Orange Steeple Web Hosting Agreement

This agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and Orange Steeple with respect to the Orange Steeple web hosting services and supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications relating to the subject matter of this agreement.

1. Order Acceptance, Payment.
A. All orders are subject to acceptance by Orange Steeple. An order will be deemed accepted by Orange Steeple when Orange Steeple sends written confirmation of the order to Customer.

B. Orange Steeple shall charge Customer's credit card for the applicable set-up fees and monthly fees according to the package(s) selected by Customer and provided by Orange Steeple. Such fees and charges shall include, without limitation, the fees for connectivity, design services, and charges by any and all third parties whose materials are included as part of the Package(s). Orange Steeple reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges and institute new fees and charges upon prior notice to Customer. Customer must provide Orange Steeple with a valid credit card number to which Orange Steeple will automatically charge all Orange Steeple fees as they become due. All monthly fees and set-up fees shall be due in advance of the month incurred and all additional charges shall be due at the end of the month in which such charges are incurred. The set-up fees are nonrefundable and Orange Steeple does not issue pro rata refunds for fees paid in advance.

C. If payment by Customer's credit card is denied, or Customer's charge is returned to Orange Steeple for any reason, including charge back or Customer otherwise fails to make any payments owed to Orange Steeple, Orange Steeple may, at Orange Steeple's discretion, suspend or terminate access to the Orange Steeple services and/or terminate this Agreement. Customer's right to use the Orange Steeple services are subject to any limits established by Orange Steeple or by the issuer of Customer's credit card. Invoices are set out on the first of the month and are due on the 15th. Customers are charged a $20 late fee if they fail to make payment by the 15th. Invoices not paid in full 15 days after the due date will be suspended. A $20 reactivation fee is required to be paid prior to reactivation.  The reactivation fee applies to each separate hosting package. Interest charges of 1% per month will accrue daily on any unpaid balance, which is more than thirty (30) days overdue. Customer shall be responsible for any and all taxes related to this Agreement.


2. Orange Steeple Services.
A. Orange Steeple will provide the web hosting services provided in the service package chosen by Customer, and set forth in Exhibit A, for such Web Site therein identified, including a dedicated server or space on a shared server, connection of the server to the Internet, maintenance on the server, e-mail, and file transfer services as provided in the chosen service package, automated server resource monitoring and limited log file generation and access. Orange Steeple may utilize equipment and services provided by third parties and Customer shall not obtain any right or title in any Orange Steeple or third party equipment or software.

B. Unless otherwise indicated on Schedule A hereto, the Web Site shall be accessible to third parties via the World Wide Web portion of the Internet twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, except for scheduled maintenance and required repairs, and except for any loss or interruption of Hosting services due to causes beyond the control of Orange Steeple or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Orange Steeple, including, but not limited to, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links and Internet slow-downs or failures.

C. If so indicated on Exhibit A, Orange Steeple shall register on behalf of Customer such domain name as is listed on Exhibit A, provided that such domain name is available for registration and does not violate any InterNIC or other registration services' policies, or any law or regulation. Customer agrees to promptly reimburse to Orange Steeple any fees paid by Orange Steeple to InterNIC or other registration services with respect to the registration and maintenance of such domain name. Orange Steeple shall not be responsible for Customer's failure to renew domain name registrations. In the event of any dispute or cause of action arising out of or related to Customer's domain name used in connection with the Web Site, upon Customer's request, Orange Steeple will attempt to register with InterNIC an alternative domain name chosen by Customer and attempt to make the Web Site available over the Internet under such alternative name for an additional fee to be charged to Customer pursuant to a fee to be agreed upon in advance by the parties.

D. In the event that the Web Site requires disk storage, bandwidth use, or number of email accounts on the Orange Steeple Server which exceeds those limits set forth in the selected Hosting package, Customer may (for such additional fees as are agreed upon in advance by the parties) request that Orange Steeple (a) upgrade the level of Hosting Services, or (b) acquire additional incremental disk storage, bandwidth overage allotment, or email accounts to be included in the Hosting Services. For such additional fees as shall be agreed upon by the parties, Orange Steeple shall perform such revisions, updates, deletions, enhancements or modifications (the "Updates") to the Web Site as may be requested by Customer.

E. Orange Steeple may from time to time establish, in good faith, general practices and limits concerning use of Customer's Account or the Web Site. Customer assumes sole responsibility for: (a) acquiring any authorization(s) necessary for hypertext links to third party Web sites; and (b) the accuracy of materials provided to Orange Steeple, including, without limitation, Customer content, descriptive claims, warranties, guarantees, nature of business, and address where business is conducted; and (c) ensuring that the Customer Content does not infringe or violate any right of any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Orange Steeple reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to exclude or remove from the Web Site any hypertext links to third party web sites, any Customer Content on the Web Site, or other content not supplied by Orange Steeple which, in Orange Steeple' sole reasonable discretion, may violate or infringe any law or third party rights or which otherwise exposes or potentially exposes Orange Steeple to civil or criminal liability or public ridicule, provided that such right shall not place an obligation on Orange Steeple to monitor or exert editorial control over the Web Site.

F. The services and software offered are subject to change and limitation at Orange Steeple' sole discretion, as is any pricing schedule. Orange Steeple will notify Customer of any changes by electronic mail to Customer, unless the change is judged by Orange Steeple to be necessary to preserve proper security or functioning of Orange Steeple' system. If Customer objects to any change in service, unless the change is one Orange Steeple has determined is necessary for security purposes or to maintain proper operation of Orange Steeple' system, Customer will be entitled to cancel its account. Customer's continued use of the Orange Steeple Web Hosting services after the effective date of such modified general terms and conditions, policies, or changes in services or software will constitute Customer's acceptance of such modified terms.
