Customer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company and its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, attorneys and agents (each an “indemnified party” and, collectively, “indemnified parties”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, suits, actions, demands, proceedings (whether legal or administrative), and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees) threatened, asserted, or filed by a third party against any of the indemnified parties arising out of or relating to Customer’s use of the Services, (ii) any violation by Customer of the AUP, (iii) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Customer contained in this Agreement or (iv) any acts or omissions of Customer. The terms of this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
  18. Arbitration Agreement And Class Action Waiver.
    1. Purpose. This Arbitration Agreement facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and Barsec. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which parties to a contract agree to submit their disputes and potential disputes to a neutral third person (called an arbitrator) for a binding decision, instead of having such dispute(s) decided in a lawsuit, in court, by a judge or jury trial.

      Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It provides that all disputes between you (sometimes referred to as “Customer”) and Barsec (sometimes referred to as “Company”) shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Entering into this Arbitration Agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this Arbitration Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees, if otherwise authorized by applicable law).

      For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, “Barsec” means Barsec, LLC and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Barsec regarding any aspect of your relationship with Barsec, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.
    2. WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
    3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. For all Disputes you must first give Barsec an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to 1000 Heritage Center Cir #102, Round Rock, TX 78664. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Barsec does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.
    4. Arbitration Procedures. If this Arbitration Agreement applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution”) either you or Barsec may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement.

      For arbitration before the AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Arbitration Agreement governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration.

      Because your contract with Barsec, the Terms of Service, and this this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
    5. Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator shall make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award by the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
    6. Location of Arbitration. You may initiate arbitration in either Round Rock, TX, or in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. In the event that Barsec initiates an arbitration, it may only do so in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution.
    7. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. Whichever party initiates arbitration shall pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses. Thereafter, each party shall be responsible for their respective fees, costs and expenses incurred in the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator, including, but not limited to, their own attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with Barsec as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover from Barsec your actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
    8. Class Action Waiver. The parties agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Barsec specifically agree in writing to do so following initiation of the arbitration. Neither you, nor any other Member of Barsec and/or user of Barsec services, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, consolidated or private attorney general proceeding.
    9. Limitation of Procedural Rights. You understand and agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and Barsec are each agreeing to arbitration instead of the right to a trial before a judge or jury in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Barsec might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). You give up those rights. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited in arbitration. The right to appellate review of an arbitrator’s decision is much more limited than in court, and in general an arbitrator’s decision may not be appealed for errors of fact or law.
    10. Severability. If any clause within this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.
    11. Continuation. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your contract with Barsec and your use of Barsec services.
  19. Miscellaneous.
    1. Independent Contractor. Company and Customer are independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement places Company and Customer in the relationship of principal and agent, master and servant, partners or joint venturers.

MASTER DOMAIN REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

  1. THIS REGISTRATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), is between Tucows Domains Inc. (“Tucows”) and you, on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent (“Registrant”), as offered through the Reseller participating in Tucows’ distribution channel for domain name registrations. Any reference to “Registry” or “Registry Operator” shall refer to the registry administrator of the applicable top-level domain (“TLD”). This Agreement explains Tucows’ obligations to Registrant, and Registrant’s obligations to Tucows, for the domain registration services. By agreeing to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Registrant agrees to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth in this Agreement, and by a registry for that particular TLD.
  2. DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION. Domain name registrations are for a limited term, which ends on the expiration date communicated to the Registrant. A domain name submitted through Tucows will be deemed active when the relevant registry accepts the Registrant’s application and activates Registrant’s domain name registration or renewal. Tucows cannot guarantee that Registrant will obtain a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that a domain name is available at the time of application. Tucows is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process.
  3. FEES. Registrant agrees to pay Reseller the applicable service fees prior to the registration or renewal of a domain. All fees payable here under are non-refundable even if Registrant’s domain name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your current registration term.
  4. TERM. This Agreement will remain in effect during the term of the domain name registration as selected, recorded and paid for at the time of registration or renewal. Should the domain name be transferred to another registrar, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall cease.
  5. EXPIRATION, RENEWAL AND FORFEITURE. The registered domain name will expire on the expiration date specified in the registration term, and as communicated to the Registrant. Registrant will receive reminders immediately prior to the expiration inviting Registrant to renew the domain name. In the event that Registrant fails to renew the domain name in a timely fashion, the registration will expire and Tucows may, at its discretion, elect to assume the registration and may hold it in its own account, delete it, or sell it to a third party. During the period following the expiration of a domain name, the domain name will cease to resolve, the Whois registration records may be revised to include that of Tucows or its reseller, and visitors to Registrant’s website may be directed to a default web page. This default web page may feature advertisements posted by Tucows for its own account. Registrant acknowledges and agrees that Registrant’s right and interest in a domain name ceases upon its expiration. Registrant is solely responsible for informing itself of the date of expiration and renewing its registration in a timely manner. If Tucows, in its sole discretion, elects to renew the registration, Registrant will be entitled to a grace period of forty (40) days during which Registrant may re-register the domain name. Additional costs for the redemption and re-registration will apply.
  6. EXPIRED REGISTRATION RECOVERY POLICY. Domain expiration notices will be sent via email thirty (30) days and five (5) days prior to a domain expiration date and three (3) days after a domain expires. Renewal, post- expiration renewal and redemptions fees are published at https://opensrs.com/services/domains/domain-pricing/. Reseller’s fees may differ.
  7. REGISTRANT INFORMATION AND DATA SHARING. Data required for the registration of a domain name varies by top-level domain. The required data for a domain name registration (“Minimum Data”) will be presented at the time of registration or renewal and may include up to:
    • Name and postal address of the Registered Name Holder;
    • Registered name;
    • Names of the primary nameserver and secondary nameserver(s) for the Registered Name;
    • Name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the administrative contact for the domain name;
    • Name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the billing contact for the domain name; and
    • Name, postal address, e-mail address, and voice and fax (if available) telephone numbers of the technical contact for the domain name.

The Minimum Data will be shared with Tucows and may be shared with the relevant authoritative registry services provider for your top-level domain. The identity of the authoritative registry services provider can be found at https://www.iana.org/whois. The Minimum Data for domains in any TLD you have registered can be found in the Data Use Information Page.

  1. ACCURATE INFORMATION. Registrant represents and warrants that:
    • The statements that Registrant makes in connection with the domain name registration, maintenance, or renewal are complete and accurate;
    • Registrant information will be kept current;
    • Registrant will not and will not permit others to use the domain name in violation of any ICANN or registry policies, applicable laws or regulations, or legal rights of others;
    • Registrant will respond to inquiries from Tucows addressed to the email address of the Registrant, the administrative, billing or technical contact with respect to a domain name concerning the accuracy of contact details.

Registrant acknowledges that a breach of this Section 8 will constitute a material breach of the Agreement, which will entitle either Tucows or a registry to terminate this Agreement immediately upon such breach without any refund and without notice to Registrant.

  1. ACCOUNT REVIEW, DATA MODIFICATION OR DELETION. To access, view, update, delete or download data associated with your domain name registration, you must be signed into your account. If you make a request to delete your personal data and that data is necessary for the products or services you have purchased, the request will be honored only to the extent it is no longer necessary for any services purchased or required for our legitimate business purposes or legal or contractual record keeping requirements. In some cases, when data is necessary for the provisioning of service, deletion of data may cancel or suspend the services you have purchased. If you have difficulty accessing your data, modifying it, or deleting it, you may request assistance by sending email to DPO @ Tucows.com or using the contact information at https://opensrs.com/privacy-policy/.
  2. ICANN-REQUIRED DISCLOSURES. Domain name registration requires sharing the Registrant’s information, in whole or in part, with the applicable Registry Operator and with ICANN. Both Tucows and the Registry Operator may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service. Further, Registrant represents and warrants that, if Registrant is providing information about a third party, Registrant has notified the third party of the required disclosures and the purpose for the disclosures and Registrant has obtained the third party’s consent to such disclosure. ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits or requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that Tucows may or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner in which such information is made available.
  3. SUSPENSION AND CANCELLATION. Tucows may in its sole discretion, suspend or cancel Registrant’s domain name registration:
    • if Registrant breaches this Agreement;
    • if Registrant fails to provide payment or accurate contact or billing information;
    • in the event there was an error in the registration process for such domain name;
    • as required by ICANN or a Registry Operator;
    • to protect the integrity and stability of Tucows and any applicable registry;
    • to comply with any applicable laws, government rules, requests of law enforcement and court orders;
    • in compliance with any dispute resolution process, or
    • to avoid any liability, civil or criminal.
  4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Registrant is bound by all ICANN consensus policies and all policies of any relevant Registry Operator, including the Uniform Rapid Suspension Procedure, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution policy (UDRP), along with the UDRP rules and all supplemental rules of any UDRP provider. ICANN may change the UDRP at any time. If a third party challenges the registration or reservation of the Registrant’s domain name, Registrant will be subject to the provisions specified in the dispute policy adopted by the applicable registry. In the event a domain name dispute arises, Registrant will indemnify and hold Tucows harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the applicable policy. If Tucows is notified that a complaint has been filed with a judicial or administrative body regarding a domain name, Tucows may, at its sole discretion, suspend use of the domain name and the ability to make modifications to the registration records until:
    • Tucows is directed to do so by the judicial or administrative body, or
    • Tucows receives notification from both parties that the dispute has been settled.

If Registrant or Registrant’s domain name becomes the subject of litigation, Tucows may deposit control of Registrant’s domain name record into the registry of the judicial body by supplying a party with a registrar certificate.

  1. WHOIS PRIVACY SERVICE. If Registrant elects to use the Whois privacy registration service, the following terms and conditions will apply:
    • The publicly available Registrant contact information will list Contact Privacy Inc. Customer #### (where #### is a unique customer identification number) as the Registrant and contact name, and Tucows’ postal address, assigned email address and telephone number as contact information.
    • Tucows will keep the Registrant and Contact Information provided by Registrant on file. Both Tucows and the Registry may be required to archive this information with a third-party escrow service, as per ICANN policy.
    • Registrant will retain complete control over the domain name and its registration records and may suspend and reinstate the Whois Privacy Service at its discretion.
    • With respect to a domain name that has been transferred to Tucows, the Whois Privacy Service will only commence after the transfer has been completed. If Registrant elects to transfer a domain name to a different registrar, the Whois Privacy Service must be disabled in order to initiate the transfer.
    • Tucows will send all obligatory renewal and transfer related messages to the contacts that Registrant has designated.
    • Pricing for the Whois privacy registration service will be set by the Reseller, and Registrant will pay Reseller for this service.
    • Communications received with respect to a domain name registration will be handled as follows:
      • Tucows will forward to Registrant all correspondence received by registered mail or traceable courier. This information may be opened, scanned and emailed to Registrant. Regular postal mail will be discarded or returned to sender at Tucows’ discretion.
      • Email correspondence will be forwarded, only if submitted via the contactprivacy.com website.
      • A voice mail message will advise all callers that inbound messages will not be accepted; calls will be directed to the contactprivacy.com website.

    • The business contact information for the Whois privacy registration service is:

    • Tucows shall have the right, at its sole discretion and without liability to Registrant, to suspend or cancel the Whois Privacy Service and to reveal Registrant and Contact Whois Information in certain circumstances, including but not limited to the following:
      • when required by law;
      • in the good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to further determination of an alleged breach of a law;
      • to comply with a legal process served upon Tucows;
      • to resolve any and all third party claims including but not limited to ICANN’s or a Registry’s dispute resolution policy;
      • to avoid financial loss or legal liability;
      • if Tucows believes that Registrant or one of Registrant’s contacts is using the Whois Privacy Service to conceal involvement with illegal, illicit, objectionable or harmful activities; or to transmit SPAM, viruses, worms or other harmful computer programs.
  1. POLICY. Registrant agrees that its registration of the domain name shall be subject to suspension, cancellation, or transfer pursuant to a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted policy, or pursuant to any registrar or registry procedure not inconsistent with a Tucows, registry, ICANN or government-adopted policy,
    • to correct mistakes by Tucows or a registry in registering the name or
    • for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
  2. TRADEMARK CLEARINGHOUSE (TMCH). Registrant agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth by Tucows and the Trademark Clearinghouse Agreement available at http://opensrs.com/site/resources/agreements#contracts.
  3. NO GUARANTEE. Registrant acknowledges that registration of a chosen domain name does not confer immunity from objection to the registration, reservation or use of the domain name.
  4. AGENCY. If Registrant intends to license use of a domain name to a third party, Registrant is deemed the domain name holder of record and is responsible for providing Registrant’s own full contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name. Registrant shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name, unless it promptly discloses the licensee’s identity and current contact information (as provided by the licensee) to a party providing the Registered Name Holder reasonable evidence of actionable harm. Registrant represents that it will secure the agreement of any third party to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.
  5. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. Tucows may modify this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable agreement, as is necessary to comply with its agreements with ICANN, a registry or any other entity or individual, as well as to adjust to changing circumstances. All amendments to this Agreement will be posted on our website at http://www.opensrs.com/docs/contracts/exhibita.htm. Your continued use of the registered domain name will constitute your acceptance of this Agreement with any revisions. If you do not agree to any change, you may request that your domain name be cancelled or transferred to a different accredited registrar, and agree that such cancellation or transfer will be your exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any change to this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable agreement.
  6. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Tucows reserves the right to distribute information to Registrant that is required by ICANN or Registry policy.
  7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Registrant agrees that Tucows’ entire liability, and Registrant’s exclusive remedy, with respect to the domain registration service provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount Registrant paid for the initial registration of the domain name. Tucows, ICANN and the applicable registries shall not be liable for any lost profits, revenues, or data, financial losses or indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states, liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.
  8. INDEMNITY. Registrant will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tucows, ICANN, the applicable registries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, and contractors, from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or relating to
    • Registrant’s registration and use of the domain name registered;>
    • use of the domain name in violation of this Agreement; or
    • Registrant’s violation of any third party right, including Intellectual Property Rights. This indemnification obligation will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  9. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. The person named as Registrant on record with Tucows shall be the “Registered Name Holder.” If designated, the person named as administrative contact at the time the controlling account was secured shall be deemed the designate of the Registrant with the authority to manage the domain name. Registrant agrees that prior to transferring ownership of the domain name to another person (the “Transferee”) Registrant shall require the Transferee to agree, in writing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If the Transferee fails to be bound in a reasonable fashion (as determine by Tucows in its sole discretion) to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, any such transfer will be null and void. Registrant explicitly authorizes Tucows to act as their Designated Agent, as stipulated by the ICANN Transfer Policy, to approve a Change of Registrant on their behalf.
  10. BREACH. Registrant agrees that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any ICANN, Registry, URDP or Dispute operating rule or policy, may be considered by Tucows to be a material breach, and that Tucows may provide written notice, describing the breach, to Registrant. If within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of such notice, Registrant fails to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to Tucows, that Registrant has not breached its obligations under the Agreement, then Tucows may delete the registration the domain name. Any such breach by Registrant shall not be deemed to be excused simply because Tucows did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by Registrant.
  11. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. Except for the express warranties in this Agreement, Tucows does not make any other warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including warranties or merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Tucows is not responsible or liable for the deletion or of failure to store any content and other communications maintained or transmitted through the use of the domain name registration service. Tucows does not warrant that the domain name registrations service will be error free or uninterrupted. The domain name registration service is not intended for high risk activities.
  12. INCONSISTENCIES WITH REGISTRY POLICIES. In the event that this Agreement may be inconsistent with any term, condition, policy or procedure of an applicable Registry, the term, condition, policy or procedure of the applicable Registry shall prevail.
  13. NON-WAIVER. Tucows failure to require performance by Registrant of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by Tucows of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
  14. NOTICES. Any notice, direction or other communication given under this Agreement shall be in writing and given by sending it via e-mail or via regular mail.

        4. If the registrant does not successfully complete the validation process within one year from the date it registers the domain name bundle, the domain name bundle will be deleted and released back into the pool of available domains and any fees paid in connection with the registration of the domain name bundle will be forfeit.
        5. Registrant acknowledges and understands that, in the event it is selected for an audit, it will promptly comply with any inquiries and requests from the Registry to provide additional evidence of its NGO status.
          1. If, as a result of the audit process, the Registry determines (in its sole discretion) that the Registrant does not meet the NGO eligibility requirements, the Registrant’s domain name bundle will be deleted and released back into the pool of available domains and any fees paid in connection with the Registrant’s domain name bundle will be forfeit.

Domain Name Dispute Claims

Please refer to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “UDRP”) if you have a concern or dispute concerning a domain name. The UDRP covers domain names disputes; this Policy specifically excludes domain name disputes. Please see http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm.

Copyright Infringement Claims

If you believe that material located on a site hosted by INMOTON or linked to by a site hosted by Barsec violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify Barsec in accordance with its Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy. Barsec will respond to all such notices. The response by Barsec may include removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material if appropriate and required. Barsec will terminate a customer’s access to and use of the site if the customer is determined to be a repeat infringer of the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of Barsec or others. In the case of such termination, Barsec will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to Barsec.

Unlimited Disk Space & Bandwidth

While Barsec does not meter disk space & bandwidth, the purpose of an Barsec hosting account is to host web sites. Using a hosting account primarily for online file storage or archiving electronic files is prohibited.

Barsec Personal & Business Class hosting are shared hosting environments, so to ensure fast & reliable service to all of our clients, accounts that adversely affect server or network performance must correct these issues or will be asked to upgrade to a virtual or dedicated server.

Free Domain Name

Qualifying web hosting purchases may include a free domain registration or transfer for the first year of service. When your web hosting account renews, the applicable then-current pricing will be applied to your account (currently, domain registration is $15.99/year).

If Subscriber registers any domain name as part of a “Free Domain Name” promotion in connection with the registration and cancels with eligibility for a refund, Subscriber’s refund will be reduced by the price of the domain of $15.99 per year and a $5.00 administrative fee. Subscriber will retain full ownership and control of any such domain names.

Student Web Hosting

Discounts for students, educators and school administration are available for new customers only. Any customer who purchases through our Education Program is eligible to renew their hosting for one additional term at the same price. After that, renewals will occur at the standard fee for that package. Domain names are not included with any Education Program package but may be purchased separately.

Proof of enrollment or employment at an educational institution is required in order to purchase through Barsec, LLC’s Education Program. An educational institution is defined as a primary school, middle school, high school, junior college, college or university. For profit educational institutions and tutoring services are not included in this offer. A complimentary shared (Power package) web hosting account may be provided to teachers, professors or administrators on an as needed basis for evaluation. We reserve the right to revoke or cancel complimentary accounts at any time.

Network Security

Customers may not use Barsec’s network as to attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the Customer, logging into a server or account the Customer is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security of other networks in search of weakness, or violation of any other organization’s security policy.

Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding, mailbombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or network.

Customers will be held liable for incorrect setting of netmasks, routes, or any other network configuration or programming issue which causes unnecessary broadcast or multicast traffic on our network, or denial of service, deliberate or not, caused by forging ARP queries or replies or by configuring IPs into their machine which were not assigned to their server. Any of these actions may result in disconnection of the server at fault from the network and/or correction of the fault at the customer’s risk and expense. Any loss of functionality caused by the attempted correction of the problem will be the customer’s responsibility to solve. If the malignity of the problem is deemed by Barsec, LLC to not warrant such drastic action, the customer will be contacted via the ticketing system to correct the problem himself. Customers are responsible for maintaining their contact information in the ticketing system such that the email address is always reachable even in the event of their Barsec, LLC servers being shut down.

If your server is the initiator or target of a denial of service attack that adversely affects our/somebody else network, we will terminate your account without warning and you will be held responsible for any charges that may result from this action.

Activities that attract denial of service attacks are expressly prohibited. Customers involved in these activities will be terminated as soon as we are aware of them. These activities include, but are not limited to: selling shell accounts, and involvement with IRC of any kind. This prohibition is for the protection of our customer base as a whole; these kinds of services tend to attract attacks that have the potential to degrade service for all of our customers.

Barsec will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. Barsec, LLC reserves the right to charge up to $500 per complaint to investigate.

Mandatory Security Updates

From time-to-time, we notify our clients of any exploit we deem potentially catastrophic. For an exploit to be considered catastrophic, it must be attacking widely deployed applications that are in use on a majority of servers. For example, but not limited to, software related to DNS, APACHE, and SENDMAIL.

The security notification will be sent via our customer subscribed mailing list, with a subject line of “Mandatory Security Update”. It will provide a synopsis of the exploit, what is effected, and probable repercussions associated with failure to update. In addition, the email will provide a link for customers to download updated software or fixes, or patches, and directions on installing it. Customers are responsible for following the instructions in all ” Mandatory Security Update” within 24 hours from their release.

To ensure the security of the clients’ servers and to maintain our network integrity, if 24 hours past notification the software at issue has not been updated or patched, Barsec, LLC reserves the right to apply all necessary updates, fix any other obvious security holes we may find, and bill the customer’s account at the applicable hourly support rate without further notice or customer approval.

Server Interface

The Barsec, LLC Web Interface and Control Panel are proprietary software, a single Perl script at /usr/local/sbin/interface. Although we do not protect the software with compilation nor with encryption, it is protected under copyright and trade secret laws and is not to be modified nor distributed in any fashion unless authorized in writing by Barsec, LLC. Under no circumstances will we allow changes to the Copyright notice and/or disclaimers on version 2 of the interface (revisions 1.110 and above), since the “Server Interface” Trade Name and logo are already protecting resellers from references to Barsec, LLC.

Requests for modification, including translating into other languages, addition of links or advertising, changes to menus, or customer-specific options, must be sent to sales@Barsechosting.com and are subject to an approval process by all departments. In general, the only changes approved are those of a general nature, representing an increase in functionality for all customers. Changes for a single customer which would cause more than one concurrent version of the software will not be considered.

Changes which are approved will be done on a prioritized basis by Barsec, LLC technical staff. Expedited processing of a change order can be paid for by a customer, but the changes remain property of Barsec, LLC and may be given to other customers.

Data Backup

Barsec, LLC maintains, as a convenience to its clients, regular automated data backups on accounts equal to or less than 10 gigabytes in total size. This service is included only with Business Class or Virtual Private Server hosting accounts and is provided at no additional charge. Hosting accounts greater than 10 gigabytes in size will not be included in regular data backups; this service is, however, available for an additional service charge for accounts exceeding the 10 gigabyte size limit.

While Barsec, LLC maintains the previously stated backups, this service is provided as a convenience only and Barsec, LLC assumes no liability as to the availability or completeness of client data backups. Each client is expected and encouraged to maintain backup copies of their own data. Barsec, LLC will provide, upon request, one (1) data restore per four (4) calendar months free of charge. Additional data restores may be provided but are subject to additional service fees.

Upon Cancellation or Suspension for nonpayment, all data is purged from the server.

Bandwidth Charges

Higher levels of traffic will incur overcharges on a monthly basis. However, the rates for bandwidth usage are lower for Barsec than for any other services we offer. Barsec provides full access to web reports for network traffic monitoring and reporting. Barsec also provides graphs that show customers’ monthly usage, which is the average rate, and reflects the amount of bandwidth transferred during the month. The bandwidth charges reflects the average monthly bandwidth in Kilobits per second (Kbps) and in Gb/month. These charges reflect our expenses in network maintenance, upgrades, backbone port charges, leased line loops, and equipment.

IP Policy

ARIN (the American Registry for Internet Numbers) is becoming very stringent with IP addresses, and refuses to grant them without a strict accounting of use of existing IP’s; we must therefore require periodic updates of IP address use. The way we will implement this, for now, is for customers who need more IP addresses to send a blank email to reverse@Barsechosting.com to get detailed instructions via autoresponder.

Any IP numbers which remain unused after a 30-day period, according to our periodic ‘ping’ testing, will be subject to reassignment by Barsec, LLC. No prior notice will be given, but we will email you at your current contact address to inform you that we have taken back the IP numbers. You can of course request more when you are ready to use them. And, as stipulated elsewhere, any work incurred in reclaiming unused IP numbers which have been registered as nameservers will be billed at our current administrative services rates.

While we will allocate our customers an “unlimited” number of IP addresses, our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN’s new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.”

Barsec, LLC may assign its customers IP (Internet Protocol) addresses on a temporary basis or for the life of the contract. Customer agrees that IP addresses are not portable, and acknowledges that IP addresses are the sole property of Barsec, LLC and are assigned as part of the services. Furthermore, client acknowledges that use of IP addresses not allocated by Barsec, LLC to customer or users is expressively prohibited and will incur a penalty fee.

This fee would be calculated on a standard engineers hourly rate fee of $150 separate from any other service or incident fees prepaid by customer. At the conclusion of Customer’s contract, Customer is required to provide a copy of an Authorized domain registrar (i.e. Network Solutions) records, showing that Customer’s hostname servers no longer claim the use of our IP addressed we have provided to customer. This document must be delivered to Barsec, LLC within 10 days after the effective contract termination date.

General Conduct

Customers are prohibited from transmitting on or through any of Barsec’s services, any material that is, in Barsec’s sole discretion, unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law.

Barsec’s services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or storage of any information, data or material in violation of United States or state regulation or law, or by the common law, is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other statute. Barsec’s reserves the right to remove such illegal material from its servers.

The customer is responsible for keeping his billing data with Barsec up-to-date and accurate. Furnishing false data on any contract or application, including fraudulent use of credit card numbers, is grounds for immediate termination, and may subject the offender to civil or criminal liability.

The resale of Barsec’s products and services is not permitted, unless specifically permitted and documented in a written agreement.

Important IP Disclosure: Barsec, LLC may assign customer a reasonable amount of IP addresses (Internet Protocol) on a temporary basis or for the life of the contract. Client agrees that IP addresses are not portable and acknowledges that IP addresses are the sole property of Barsec, LLC and are assigned as part of the services. Furthermore, client acknowledges that use of IP addresses not allocated by Barsec, LLC to customer or users is expressively prohibited and will incur a penalty fee. This fee would be calculated on a standard engineers hourly rate fee of $150 separate from any other service or incident fees prepaid by customer.

Facilitating a violation of this AUP: Software, services, programs, activities, and advertisements that promote, enable, or facilitate any activity that is prohibited within this document, including spam, denial of service attacks, compromise of other systems or attempts to compromise other systems are ALL considered to be violations of this AUP.

To insure the quality of service of our shared hosting clients, Barsec, LLC reserves the right to migrate high resource utilizing clients to servers which may, or may not, incorporate stated ‘business class hardware’.

Cancellation

Barsec reserves the right to cancel service(s) at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and refunded by Barsec to customer if Barsec initiates its right of cancellation and customer is NOT in violation of these Terms and Conditions.

Customer understands that service(s) can be canceled at any time effective the end of the contract.

Upon termination, either by Barsec, LLC or Customer, for any reason, Customer is responsible for deleting his/her host registrations from domain registrar(s) immediately.
