Service Terms and Conditions (Terms of Service/TOS)

GENERAL

SERVICES

This Service Agreement (“Agreement”) applies to the purchase from Your I.T. Consulting, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “YOUR I.T. CONSULTING”) of all services (collectively, the “Services”) selected by Customer on the Order Form and the Domain Name Registration Form, as applicable, incorporated by reference and attached hereto, if any, except that if Customer is also ordering colocation and/or web site production services, Customer is also required to sign the agreements specific to those services. YOUR I.T. CONSULTING reserves the right to modify its network and facilities used to provide the Services for purposes including but not limited to accommodating evolving technology and increased network demand, and providing enhanced services. YOUR I.T. CONSULTING shall use reasonable efforts to notify Customer of any planned changes to YOUR I.T. CONSULTING’s network or facilities that may adversely affect the Services provided hereunder.

TERM

This Agreement shall be for the term specified by Customer on the Order Form or Domain Name Registration Form or Your I.T. Consulting, LLC Quote, as applicable (the ÏInitial TermÓ). If no terms have been specified, the term of this Agreement shall be in-force as described below. The term is six (6) months continuous service. If termination by Customer occurs prior to the sixth (6th) month of continuous service, Customer shall pay the remainder of the term as liquidated damages. Except in the case of Dial-up customers, this Agreement will be automatically renewed, at the end of the Initial Term, on a month-to-month basis unless either party provides sixty (60) days written notice to the other of termination of this Agreement prior to the end of the then current term. The Initial Term and all month-to-month extensions thereof are collectively referred to herein as the ÏTermÓ of this Agreement. Dial-up CustomersÌ contracts are on a month-to-month basis.

BILLING AND PAYMENT

Pricing: During the term of this Agreement, Customer shall pay the fees for the Services that are set forth on the Quote for services or Estimate provided, as applicable. Such fees may include taxes, fees or assessments by governmental agencies and YOUR I.T. CONSULTING shall have the right, at any time, to pass through and invoice to Customer any new or increased taxes, fees, assessments or other charges imposed on or required to be collected by YOUR I.T. CONSULTING by any governmental agency.

Terms Of Payment: Invoices are due and payable upon receipt. All payments shall be made in U.S. currency.

Service Continuation After Initial Term: The fees set forth in the Order Form or Domain Name Registration Form are guaranteed during the Initial Term of this Agreement. If Customer continues to receive the Services after the Initial Term without entering into a new agreement or agreement extension, the fees charged after the Initial Term shall be at the then standard YOUR I.T. CONSULTING rates for such services, without discount, determined month to month.

Service Charge: Customer will pay a late payment charge equal to 1.5% (or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever is lower) per month or portion thereof on the outstanding balance of any invoice remaining unpaid thirty (30) days after the date upon which payment is due.

Suspension Or Interruption Of Service For Non-Payment: In the event Customer’s account becomes past due, or is otherwise deemed insecure, YOUR I.T. CONSULTING may, in its sole discretion, suspend, interrupt or disconnect the Services. In the event of such suspension, interruption or disconnection, Customer may be required to post a deposit or such other security, as YOUR I.T. CONSULTING deems necessary in order to resume receiving the Services. In addition, if YOUR I.T. CONSULTING in its sole discretion, deems Customer to be financially insecure, YOUR I.T. CONSULTING may require such other action of Customer, including letters of credit, security deposit(s), restrictions on available credit or other action as YOUR I.T. CONSULTING may require from time to time regardless of CustomerÌs then-current status or payment history. Failure to satisfy YOUR I.T. CONSULTING’s request for such action within timelines set by YOUR I.T. CONSULTING may result in immediate termination of service without further notice.

ACCEPTABLE USES

Customer shall at all times adhere to the YOUR I.T. CONSULTING Acceptable Use Policy located at http://www.internetdesigncompany.com/accept.asp, as amended from time to time by YOUR I.T. CONSULTING effective upon posting of the revised policy at the URL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, YOUR I.T. CONSULTING may immediately take corrective action, including disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or terminate this Agreement in the event of notice of possible violation by Customer of the YOUR I.T. CONSULTING Acceptable Use Policy. In the event YOUR I.T. CONSULTING takes corrective action due to a violation of the YOUR I.T. CONSULTING Acceptable Use Policy, YOUR I.T. CONSULTING shall not refund to Customer any fees paid in advance of such corrective action.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Customer may terminate this Agreement by giving YOUR I.T. CONSULTING at least sixty (60) days prior written notice. However, Customer remains obligated to pay all amounts remaining in the Initial Term, and if YOUR I.T. CONSULTING has purchased equipment on behalf of Customer, including but not limited to circuit and router, Customer shall assume responsibility for payments for such equipment, until paid in full.

In order to terminate early, CustomerÌs primary contact person on the account should notify YOUR I.T. CONSULTING of such request to do so. In the case of credit card orders, all termination requests should be signed by CustomerÌs primary contact person on the account who must provide the last four digits of the credit card on file with YOUR I.T. CONSULTING. However, YOUR I.T. CONSULTING shall not be liable for unauthorized termination of an account.

Any termination by YOUR I.T. CONSULTING or Customer shall not relieve Customer of any obligations to pay fees accrued prior to such termination. In the event that a Dial-up Customer primary account holder cancels service, service will be cancelled immediately, and the remainder of the monthly payment forfeited. YOUR I.T. CONSULTING reserves the right to terminate this Agreement without cause prior to the end of the term upon sixty (60) days written notice to Customer.
