2. Amendment of Agreement.

Globat may amend or otherwise modify this Agreement.

Globat may, but is under no obligation to, provide additional notice of any amendment, modification or update of this Agreement via e-mail to Customer. If any material modification to this Agreement is unacceptable to Customer it shall be Customer's responsibility to terminate their subscription as provided in Section 3 of this Agreement. If Customer does not terminate the Agreement within 10 days of the material modification then Customer's continued use will mean that Customer has accepted the amended or modified Agreement.

3. Duration of Agreement, Continuity, and Cancellation Policy.

3.1 - The Initial Term shall begin upon confirmation of Customer's order or commencement of the Services to Customer and receipt of lawful funds. The term's length is chosen by customer and shall be indicated in the Order Form. After the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms, equal in length to the Initial Term, unless terminated or canceled by either party as provided herein. During the Term, and other as specified herein, this agreement cannot be terminated by customer for any reason.

3.2 - This agreement may be terminated by either party at the renewal/anniversary date by giving the other party notice at least 15 days prior to the renewal/anniversary date of the Term (Customers hereby agrees and understands that they must follow the instructions provided at http://www.globat.com/cancel.htm in order to effective terminate services as described herein), or by Globat in the event of nonpayment by Customer or by Globat, at any time, without notice, if in Globat's sole judgment Customer has in any way breached this Agreement (Termination for Cause).

3.3 Globat may also terminate this agreement in its sole discretion at any time for any or no reason, by giving Customer 72 hours notice to the email address customer keeps on file with Globat.

Furthermore, due to the fact that damages are difficult to ascertain Customer consents that $150.00 per hosted domain and serviced package is reasonable.

3.5 - If prior to the end of the agreed on Term, Customer cancels the Services for any reason, or Globat terminates the Agreement due to Customer's breach of the Globat User Agreement or Acceptable Usage Policy, Customer will be charged a US$150.00 Breach-Of-Contract fee per domain package and per hosting account as liquidated damages.

3.7 - All sales are final except for a cancellation within the first thirty (30) days after Customer purchases and pays for the service (Limited Money-Back Guarantee) and as stated below with reference to domain registration and promotional domain registration. After the Money-Back Guarantee expires, Customer can not cancel this Agreement, other than provided in paragraph 3.2, prior to the end of the Term as provided herein for any reason.

Any cancellation requests sent to or directed to Globat by email and/or regular mail shall be null and void. Customer also agrees that any request for a refund shall be forfeited, if the instructions provided at http://www.globat.com/cancel.htm have not been followed to cancel a Web hosting account.

Customer agrees to pay a $25.00 (twenty-five dollars) late fee if customer's account or accounts become more than ten (10) calendar days overdue or if Customer's credit card is not accepted when a charge is processed. Fees for renewal periods after the Initial term shall become due 30 days before the first day of such renewal period. Globat may impose a debt service charge equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the overdue balance or a lesser amount where required by law for each month or portion thereof the overdue amount remains unpaid. In addition, in the event that any amount due Globat remains unpaid five (5) calendar days after such payment is due, Globat, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement, and/or withhold or suspend Services.

Customer agrees and acknowledges that if they become a Reseller they will be authorized to resell Globat provided Services on a non-exclusive basis only. Customer's right to resell Globat services shall in no way preclude Globat from marketing and selling Globat's own products and services through its own employees, affiliates, other resellers or any other third party. Globat expressly reserves the right to allow other third parties to resell Globat services on any terms Globat may chose including terms which may be more favorable to said third parties then they are to Globate Reseller Customers.

Reseller shall be solely responsible for compliance with any regulations governing the export of the Services (or any portion thereof).

5.3 - Reseller shall not resell the Services under Globat's brand name accordingly nothing in this Agreement constitutes a license to Reseller to use or resell the Marks (as defined below).

6. Globat as Reseller or Licensor.

Globat is acting only as a reseller or licensor of the hardware, software and equipment used in connection with the products and/or Services that were or are manufactured or provided by a third party ('Non-Globat Product'). Globat shall not be responsible for any changes in the Services that cause the Non-Globat Product to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect the performance of the Services. Any malfunction or manufacturer's defects of Non-Globat Product either sold, licensed or provided by Globat to Customer or purchased directly by Customer used in connection with the Services will not be deemed a breach of Globat's obligations under this Agreement. Any rights or remedies Customer may have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of Non-Globat Product are limited to those rights extended to Customer by the manufacturer of such Non-Globat Product. Customer is entitled to use any Non-Globat Product supplied by Globat only in connection with Customer's permitted use of the Services.

10. Bandwidth and Disk Usage.

10.1 - Customer agrees that Globat will monitor and meter Customer's daily bandwidth and disk usage and in the event that Customer exceeds the bandwidth or disk usage allocated to each hosting package on any given day Globat may take corrective action which may, at Globat's sole discretion, include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement. All bandwidth is measured daily and monthly bandwidth allowances are divided by the calendar days of a given month to determine the daily bandwidth allowance. Customer agrees that in the event of a dispute Globat's monitoring reports shall be the final method of determination how much disk space and bandwidth was used and agrees to pay the excess usage charges when due. Customer's logs files are counted against any disk usage.

10.2 - To avoid unfair resource distribution at no time shall Customer use more than 15 simultaneous processes by and with any of Customer's applications and not upload any file larger than 10 megabyte. All images in a Customer's hosting account must be linked to from pages within the Customer's hosting account. It is a violation of this agreement if Customer uses this account as merely an image, sound or file library. Binary files such as images, video and sound (i.e MP3, WAV, RA, GIF, JPG but not limited to those file extensions) may only account for a maximum of 50% of Customer's total bandwidth usage before customer must upgrade to a higher performance solution.

10.3 - Unlimited Disk Space and Data Transfer Bandwidth

Globat.com offers customers on select plans unlimited disk space and data transfer bandwidth. In essence, this means our customers can use whatever disk space and bandwidth is necessary for acceptable and appropriate Web hosting needs.

What is acceptable and appropriate usage?

Globat.com is a shared hosting provider. Your Web site is hosted with others on our servers in a virtual community. Our packages are not intended to support enterprise level or other large companies.

We are dedicated to providing all of our customers with fast, reliable, and secure hosting services within this shared space. An individual customer's Web hosting usage cannot adversely impact the performance of other customers' within that space. We monitor our servers 24/7/365 for unacceptable usage. We will take necessary measures to ensure that the entire community on the shared space is protected.

Our Web hosting service is meant to host live Web sites, not for use as a backup or file storage area. You are prohibited from using your Globat.com Web hosting account primarily as an online storage space.

What is unlimited?

Unlimited disk space: Customers may create a Web site as large as needed without an upper limitation on disk space. However, as mentioned in our acceptable and appropriate usage explanation, there are many other users on your server. Growing a very large Web site very quickly may negatively affect others on the server and as such, violate our acceptable usage policy. We may place restrictions on how fast you can grow your site and will monitor resources closely, however, the vast majority of customer Web sites are well within established rules and are not impacted by restrictions. Unlimited data transfer bandwidth: With unlimited data transfer bandwidth within acceptable usage practices, visitors to your Web site will be able to access and interact with your Web site as often as they wish. However, customers may not use excess server processing power that will create a negative impact on the performance of the server and other customers on that space. In these circumstances, access or downloads to your site may be limited. Ensuring the best performance for as many customers as possible is a top priority and violations to the above rule will not be tolerated.

For more specific terms of service, we ask that you refer to the acceptable use section of our Terms and Conditions.

11. Intellectual Property Rights.

Customer acknowledges that Globat owns all trade names, trademarks, service marks, inventions, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, know-how and other intellectual property rights relating to the Services and their provision.

Globat shall in no way be responsible for Customer's conduct or actions including but not limited to Customer's handling of third party information such as credit card numbers and any liabilities incurred by Customer including but not limited to tax liabilities for the conduct of Customer's on-line business.
