participating in behavior which results in reprisals that
adversely affect InterXstream or Seller, or other customers'
access to the network. Seller and Sellers provider will
react strongly to any use or attempted use of an Internet account
or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts
include, but are not limited to, "Internet Scanning"
(tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password
robbery, security hole scanning, port scanning, etc. Any
unauthorized use of accounts or computers by Buyer, whether or not
the attacked account or computer belongs to Seller or Sellers
provider, will result in severe action taken against the attacker.
Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or
cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the
seriousness of the attack. Any attempt to undermine or cause harm
to a server, customer, Seller or Sellers provider is
strictly prohibited. Violations of this policy may be reported
directly to the FBI's Infrastructure Protection & Computer
Intrusion Squad at http://www.fbi.gov/programs/ipcis/ipcis.htm.
Seller and Sellers provider will cooperate fully with any
civil and/or criminal litigation arising from the violation of
this policy.
Lawful
Purpose. All services may be used for lawful purposes only.
Transmission, storage, or presentation of any information, data or
material in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or AUP is
prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to:
(1) Use or
distribution of copyrighted material or material protected by
trade secret and other statute or dissemination of harmful or
fraudulent content;
(2) Use of
any service or product for the purpose of participating in any
activity dealing with subject matters that are prohibited under
applicable law;
(3) Conduct
constituting harassment, fraud, stalking, abuse, or a violation of
federal export restriction in connection with use of Sellers
services or products;
(4) Use of
the Hosting Service network to solicit the performance of any
illegal activity, even if the activity itself is not performed;
and
(5)
Knowingly receiving or downloading a file that cannot be legally
distributed, even without the act of distribution.
Servers
hosted within Sellers network are open to the public. Buyer
is solely responsible for Buyers usage of the network and
servers and any statement made on servers hosted within the Sellers
network may be deemed "publication" of the information
entered. Acknowledging the foregoing, Buyer specifically agrees
not to use the Hosting Service in any manner that is illegal or
libelous.
Child
Pornography on the Internet. Sellers policy on child
pornography is zero tolerance. Seller will cooperate fully with
any criminal investigation into a Customer's violation of the
Child Protection Act of 1984 concerning child pornography. Buyers
are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over
the network, and will be liable for illegal material posted by
their clients. According to the Child Protection Act, child
pornography includes photographs, films, video or any other type
of visual presentation that shows a person who is or is depicted
as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is
depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity, or the dominant
characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of
a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of
eighteen years or any written material or visual representation
that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the
age of eighteen years. Violations of the Child Protection Act may
be reported to the U.S. Customs Agency at 1-800-BEALERT.
Adult
Content on the Internet. Seller and Sellers provider do
not allow adult material to be hosted on the servers. Seller or
Sellers provider will provide notification informing Buyer
in writing of improper materials on the servers, at which time
Buyer will be given an opportunity to remove such materials.
However, Seller and Sellers provider reserve the right to
disconnect any customers immediately.
Commercial
Advertisements with E-mail. Seller takes a zero tolerance
approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE) or
SPAM over our network. Very simply, this means that Buyer may not
use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Buyer
may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is
advertised by UCE from other networks. Violations of this policy
carry severe penalties, including termination of service. Sending
a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five
recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have
specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that
topic. This includes commercial advertisements and informational
messages sent to recipients via electronic mail (email) as well as
off-topic messages posted in Usenet discussion groups where the
recipient has not requested or invited the message. Mailing lists
must be true opt-in mailing lists. Before sending any email to a
listed user, a confirmation email, with a tracking number, must be
sent to the new subscriber, to which they must respond with a
confirmation that they wish to be added to the list. Buyer must
keep these confirmations on file, so that in the case that a spam
complaint is made against Buyer, Buyer has proof that the user did
indeed opt-in. In addition, Buyer must provide at least one easy
way to opt out; see the MAPS guidelines
(http://mail-abuse.org/rbl/manage.html) for details. Opt-out
requests must be honored immediately.
E-mail
is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. Buyer is
strictly prohibited from using or permitting others to use UCE or
SPAM over the network. Buyer is ultimately responsible for the
actions of Buyers clients over the network, and it is
advisable that Buyer develops a similar, or stricter, policy for
Buyers clients. Violation of SPAM policy will result in
severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our
SPAM policy, Seller will initiate an immediate investigation
(within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation,
Seller may restrict Buyer access to the network to prevent further
violations. If Buyer is found to be in violation of the SPAM
policy, Seller may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or
terminate Buyer's account. Further, Seller reserves the right to
pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the
investigation of a substantiated policy violation. Seller will
notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to
be a criminal offense.
IP
Address Overlap. Buyer cannot use IP addresses which were not
assigned to Buyer by Seller or Sellers provider. Any server
found using IPs which were not officially assigned will be
suspended from network access until such time as the IP addresses
overlap can be corrected.
IRC.
Seller and Sellers provider do not allow the use of IRC on
the network. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of IRC
clients, server software, bots or anything related to IRC.
Violators' servers will be suspended.
Network
Performance. Hosting accounts operate on shared resources.
Excessive use or abuse of these shared network resources by one
customer may have a negative impact on all other customers. Misuse
of network resources in a manner which impairs network performance
is prohibited by this policy and may result in termination of
Buyers account. Buyer is prohibited from excessive
consumption of resources, including CPU time, memory, disk space
and session time. Buyer may not use resource-intensive programs,
such as peer-to-peer or audio/video streaming applications, which
negatively impact other customers or the performance of systems or
networks. Seller and Sellers provider reserve the right to
terminate or limit such activities.
Billing.
Buyer understands that Buyer is responsible for paying for any
network resources that are used to connect Buyer's server to the
Internet. Buyer may request that Buyer's server be disconnected
from the Internet, but Buyer will still be responsible for paying
for any network resources used up to the point of suspension or
cancellation.
Suspension.
Seller or Sellers provider reserve the right to suspend
network access to Buyer if, in the judgment of the network
administrators, Buyer's server is the source or target of the
violation of any of the other terms of the AUP or for any other
reason which Seller or Sellers provider choose. If
inappropriate activity is detected, all accounts of Buyer will be
deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior notification
to Buyer is not assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement will be
contacted regarding the activity. Buyer will not be credited for
the time Buyer's machines were suspended if Buyer has violated the
AUP.
Cancellation.
Seller reserves the right to cancel service at any time. If
inappropriate activity is detected, all accounts of Buyer will be
deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior notification
to Buyer is not assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement will be
contacted regarding the activity. All fees paid in advance of
cancellation are non-refundable if Seller or Sellers
provider institute their rights of cancellation. Any violation of
policies which results in extra costs will be billed to Buyer
(i.e. transfer, space etc.).
Disclaimer
of Responsibility. Seller is under no duty to look at Buyer's
activities to determine if a violation of the AUP has occurred,
nor does Seller assume any responsibility through to monitor or
police Internet-related activities. Seller disclaims any
responsibility for any such inappropriate use and any liability to
any person or party for any other person's or party's violation of
this policy.
Indemnification.
The indemnification provisions stated in IX.c above also apply to
AUP violations and all other matters associated with the Hosting
Service.
INDIRECT OR
ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THE AUP AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS
BY A THIRD PARTY ON BUYERS BEHALF SHALL BE CONSIDERED THE
SAME AS IF BUYER VIOLATIED THE AUP.

Buyer

or use of this product or from subsequent contact with Seller or
Third Parties.
Buyer
expressly agrees that no matter what may happen because of his or
her purchase of the product, or no matter what damage may be

matter the harm or damage that may result directly or indirectly

Section
XII
SPECIFIC DISCLAIMERS AS TO 'RESULTS CLAIMS',
'INCOME CLAIMS', OR 'EARNINGS CLAIMS' IN SALES AND PROMOTIONAL
MATERIALS OR PRODUCT,INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THIRD PARTY
PRODUCTS
(COLLECTIVELY, THE VARIOUS PRODUCTS)
If claims
about results from using the various products or if claims about
income or earnings resulting from the use of the various products
are made, such claims are true for the persons who made the
claims, including claims made by the Seller about its own
experiences.
However,
Buyer cannot simply rely on these statements as being duplicable
by Buyer because many factors affect results, including just dumb
luck. Some people buy the various products to make money and, in
fact, make no money. Some people buy the various products and
never read it or attempt to implement any of the moneymaking
ideas. Some folks seemingly take to it like a duck to water and
can't stop making money. Nothing promoted on this website should
be construed as a 'Get rich quick' scheme. The various products
Buyer is buying for the purposes of learning how to make money or
how to market, or the various products that Buyer is buying to
re-sell, have all been proven money-makers and successful Internet
search engine methodologies. The results and the income and
earnings statements, if any, tend to reflect the more successful
cases and Buyer should not construe this as being the 'average' or
usual success story. As is true in much of life, real success
usually requires real work. Learning about the Internet is not
terrible work and it can produce very livable income if Buyer is
willing to learn his or her craft and work at it steadily. Even
part-time efforts may bring in some extra money each month. But it
requires learning skills in an area that Buyer may not have a
background to easily learn and will certainly require constant
education and, perhaps, even psychological motivation to keep
Buyer directed toward his or her goals.
If the
various products that Buyer is purchasing are physical products
promoted for a particular purpose and if the promotional materials
make claims about the results from the use of the various
products, either individually or collectively, Buyer hereby
warrants his understanding that there exists some probability that
the product will not deliver those same results to any particular
Buyer and that the refund of the purchase price (subject to the
return of the product to the Seller) is the full remedy for any
Buyer who feels the product did not deliver the results claimed.
If the
product Buyer is purchasing is a membership or a product plan
that claims to produce specific benefits or results or that
otherwise involves a recurring fee, the Buyer has a right to
terminate the membership or plan upon notice to the
Seller. In this case, the promotional materials describing the
membership and the plan and the remedy for
dissatisfaction shall be controlling. If the promotional materials
say that part of a fee is not refundable, then it is not.
Where this
disclaimer and claims made in sales and promotional materials or
the various products are in conflict, this Purchase Agreement
shall be controlling except, and unless, the Seller deliberately
misled the Buyer or if such construction would cause material
inequity. The sole burden is on the Buyer to substantiate any
deliberate deception. Buyer accepts the obligation to reimburse
the Seller for all court costs, investigation costs, attorney
fees, and all litigation-related costs in the event Buyer brings
suit against the Seller and does not prevail in court or at
arbitration.
No
warranties are made whatsoever about the amount of money or web
site success, if any, that Buyer will earn from this material or
the various products or services and Buyer warrants an
understanding that Buyer's only course of action is to test this
product and material for the extent of the refund period and
request a refund if Buyer is not satisfied prior to its
expiration.
Buyer,
again, warrants an understanding that in any event, for any
reason, no matter the amount of damages claimed, as a material
part of the consideration for purchase of this product, the
maximum amount of liability shall be the purchase price of the
product.
