"Services" refers to the services provided by us, including our web hosting services. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for various Services. By selecting our Services you have agreed to establish an account with us for such Services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional Services or to cancel your Services (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement covers such services or actions. By using the Services under this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any pertinent rules or policies that are or may be published by us.

2. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM. As consideration for the services you have selected, you agree to pay us the applicable service(s) fees. As further consideration for the Services, you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information ("Account Information"). By submitting to this Agreement, you represent that the statements you have made in are true and you will not use our Services for any unlawful purpose.

2a. BILLING. Packages are billed yearly with first payment due at time of account activation. Your credit card will be charged every year on the day you first purchased ANY products. The first date in which you purchase ANY products is your Billing Anniversary Date. Any subsequent recurring charges will be billed to your credit card on that date. Amounts will be prorated to align your charges with your Anniversary Date.

2b. CANCELLATION. Accounts may be canceled at any time. Refunds will be reduced accordingly for that portion of yearly service used.

2c. BILLING DISPUTES AND BANK CHARGE BACKS. All Bank Disputes result in the complete cancellation of your account.

2d. SERVICE CHANGES. Level of service may be changed at any time. You are allowed to change your hosting package for free, incurring only those additional charges associated with the upgraded services.

3. ILLEGAL USE. THOT servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data, or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material; trademarks; trade secrets or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws.

4. SECURITY. Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include but are not limited to the following: unauthorized access, use, probing, or scanning of systems security or authentication measures, data, or traffic; interference with service to any user, host, or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system, broadcast attacks; forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

5. SERVER ABUSE. Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a THOT server or customers are strictly prohibited. This includes the abusive sending of unsolicited email, also known as "Spam."

6. CUSTOMER CONDUCT. You are solely responsible for the contents of your transmissions through THOT. Your use of THOT's service(s) is subject to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations. You agree: (1) to comply with US and European law regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States through THOT; (2) not to use THOT for illegal purposes; (3) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the THOT; and (4) to comply with all regulations, policies and procedures of networks connected to THOT. You agree not to transmit through THOT's service(s) any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, or otherwise legally objectionable material of any kind or nature. You further agree not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. Attempts to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems are prohibited. You shall not interfere with another customer's use and enjoyment of the THOT's service(s) or another entity's use and enjoyment of similar services. Obscene or pornographic material is strictly prohibited. THOT may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your service or any agreement with us should your conduct fail to conform to these terms and conditions.

7. COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS & INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY VIOLATIONS. You agree not to engage in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, you agree to not engage in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. THOT is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also THOT's policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.

8. ACTIONS TAKEN BY THOT. Your failure to meet or follow any of the Terms and Conditions set forth by THOT is grounds for account deactivation. THOT will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of its Terms and Conditions. THOT reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice. When THOT becomes aware of an alleged violation of its Terms and Conditions, THOT will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, THOT may restrict a customer's access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, THOT may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's web hosting account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, THOT will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation.

9. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. You agree, during the period of this Agreement, that we may: (1) revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (2) change the services provided under this Agreement. Any such revision or change will be binding and effective immediately on posting of the revised Agreement or change to the service(s) on our web site, or on notification to you by e-mail. You agree to review our web site, including the Agreement, periodically to be aware of any such revisions. If you do not agree with any revision to the Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing us with notice by e-mail. Notice of your termination will be effective on receipt and processing by us. You agree that, by continuing to use the Services following notice of any revision to this Agreement or change in service(s), you abide by any such revisions or changes.

10. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We reserve the right to distribute information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our services and those of our service partners. These announcements will be predominately informative in nature and may include notices describing changes, upgrades, new products and services offered by THOT or other information to add security or to enhance your identity on the Internet.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount you paid for such Service(s). We shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your Account Identifier or Password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the development or interruption of your Web site or email service. You agree that we will not be liable for interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall our maximum liability exceed one hundred ($100.00) dollars.

12. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or your use of the Services, including without limitation infringement by you, or someone else using the E-mail Service with your computer, of any intellectual property or other proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of our operating rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided. When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your Agreement and may result in termination of our Services to you.

13. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may terminate our Services, including but not limited to our web hosting services, without further notice. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other breach by you.

14. NO GUARANTY. You agree that, by registration or reservation of your chosen domain name, such registration or reservation does not confer immunity from objection to either the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.

19. NON-AGENCY. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

20. NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent.
