1. Term and Payment for Services

1.1. Term. This Agreement shall be for an "Initial Term" as chosen by you in the Order Form located on this Site at the time you register for the Services. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the Initial Term unless you provide RainWorx Hosting with notice of termination thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term. You must provide RainWorx Hosting with your notice of termination in writing or as otherwise provided by this Agreement. Upon canceling service, you will be asked to provide RainWorx Hosting with sufficient customer identification information so that RainWorx Hosting may properly identify you and your account. Any notice of termination will be effective following thirty (30) days after RainWorx Hosting's receipt thereof.

1.2. Termination Policy. If you terminate your receipt of the Services prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable, (a) RainWorx Hosting will refund to you any fees paid in advance of such termination and (b) the refunded amount shall be equal to the discounted amount of the remainder of whole months remaining in the billing cycle, less the plan period discount applicable to the whole number of months in which service has already been provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you terminate your receipt of Hosting Services prior to the end of the first thirty (30) days of the Initial Term, you are entitled to a refund of the fees you paid in advance for the monthly Services, not including any set-up fees. Your termination request or notice must be submitted to RainWorx Hosting in the manner described in Section 1.1.

1.3 Default and Cure. In the event that either party hereto defaults in the performance of any of its material duties or obligations under this Agreement, including failure to make any payments due under this Agreement, and such default is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying the default, then the party not in default, after given written notice thereof to the defaulting party, may terminate this Agreement.

1.4. Charges. You agree to pay for all charges attributable to your use of the Services at the then current RainWorx Hosting prices, which shall be exclusive of any applicable taxes. You are responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise, duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services, other than taxes based on RainWorx Hosting's net income.

1.5. Payment. All charges for Services must be paid in advance according to the then current prices applicable to the Services. Upon entering this Agreement, you must choose to pay either by direct charge to a credit or debit card. Since you are required to pay by credit or debit card upon registering for the Services, you thereby authorize RainWorx Hosting to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. You agree that RainWorx Hosting may accumulate any supplemental charges, incurred by you in your use of the Services ("Supplemental Charges") until such charges exceed $20 and then charge your account. You must notify RainWorx Hosting of any changes to your card account (including, without limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address, or any information that may prohibit RainWorx Hosting from charging your account. If you fail to pay any fees and taxes within five (5) days from applicable due date for credit card or invoice payments, late charges of the lesser of one and one-half per cent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowable under applicable law shall also become payable by you to RainWorx Hosting. In addition, your failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within seven (7) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying RainWorx Hosting's suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. You are responsible for any fees associated with reinstatement of Services. Any such suspension or termination would not relieve you from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of collection enforcement, you will be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

2. Use of Services

2.1. Applicable Use Policy. The RainWorx Hosting Acceptable Use Policy (the "Usage Policy") govern the general policies and procedures for use of the Services.

RainWorx Hosting will notify you of its refusal of the material and afford you the opportunity to amend or modify the material to satisfy the needs and/or requirements of RainWorx Hosting. Use of the Services 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 your Web site. You must have the necessary knowledge to create and maintain a Web site. It is not RainWorx Hosting's responsibility to provide this knowledge or customer support outside of the Services agreed to by you and RainWorx Hosting.

2.3. Bandwidth and Storage Usage. You agree that use of the Services under this Agreement will not exceed the bandwidth and storage usage limits set out. If you use any bandwidth or storage space in excess of the agreed upon number of megabytes per month, you agree to pay the associated additional charges.

2.4 Uptime guarantee. RainWorx Hosting shall make all reasonable attempts to provide a 99.93% server uptime. This uptime shall be monitored. The 99.93% uptime shall be monitored and computed as the aggregate uptime of each calendar month. In the case that RainWorx Hosting fails to provide uptime equal to, or in excess of 99.93%, customer shall be credited an amount that is equal to the prorated amount of time that service was not available. The credited amount shall be rounded to the nearest quarter hour, and shall be applied at the subscribed billing amount, including any discounts given.

RainWorx Hosting Acceptable Use Policy

As a provider of web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, RainWorx Hosting offers its customers (also known as subscribers), and their customers and users, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. RainWorx Hosting respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, RainWorx Hosting reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, RainWorx Hosting has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing RainWorx Hosting's services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of RainWorx Hosting's services after changes to the AUP are posted on RainWorx Hosting's web site, www.RainWorx Hosting.com, will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.

One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that RainWorx Hosting cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because RainWorx Hosting cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, RainWorx Hosting cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.

When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that RainWorx Hosting does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over RainWorx Hosting's network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and nonsubscribers of RainWorx Hosting, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may harm RainWorx Hosting's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate RainWorx Hosting policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming -- Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming"). It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward RainWorx Hosting, but also because it can overload RainWorx Hosting's network and disrupt service to RainWorx Hosting subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, RainWorx Hosting has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list.

Intellectual Property Violations -- Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. RainWorx Hosting is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also RainWorx Hosting's policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.

Obscene Speech or Materials -- Using RainWorx Hosting's network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available pornography or obscene speech or material. Also, RainWorx Hosting is required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through RainWorx Hosting's network.

Defamatory or Abusive Language -- Using RainWorx Hosting's network as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.

Forging of Headers -- Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks -- Accessing illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's system (often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities -- Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing, or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service, or equipment.

Facilitating a Violation of this AUP -- Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mail bombing, denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.

Export Control Violations -- Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.

Other Illegal Activities -- Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, and pirating software.

Other Activities -- Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that RainWorx Hosting determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. RainWorx Hosting will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that they comply with RainWorx Hosting policy or applicable law. When RainWorx Hosting becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.
