| 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.

Responsibilities:
Customer is solely responsible for
the quality, performance and all
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

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

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.

ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE PROVIDED
TO CUSTOMER HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED
AS IS WITHOUT ANY CONDITION
OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. JITSL DOES

FAILURE TO DELIVER, NON-PERFORMANCE,

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED BELOW,
NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE IN
ANY WAY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY
OTHER PERSON FOR ANY LOST PROFITS

DATA OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF
SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LICENSES OR SERVICES
OR SIMILAR ECONOMIC LOSS, OR FOR
ANY PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,

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.

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
by any authorized representative
of Customer and JITSL. This Agreement
may not 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 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.

required or contemplated hereunder
by one party to the other shall
be in writing and shall be deemed

written notice to Customer via e-mail
to the Customers e-mail address

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 first
complying with all export control
laws and regulations which may be
imposed by the United States government
and any country or organization

Customer operates or does business.
Marketing. Customer agrees that
during the term of this Agreement
JITSL may publicly refer to Customer,
orally and in writing, as a customer
of JITSL. Any other public reference

written consent of Customer.
Telephone Monitoring. To ensure
JITSLs customers receive quality
service, JITSL randomly selects
phone calls for monitoring. These
calls, between JITSLs customers

supervisors. This is to guarantee
that prompt, consistent assistance
and accurate information is delivered
in a professional manner. JITSL
has been properly licensed by the
