Web Site Hosting Agreement

This 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; Modifications

The term of this agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as Esiteworks is providing Web Hosting services to Customer.
Customer agrees that Esiteworks may modify this Agreement from time to time. Esiteworks may also discontinue services it provides under this Agreement. Customer agrees to be bound by any changes Esiteworks may reasonably make to this Agreement when such changes become effective.

3. Description of Service

Esiteworks currently provides Web Hosting services to Esiteworks’s customers for a monthly fee. Esiteworks will host Customer's web site on Esiteworks’s Web Hosting servers, provided, however, that Customer abides by the terms and conditions set forth herein and in each of Esiteworks’s policies and procedures.

Customer is responsible for ensuring that Customer web site conforms to all local, state, federal, and international laws. Further, Customer is responsible for ensuring the legal copyright to any images, text, or other web site elements that are not provided by Esiteworks.

4. Customer Obligations

Customer agrees that Customer has provided accurate, current and complete information in the application process and that Customer will notify Esiteworks within five (5) business days when any of the information Customer provided as part of the application and/or registration process changes. Failure by Customer, for whatever reason, to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries made by Esiteworks to determine the validity of information provided by Customer, will constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

If Customer provides any information that is inaccurate, not current, false, misleading or incomplete, or if Esiteworks has reasonable grounds to suspect that Customer information is inaccurate, not current, false, misleading or incomplete, Esiteworks has the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate its Web Hosting services and close Customer account.

Customer warrants that each application Customer makes is being done so in good faith and that Customer have no knowledge of it infringing upon or conflicting with the legal rights of a third party or a third party's trademark or trade name.

e. Terminate Customer Web Hosting service if the contents of Customer web site result in, or are the subject of, legal action or threatened legal action, against Esiteworks or any of its affiliates or partners, without consideration for whether such legal action or threatened legal action is eventually determined to be with or without merit.

CUSTOMER AGREES CUSTOMER WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO A REFUND OF ANY FEES PAID TO ESITEWORKS IF, FOR ANY REASON, ESITEWORKS TAKES CORRECTIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO CUSTOMER’S IMPROPER OR ILLEGAL USE OF ITS WEB HOSTING SERVICES.

7. Dispute Resolution Policy
