- Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on
Customer's satisfaction of FullyHost's credit approval requirements,
FullyHost agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the
Order for the fees stated in the Order.
-
Term. The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the
date that FullyHost generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing
the activation of the Customer's account (the "Service Commencement
Date") and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order
(the "Initial Term"). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this
Agreement shall automatically renew for as many successive renewal terms
of the same length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Term") unless
FullyHost or Customer provides the other with written notice of
non-renewal. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to
collectively in this Agreement as the "Term."
- Payments.
- Fees. Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing
cycle. Customer's billing cycle shall be monthly, annually bi-annually as indicated on
the Order, beginning on the
Service Commencement Date. FullyHost may require payment for the first
billing cycle before beginning service. If the Order provides for
credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes FullyHost to bill
subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of
each successive billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement;
otherwise FullyHost will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the
Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be
issued on or before the 7th day before each billing cycle, and the fees
shall be due on the 7th day following invoice date.
Payments must be made in United States dollars. Customer is responsible
for providing FullyHost with changes to billing information (such as
credit card expiration, change in billing address). FullyHost may
suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is
overdue. Fees not disputed within thirty (30) days of due date are
conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay FullyHost's
reasonable reinstatement fee following a suspension of service for
non-payment, and to pay FullyHost's reasonable costs of collection of
overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and
court costs. Customers who either reside in or have a primary billing address in Canada
will be
subject to the appropriate GST/HST tax for their province. This tax will be included and
shown
on all invoices issued by FullyHost.
-
Fee Increases. FullyHost may increase its fees for services
effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer
of the new fees at least forty five (45) days prior to the beginning of
the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal
as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have
accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal
Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent
Renewal Term).
- Taxes. At FullyHost's request Customer shall remit to FullyHost all
sales, VAT or similar tax imposed on the provision of the services (but
not in the nature of an income tax on FullyHost), regardless of whether
FullyHost fails to collect the tax at the time the related services are
provided.
-
Early Termination. Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee
for the service is based on Customer's agreement to pay the fee for the
entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event Fully
Host terminates the Agreement for Customer's breach of the Agreement in
accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the
service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for Fully
Host's breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the
Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the
business day following termination of the Agreement.
- Payments to FullyHost are non-refundable except for the first payment which falls under
the thirty (30) day money back guarantee. Only shared and reseller services are eligible for the thirty (30) day money back guarantee. VPS service is eligible for 3 day money back guarantee, with the condition that the user hasn't violated our terms. No other
services
provided by FullyHost are covered by this guarantee. The thirty (30) day money back
guarantee is not valid upon any terms of service or acceptable use policy violations.
All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within thirty (30) days of the time
the dispute occurred.
-
Law/AUP. Customer agrees to use the service in compliance with
applicable law and FullyHost's Acceptable Use Policy posted at
https://Fullyhost.com/terms.html (the "AUP"), which is hereby incorporated
by reference in this Agreement. Customer agrees that FullyHost may, in
its reasonable commercial judgment consistent with industry standards,
amend the AUP from time to time to further detail or describe reasonable
restrictions and conditions on Customer's use of the Services.
Amendments to the AUP are effective on the earlier of FullyHost's notice
to Customer that an amendment has been made, or the first day of any
Renewal Term that begins subsequent to the amendment. Customer agrees to
cooperate with FullyHost's reasonable investigation of any suspected
violation of the AUP. In the event of a dispute between FullyHost and
Customer regarding the interpretation of the AUP, FullyHost's
commercially reasonable interpretation of the AUP shall govern.
- Customer Information. Customer represents and warrants to FullyHost
that the information he, she or it has provided and will provide to Fully
Host for purposes of establishing and maintaining the service is
accurate. If Customer is an individual, Customer represents and warrants
to FullyHost that he or she is at least 18 years of age. FullyHost may
rely on the instructions of the person listed as the Primary Customer
Contact on the Order with regard to Customer's account until Customer
has provided a written notice changing the Primary Customer Contract.
- Indemnification. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Fully
Host, FullyHost's affiliates, and each of their respective officers,
directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
punitive damages, amounts in interest, expenses and disbursements of any
kind and nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys fees) brought
by a third party under any theory of legal liability arising out of or
related to the actual or alleged use of Customer's services in violation
of applicable law or the AUP by Customer or any person using Customer's
log on information, regardless of whether such person has been
authorized to use the services by Customer.
-
Disclaimer of Warranties.

uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. To the extent permitted
by applicable law FullyHost disclaims any and all warranties including
the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, and noninfringement. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
all services are provided on an "as is" basis.
- Limitation of Damages.
Neither party shall be liable to the other for any lost profits, or any
indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive loss or damage
of any kind, or for damages that could have been avoided by the use of
reasonable diligence, arising in connection with the agreement, even if
the party has been advised or should be aware of the possibility of such
damages.
Notwithstanding anything else in the agreement to the contrary, the
maximum aggregate liability of FullyHost and any of its employees,
agents or affiliates, under any theory of law (including breach of
contract, tort, strict liability, and infringement) shall be a payment
of money not to exceed the amount payable by customer for three months
of service.

will remove any data related to the unpaid hosting service(s) from its systems. In the
event a customer requires restoration of the data, FullyHost will attempt to recover the
account from backup systems. FullyHost makes no guarantee the terminated data will be
recoverable from their backup systems. There will be a one time $10 fee for account
recovery/restoration. This fee applies to each service the customer requires FullyHost
to restore. This restoration policy and corresponding $10 fee will also be applied to
any terminated service(s) the customer has requested cancellation for in error.

may, without notice to Customer, (i) report to the appropriate
authorities any conduct by Customer or any of Customer's customers or

a law enforcement or regulatory agency or in response to a formal
request in a civil action that on its face meets the requirements for
such a request.

Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and absolute
discretion. FullyHost's allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new
policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based
virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP
addresses. What this means to the Customer is that you MUST use name-based
hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage,
and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based
hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP
addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.

FullyHost shall have the right to take corrective action if Subscriber's
usage negatively impacts other clients.
