Terms of Service

This Hosting Agreement (the "Agreement") governs your purchase and use, in any manner, of all hosting services ordered by you (the "Subscriber") and accepted by www.yourmodern.com ("Your Modern"). The hosting services subject to this Agreement are those services including in the Service Options selected by you during the ordering process (collectively, the "Services"). The available Service Options are posted at http://www.yourmodern.com. This Agreement describes the terms and conditions that apply to such purchase and use of the Services. You must accept the terms of this Agreement to use the Services.

BY CHECKING THE BOX THAT SAYS "I HAVE READ AND ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF SERVICE" AND REGISTERING FOR AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN AS WELL AS ALL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MODIFICATION, DO NOT CHECK THE BOX OR CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES.

1. Hosting Services.

1.1 General. Subscriber has ordered, and Your Modern agrees to provide (upon acceptance of Subscriber's purchase request), the Services pursuant to the Service Options selected by Subscriber. As part of the Services, Your Modern will use contracted services to (a) configure, install, house, maintain, upgrade, monitor, modify and operate the computer equipment, server(s), operating software, network equipment and components (collectively, "Your Modern's Systems") and (b) secure and maintain connectivity with third-party telecommunication providers, all as necessary to host and serve the Subscriber's Content (as defined below) via the Internet in accordance with the Service Options. Subscriber acknowledges that, as a part of Your Modern's Systems, Your Modern may retain one or more third-party service providers to supply the necessary facilities, equipment, and connectivity to provide the Services hereunder. Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, Your Modern retains sole right and control over the programming, content and conduct on Your Modern's Systems. Subscriber is responsible for securing and maintaining its own Internet connectivity to access Your Modern's Systems.

1.2 Domain Name Services.

1.2.1 General. At the election of Subscriber and in accordance with the Service Options selected by Subscriber, Your Modern may provide Domain Name Services, including the hosting of one or more domain names held by Subscriber ("DNS Services") as part of the Services. If Subscriber purchases DNS Services under its Service Options, Subscriber shall provide Your Modern with one or more registered domain names (each a "Subscriber Domain"). Your Modern shall host the Subscriber Domain(s) during the effective term of this Agreement; provided that, such domain does not violate any registrar's policies, or any laws or regulations. Your Modern agrees to transfer the Subscriber Domain at the direction of Subscriber or upon termination of this Agreement. Subscriber shall retain all right, title, and interest in the Subscriber Domain, and, in no event, shall Your Modern acquire any ownership, title, interests or rights in the Subscriber Domain.

1.2.2 ICANN. Any Subscriber Domain shall be hosted and administered in accordance with terms of ICANN's then current domain name dispute resolution policy and/or the policies of the registrar of the Subscriber Domain. The inability to use a domain name shall not entitle Subscriber to a refund by Your Modern of any fees paid with respect to the registration of such unusable domain name.

1.2.3 IP Addresses. Your Modern may assign IP addresses to Subscriber as part of the Services. Any IP addresses or other network numbers assigned to Subscriber by Your Modern are and shall remain the property of Your Modern. If Subscriber terminates this Agreement and/or Your Modern ceases to provide domain name services, Your Modern may, in its sole discretion, reassign or reuse the IP addresses. Your Modern has sole discretion as to the Internet routing of any Your Modern network numbers. Upon termination, Your Modern will not have, and Subscriber hereby releases Your Modern from, any responsibility or liability for any actions or costs related to the reassignment or reconfiguration of Subscriber's system for any new IP addresses.

1.3 Uptime Goal. Your Modern shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make Your Modern's Systems and the Service available 99.5% of the time (the "Uptime Goal"). The Uptime Goal shall be measured within Your Modern's System on a monthly basis calculated to include twenty-four (24) hours per day over each month, but excluding from the numerator and denominator in the calculation the duration in time of any temporary shutdowns due to scheduled maintenance (which will not exceed in the aggregate ten (10) hours per month), telecommunications or power disruptions caused by third parties, and any other causes beyond Your Modern's reasonable control. Any failure of Your Modern to satisfy the Uptime Goal shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. SUBSCRIBER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY FAILURE OF Your Modern TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UPTIME GOAL IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.1.

1.4 Bandwidth and Storage Allowances. If Subscriber uses any bandwidth or storage space in excess of the Service Options, Your Modern may, in its sole discretion, assess Subscriber with additional charges, suspend the performance of the Services, or terminate this Agreement. In the event that Your Modern elects to take any corrective action, Subscriber shall not be entitled to a refund of any unused pre-paid fees. Subscriber's use of the Services and access to it is Subscriber's responsibility. Subscriber is responsible for any unauthorized access to the Services resulting in bandwidth and/or storage usage exceeding the limits in the Order Form and resultant charges. Should shared server customers exceed the specified limits, they will be asked to convert to a dedicated server plan.

1.5 Modifications to Services. Your Modern reserves the right to change or modify the Services, any Service Options, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any policy or guideline applicable to the Services, at any time in its sole discretion. Your Modern will send a notice to Subscriber of any such changes and will post a notice of such changes on Your Modern's web site at http://www.yourmodern.com. Changes to this Agreement or Service Options will be effective the later of fifteen (15) days or Subscriber's next monthly billing cycle. Changes to any policy or guidelines governing the Services, including the Acceptable Use Policy, shall be effective upon posting to the Your Modern site. If Subscriber does not agree to any change to this Agreement, the Service Options, or any governing policy or guideline, Subscriber's sole remedy is to immediately terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1 (notwithstanding any notice period). Subscriber's continued use of the Services following Your Modern's posting of any changes to this Agreement, the Service Options, or any policy or guideline will constitute Subscriber's acceptance of such changes or modifications.

1.6 Service Option Changes. Subscriber may change Service Options under the Agreement with appropriate prior notice but will be subject to a change fee for such.

2 Subscriber Content; Acceptable Use.

2.1 Subscriber Content. Subscriber hereby grants Your Modern a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-sublicensable license to host, reproduce, transmit, cache, store, exhibit, publish, display, distribute, perform, edit, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, and otherwise use the Subscriber Content solely as necessary to provide the Services for Subscriber. "Subscriber Content" means all materials, code, data, text (whether or not perceptible by users), multimedia information (including, but not limited to sound, data, audio, video, graphics, photographs, or artwork), Subscriber Domain(s), e-mail, chat room content, bulletin board postings, or any other items or materials of Subscriber or any third party that are provided or permitted by Subscriber to reside on Your Modern's Systems.

2.2 Subscriber's Sole Responsibility. Subscriber shall be solely responsible for all Subscriber Content, including, without limitation, any content or materials of a third party that Subscriber permits or enables to be posted onto or through Your Modern's Systems. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Subscriber shall (a) be solely responsible for the creation, posting, updating and maintenance of the Subscriber Content; and (b) manage, renew, create, delete, edit and otherwise control the editorial content of the Subscriber Content. Your Modern will not be responsible for reviewing the Subscriber Content prior to its posting by Subscriber.

2.3 Compatibility. Subscriber is responsible for ensuring that the Subscriber Content will be "server ready" and otherwise remain fully compatible with Your Modern's Systems (including all software and operating systems). Subscriber acknowledges that it is responsible for having the necessary knowledge and expertise to maintain the Subscriber Content on Your Modern's Systems. Your Modern reserves the right to remove any Subscriber Content that is not compatible with Your Modern's Systems. Upon request from Subscriber, and at Subscriber's sole expense, Your Modern may assist Subscriber in resolving any compatibility problems on a time and materials basis.

2.4 Acceptable Use.

2.4.1 Subscriber Obligation. Subscriber shall at all times adhere to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and to Your Modern's then current Acceptable Use Policy (or such other location as Your Modern may specify). A current version of the Acceptable Use Policy can be found below.

2.4.2 Your Modern's Rights. Your Modern may inspect the Subscriber Content or investigate any alleged violation of this Agreement, Your Modern's policies or any third-party complaints. Your Modern will not access or review the contents of any e-mail or other stored electronic communications except as required or permitted by applicable law or legal process. In the event that Your Modern determines in its sole and reasonable discretion that any Subscriber Content or conduct or actions of Subscriber (including its employees and users) are objectionable, unlawful, potentially infringing or otherwise violate this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, or other applicable policy, Your Modern may take any action that it deems appropriate and reasonable under the circumstance to protect its systems, facilities, subscribers and/or third parties. Such corrective action includes, but is not limited to: (a) issuing a warning; (b) immediately suspending or terminating the Services; (c) restricting or prohibiting access to any Subscriber Content that is objectionable or otherwise violates this Agreement or applicable policy; and/or (d) disabling or removing hypertext links, Subscriber Content or the content of any third party from Your Modern's Systems. In the event Your Modern takes corrective action, Your Modern shall not refund any fees paid in advance of such corrective action. Without limiting the foregoing, it is Your Modern's policy to terminate its services for repeated violations of Your Modern's Acceptable Use Policy.

2.4.3 Disclosure Rights. To comply with applicable laws and lawful governmental requests, to protect Your Modern's Systems and Your Modern's customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of Your Modern's business and systems, Your Modern may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, user profile information (i.e., name, e-mail address, etc.), IP addressing and traffic information, usage history, and Subscriber Content residing on Your Modern's Systems.

3 Fees and Payment Terms.

3.1 General. Subscriber agrees to pay to Your Modern's then current set up and service fees in accordance with the Service Options and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Your Modern in connection with the Services provided to Subscriber by Your Modern under this Agreement. For billing purposes, fractions of units shall be rounded up. All fees shall be billed by Your Modern in advance of providing the Services on a monthly basis. All charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Subscriber agrees to pay all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise, duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services provided to Subscriber, other than taxes based on Your Modern's net income. Subscriber's failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within fourteen (14) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a breach of this Agreement, justifying Your Modern's suspension of its performance of the Services and, in Your Modern's sole discretion, termination of this Agreement. Accounts in default are subject to $25 reactivation fee and an interest charge on the outstanding balance equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Any termination by Your Modern for Subscriber's failure to pay will not relieve Subscriber from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of collection enforcement, Subscriber shall be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.

3.2 Price Changes. Subscriber acknowledges that the Services are being provided on a monthly basis and Your Modern reserves the right to change the monthly fees associated with the Service Options selected by Subscriber. In such event, Your Modern will give Subscriber at least fifteen (15) days notice prior to Subscriber's next billing date. If Subscriber does not agree to pay the new fees, Subscriber may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Your Modern within the fifteen-day notice period. If Subscriber does not elect to cancel its service, Subscriber hereby consents to pay the new fee under the same terms and conditions, including the method of payment, as the previous fee.

3.3 PayPal Checkout is simple and your subscription will bill automatically on the period you select. The smart way to pay.

3.4 Checks or Money Orders. There is only one way I can accept personal checks. You must pay a month ahead so that the check clears long before the start of the service month it is paying for. Subscriber may pay fees by check or money order in U.S dollars only. Yourmodern, Inc. will not accept international checks in foreign currency. In the event that a check is returned as unpayable, Subscriber will be assessed a $25.00 returned check fee. If Subscriber fails to pay all fees by the Payment Date, Subscriber will be sent a suspension of service Services email which will grant Subscriber fourteen (14) days to make payment.

3.5 Credit Card. I am sorry but Credit Card payments cannot be accepted at this early stage of this business. That's what PayPal is for.

3.6 Renewals. Subscriber understands that Web Hosting services and Domain Name registrations renew automatically according to the term selected during initial sign-up unless cancelled in writing 14 days prior to the Renewal Date.

4 Term of Service.

4.1 Term and Cancellation Policy. Services will automatically renew until service is cancelled. If you do not wish to renew your Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annual or Annual Service agreement you must cancel your account by emailing the guy in charge according to the 'Contact Me' section at http://www.yourmodern.com/contact/. The Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by either party. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing the other party fourteen (14) days prior written notice; provided that, Your Modern may immediately terminate or suspend the Services and this Agreement upon written notice for Subscriber's or its users' violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Your Modern will not refund, and Subscriber is not eligible for, any remaining portion of any monthly, quarterly or annual fee that already has been charged.

4.2 Effect of Termination. Should this Agreement be terminated for any reason, Your Modern will not be liable to Subscriber because of such termination for compensation, reimbursement or damages on account of the loss of prospective profits, anticipated sales, goodwill or on account of expenditures, investments, leases or commitments in connection with Subscriber's business, or for any other reason whatsoever flowing from such termination. Subscriber is solely responsible for procuring any new or replacement service upon termination. Any termination of this Agreement shall not relieve Subscriber of any obligations to pay fees and costs accrued prior to the termination date and any other amounts owed by Subscriber to Your Modern as provided in this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, the following sections shall survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms: Sections 4.2 and 5 through 9.

4.3 Refund Policy. Subscriber shall have 14 days from the sign-up date to cancel their service for any reason, in writing, for a full refund minus the costs of domain name registrations or software aquired at the time of purchase of web hosting services. Subscriber is not eligible for, any remaining portion of any monthly, quarterly or annual fee that already has been charged after the initial 14 day period.

5 Reservation of Rights.
