USER AGREEMENT

Small Business Web Hosting

SERVICES - This User Service Agreement ("Agreement") applies to the purchase of all services (collectively, the "Services") ordered by YOU from Pangea Webhosting ("Pangea"). This agreement is valid for all MSN.Net Hosting customers of Pangea (formerly MSN.Net Hosting). Pangea reserves the right to amend its Service offerings and add, delete, suspend or modify the terms and conditions of the Services, at any time and from time to time, and to determine whether and when any such changes apply to both existing or future customers.

SERVICE LEVEL - Pangea endeavors to have the content of YOUR web site available for access by third parties 99% of the time ("Web Site Availability").

BILLING AND PAYMENT - YOU shall pay the fees and other charges for each Service as detailed on page one (1) of this contract. Pangea reserves the right to change rates by notifying YOU sixty (60) days in advance of the effective date of the change. Billing for Services will commence upon the activation by Pangea of the Service(s) ordered. Service charges shall be invoiced in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth both herein and detailed on page one (1) of this contract. All payments shall be made in U.S. currency. YOU will pay a late payment charge equal to 1.5% (or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever Is lower) per month or portion thereof on the outstanding balance of any invoice remaining unpaid thirty (30) days after the date upon which payment is due ("Due Date"). Accounts unpaid thirty (30) days after the Due Date may have service suspended or terminated. Such suspension or termination shall not relieve YOU of YOUR obligation to pay the monthly fee due. YOU agree to pay Pangea its reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under this Agreement. YOU shall pay all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise, duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services and the sale of hardware, software or equipment to YOU, except that taxes based on Pangea net income shall be the responsibility of Pangea.

TERM - This Agreement shall be for the term specified upon creation of your hosting account. This Agreement will be automatically renewed on a month to month basis at the end of such term unless YOU provide written notice to Pangea of termination of this Agreement.

ACCEPTABLE USES - YOU shall at all times adhere to the Pangea Acceptable Use Policy located at http://www.pangeawebhosting.com/webTOS.html, as amended from time to time by Pangea effective upon posting of the revised policy at the URL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pangea may immediately take corrective action, including disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or terminate this Agreement in the event of notice of possible violation by YOU of the Pangea Acceptable Use Policy. In the event Pangea takes corrective action due to a violation of the Pangea Acceptable Use Policy, Pangea shall not refund to YOU any fees paid in advance of such corrective action.

CANCELLATION POLICY - In the event of early cancellation of this Agreement by YOU prior to the end of the term, Pangea shall NOT refund to YOU any fees paid in advance of such cancellation and YOU will be required to pay the remaining balance due for the term specified plus a $100 cancellation fee. For security, all cancellation requests must be in writing and signed by the primary contact person on the account. Any cancellation request shall be effective upon receipt, unless another date is specified in such cancellation request. Any cancellation by Pangea or YOU shall not relieve YOU of any obligations to pay fees associated with the term you have selected (ie: cancellation of service six months into a one-year term hosting contract will not relieve you of the prior six month’s service charges and these charges will be due upon cancellation). Acceptance/use of hosting services validates acceptance of these terms.
