VENDIO WEB HOSTING POLICY
1.2. Additional Terms.If you register a new domain name or transfer an existing domain using the Hosting Service, the following terms also apply: http://www.vendio.com/ecommerce/terms/domain_terms
2.1. Account Information. You will provide certain current, complete and accurate information about you as required by the registration process and maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate (collectively, "Account Information").
2.2. Pre-Existing Domain Names. If you use an existing domain name you previously registered with another provider in conjunction with the Hosting Service and choose to point this domain to your Hosted Content rather than transfer the domain to Vendio, you must request that the original registrar change the name servers for the domain name as instructed by Vendio. If you point a pre-existing domain name, fees payable to Vendio DO NOT include registration fees related to your pre-existing domain name, including renewal fees. You will continue to be responsible for all ongoing fees related to your domain name with your current provider.
2.3. International Use. You will comply with all international and local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Hosted Content. Specifically, you will comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.
2.4. Infringement. We cannot and do not check to see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of the domain name, infringes legal rights of others. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your domain name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should also be aware that if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, you will hold us harmless and indemnify us.
2.5. Domain Name Disputes. This policy incorporates by reference the Domain Name Dispute Policy found at http://www.vendio.com/ecommerce/terms/drp_terms (the"Dispute Policy") . If the registration or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain name registration is disputed by the third party. You also agree that, in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold Vendio harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. You also understand that it is important for you to regularly monitor (at least several times per week) email sent to the email address associated with the "registrant" in your Account Information because, among other reasons, if a dispute arises regarding a domain name in your account, you may lose your rights to the domain name if you do not respond expeditiously to an email sent in conjunction therewith.
2.6. Transfer to Another Registrar. You may not transfer your domain name registration to another domain name registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your initial domain name registration or after the expiration, but before the deletion, of your domain name. Your request to transfer to another registrar may be denied in situations which include, but are not limited to, a dispute over the identity of the domain name holder, bankruptcy, and failure to pay fees when due. You assume all risk for a failure of a transfer process if the transfer process is initiated close to the end of a registration term.
2.7. Expiration. It is your responsibility to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when your registration is set to expire. As a convenience to you, and not as a binding commitment, we may notify you via an email message or via your account information when renewal fees are due to avoid expiration. Should these fees go unpaid, your registration will expire or be cancelled. If you have selected the auto renew feature, we may attempt to renew your registration a reasonable time before the expiration of your registration, provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up to date. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date. Expiration of your domain will make your hosted site unreachable and may result in immediate termination of service without refund.
2.8. Registrar Lock. To prevent transfers not initiated by you, we may place a Registrar Lock ("lock") on your domain name. You also have the ability to prevent a transfer to another registrar by placing a lock on your domain name. By maintaining the locked status on your domain name, you are providing express objection to any and all transfer requests issued from another registrar. Should you choose to transfer to another registrar, you must log into your account and remove the lock prior to our receipt of the transfer request from the gaining registrar.
2.9. CPU Usage. You shall not use excessive amounts of CPU processing on any hosted servers. Any violation of this policy may result in corrective action. Such corrective action may include assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all services, or termination of this Agreement, which actions may be taken in Vendio's discretion. If Vendio takes any corrective action under this section, Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action. In the event you reasonably expect excessive CPU usage during a special event, such as event-driven exposure of your Hosted Content (i.e. press release, public relations "stunt," or large-scale advertising), it is your responsibility to contact Vendio to make arrangements to accommodate this event and to avoid corrective action as described in this section.
2.10. Bandwidth and Disk Usage. Your bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the number of megabytes per month for the Services you ordered (the "Agreed Usage"). Vendio will monitor your bandwidth and disk usage and notify you when you are getting close to your limits of bandwidth and/or disk usage. If you reach the limits of your Agreed Usage, you will be unable to add additional data and/or Vendio will no longer transmit Hosted Content on your behalf until the following month. If you require additional bandwidth and/or disk usage above your Agreed Usage, it is your responsibility to make arrangements with Vendio to avoid this limitation of service.
