NOTE TO SUBSCRIBER: CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING LEGAL AGREEMENT.
1. USE OF THIS Service (the
"Service") consists of the right of a Subscriber of the Service
("Subscriber") to electronically transmit and store computer data
using either a private data communications network, or the Internet into a
location maintained by Network Options, Inc. ("Provider") and to
retrieve said data should they be required.
The Service is made available by Provider to Subscriber during the
period Subscriber maintains a paid subscription to the Service. Subscriber must
be a currently licensed user of Provider's software for Services where software
is required to provision access. Services include, but are not limited to, any on-site or remote system or network administration, backup or data hosting, domain name registration or hosting, email/website/application/server or other hardware
hosting.
2. These terms and any additional Operating
Rules published by Provider from time to time constitute the entire and only
agreement (collectively, the "Agreement") between Provider and
Subscriber (including Subscriber's designated users) with respect to the
Service and supersede all other communications and agreements with regard to
the subject matter hereof. Upon notice published over the Service, Provider may
modify this Agreement, the Operating Rules or prices, and may discontinue or
revise any or all other aspects of the Service at its sole discretion and
without advance notice. Unless otherwise agreed, Subscriber's right to use the
Service or to designate users is not transferable and is subject to any limits
established by Provider.
3. Subscriber shall pay in advance any registration
or service fees and other charges incurred by Subscriber or Subscriber's
designated users at the rates in effect for the billing period in which those
charges are incurred. For situations
where credit card payment is utilized, Subscriber shall maintain a current
authorization for Provider to debit Subscriber's credit card account for such
amounts. In addition, Subscriber shall
provide Provider a current street address and Internet e-mail address for
future communications and shall immediately notify Provider of any change of
address. Subscriber shall pay all applicable taxes related to use of the
Service by Subscriber or Subscriber's designated users. For situations where the Subscriber's credit
card issuing financial institution has been notified of a payment dispute, said
Subscriber agrees that proof of Service usage by Subscriber constitutes
Subscriber authorization to submit payment request to Credit Card issuing
financial institution. Provider may, in
addition, at its sole discretion and without notice to the Subscriber, (a)
suspend its performance under this Agreement and deny Subscriber's and
Subscriber's designated users' access to and use of the Service until
Subscriber is back in good standing, or (b) terminate this Agreement and
Subscriber's and Subscriber's designated users' access to and the use of the
Service. Such suspension or termination
may result in the erasure of all information submitted by Subscriber, and
Subscriber hereby agrees to hold Network Options, Inc. harmless for such erasure,
as well as for any claims arising there from.
Further, Provider may cancel the Service to Subscriber without cause
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.
Subscriber must provide Provider with written notice of Subscriber's
intent to terminate use of the Service.
At the time of cancellation, the Subscribers access to any of
Subscribers data stored by the Service may be permanently terminated. Provider will not provide a refund for any
unused portion of the Services paid in advance by Subscriber.
4. No bailment, leasehold, or similar
obligation is created between Subscriber (and/or
Subscriber's designated users) and Provider with respect to Subscriber's stored
data. Subscriber is solely responsible
for maintaining the confidentiality of Passwords, including restricting the use
of the Password by Subscriber's designated users. Subscriber shall be

SUBSCRIBER'S DESIGNATED USERS, OR OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICE TO MONITOR, SUPERVISE OR OVERSEE THE CONTENTS OF FILES STORED ON THE
SERVICE. Provider IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
PROVIDING SUBSCRIBER WITH PASSWORDS IN THE EVENT OF A FORGOTTEN PASSWORD. WITHOUT THE CORRECT PASSWORD, SUBSCRIBERS
DATA WILL REMAIN ENCRYPTED AND INACCESSIBLE, AND SUBSCIBER HEREBY HOLDS
HARMLESS AND RELEASES Provider FROM ANY CLAIM RELATING TO SUCH LOSS.

storage, possession or transmission of any information, the possession,
creation or transmission of which violates any state, local or federal law,
including without limitation, stolen materials, illegally downloaded or
uploaded songs, movies or other media protected by Federal copyright law,

Provider ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS OR OTHERS
WITHOUT SUBSCRIBER'S CONSENT UPON PRESENTATION TO SUBSCRIBER OR Provider OF A SEARCH WARRANT OR SUBPOENA, FROM ANY PARTY.

against liability for use of Subscriber's account which liability is a direct
or indirect result of Subscriber's misuse or negligent use of its account(s).
7. Provider may make copies of all files
stored as part of the back up and recovery of servers utilized in connection
with some of the Services. Provider is
not obligated to archive such copies and will utilize them only for backup or
other purposes. Such copies will not be
