effort to edit, control, monitor or restrict the content
of data other than as necessary to provide such Services.
I. Client Content. Client agrees that it
will not distribute, electronically transmit or display
any materials supplied by Client or through Client by a
third party to any HostVertex connection with Client's
use of the Services which:
|
• |
violate any state, federal or foreign laws or
regulations; |
|
• |
content of a pornographic, sexually explicit, or violent
nature; |
|
• |

II. Bandwidth.
Client may occupy only the amount of disk space allocated
to them, and utilize no more than the network bandwidth
that is allotted by the plan in which the user has chosen.
Additional fees, specified in the "add-on" page,
will be charged for exceeding the disk space and/or
network bandwidth allowance of your selected plan.
III. No "SPAM". Client shall not use the Services
for chain letters, junk mail, spamming, or any use of
distribution lists to any person who has not given
specific permission to be included in such a process.
Client also shall not engage in any unsolicited email
practices, or otherwise, that mentions or reference any
domain hosted by HostVertex servers. If an account
is found to be spamming, it will immediately be terminated
and will forego all refund privileges.
NOTE: This
policy applies to all virtual server accounts, resellers and
their resold accounts, dedicated server customers, and all
domains, name servers and parked domains hosted on the
server.
IV. Licensed Software Only. Client agrees to use
only properly licensed third party software in connection
with Client's use of the Services.
V. Back-Up Files. Client will have the ability to
reinstate files which are automatically archived by
HostVertex; however, HostVertex does not guarantee the
existence, accuracy, or regularity of its backup services
and, therefore, Client is responsible for making back-up
files in connection with its use of the Services.
VI. Termination. HostVertex reserves the right to
refuse service to anyone. HostVertex, in its sole
discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement if
Client engages in any of the foregoing. To report any
unacceptable behavior by a third party using the Services,
please contact
abuse@hostvertex.com.

|
|
2. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
|
|
Service Fees. Each Client will pay on a monthly
basis depending on the date ordered. HostVertex shall
either (i) debit Client's credit card (where such
information is provided by Client) on this date or (ii)
deliver by email an invoice to Client in accordance with
the applicable Services fees for services rendered for the
current month (extras) and the next month after the
current month. Where an invoice is delivered to Client,
Client shall remit payment to HostVertex by no later than
the specified payment due date which will determined by
the dated entered into the agreement. HostVertex shall be
entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement for
Client's failure to make timely payments to HostVertex.
Certain services can carry a set-up fee charged by
HostVertex to Client that must be paid by Client in order
to have use of the Services. If Client terminates this
Agreement in accordance with Section 4 hereunder, Client
shall be responsible for any outstanding fees owed to
HostVertex and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by
Client. Because the Services are provided on a monthly basis, Client will be responsible for Service fees
incurred each month regardless of when Client provides
notice of termination. Thus, for example, if Client
provides notice to terminate on the 15th day of Client's
payment cycle, Client will still owe fees for the entire month and
such fees will not be refunded.

| |
|
3. CLIENT LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION |

The parties agree that in no event shall HostVertex be
liable to any third party for Client's breach or alleged
breach of any of the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement. Client agrees to defend, indemnify and
hold harmless HostVertex from any and all expenses,
losses, liabilities, damages or third party claims
resulting from Client's breach or alleged breach of any
Client obligations set forth hereunder.

shall be effective on the date you register for the
Services, and shall continue in effect on a month-to-month
basis unless otherwise specified by separate agreement
(the "Term") unless terminated earlier pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 4. Either party will have the
right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other
party. If Client is terminating this Agreement, Client

shall be allowed to re-instate Client's use of the
Services within five (5) business days of cancellation.
