Purpose:

The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the following terms and conditions for providing web hosting by Sitejibe for Client:


  1. Terms and Financial Arrangements:
    1. This agreement will become effective on the date below ("Commencement Date"), shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months, and shall automatically renew for successive calendar years on each anniversary of the commencement Date, unless canceled in writing by either party, at least 30 days prior to the end of term renewal date.
    2. A non-refundable setup charge, if any, shall be due upon receipt of contract.

    4. Initial payment is due with the contract, regardless of the status of domain name application or any other forces beyond the control of Sitejibe.

  2. Failure to pay:

    In the case of a website hosted on a Sitejibe hosting server, failure of Client to remit payment to Sitejibe by the invoice due date is cause for removal of the Client's website files from Sitejibe's hosting server. Client agrees that Sitejibe shall not be held liable for such removal or disconnection.


    II. Taxes:

    Sitejibe shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to be paid in accordance with or related to sales made from the Client using Sitejibe's server. The Client agrees to take full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated with such products sold by the Client.


    III. Material and Products:

    1. The Client will provide Sitejibe with material and data in a condition that is "server-ready", which is in a form requiring no additional manipulation on the part of Sitejibe. Sitejibe shall make no effort to validate this information for content, correctness or usability.

    2. Use of Sitejibe's service requires a certain level of knowledge in the use of Internet languages, protocols, and software. This level of knowledge varies depending on the anticipated use and desired content of the Client's web space by the Client. The following examples are offered: § Web Publishing: Knowledge of HTML, properly locating and linking documents, the use of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) devices, graphics, text, sound, image mapping, etc. § CGI-Scripts: Knowledge of the UNIX environment, TAR & GUNZIP commands, Perl, CShell scripts, permissions, etc. § Autoresponders: Knowledge of mReply autoresponder, forwarding mail, use of mail by Client to receive mail, etc.

    4. Sitejibe will exercise certain controls and restraints over the content of the information passing through the network. Our guidelines for such restraints can be found in our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Use of any information obtained by way of Sitejibe is at the Client's own risk, and Sitejibe specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its services. Connection speed represents the speed of a connection to and does not represent guarantees of available end-to-end bandwidth. Sitejibe expressly limits its damages to the Client for any non-accessibility time or other down time to the monthly pro-ration charge during the system unavailability. Sitejibe specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequence of such unavailability.

Sitejibe agrees to notify the Client immediately of its refusal of the material and afford the Client the opportunity to amend or modify the material to satisfy the needs and/or requirements of Sitejibe. If the Client fails to modify the material, as directed by Sitejibe, within a reasonable period of time, which shall be determined between the parties themselves, the Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated.

Sitejibe reserves the right to charge a reinstatement fee when deemed applicable.


    IX. Limited Liability:

    X. Lawful Purpose:

    The Client may only use Sitejibe's server for lawful purpose. Transmission of any material in violation of any Federal, State or Local regulation is prohibited.

    XII. Domain Name Ownership:

    1. Any domain name registered by Sitejibe on behalf of the Client is the property of said Client after the Client has paid Sitejibe any registration fees that Sitejibe has incurred on behalf of the Client. Sitejibe claims no ownership over Client's domain names that the Client has paid to register. At its option, Sitejibe will either arrange for any billing for names registered by Sitejibe on behalf of Client to be sent directly by the registrar or agent thereof to the Client, or Sitejibe will directly bill the Client for these registration fees plus applicable expenses, and/or service charges, if any.

    2. Client agrees that Sitejibe may be presented with information that Client's domain name possibly violates the trademark rights or other intellectual property rights of a trademark or other intellectual property rights owner. In case of such action, Client agrees to the following:

    a. Client agrees to hold Sitejibe harmless of any action taken by such owner regardless of the outcome of such dispute and regardless of whether the domain name service hosting for Client's domain is handled by Sitejibe. b. Client agrees that Sitejibe has the right to discontinue the domain registration in the event of such dispute over a Client's domain name.

    c. Client agrees that should Sitejibe discontinue name service for Client's domain upon notification of such dispute, that Sitejibe will not be liable for any loss of business, interruption of business, loss of Client's domain name, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if Sitejibe has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

    d. In no event shall Sitejibe's maximum liability exceed one hundred ($100.00) dollars. 3. Client agrees that a Sitejibe contact person shall be named as the "technical or zone contact" for any domains hosted at Sitejibe. Client agrees that Sitejibe may create and use network resources with the Client's domain name for administrative, testing, and network infrastructure enhancement purposes.
