Web Hosting Agreement 


Domains: www.yourname.com
Company Name, with its place of business for the purpose of this agreement at
Street Address, City, State, Zip Code, United States of America ("Customer"). In
consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the parties agree to the following,
which shall apply during the term of this agreement:

1. DEFINITIONS: 

A. "Plans" means proposals for offering various services to be provided by Create-A-Website, as listed online at: http://www.createawebsite.net/hosting/plans.php
B. "Customer" means an end user who is utilizing services provided by Create-A-Website. 

2. PRICES 

A. All prices for Plans provided by Create-A-Website to Customer are US dollars. 
B. Customer shall be responsible for paying all taxes of any nature which become due with regard to Create-A-Website services, except for taxes on Create-A-Website income, irrespective of which party may be responsible for reporting or collecting such taxes.

3. ORDER ACCEPTANCE, PAYMENT 

 A. All orders are subject to acceptance by Create-A-Website. An order will be deemed accepted by Create-A-Website when Email or written confirmation of the order is sent to Customer. Create-A-Website may refuse to accept any order, or delay acceptance pending fulfillment of conditions Create-A-Website may choose to impose. Such refusal or such conditions may not be unreasonable, however, and Create-A-Website agrees to provide Customer with reasonable notice via Email or fax of any intent to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.
 B. Payment and Terms: Payment shall be made in US dollars to Create-A-Website into the account designated by Create-A-Website, or as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties. Payments are due upon presentation of invoice. If due to bank charges, transfer fees, or the like, Create-A-Website should receive less than its invoice amount, Create-A-Website will re-invoice Customer for the shortfall. Should payment in full of any invoice (aside from such shortfalls) not be received by Create-A-Website within thirty (30) days after presentation, Create-A-Website will impose a debt service charge amounting to one percent (1%) of the overdue balance for each month or fraction thereof the overdue amount remains unpaid. In the event that any amount remains unpaid forty-five (45) days after presentation of invoice, Create-A-Website may discontinue, withhold, or suspend services to Customer and/or its customer(s) to whom such unpaid amounts relate. 

4. DUTIES OF CREATE-A-WEBSITE

Create-A-Website will acquire, on request, an Internet Domain Name on behalf of the Customer. In such case the Customer hereby must waive in writing prior to acquisition of said domain name, any and all claims which it may have against Create-A-Website for any loss, damage, claim or expense arising out of, or in relation to, the registration of such Domain Name in any on-line or off-line network directories, membership lists or registration lists, or the release of the Domain Name from such directories or lists following the termination of services by Create-A-Website for any reason. Any costs of Create-A-Website in obtaining or maintaining a domain name for Customer or its customers shall be immediately reimbursed to Create-A-Website upon invoice from Create-A-Website to Customer. 

5. RULES AND REGULATIONS

Create-A-Website may impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding the use of its services from time to time. Customer shall impose such rules and regulations on its customers to the extent necessary to ensure compliance.

6. LIMITATION OF Create-A-Website's OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY

 A. Create-A-Website will utilize its best efforts to maintain acceptable performance of services contracted for services, but Create-A-Website makes absolutely no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, including warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Create-A-Website cannot guarantee continuous service, service at any particular time, or integrity of data stored or transmitted via its system or via the Internet. Create-A-Website will not be liable for the inadvertent disclosure of, or corruption or erasure of, data transmitted or received or stored on its system. Create-A-Website shall not be liable to Customer or any of its customers for any claims or damages which may be suffered by Customer or its customers, including, but not limited to, losses or damages of any and every nature, resulting from the loss of data, inability to access Internet, or inability to transmit or receive information, caused by, or resulting from, delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions whether or not caused by the fault or negligence of Create-A-Website. 
 B. Create-A-Website may discontinue servicing any Plan, or may require fulfillment of conditions Create-A-Website may choose to impose as a prerequisite for continuing to service any Plan. Such discontinuation or requirement may not be unreasonable, however, and Create-A-Website agrees to provide Customer with reasonable notice via Email and fax of any such intent to discontinue or impose conditions. 
 C. Services provided by Create-A-Website to Customer shall be deemed accepted
for all purposes thirty days after presentation of invoice for such services, if no written claim or objection regarding such services has been received by Create-A-Website within the 30-day period. No claim related to such accepted services shall be raised. 
 D. Create-A-Website liability to Customer, and any end user of any Plan or other Create-A-Website services is limited to the amount paid to and received by Create-A-Website for services not accepted. In no event shall Create-A-Website be liable to Customer, or any end user or any other entity for any special, consequential, or other damages, however caused, whether for breach of contract, negligence or otherwise, even if Create-A-Website has been advised of the possibility of such damage. 
 E. Customer will take all necessary measures to preclude Create-A-Website from being made a party to any lawsuit or claim regarding Create-A-Website services provided to any Customer or end user. Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Create-A-Website from any and all claims of whatever nature brought by any of Customer's customers against Create-A-Website in excess of the remedy set forth in paragraph 7(D). 

7. PROPERTY RIGHTS 

Create-A-Website owns all right, title and interest in Create-A-Website's trade names, service marks, inventions, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, and know-how relating to the design, function, or operation of Plans and of the hardware and software systems and resources necessary to provide the individual service elements of which they consist. This agreement does not constitute a license to Customer to use Create-A-Website's trade names or service marks. 

8. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES 

The relationship between Create-A-Website and Customer is that of vendor and vendee. They shall not be construed as being joint ventures, franchiser/franchisee, or employer/employee. This agreement is a commercial agreement between businesses, not a consumer agreement. Customer has no authority, apparent or otherwise, to contract for or on behalf of Create-A-Website, or in any other way legally bind Create-A-Website in any fashion, nor shall Customer be authorized to make any representations about Create-A-Website or its services other than to set forth Create-A-Website's responsibilities as outlined in this agreement. 

9. DISPUTES 

The parties shall attempt to resolve all disputes arising out of this agreement in a spirit of cooperation without formal proceedings. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved (other than the collection of money due on unpaid invoices) and other than the injunctive relief referred to in paragraph 10 shall be subject to arbitration upon written demand of either party. Arbitration shall take place in (Wilbraham, MA), or at another location if the parties so agree. The arbitration shall take place before an arbitration panel chosen as follows: The parties shall each choose an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator and determine the third arbitrator's compensation. Each party shall have one veto over the choice of the third arbitrator. The three arbitrators shall schedule an informal proceeding, hear the arguments, and decide the matter by secret majority vote. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall pay the costs of its own arbitrator, and shall pay half of the other costs of the arbitration proceeding. Each party shall have the right to have the proceedings transcribed. The arbitrators shall not have the authority to award punitive damages or any other form of relief not contemplated in the contract. The majority of arbitrators shall render a written opinion setting forth the basis on which they arrived at the decision regarding each issue submitted to arbitration; the dissenting arbitrator, if any, shall not issue a dissenting opinion. Regarding each issue submitted to arbitration, the decision shall be final and binding only to the extent it is accompanied by a written explanation of the basis upon which it was arrived at. Judgment upon the award, if any, rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Should any legal action permissible under this agreement be instituted to enforce the terms and conditions of this agreement, in particular the right to collect money due on unpaid invoices, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred at both the trial and appellate levels. 

10. TERM, TERMINATION: 

This agreement shall run until the end of the current calendar year. It shall automatically be renewed on an annual basis unless terminated in one of the
following ways:

12. PARTIAL INVALIDITY

This agreement takes effect when accepted by Create-A-Website in Massachusetts. It is to be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Massachusetts and the United States of America.

Customer hereby expressly consents to (1) the jurisdiction of the courts of Massachusetts and (2) service of process being effective upon it by registered mail sent to the address set forth at the beginning of this document, as may be changed from time to time by written notice actually received by Create-A-Website.

14. NOTICES 

Except with respect to service of process as set forth in paragraph, all notices may be sent by email, fax, or express mail to the email address, fax number, or address most recently provided and will be effective upon transmission. Evidence of successful transmission shall be retained.
