Carefully
read the following terms and conditions of this agreement.
By accessing and using the web hosting and electronic commerce

following terms and conditions and you agree to be bound by

This
agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement
of the agreement between you or your company and KGIHost.net
with respect to the KGIHost.net web hosting and electronic
commerce services and associated software and SUPERSEDES ANY
PROPOSAL OR PRIOR AGREEMENT, oral or written, and any other
communications relating to the subject matter of this agreement.
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. Customers will be responsible for all renewal expenses.

regarding the use of the KGIHost.net Services. Such rules

site at http://www.kgihost.net./aup.
All such acceptable use policies are incorporated by reference
into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.
4.License
Grant.
During
the term of this Agreement, KGIHost.net grants to Customer
a non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable license to access
and use the KGIHost.net Services solely on and as part of

11.Miscellaneous.
Customer
may not assign its rights or delegate any of its duties under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of KGIHost.net,
and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent
shall be void. If one or more provisions of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall not be affected or impaired thereby. Nothing in this
Agreement or in the understanding of the parties construes
upon the parties the status of partners or joint ventures.
KGIHost.net may subcontract any work, obligations or other
performance required of KGIHost.net under this Agreement without
consent of Customer. Other than the termination of this agreement,
all notices provided hereunder sent by email, mail or certified
