1. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM

As consideration for the Services, you agree to pay us the applicable service fees http://www.wyenet.com/legal/fee_schedule.html ("Fees") for all Services that you have selected or use. All Fees are fully earned when due and are nonrefundable. As further consideration for the Services, you agree to: provide current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process, including current credit card information, credit card authorization and contact information (collectively "Customer Account Information")., and maintain and update this Customer Account Information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate throughout the "Term". The "Term" of this Agreement is from your first selection or use of our Services, whichever is earlier, through the last to occur of (i) your use of any Services, (ii) the expiration (see � 3 below re automatic renewal) of the period of Services that you have selected (e.g. monthly or annual service).

WYENET SERVICES reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, your account and access to our Services for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice. Absent our termination of this Agreement or an express written instruction from you to close your account and terminate the Services that you have selected (see � 4 below re termination of automatic renewal), you understand and agree that Fees will continue to be incurred by you and you hereby agree to pay all such Fees when due. You acknowledge that the nature of the Services furnished and the initial rates and charges applicable to such Services have been communicated to you. You are aware that WYENET SERVICES may change or add Fees at any time. By accepting the terms of this Agreement and each time that you access or use our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to pay the Fees in effect at the time of such use. It is your responsibility to access the Fee Schedule regularly to ensure that you remain aware of the Fees that govern your use of the Services and of any changes to the Fees.

2. BILLING

During the Term, the first date on which you purchase any of our Services is your Billing Anniversary Date. If you have purchased a package that is billed monthly, your credit card will be charged every month and your Billing Anniversary Date will occur every month. If you have purchased a package that is billed yearly, your credit card will be charged every year and your Billing Anniversary Date will occur every year. Changes to the Fee Schedule will be effective immediately, except that changes in Fees for Services you have prepaid will be effective on the next Billing Anniversary Date. Additional fees and charges incurred by you under this Agreement will generally be charged in the period following the event resulting in the charge.

3. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

For ease of use and in order to provide uninterrupted service, among other reasons, you hereby instruct us to renew and extend your Services automatically on each Billing Anniversary Date until the next Billing Anniversary Date, unless you notify us in writing in accordance with � 4 below at least 5 business days in advance of the next Billing Anniversary Date.

4. TERMINATION OF AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

If you desire to terminate this Agreement and the Services you are receiving, or if you desire not to have your monthly or annual Service renewed, you must terminate your account at least 5 days prior to renewal date by creating a support ticket in your CLIENT AREA. Click the Client Login link at top of page, login using the email address in which we send your invoices (primary account holder's email address on file), and submit a cancelation ticket indicating the service(s) and related domain name you wish to cancel. Indicate if you wish immediate effect and removal of all your files / customer materials associated with your service or removal of said files / customer materials at expiration date of your service. All termination instructions must be submitted to us in writing in a support ticket. Our Fees are nonrefundable and terminations do not result in a refund. A termination will result in the deactivation of Services and removal (and ultimately the deletion) of your user materials from our systems. All Fees are fully earned when due and are nonrefundable. All sections shall survive the termination of this Agreement. WYENET SERVICES does not accept and will not recognize cancellations by email or any means other than via a support ticket with request to cancel specified service(s).

NOTE: As you can imagine, anyone can impersonate our clients through phone or by spoofing the reply address in emails. We protect our clients by requiring any cancelation through a submitted support ticket in your Client Area only.

5. BILLING AND CHARGEBACKS

Our Fees are payable and due immediately on your Billing Anniversary Date. WYENET SERVICES reserves the right to terminate your access to Services immediately and without notice to you in the event of any non-payment of our Fees. There is no "grace period". All "bounced" or NSF checks, "chargebacks" or reversals of credit card charges and other canceled or refused payments of our Fees (collectively "Nonpay") may result in the immediate termination of Services and the closure of your account. We may also report any Nonpay to the credit monitoring agencies. In the event that your Services are terminated due to nonpayment or a Nonpay, you must pay us all monies due to bring your account current, plus if you desire renewed access to our Services, you will be charged a $40.00 reactivation fee to restart your account, as well as the costs of any bank and other charges that we incur or that we have incurred as a result of a Nonpay. You agree and warrant to us that the Customer Account information that you provide to us to register for our Services, including contact and credit card information, is accurate and complete. You agree to contact us at accounts@support.intervision.net and update such information as and when such changes occur in order that we have current and complete information for your account at all times.

WYENET SERVICES is not responsible for attracting visitors to your website. It is the responsibility of the person renting the server or website hosting service to administer and operate their sites and assigned server. Billings for websites that are unpaid for 5 calendar days may, without further advance notification, result in the reassignment of the server IP addresses that you have been using.

6. SERVICE CHARGES

We will waive our $10.00 service charge for upgrades and expansions of Services. You will be charged the $10.00 service change fee each time you downgrade your website or hosting package to a lower priced package. Each Domain Name System ("DNS") change will incur a service charge of $10.00. There is a service charge of $25.00 per domain for each domain transferred out of your WYENET SERVICES account. All late payments accepted by us that are more than 5 calendar days past due will incur an additional $20 service charge. Additional charges may also apply so please access the Fee Schedule regularly to ensure that you remain aware of the Fees that govern your use of the Services and of any changes to the Fees.

7. BILLING FOR ADDITIONAL BANDWIDTH

You agree to pay WYENET SERVICES for excess file transfer ("bandwidth") usage. Each customer is allocated a set amount of file transfer usage with their hosting service depending on the package level purchased. If you exceed the amount of file transfer usage you receive as part of your package you will be billed $30 for each MB used that is over your allocation. If bandwidth usage is deemed by us, in our sole discretion, to exceed your allotment, the overage will be determined (by tracking the amount and size of the files transferred from your account and comparing it to your allocation). Excess bandwidth usage charges are incurred automatically and without further advance notification. If you are billed monthly for our services the overage charge will generally be attached to your monthly credit card charge. If you are billed yearly for our Services the overage will generally be billed to your credit card the month following your overage. Excess bandwidth usage determinations are made at the sole discretion of WYENET SERVICES.

Misuse of system resources, including but not limited to employing posts or programs which consume excessive CPU time or storage space, permitting use of mail services, mail forwarding capabilities, POP accounts, or auto responders (other than for your own account), resale of access to CGI scripts installed on WYENET SERVICES's servers, or attempting to use a single customer account for third party websites by allowing more than one domain pointer to be used to reference pages within your site is not permitted.

26. CHAT ROOMS

WYENET SERVICES does not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. Client chat rooms degrade our Services. Therefore, while WYENET SERVICES may provide chat rooms for an additional fee (contact accounts@support.intervision.net for pricing and availability) we will do so only if server performance remains unhindered.

27. BACKGROUND PROGRAMS

WYENET SERVICES may, in its sole discretion, allow programs that do not degrade our Services to run continually in the background. However, these programs must be approved by us on an individual basis and an extra charge may be incurred based on system resources used and operational demands. If you desire to run any background programs you must contact us at accounts@support.intervision.net before doing so. WYENET SERVICES does not permit Internet Relay Chat (IRC) or IRC "bots" of any kind, no matter how small to be operated on our servers.

28. MAIL CONFIGURATIONS

WYENET SERVICES supports email connectivity to our servers directly. This means you specify POP3 and SMTP server names in your email client to connect to us directly to receive email on behalf of your domain. Any requests for MX record changes to support any other configuration will result in additional charges.

29. PRICING

All pricing on all services are subject to change without notice upon next renewal date. Pricing changes, if any, will appear on customers’ invoice at which time they may choose to renew or cancel. Our customers may have noticed that historically and compared to industry norms we always strive to maintain the lowest prices possible.

30. DOMAIN REGISTRATION & GRACE AND REDEMPTION PERIODS

EXPIRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION: Immediately after the expiration of the term of domain name registration services and before deletion of the domain name in the applicable registry's database, we may direct the domain name to name-servers and IP address(es) designated by us, including, without limitation, to no IP address or to IP address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial search engine that may display advertisements, and we may either leave your WHOIS information intact or we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name.

Reactivation Period Process. For a period of approximately thirty (30) days after expiration of the term of domain name registration services, we may provide a procedure by which expired domain name registration services may be renewed. We may, but are not obligated to, offer this process, called the "reactivation period” or “redemption period". You assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until close to or after the expiration of the original term of domain name registration services to attempt to renew the domain name registration services. We may, in our sole discretion, choose not to offer a reactivation period and we shall not be liable therefore. The reactivation period renewal process, if any, may involve additional fees which we and your Primary Service Provider may determine. We may make expired domain name services(s) available to third parties, we may auction off the rights to expired domain name services (the auction beginning close to the end or after the end of the reactivation period), and/or expired domain name registration services may be re-registered to any party at any time.

After the reactivation period, if any, we may:

Discontinue the domain name registration services at any time thereafter without notice. In which case, certain registry administrators may provide procedures by which discontinued domain name registration services may nonetheless be renewed. We will participate in this process, typically called the "Redemption Grace Period" ("RGP"), for each gTLD registry administrator that provides it. We may, in our sole discretion, choose not to participate in the RGP process with respect to any or all of your ccTLD domain name registration services and we shall not be liable therefore. If available, RGP typically ends between thirty (30) and forty-two (42) days after the end of the reactivation period of the domain name services. The current RGP fee is set forth on the Pricing Page and does not include any registration fees that may also be due. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being discontinued; or

Pay the registry's registration fee or otherwise provide for the registration services to be continued. In which case, we may then set the name-servers and the DNS settings for the domain name services, we may set the DNS to point to no IP address or to IP address(es) which host parking page(s) or a commercial search engine that may display paid advertisements, and we may change the contact information in the WHOIS output for the expired domain name so that you are no longer the listed registrant of the expired domain name. We do not have to pay you any of the proceeds we may earn as a result. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are being continued. The domain name will be designated as being in the extended redemption grace period ("ERGP"), and you will be allowed to assume, during the first 120 days of the then extant registration term, complete management of the domain name services, including the right to control the DNS settings, provided that you pay the ERGP fee (which is the same as the RGP fee) plus any registration fees. After the end of the 120-day period, if you do not exercise your rights under this provision, you have abandoned the domain name services, and relinquish all interests and use of the domain name services; or

If we auctioned the domain name services to a third party, we may transfer the domain name registration services to such third party. In which case, the third party who won the auction for the domain name services will control the domain name services, including control over the WHOIS information and the DNS settings. You may recover the domain name registration services prior to the end of the reactivation period, as such reactivation period applied to you. We are not obliged to contact you to alert you that the domain name registration services are or were auctioned. We do not have to pay you any of the proceeds we may earn as a result of such an auction.

TRANSFERS:

Transfer of your domain name(s) services shall be governed by ICANN's transfer policy, available at http://www.icann.org/transfers/, including the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/dispute-policy-12jul04.htm as well as the UDRP and URS as described in Section 17 of this Agreement, as these policies may be modified from time to time. To transfer your domain name(s) you should first login to your Account to lock or unlock your domain name(s) and/or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" which is required to transfer domain services in an EPP registry (such as .org). Alternatively, you should contact your Primary Service Provider to have your domain name(s) services locked or unlocked or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode." If your Primary Service Provider is unresponsive, you may contact us to have your domain name(s) locked or unlocked or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" though we may first contact your Primary Service Provider to request that the Primary Service Provider address the request. Only the registrant and the administrative contacts listed in the WHOIS information may approve or deny a transfer request. Without limitation, domain name services may not be transferred within sixty (60) days of initial registration, within sixty (60) days of a transfer, if there is a dispute regarding the identity of the domain name registrant, if you are bankrupt, or if you fail to pay fees when due. We will follow the procedures for both gaining and losing registrars as outlined in ICANN's transfer policies. Transfer requests typically take five (5) business days to be processed. A transfer will not be processed if, during this time, the domain name registration services expire, in which event you may need to reinstate the transfer request following a redemption of the domain name, if any. You may be required to resubmit a transfer request if there is a communication failure or other problem at either our end or at the registry. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR FAILURE OF A TRANSFER WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS INITIATED CLOSE TO THE END OF A REGISTRATION TERM.

Upon initial registration, we may place a "Registrar Lock" ("ClientTransferProhibited" status) on your domain name services and this will prevent your domain name services from being transferred without your authorization, though we are not required to do so. By allowing your domain name services to remain locked, you provide express objection to any and all transfer requests until the lock is removed, which may be done within your Account.

You explicitly authorize us to act as your "Designated Agent" (as defined in ICANN's transfer policy) to approve each "Change of Registrant" (as defined in ICANN's transfer policy) on your behalf.

Wyenet provides that extra level of attentive service you require at prices you can afford. Join us today and see the difference.
