3. WARRANTIES: With respect to the service to be provided herein, the Client acknowledges that WorldConnX makes absolutely no warranties whatsoever, express or implied. As a result, the Client agrees that WorldConnX shall not be liable to the Client for any claims or damages which may be suffered by the Client, including, but not limited to, losses or damages resulting from the loss of data (including database data in any format), email data, delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions.

Payments are due by the first of the month.

WorldConnX reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deactivate your account(s) without further warning upon an indication of credit problems including delinquent payments, or if this service contract is violated, or if Client's account or the traffic on this account causes any kind of network or server problem or disturbances.

7. UNILATERAL SERVICE REVOCATION: In the event that WorldConnX may at any time believes that the service is being utilized for unlawful purposes by the Client or in contravention with the terms and provisions herewith, WorldConnX may immediately discontinue such service to the Client without liability.

Also, WorldConnX does not allow our servers to be used to process scripts and forms which do not directly relate to the account which we host. Basically, if it's related to your site, that's fine. If it's related to someone else's site, it should be on their server.

Email Services: Email accounts (POP3) are intended to be used directly by the individual/company/organization associated with the domain that we host. It is strongly recommended to use an email program like Outlook Express to retrieve the email from the POP3 account and store the emails locally. Due to the ever-changing nature of email, the email POP3 accounts are not backed up (unless service is included in the Domain Hosting Agreement), and in accordance with Item 3 above, WorldConnX shall not be liable for any loss of email data stored on the email server(s). Storage of received, sent and any other format of email is considered in determining the total disk space used for the account. Likewise, email traffic is considered in determining the total traffic/bandwidth used by the account.

Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless WorldConnX for any claim resulting from the submission of illegal materials, any and all loss, cost, expense, and damages on account of any and all manner of claims, demands, actions, and proceedings that may be initiated against WorldConnX on the grounds of such violation.

10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING: This instrument and the Domain Hosting Agreement for web space constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and represent the complete and entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

11. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States of America. In the event that any term or provision of this instrument is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this instrument and the agreement which it evidences, shall remain in full force and effect.

12. CGI-SCRIPTS: You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, as long as it does not negatively affect another site on the Internet, nor can it be used for anything illegal. WorldConnX reserves the right to disable any CGI script or script access on an account.

14. LOG FILES: Log files may be deleted on a periodic basis. Users are responsible for downloading their log files if user needs the log files. It is recommended that clients who wish to maintain a history of their log files download them monthly.

15. CPU, MEMORY, DISK SPACE: It is a violation for anyone to post information or to include programs, scripts, images on the web space provided through the WorldConnX services which consume excessive bandwidth, CPU time or storage space. For most web sites (probably over 90%) this isn't even an issue. If your site(s) violate this agreement, WorldConnX will make every effort to contact you to correct the problem, however WorldConnX reserves the right to de-activate your site(s) service immediately and it will become subject to termination. We understand sites grow, and may need more disk space. That isn't the concern here. Extremely excessive disk space usage is not permitted.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, and in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, do hereby execute this instrument, with each party warranting their ability to enter into this agreement for the person or entity herein named as a party hereto.
