Terms & Conditions
| These Terms and Conditions apply to our Web Hosting Service only. |
| 1. AGREEMENT.
In this Web Hosting Service Agreement ("Agreement") "you" and "your"
refer to each customer, "we", us" and "our" refer to XS Innovation Inc.(XSi)
"Services" refers to the services provided by us, including our web hosting
services. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains
your obligations to us for various Services. By selecting our Services
you have agreed to establish an account with us for such Services. When
you use your account or permit someone else to use it to purchase or
otherwise acquire access to additional Services or to cancel your
Services (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this
Agreement covers such services or actions. By using the Services under
this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to be
bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any pertinent
rules or policies that are or may be published by us. |
| 2. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM. As consideration for the services you have selected, you agree to pay us the applicable service(s) fees.
All fees payable hereunder are non-refundable.
As further consideration for the Services, you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete and accurate information
about you as required by the registration process and (2) maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current,
complete and accurate. All such information shall be referred to as account information ("Account Information").
You represent that the statements you have made in are true and you will not use our
Services for any unlawful purpose.
|
| 2a. BILLING.
If you have purchased a package that is billed monthly your credit card
will be charged every month on the day you first purchased ANY
products. XSi currently uses Paypal to handle monthly billing. New
Accounts will not be created until a Paypal subscription has been
created. XSi also accepts personal checks if you the customer are
willing to pay one year up front. |
| 2b. CANCELLATION. If you do
not wish to renew your Monthly or Annual Service agreement you must
cancel your account by sending an email to xsinn@verizon.net, or
contact your account representative directly. Canceling an account does
not equal "refunding" an account. A cancellation refers to the removal
of user materials from our systems and the deactivation of services.
You will be required to pay any outstanding charges owed. Domain Name
Registrations CANNOT be cancelled. As the purchaser of the Domain Name
you are the Domain Name's owner until the term of the Domain Name's
registration has expired. |
| 2c. BILLING DISPUTES AND BANK CHARGE BACKS. All Bank Disputes and Bank Issued Charge Backs result in the complete cancellation
of your account. All Bank Disputes and Charge Backs are reported to the issuer's Credit Agency. Charge Backs result in the
forfeiture of all XSi services AND the purchaser's Domain Name. You will be charged a $40.00 reactivation fee in order to
reactivate your account after a Bank Charge Back.
|
| 2d. SERVICE CHANGES.
At any point during your term of use of XSi services, you may upgrade
or downgrade services or accounts as needed. A $25 fee will be
associated with any web hosting account upgrade or downgrade. Services
are subject to predefined fees. |
| 3. BILLING FOR ADDITIONAL FILE TRANSFERS.
XSi automatically bills customers for excess file transfer
("bandwidth") usage. Customers are allocated a set amount of file
transfer with their hosting service depending on the package level
purchased. If you exceed the amount of file transfer you receive as
part of your package you will be billed $0.01 per MB. This charge is
incurred without notification. You will be billed for these charges, if
payment is not received within 30 days of being billed, your account
will be cancelled. The overage is calculated by monitoring the amount
and size of the files transferred from your account. These charges are
made at the sole discretion of XSi and are non disputable. |

without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system, broadcast attacks; forging of
any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

|
| 9. ACTIONS TAKEN BY XSi.
Your failure to meet or follow any of the Terms and Conditions set
forth by XSi is grounds for account deactivation. XSi will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of its Terms and
Conditions. XSi reserves the right to remove any account without
prior notice. When XSi becomes aware of an alleged violation of its
Terms and Conditions, XSi will initiate an investigation. During the
investigation, XSi may restrict a customer's access in order to
prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the
severity of the violation, XSi may, at its sole discretion, restrict,
suspend, or terminate a customer's web hosting account and/or pursue
other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, XSi
will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such
violation. |

by e-mail or regular mail as per the Notices section of this agreement,

Service(s). We and our contractors shall not be liable for any direct,
indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from
the use or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of
procurement of substitute services. Because some states do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or

extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or liability
resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting
from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability
resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or

site or email service. You agree that we will not be liable for
interruption of business, 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 we have been advised of the possibility of such
damages. In no event shall our maximum liability exceed one hundred
($100.00) dollars. |
| 13. INDEMNITY. You agree to
release, indemnify, and hold us, our contractors, agents, employees,
officers, directors and affiliates harmless from all liabilities,
claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, of third parties
relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Services provided
hereunder or your use of the Services, including without limitation
infringement by you, or someone else using the E-mail Service with your
computer, of any intellectual property or other proprietary right of
any person or entity, or from the violation of any of our operating
rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided. When we are
threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written assurances
from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your failure to
provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your
Agreement and may result in termination of our Services to you. |
| 14. BREACH. You agree that
failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule
or policy provided by us, may be considered by us to be a material
breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the breach,
to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice,
you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us,
that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then
we may terminate our Services, including but not limited to our web
hosting services, without further notice. Any such breach by you shall
not be deemed to be excused simply because we did not act earlier in
response to that, or any other breach by you. |

does not confer immunity from objection to either the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.

joint enterprise between the parties.
