Web Site Hosting AgreementThis Web Site Hosting Agreement
(“Agreement”) is by and between Esiteworks, Inc. (“Esiteworks”), a Florida
Corporation, and Web Site Hosting Customer (“Customer”) and is effective
upon electronic execution. This Agreement sets forth the terms and
conditions of Customer’s use of Esiteworks’s Web Site Hosting (“Web
Hosting”) services and represents the entire agreement between Customer
and Esiteworks. By using Esiteworks’s Web Hosting services, Customer
acknowledges that Customer has read, understands and agrees to be bound by
all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, along with any new,
different or additional terms, conditions or policies which Esiteworks may
establish from time to time. Customer may view the latest version of this
Agreement at any time at http://www.esiteworks.com/company/hostingagreement.asp.
1. Fees
As consideration for the services purchased by Customer and provided to
Customer by Esiteworks, Customer agree to pay Esiteworks a monthly fee.
Customer billing will be determined by customer as monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually, or annually based on the day of the month Customer
established Customer Web Hosting relationship with Esiteworks unless that
date falls after the 28th of the month in which case Customer billing date
will be the 28th of each month. Payment is to be made by Customer
providing a valid credit card for charge by Esiteworks, and is
non-refundable. If for any reason Esiteworks is unable to charge Customer
credit card with the full amount of the service provided, or if Esiteworks
is charged back for any fee it previously charged to the credit card
Customer provided, Customer agree that Esiteworks may pursue all available
remedies in order to obtain payment.
Customer agrees that Customer will be responsible for notifying
Esiteworks should Customer desire to terminate Customer’s use of
Esiteworks’s Web Hosting services. Notification of Customer’s intent to
terminate must be provided to Esiteworks no later than 10 days prior to
Customer billing date. In the absence of notification from Customer,
Esiteworks will automatically continue Web Hosting services indefinitely
and will charge the credit card that the Customer has on file with
Esiteworks, at Esiteworks's then current rates. It is Customer’s
responsibility to keep Customer credit card information current, including
the expiration date. In the event Customer terminates, moving Customer web
site off of the Esiteworks hosting servers is Customer’s responsibility.
Esiteworks will not transfer or FTP Customer web site to another provider,
but will provide an electronic backup of Customer website for a $50 fee,
if requested upon termination.
2. Term of Agreement; ModificationsThe term of this agreement
shall continue in full force and effect as long as Esiteworks is providing

any changes Esiteworks may reasonably make to this Agreement when such
changes become effective.
3. Description of Service

policies and procedures.
