Order,
Acceptance and Service:
When Accepted by JITSL, the Order submitted by Customer
creates a contract between Customer and JITSL, consisting
of the Order, the applicable Service Description and these
Terms of Service. An Order is Accepted by JITSL
when (i) with respect to Orders submitted online, JITSL
provides Services in response to the Order or bills Customer
for payment and (ii) with respect to Orders reduced to writing
and signed on an approved JITSL form, when an authorized
representative of JITSL executes and delivers such form
signed by Customer.
JITSL will provide, and Customer will purchase and pay for,
the Services specified in the Order for the service fees
specified in the Order and the applicable Service Description
(the Service Fees).
In connection with any Hosting Services, Customer will not
use storage space in excess of the storage limits established
for the Services in the Service Descriptions, plus any storage
space purchased by Customer. If Customer uses storage space
in excess of such amounts, JITSL may, without limiting its
other rights or remedies, assess Customer with additional
fees.
In connection with any Hosting Services, if Customers
actual bandwidth usage in any month exceeds the limit in
the Service Description, Customer will pay JITSL such additional
fees as may be specified in the Service Description.
Fees, Taxes and Payment:
Customer will pay to JITSL the Service Fees in the manner
set forth in the Order. JITSL may increase the Service Fees
(i) in the manner permitted in the Service Description and
(ii) at any time on or after expiration of the Initial Term
by providing ten (10) days prior written notice thereof
to Customer. The Service Fees do not include any applicable
sales, use, revenue, excise or other taxes imposed by any
taxing authority with respect to the Services or any software
provided hereunder (excluding any tax on JITSLs net
income). All such taxes will be added to JITSLs invoices
for the Service Fees as separate charges to be paid by Customer.
All fees are fully earned when due and non-refundable when
paid. Unless otherwise specified, invoices for the Service
Fees and related charges shall be due and payable within
30 days after the date of the invoice. If any invoice is
not paid within 45 days after the date of the invoice, JITSL
may charge Customer a late fee of $15 for such invoice;
in addition any amounts payable to JITSL not paid when due
will bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent
(1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law, whichever is less. If JITSL collects any payment due
at law or through an attorney at law or under advice there
from or through a collection agency, or if JITSL prevails
in any action to which the Customer and JITSL are parties,
Customer will pay all costs of collection, arbitration and
litigation, including, without limitation, all court costs
and JITSLs reasonable attorneys fees. If any
check is returned for insufficient funds JITSL may impose
a processing charge of $25.
Term and Termination:
Hosting Services will commence on the Effective Date indicated
in the Order and continue for the duration of the Initial
Term. Thereafter, the Order will automatically renew for
successive one month periods unless the Order is earlier
terminated in accordance with its terms or either party
gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal at
least 30 days prior to expiration of the then-current term.
Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon
the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:
(i) the other party fails to pay when due any amounts required
to be paid under this Agreement; (ii) the other party breaches
any material term or provision of this Agreement (other
than a breach described in subsection (i) above), and if
capable of cure, such breach remains uncured 30 days after
the non-breaching party gives written notice thereof to
the breaching party; or (iii) the other party becomes insolvent,
makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, institutes
or becomes subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy
or similar laws for the relief of debtors, or seeks the
appointment of, or becomes subject to the appoint of, any
trustee or receiver for all or any portion of such partys
assets
JITSL may terminate this Agreement (i) if the Services are
prohibited by applicable law, or become impractical or unfeasible
for any technical, legal or regulatory reason, by giving
Customer as much prior notice as reasonably practicable
or (ii) immediately by giving written notice to Customer,
if JITSL determines in good faith that Customers use
of the Customer Web site or the Customer Content violates
the Acceptable Use Policy.
Upon termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason
whatsoever, neither party shall have any further rights
or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly
set forth herein. The provisions of Sections 3(d), 4, 8,
10, 11, 13 and 15 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason
whatsoever, and, notwithstanding the expiration or termination
of this Agreement, the parties shall each remain liable
to the other for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore
arising under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement
and retention of pre-paid fees and charges shall be in addition
to, and not be in lieu of, any other legal or equitable
rights or remedies to which JITSL may be entitled.
With respect to Non-Prepaid Plans, within 30 days after
the termination of this Agreement, Customer will pay the
Termination Charge to JITSL unless (i) JITSL terminated
the Order under Section 3(c) or (ii) Customer terminated
the Order under Section 3(b). With respect to Prepaid Plans,
Customer will pay the Termination Charge as provided in
the Service Description. The parties agree that the Termination
Charge constitutes consideration for JITSLs time,
effort and expense in preparing and reserving the capacity
to perform its obligations hereunder, as actual damages
are difficult to ascertain. If Customer terminates the Order
in accordance with Section 3(b), or if JITSL terminates
the Order under Sections 3(c)(i) or 12(c), JITSL shall return
to Customer, and Customer shall accept, as Customers
sole and exclusive remedy for JITSLs breach of the
Order, any Service Fees paid in advance by Customer hereunder
attributable to Services not yet rendered as of the date
of termination.
Customers Representations and Warranties. Customer
hereby represents and warrants to JITSL, and agrees that
during the Term Customer will ensure that: (a) Customer

other aspects of the Customer Content and the goods or services
provided through the Customer Web site.
Customer will cooperate fully with JITSL in connection with
JITSLs performance of the Services. Customer must
provide any equipment or software that may be necessary
for Customer to use the Services. Delays in Customers
performance of its obligations under this Agreement will
extend the time for JITSLs performance of its obligations
that depend on Customers performance on a day for
day basis. Customer will notify JITSL of any change in Customers
mailing address, telephone, e-mail
or other contact information.
Customer assumes full responsibility for providing End Users

features of the Customer Web site and any goods or services
described therein, as well as any rules, terms or conditions
of use.
Customer will provide JITSL with a registered domain name
for the Customer Web site, or, upon Customers request
and subject to JITSLs Domain Name Registration Terms
and Conditions, the provisions of which are incorporated
herein by this reference, JITSL will register an Internet
Domain name on behalf of Customer
Because the Hosting Services permit Customer to electronically
transmit or upload content directly to the Customer Web
site, Customer shall be fully responsible for uploading
all content to the Customer Web site and supplementing,
modifying and updating the Customer Web site. Customer is
also responsible for ensuring that the Customer Content
and all aspects of the Customer Web site are compatible
with the hardware and software used by JITSL to provide
the Hosting Services, as the same may be changed by JITSL
from time to time. Specifications for the hardware and software
used by JITSL to provide the Hosting Services will be available
on JITSLs Web site. Customer shall periodically access
JITSLs Web site to determine if JITSL has made any
changes thereto. JITSL shall not be responsible for any
damages to the Customer Content, the Customer Web site or
other damages or any malfunctions or service interruptions
caused by any failure of the Customer Content or any aspect
of the Customer Web site to be compatible with the hardware
and software used by JITSL to provide the Hosting Services.
Unless the applicable Service Description provides otherwise,
Customer is solely responsible for making back-up copies
of the Customer Web site and Customer Content.
JITSL Intellectual Property.
JITSL hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable,
royalty-free license, exercisable solely during the term
of this Agreement, to use applicable JITSL Technology solely
for the purpose of accessing and using the Services. Customer
may not use the JITSL Technology for any purpose other than
accessing and using the Services. Except for the rights
expressly granted above, this Agreement does not transfer
from JITSL to Customer any JITSL Technology, and all rights,
titles and interests in and to the JITSL Technology shall
remain solely with JITSL. Customer shall not, directly or
indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or
otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets
from any of the JITSL Technology.
JITSLs trademarks, tradenames, service marks, logos,
other names and marks, and related product and service names,
design marks and slogans are the sole and exclusive property
of JITSL. Customer may not use any of the foregoing in any
advertising, publicity or in any other commercial manner
without the prior written consent of JITSL. JITSL shall
maintain and control ownership of all Internet protocol
numbers and addresses that may be assigned by JITSL to Customer.
JITSL may, in its sole discretion, change or remove any
and all such Internet protocol numbers and addresses.
Any feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions,
ideas or the like which Customer sends to JITSL relating
to the Services will be treated as being non-confidential
and non-proprietary. JITSL may use, disclose or publish
any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in
such information for any purpose whatsoever.
Limited Warranty.
JITSL represents and warrants to Customer that the Services
will be performed (i) in a manner consistent with industry
standards reasonably applicable to the performance thereof;
(ii) at least at the same level of service as provided by
JITSL generally to its other customers for the same services;
and (iii) in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable Service Descriptions. Customer will be deemed
to have accepted such Services unless Customer notifies
JITSL within 30 days after performance of any Services of
any breach of the foregoing warranties. Customers
sole and exclusive remedy, and JITSLs sole obligation,
for breach of the foregoing warranties shall be for JITSL,
at its option, to re-perform the defective Services at no
cost to Customer, or, in the event of interruptions to the
Services caused by a breach of the foregoing warranties,
issue Customer a credit in an amount equal to the current
monthly Service Fees pro rated by the number of hours in
which the Services have been interrupted. JITSL may provision
the Services from any of its data centers and may from time
to time re-provision the Services from different data centers.
The foregoing warranties shall not apply to performance
issues or defects in the Services (i) caused by factors
outside of JITSLs reasonable control; (ii) that resulted
from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third parties;
or (iii) that resulted from Customers equipment or
any third-party equipment not within the sole control of
JITSL.

WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,

HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS THE SAME. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
FOREGOING, ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER

IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
JITSL CANNOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS SERVICE, SERVICE AT ANY
PARTICULAR TIME, INTEGRITY OF DATA, INFORMATION OR CONTENT
STORED OR TRANSMITTED VIA THE INTERNET. JITSL WILL NOT BE

BE LIABLE IN ANY WAY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON
FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA
OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LICENSES OR
SERVICES OR SIMILAR ECONOMIC LOSS, OR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SIMILAR
DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, UNDER
ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT HEREUNDER, ARISING OUT OF OR
IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF
ANY ORDER, OR (EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 11 AND 12)
FOR ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY BY A THIRD PARTY,
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH CLAIM OR DAMAGES.
The limitations contained in this Section 10 apply to all
causes of action in the aggregate, whether based in contract,
tort or any other legal theory (including strict liability),
other than claims based on fraud or willful misconduct.
The limitations contained in Section 10(c) shall not apply
to liability arising on account of a partys breach
of Section 13 or to Customers indemnification obligations
under Section 11.
Indemnification of JITSL. Customer shall defend, indemnify
and hold harmless JITSL, its affiliates and their respective
present, former and future officers, directors, employees
and agents, and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns (collectively the JITSL Indemnitees),
from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, liabilities
and expenses (including, without limitation, amounts paid
in settlement and reasonable attorneys fees) which
any of the JITSL Indemnitees may suffer, incur or sustain
resulting from or arising out of (i) Customers breach
of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in
the Agreement, (ii) the Customer Content, the Customer Web
site or any End Users use of the Customer Content
or the Customer Web site, (iii) violation by Customer or
any of its officers, directors, employees or agents of the
Acceptable Use Policy or any applicable law, (iv) claims
or actions of third parties alleging misappropriation of
trade secrets or infringement of patents, copyrights, trademarks
or other intellectual property rights arising from the use,
display or publication of Customers domain names,
the Customer Web site, the Customer Content, or the use
of the Services in combination with hardware, software or
content not provided by JITSL, (v) claims or actions by
third parties relating to or arising out of Customers
use of the Services, and (vi) any failure of the Customer
Content or any aspect of the Customer Web site to be compatible
with the hardware or software used by JITSL to provide the
Services, including any damage to JITSLs servers or
other hardware caused thereby.
Indemnification of Customer.
Subject to Section 10, JITSL shall, at its own expense,
indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from any claim
or suit alleging that the Services infringe any United States
patent, copyright or trademark existing on the Effective
Date, or that JITSL has knowingly misappropriated any trade
secret or other intellectual property right of any other
Person, including any losses, damages or expenses arising
from any such claim or suit. Customer agrees to cooperate
with and assist JITSL in the defense or settlement of any
such claim or suit. Customer shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing
any cooperation or assistance requested by JITSL, but JITSL
will not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without
its prior written authorization.
Promptly after receipt by Customer of a threat of any claim
or suit, or a notice of the commencement or filing of any
claim or suit, against which Customer may be indemnified
hereunder, Customer shall give written notice thereof to
JITSL, provided that failure to give or delay in giving
such notice to JITSL shall not relieve JITSL of any liability
it may have to Customer hereunder, except to the extent
that the defense of such claim or suit is prejudiced thereby.
JITSL shall have sole control of the defense, and of all
negotiations for settlement, of such claim or suit. Subject
to the foregoing, Customer may participate in the defense
of any such claim or suit at Customers own expense.
If an injunction, decree or judgment is, or JITSL believes
in its sole discretion is likely to be, entered providing
that Customer may not use the Services as contemplated in
this Agreement without violating the intellectual property
rights of a third party, JITSL may, at its sole option and
expense, either (i) procure for Customer the right to use
the Services or affected part thereof as provided in this
Agreement; (ii) replace the Services or affected part thereof
with other non-infringing services or modify the Services
or affected part thereof so as to be non-infringing; or
(iii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer.
Notwithstanding Section 12(a), JITSL assumes no liability
for infringement claims arising from (i) use of the Services
with third-party products or services where the third-party
products or services cause the infringement, (ii) any modification
of the Services not authorized by JITSL in writing, (iii)
the Customer Content, the Customer Web site or any content,
data or information provided or supplied by an End User,
or (iv) Customers use of any third-party software
provided hereunder. THE FOREGOING DEFENSE AND INDEMNIFICATION
PROVISIONS STATE THE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION OF
JITSL, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF CUSTOMER, WITH RESPECT
TO ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHT BY THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation.
Each party will not, without the prior written consent of
the other party, use or disclose to any Person any Proprietary
Information of the other party disclosed or made available
to it, except for use of such Proprietary Information as
required in connection with the performance of its obligations
or use of the Services hereunder. Subject to Section 13(b),
each party will (i) treat the Proprietary Information of
the other party as secret and confidential, (ii) limit access
to the Proprietary Information of the party to those of
its employees who require it in order to effectuate the
purposes of this Agreement, and (iii) not disclose the Proprietary
Information of the other party to any other Person without
the prior written consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding Section 13(a), the following shall not be
considered Proprietary Information: (i) any information
that the receiving party can demonstrate by written documentation
was within its legitimate possession prior to the time of
disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) any information
that was in the public domain prior to disclosure by the
disclosing party as evidenced by documents that were published
prior to such disclosure; (iii) any information that, after
disclosure by the disclosing party, comes into the public
domain through no fault of the receiving party, (iv) any
information that is disclosed to the receiving party without
restriction by a third party who has legitimate possession
thereof and the legal right to make such disclosure; or
(v) any information that, two years after expiration or
termination of this Agreement, does not constitute a trade
secret under applicable law.
Each party acknowledges that disclosure of any aspect of
the Proprietary Information of the other party shall immediately
give rise to continuing irreparable injury to the other
party inadequately compensable in damages at law, and, without
prejudice to any other remedy available to the other party,
shall entitle the other party to injunctive or other equitable
relief. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement
for any reason, each party shall promptly return to the
other party all Proprietary Information of the other party
(including all copies thereof) in its possession or control.
During the term of this Agreement and for two years following
expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer will
not, directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit the services
of any employee of JITSL performing services under this
Agreement, while such employee is employed by JITSL and
for a period of six months after such employee has left
the employment of JITSL.
Optional Services. In connection with any Optional Services:
Customer must provide JITSL with any information, login
identifications, passwords or other information or access
to facilities that JITSL may reasonably require to provide
the Optional Services JITSL will have no responsibility
for any delays or increased costs or expenses associated
with Customers failure to provide any of such information.
If Customer does not provide any such information or access
requested by JITSL within fifteen (15) days of JITSLs
request therefor, JITSL may terminate the Order and retain
any Service Fees paid.
If Customer requested that JITSL perform the Optional Services
by a particular deadline or that JITSL achieve some particular
result or outcome, JITSL will use commercially reasonable
best efforts to perform the Services by any such deadline
and achieve the result requested by Customer; provided,
however, that (i) JITSLs ability to perform the Services
is subject to Customers provision of information and
access as provided above and (ii) JITSL has no liability
or obligation to complete the Services by any deadline or
achieve any particular outcome or result
If Customer wishes to convey documents or files to JITSL,
Customer should deliver to JITSL a copy or duplicate of
such documents or files and not the original copy. JITSL
will not return to Customer any documents or files conveyed
to JITSL.
JITSL will have no liability or responsibility for any damage,
loss of data, loss of use or other loss occurring in connection
with JITSLs provision of Optional Services requested
by Customer.

into any agreements in the name of the other party, or to

Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, including
documents incorporated herein by reference, supersedes all
prior discussions, negotiations and agreements between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this
Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby.
In case of a conflict between this Agreement and any purchase
order, service order, work order, confirmation, correspondence
or other communication of Customer or JITSL, the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control. No additional
terms or conditions relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement shall be effective unless approved in writing

from time to time by JITSL in its sole discretion, which
modifications will be effective upon posting to JITSL's
web site.
Severability. All rights and restrictions contained in this
Agreement may be exercised and shall be applicable and binding
only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable
laws and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary
so that they will not render this Agreement illegal, invalid
or unenforceable. If any provision or portion of any provision
of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is
the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions
or portions thereof shall constitute their agreement with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining
provisions or portions thereof shall remain in full force
and effect.
Notices. All notices and demands required or contemplated
hereunder by one party to the other shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly made and given upon
date of delivery if delivered in person or by an overnight
delivery or postal service, upon receipt if delivered by
facsimile the receipt of which is confirmed by the recipient,
or upon the expiration of five days after the date of posting
if mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses
or facsimile numbers set forth below the parties signatures.
Either party may change its address or facsimile number
for purposes of this Agreement by notice in writing to the
other party as provided herein. JITSL may give written notice
to Customer via e-mail to the Customers e-mail address
as maintained in JITSLs billing records.
Waiver. No failure or delay by any party hereto to exercise
any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right or remedy by any party preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
No express waiver or assent by any party hereto to any breach
of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement
shall constitute a waiver of or an assent to any succeeding
breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition
hereof.
Assignment; Successors. Customer may not assign or transfer
this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder,
without the prior written consent of JITSL. Any attempted
assignment in violation of the foregoing provision shall
be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever. JITSL
may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
and may engage subcontractors or agents in performing its
duties and exercising its rights hereunder, without the
consent of Customer. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Limitation of Actions. No action, regardless of form, arising
by reason of or in connection with this Agreement may be
brought by either party more than two years after the cause
of action has arisen.
Counterparts. If this Agreement is signed manually, it may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. If this Agreement
is signed electronically, JITSLs records of such execution
shall be presumed accurate unless proven otherwise.
Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for any default or
delay in the performance of any of its obligations under
this Agreement (other than failure to make payments when
due) if such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly,
by forces beyond such partys reasonable control, including,
without limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, labor disputes,
accidents, acts of war or terrorism, interruptions of transportation
or communications, supply shortages or the failure of any
third party to perform any commitment relative to the production
or delivery of any equipment or material required for such
party to perform its obligations hereunder.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is
intended, nor shall anything herein be construed to confer
any rights, legal or equitable, in any Person other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges
and agrees that Microsoft, and any supplier of third-party
supplier that is identified as a third-party beneficiary
in the Service Description, is an intended third-party beneficiary
of the provisions set forth in this Agreement as they relate
specifically to its products or services and shall have
the right to enforce directly the terms and conditions of
this Agreement with respect to its products or services
against Customer as if it were a party to this Agreement.
Government Regulations. Customer may not export, re-export,
transfer or make available, whether directly or indirectly,
any regulated item or information to anyone outside the
United States in connection with this Agreement without
