Term and Payment for Services
Term: This Agreement will be for an initial "Term" of one
(1) month from the date the Services are first provided by
YoungSpiders. This Agreement will be automatically renewed
(the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term or any
Renewal Term for a period of one (1) month unless you
provide YoungSpiders with written notice of termination at
least seven days (7) before the end of the Initial Term or
Renewal Term (also referred to interchangeably and
collectively as "Term"), whichever is then applicable. To
provide your notice of termination, you must submit a
billing request at
http://secure.YoungSpiders.com
and fill out the corresponding cancellation form to initiate
the cancellation of your service. In the event of a service
failure within the
http://secure.YoungSpiders.com
system, you may also submit your cancellation via facsimile
to the number shown for YoungSpiders Managed Hosting below
under "Notices".
Use Prohibited
Pornography
Federal exploitation statutes set forth the illegality of
possession, production, reception, transport or distribution
of any sexually explicit depiction.
Any user found to commit this type of abuse will have
service suspended immediately until remedy or face service
termination. Repeat offenders will be promptly terminated.
Illegal Use
Users may not transmit, retransmit or store materials in
violation of any federal, state or local laws or
regulations. Users may not abuse or fraudulently use
products or services offered by YoungSpiders nor
allow/permit such use by clients or third parties. This
includes but is not limited to trademark infringement,
defamation, indecency or obscenity.
Network Filtering/Blocking
Users in violation of any provision set forth in this
document may have content or traffic blocked or filtered as
a remedy of abuse. Notification of such filtering/blocking
likely will be sent to the user, however there is no
guarantee that such notification will be sent.
Filtering/blocking may be manual or automatic depending on
the nature of the offense.
Email - READ CAREFULLY
The sending of bulk mail is ONLY permitted AFTER
Confirmed Opt-In has been verified by the Abuse Desk.
Starting such a mail campaign without the approval of
YoungSpider's Abuse Desk will result in service suspension
until verification and approval has been made. Complaints
generated in regards to bulk mail are immediately deemed as
proof that the recipient did not request such emails and
therefore is considered abuse.
Prohibited:
- Spam. Sending Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or
Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) for any purpose
whatsoever.
- Spamvertising. Having third parties send out UBE /UCE
on any user's behalf to advertise URLs or any service on
YoungSpider's network.
Users must configure any email server in such a way that
it will not accept third party emails for forwarding such as
an open relay. SMTP servers must be configured in such a way
that any user must authenticate to send email.
YoungSpider's Abuse Desk will not send/forward complaints
to users for the purposes of listwashing. Should a user have
received permission from YoungSpider's Abuse Desk to run a
true "Confirmed Opt-in" campaign, complaints will be handled
in such a fashion that the sender may remove the recipient
from their list after they have proven to the Abuse Desk
that the user did opt-in. Any approved campaign found to be
operating using third party "bought" lists where opt-in
confirmation cannot provided, service will be suspended.
Further, time stamps and IP addresses in a database with a
recipient's mail address WILL NOT suffice as sufficient
proof of Confirmed Opt-in. We will need to inspect the
confirmation emails' headers to make sure @aol came from aol
servers, etc. Recording a time stamp, email address and IP
address is not Confirmed Opt-in.
Notification
- A physical or electronic signature of a person
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive
right that is allegedly infringed. [As an electronic
signature, YoungSpider's agent accepts facsimile/fax and
digitized image of your signature attached to electronic
mail.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to
have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works
at a single online site are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works at
that site.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be
infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity
and that is to be removed or access to which is to be
disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to
permit the service provider to locate the material.
[Please include a URL such as http://... or ftp://...
identifying the material or representative material. If
possible specify any IDs, passwords, or other
authorization required to access the material. Please
specify date, time, and time zone from which the
material was observed. Technicians may require time
information in order to identify dynamically assigned
internet locations.]
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit the
service provider to contact the complaining party, such
as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an
electronic mail address at which the complaining party
may be contacted.
- A statement that the complaining party has a good
faith belief that use of the material in the manner
complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner,
its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification
is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the
complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the
owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Abuse
Hacking, cracking, distribution of viruses, fraudulent
activities, network sabotage, pyramid schemes, phishing,
and/or any conduct deemed illegal or unwanted shall be
subject to suspension or termination. Users are responsible
for the proper secure configuration of their services and
are responsible for any damages caused by their neglect or
exposure of vulnerabilities whether intentional or
unintentional.
Termination
This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by you or
YoungSpiders during any Renewal Term, without cause, by
giving the other party no less than 7 days prior written
notice; (ii) by YoungSpiders in the event of nonpayment by
you as provided in the section below or (iii) by
YoungSpiders, at any time, without notice, if, in
YoungSpiders sole judgment, you are in violation of any
terms or conditions of the AUP. If you terminate this
Agreement, or if YoungSpiders terminates this Agreement for
your breach, before the end of the Initial Term or the
Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable, you will be
required to pay immediately all fees and costs accrued
before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for
each month remaining in the Term and any other amounts you
owe to YoungSpiders under this Agreement. In no event will
YoungSpiders be liable for any damages resulting from
termination or suspension of your services, with or without
notice.
Charges
You will pay all charges for your use of the Services at
the then current YoungSpiders prices for that category of
service or any special offer applicable to your account as
determined by YoungSpiders. You are responsible for paying
all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added,
import/export, excise duty and any other taxes assessed with
respect to the Services, other than taxes based on
YoungSpiders net income. You are responsible for all costs
of collection of all amounts owed under this Agreement,
including reasonable attorney's fees of YoungSpiders.
YoungSpiders DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY ANALOG PAYMENTS. ALL
PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE VIA ELECTRONIC MEANS AND AS
PREAPPROVED BY YoungSpiders.
Payment and Fees
You will pay all charges for the first month of service
in advance on the first day of the Initial Term.
Establishment of this service is contingent upon receipt of
payment from you to YoungSpiders. You will pay all
subsequent charges for Services in advance on the
anniversary day of each month. You authorize YoungSpiders to
charge your credit or debit card, paypal account, or other
electronic draft mechanism as approved by YoungSpiders, to
pay for any charges that may apply to your account. You must
notify YoungSpiders of any changes to your card account
including applicable account number, billing address,
registered phone number, or cancellation or expiration of
the account. Your failure to fully pay any fees and taxes
within 72 hours from the applicable due date is a material
breach of this Agreement, justifying YoungSpiders to suspend
its performance and terminate this Agreement. If
YoungSpiders terminates for your material breach, you will
be required to pay immediately all fees and costs accrued
before the termination date, all monthly recurring fees for
each month remaining in the term, if any, and any other
amounts you owe to YoungSpiders under this Agreement. You
are responsible for any costs that YoungSpiders incurs in
enforcing collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
court costs and collection agency fees.
Refund and Disputes
ALL PAYMENTS TO YoungSpiders ARE NONREFUNDABLE. This
includes any applicable setup fees and subsequent charges
regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes
must be reported within 60 days of the time that the dispute
occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card
YoungSpiders may, at it's sole discretion, terminate all
services associated with your account, however, this will
not relieve you of your obligations under this agreement.
Failure to Pay
The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate
this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges
when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve the
Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued
charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.
In the event of a material breech of this agreement due to
non- or late payment of your services, all data, files,
logs, and other information on or associated with your
service will be, at YoungSpiders's sole discretion, deleted
or otherwise destroyed. In no event will YoungSpiders be
liable for preservation of data subsequent to you breeching
this agreement.
Payment is due on the defined monthly recurring billing
date of each month. Credit cards that are declined for any
reason are subject to a $10.00 declination fee. Service will
be interrupted on accounts that reach 10 days past due.
Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $200.00
reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject
to a $7.95 late fee. Accounts that are not collectable by
YoungSpiders will be turned over to an outside agency for
collection. If your account is turned over for collection,
you agree to pay the company a "Processing and Collection"
Fee of not less than Fifty ($50.00) nor more than One
Hundred, Fifty ($150.00)
Delinquent Reseller Accounts:
Should your reseller account become delinquent, and
payment not made to YoungSpiders, within 10 days of the due
date, service is subject to termination as outlined above.
Once a reseller account is terminated or suspended for
non-payment YoungSpiders may, at YoungSpiders's sole
discretion, allow your customers to purchase the service
previously bought from you directly from YoungSpiders, and
assume financial responsibility for the service from that
point forward. Under no circumstances will YoungSpiders be
liable for continuing service relationships with your
customers subsequent to your termination or suspension for
non-payment.
