- When Accepted by Digital Rage, the Order submitted
by Customer creates a contract between Customer and
Digital Rage, consisting of the Order, the applicable
Service Description and these Terms of Service. An
Order is “Accepted” by Digital Rage when (i) with
respect to Orders submitted online, Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage form,
when an authorized representative of Digital Rage executes
and delivers such form signed by Customer.
- Digital Rage 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, Digital Rage may, without limiting its
other rights or remedies, assess Customer with additional
fees.
- In connection with any Hosting Services,
if Customer’s actual bandwidth usage in any month
exceeds the limit in the Service Description, Customer
will pay Digital Rage such additional fees as may
be specified in the Service Description. Fees will
be assessed as the overages occur at a rate of $35
per gigabyte of overage.
- Fees, Taxes and Payment.
Customer will pay to Digital Rage the Service Fees
in the manner set forth in the Order. Digital Rage
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
Digital Rage’s net income). All such taxes will be
added to Digital Rage’s 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, Digital Rage may charge Customer
a late fee of $15 for such invoice; in addition any
amounts payable to Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage
collects any payment due at law or through an attorney
at law or under advice therefrom or through a collection
agency, or if Digital Rage prevails in any action
to which the Customer and Digital Rage are parties,
Customer will pay all costs of collection, arbitration
and litigation, including, without limitation, all
court costs and Digital Rage’s reasonable attorneys’
fees. If any check is returned for insufficient funds
Digital Rage 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 (1 month, 3 months, 6 months,
or 12 months, as indicated in the signup process).
Thereafter, the Order will automatically renew for
successive periods (equal to the initial term which
was selected, after any free months) 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 party’s assets
- Digital Rage may terminate this Agreement
for any reason including (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 Digital Rage determines in
good faith that Customer’s 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 Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage unless
(i) Digital Rage 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
Digital Rage’s 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 Digital Rage terminates the
Order under Sections 3(c)(i) or 12(c),
Digital Rage shall return to Customer, and Customer shall
accept, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for
Digital Rage’s 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.
- Customer’s Representations and Warranties.

or other compensation of any kind to any Person; (b)
Customer’s use, publication and display of the Customer

time. The Acceptable Use Policy is hereby incorporated
herein and made a part hereof by this reference. Customer

performance of its obligations that depend on Customer’s
performance on a day for day basis. Customer will
notify Digital Rage of any change in Customer’s mailing
address, telephone, e-mail or other contact information.
- Customer assumes full responsibility for

- 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 Digital Rage to provide the Hosting

interruptions caused by any failure of the Customer
Content or any aspect of the Customer Web site to

Digital Rage Technology solely for the purpose of accessing
and using the Services. Customer may not use the Digital Rage
Technology for any purpose other than accessing and
using the Services. Except for the rights expressly
granted above, this Agreement does not transfer from
Digital Rage to Customer any Digital Rage Technology, and
all rights, titles and interests in and to the Digital Rage
Technology shall remain solely with Digital Rage. 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
Digital Rage Technology.

may not use any of the foregoing in any advertising,
publicity or in any other commercial manner without
the prior written consent of Digital Rage. Digital Rage

by Digital Rage to Customer. Digital Rage may, in its sole
discretion, change or remove any and all such Internet

consistent with industry standards reasonably applicable
to the performance thereof; (ii) at least at the same
level of service as provided by Digital Rage generally

(iii) in compliance in all material respects with
the applicable Service Descriptions. Customer will
be deemed to have accepted such Services unless Customer
notifies Digital Rage within 30 days after performance
of any Services of any breach of the foregoing warranties.
Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Digital Rage’s
sole obligation, for breach of the foregoing warranties
shall be for Digital Rage, 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. Digital Rage may
provision the Services from any of its data centers
and may from time to time re-provision the Services
from different data centers.

to performance issues or defects in the Services (i)
caused by factors outside of Digital Rage’s reasonable

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 party’s breach
of Section 13 or to Customer’s indemnification
obligations under Section 11.
- Indemnification of Digital Rage.
Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
Digital Rage, 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 “Digital Rage
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 Digital Rage
Indemnitees may suffer, incur or sustain resulting
from or arising out of (i) Customer’s breach of any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained in
the Agreement, (ii) the Customer Content, the Customer
Web site or any End User’s 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

from the use, display or publication of Customer’s
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
Digital Rage, (v) claims or actions by third parties
relating to or arising out of Customer’s 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 Digital Rage to
provide the Services, including any damage to Digital Rage’s
servers or other hardware caused thereby.
- Indemnification of Customer.
- Subject to Section 10, Digital Rage
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 Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage, but Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage, provided that
failure to give or delay in giving such notice to
Digital Rage shall not relieve Digital Rage of any liability
it may have to Customer hereunder, except to the extent
that the defense of such claim or suit is prejudiced
thereby. Digital Rage 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 Customer’s own expense.
- If an injunction, decree or judgment is,
or Digital Rage 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, Digital Rage 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), Digital Rage
assumes no liability for infringement claims arising
from (i) use of the Services with third-party products

Services not authorized by Digital Rage 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) Customer’s use of any third-party
software provided hereunder. THE FOREGOING DEFENSE
AND INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS STATE THE ENTIRE LIABILITY
AND OBLIGATION OF Digital Rage, AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
OF CUSTOMER, WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED
INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT BY
THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER.

written consent of the other party, use or disclose

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,

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

with any Optional Services:
- Customer must provide Digital Rage with any
information, login identifications, passwords or other
information or access to facilities that Digital Rage
may reasonably require to provide the Optional Services
Digital Rage will have no responsibility for any delays
or increased costs or expenses associated with Customer’s
failure to provide any of such information. If Customer
does not provide any such information or access requested
by Digital Rage within fifteen (15) days of Digital Rage’s
request therefor, Digital Rage may terminate the Order
and retain any Service Fees paid.
- If Customer requested that Digital Rage perform
the Optional Services by a particular deadline or
that Digital Rage achieve some particular result or outcome,
Digital Rage 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) Digital Rage’s ability to perform the Services
is subject to Customer’s provision of information
and access as provided above and (ii) Digital Rage 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 Digital Rage, Customer should deliver to
Digital Rage a copy or duplicate of such documents or
files and not the original copy. Digital Rage will not
return to Customer any documents or files conveyed
to Digital Rage.
- Digital Rage will have no liability or
responsibility for any damage, loss of data, loss
of use or other loss occurring in connection with
Digital Rage’s provision of Optional Services requested
by Customer.
- Independent Contractor. Digital Rage
and Customer are independent contractors and nothing
contained in this Agreement places Digital Rage and Customer
in the relationship of principal and agent, master
and servant, partners or joint venturers. Neither
party has, expressly or by implication, or may represent
itself as having, any authority to make contracts
or enter into any agreements in the name of the other
party, or to obligate or bind the other party in any
manner whatsoever.

controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this Agreement, the formation of this Agreement or

conducted pursuant to Section 15(c) below, including
without limitation confirmation proceedings, shall
be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF SUCH COURTS (AND OF THE APPROPRIATE APPELLATE COURTS
THEREFROM) IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW
OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY
SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT
OR THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHICH
IS BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN

for convenience only and are not part of this Agreement.
- 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 Digital Rage, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

be modified or amended except by another agreement
in writing executed by the parties hereto; provided,
however, that these Terms of Service may be modified
from time to time by Digital Rage in its sole discretion,
which modifications will be effective upon posting

- 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

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. Digital Rage may give written notice to Customer
via e-mail to the Customer’s e-mail address as maintained
in Digital Rage’s 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 Digital Rage. Any attempted
assignment in violation of the foregoing provision
shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
Digital Rage 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, Digital Rage’s 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 party’s 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
