Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, KGIHost.net and Customer agree as follows:

1.Order Acceptance, Payment.

A. All orders are subject to acceptance by KGIHost.net. An order will be deemed accepted by KGIHost.net when KGIHost.net sends written confirmation of the order to Customer.

B. KGIHost.net shall either charge Customer's credit card or request remittance of cash check, or money order for the applicable set-up fees and monthly fees according to the Package(s) pricing selected by Customer and provided by KGIHost.net. Such fees and charges shall include, without limitation, the fees for connectivity, design services, and charges by any and all third parties whose materials are included as part of the Package(s). KGIHost.net reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges and institute new fees and charges upon prior notice to Customer. Customer must provide KGIHost.net with valid billing information in order to charge all KGIHost.net fees as they become due. All monthly fees and set-up fees shall be due in advance of the month incurred and all additional charges shall be due at the end of the month in which such charges are incurred. Except as provided in Section 3, the set-up fees are non-refundable and KGIHost.net does not issue pro rata refunds for fees paid in advance. If payment by Customer's credit card is denied, or Customer's charge or other forms of payment are returned to KGIHost.net for any reason, including charge back or insuficient funds or Customer otherwise fails to make any payments owing to KGIHost.net, KGIHost.net may, at KGIHost.net's discretion, suspend or terminate access to the KGIHost.net Services and/or terminate this Agreement. Customer's right to use the KGIHost.net Services are subject to any limits established by KGIHost.net. Interest charges of 1% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law if lower than 1% per month) will accrue daily on any unpaid balance, which is more than thirty (30) days overdue. Customer shall be responsible for any and all taxes related to this Agreement. KGIHost.net may charge you for certain taxes and other applicable fees.

2.KGIHost.net Services.

A. During the term of this Agreement, KGIHost.net shall provide services to Customer according to the Package(s) accepted by Customer (the "KGIHost.net Services"). "Package" means one of KGIHost.net business and/or electronic commerce service offerings, as can be found on KGIHost.net's Web site at http://www.kgihost.net. The specific Package to be provided to Customer shall be established by correspondence between KGIHost.net and Customer. Such Package shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, as if fully set forth herein. KGIHost.net and Customer shall retain copies of such Package(s) for future reference.

B. At Customer's request, KGIHost.net will acquire an Internet Second-Level Domain Name ("Domain Name"), from a Contracted Registrar on behalf of Customer. Customer's request for and/or acceptance of a Domain Name obtained by KGIHost.net shall in all cases constitute Customer's waiver of any and all claims which Customer may have, or which may later arise, against KGIHost.net or its third party providers, for any and all damages, losses, claims or expenses arising our or related to the acquisition, registration and/or use of the Domain Name. Any cost incurred by KGIHost.net to obtain and/or maintain the Domain Name on behalf of Customer shall be charged to Customer by KGIHost.net. Request for and acceptance of a domain name requires KGIHost.net to supply the domain name to the Contracted Registrar, which in turns supplies the Domain Name to third parties. KGIHost.net will be the sole billing and technical contact for the Domain Name. Prior to the expiration date, KGIHost.net will attempt to renew all Domain Names for active accounts where KGIHost.net is listed as the billing contact.
