This Agreement does not constitute a license to you to use IPM trade names or service marks. Your use of any intellectual property rights and/or Confidential Information mentioned in this Agreement or otherwise owned or licensed by IPM is limited to your use in connection with the IPM Web Site, Hosting Services, Support Services and/or any IPM software, service, or product made available to you.

You further warrant that you are not located in, nor will you be located in for so long as you are using the IPM Services, a sanctioned country or using, nor will you use, the IPM Services with any of the sanctioned countries. OFAC prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in all or certain commercial activities with certain sanctioned countries (each a “Sanctioned Country”) and certain individuals, organizations or entities, including without limitation, certain “Specially Designated Nationals” (“SDN”) listed by OFAC. If you are or become located in a Sanctioned Country or listed as an SDN, you are prohibited from registering or signing up with, subscribing to, or using the IPM Services. Unless otherwise provided with explicit permission, IPM prohibits the use of any of the IPM Services in connection with, any Country-Code Top Level Domain Name for any Sanctioned Country.

Data Security: IPM makes reasonable efforts to maintain the security of the operation of the IPM service; however, because many events and circumstances are beyond the control of IPM, IPM does not in any way warrant or otherwise guarantee the availability of the IPM Services and it shall not be responsible for any delay or loss of data, lack of connection, slow connection, or any other such issues, for any reason, whether due to the active or passive negligence of IPM or otherwise.

IPM does not have knowledge of the data you store within IPM’s hosted systems, including the quantity, value or use of your data. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of all information and data you or any other person (including any reseller of the IPM Services to you) places or makes available on, or transmits through, IPM’s hosted systems (“Your Information”), including, but not limited to website, e-mail and database file information.  IPM has no obligation related to Your Information and is not responsible for anything that happens, including without limitation any loss of, breach of or unintended disclosure or use of Your Information resulting from someone using your account information/ password to obtain access to the IPM Services.

You agree that you will maintain the confidentiality of  your credentials used to access the IPM Services and that you assume all responsibility of and from any loss, theft or other destruction of any data as the result of any access to your account via the use of your credentials. You further agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless IPM of and from any and all third party claims, causes of action, demands, costs, damages including both direct and consequential damages, specifically including attorney’s fees and costs, expert fees and costs and mediation and/or arbitration fees and costs incurred (whether paid or not) as the result of any claim for damages in any way related to the disclosure of your credentials.

You are therefore responsible to take all reasonable steps to mitigate the risks inherent in the provision of the IPM Services, including loss of Your Information, including any personal or “cardholder data” as that term is defined in the Payment Card Industry-Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS). You are sole administrator of Your Information. You acknowledge and agree that IPM is not, and will not be, your sole form of storage and back up of information, and that you have stored your data, including all of your Information in an additional location that you deem appropriate for your data storage.

You agree not to collect or attempt to collect personally identifiable information of any person or entity without their express consent. You shall maintain records of any such consent throughout the term of any agreement that you have with IPM and for three years thereafter.

Privacy is your responsibility. You acknowledge that there are risks with privacy inherent with the use of internet connectivity that could result in loss of your and/or your customers’ privacy. IPM cannot guarantee that the technical, physical, and organizational measures we take will prevent every privacy and security threat. You remain responsible for personal and other sensitive information stored on, collected by or processed through the Services, for compliance with applicable data protection laws, and for encrypting any personal or otherwise sensitive information stored or transmitted to/from IPM’ hosted system.

Disclosure of Information/Malicious Activity Provisions: You agree not to undertake any action which is harmful or potentially harmful to the IPM server structure.

You may not utilize, enable, upload or publicly store source code, executable code or programs on the IPM network or servers that are designed to perform the following activities including, without limitation: (a) performing local/remote security vulnerability scans; (b) simulating local shell/OS access by means of a tunneled/encapsulated connection to a remote host; (c) circumventing firewall restrictions; (d) connecting to any IRC/Peer to Peer file sharing server/network; (e) providing tracker servers to BitTorrent clients; (f) running any kind of proxy server (including anonymous proxies); and/or (g) exploiting any other vulnerabilities, as determined by IPM.

IPM reserves the right to limit the access to the infrastructure or to block any network access it believes is harmful.  IPM shall not be responsible for delay or loss of data due to IPM limiting access to the infrastructure or blocking network access or IP addresses seen by IPM as unsafe/malicious.

You may not make your account (including but not limited to web space, email accounts, bandwidth, storage space, or reseller rights) available to any third party in any way, including but not limited to the use of Sub Domains, Add-on Domains, Sub Directories or by any other means.

Computer Security and Prohibition on Unauthorized Audits by You: IPM uses a third party to run security and vulnerability audits of its network. These audits include, but are not limited to, port scans, server configuration audits and other security and vulnerability checks that help ensure that the network IPM manages is secure. At times, current or potential IPM customers request to have their own audits run on the IPM network. IPM prohibits you as well as third parties from running any type of security audit or check of the IPM network, apart from those audits or checks that are initiated by IPM or that have prior written approval from IPM. Unauthorized scans or checks of the IPM network will be treated as an attack against the IPM network and will be dealt with accordingly, including, but not limited to, immediate account termination and/or any legal recourse available.

Backups: IPM provides backup services (with the exception of IIS .log files) for purchase by IPM. Unless you have purchased such backup services as part of your IPM Services, IPM does not back up your data.

You shall take all measures necessary to protect your data from any loss or damage and agree to perform regularly scheduled and frequent backups of all of your data to ensure continuity of the services.  If you purchase backup services from IPM, you agree that such backup services procured through IPM are not your sole form of backup for the data. You agree to have copies of all data that you have contracted with IPM to back up as part of the IPM Services on another back up system. It is not guaranteed that the back up copies will be available by IPM as there are unknown issues that may arise preventing complete or acceptable restorations. In addition, IPM does not promise to retain any data backup(s) following termination/cancellation of this Agreement.

Upon cancellation/termination of the IPM Services, all of Your Information will be deleted immediately. Therefore, should you require a copy of Your Information, you should take steps necessary to retrieve that information prior to cancellation/termination of services. Should you fail to retrieve such information, and should you require a copy of said information after the date of cancellation/termination IPM may be able to retrieve Your Information from back-up files for an additional fee (to be determined at the time of request but could include data restoration and custom support fees). However, IPM does not guarantee that it will be able to provide you Your Information after the date of cancellation/termination.

Limitations on Access to IPM Servers: IPM may, at its sole discretion, limit or deny access to its servers, for any reason, including the blocking of certain ports and/or the denial of certain services, if, in the sole judgment of IPM, such limitations or denials of access are required to assure the security of the network, the integrity of the network structure, or to prevent damage to the network, the software or the data stored on the IPM servers.

Payment of Fees: Payment shall be made to IPM in U.S. dollars only. Payments are due upon account activation, as scheduled under any agreement providing for any future or recurring payments, including any Term Agreements (as defined below), and future account renewal, and may be made through the use of a valid credit card and, if permitted by IPM in its sole discretion, by personal/business check or money order, except that payment for products or services whose billing is based in whole or in part on consumption (“Consumable Services”), such as Cloud Virtual Private Servers, a la cart email, databases or backup services, can only be paid by credit card. All set-up fees, regardless of the type of service, must be paid in advance.  Payment for any other fees applicable to a Consumable Service (including any base fees or any variable fee based on consumption) shall be automatically charged to the credit card you have on file with IPM at the end of the monthly billing cycle in which the fees were incurred. Payment of the recurring charges for services other than Consumable Services shall be paid in advance for the term of the billing cycle you initially selected, but in any event, at least one month in advance. Billing will continue to occur automatically until you cancel the IPM Services pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Agreement. If shortfalls in payment to IPM of the full invoice amount occur due to bank fees, transfer fees, or the like, or you incur any charges for IPM Services not included in your billing cycle recurring payment, IPM will invoice you for the shortfall or additional charges on the next Monthly Billing Date (defined below), whether or not you are on a monthly billing cycle, subsequent to the date(s) in which such shortfalls occurred or such additional charges were incurred.  IPM, at its sole discretion, may discontinue, withhold, suspend or terminate IPM Services to you for failure to pay any fees other than those for Consumable Services within twenty-eight (28) days after the date on which such fees were billed and for failure to any fees for Consumable Services within (14) days after the date on which such fees were billed.

A “Term Agreement” means any IPM Services plan or agreement with IPM (whether manually signed or agreed to on-line, including via click-thru) pursuant to which you committed to procure products and services governed by this Agreement for a specified period of time equal to or greater than six (6) months. Unless otherwise provided in the Term Agreement or otherwise agreed to by IPM in writing, all payments under a Term Agreement shall be made by ACH (or credit card, if permitted in writing by IPM). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, recurring payments under a Term Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the schedule set forth therein (if no schedule is set forth therein, then the monthly recurring payments shall be due and payable one month in advance on the Monthly Billing Date, and all non-recurring payments (including those for Consumable Services) shall be due and payable on the first Monthly Billing Date following the date on which such non-recurring charges were incurred.

If you have a credit card on file with IPM, the card will be automatically charged for all amounts due under this Agreement as they become due and payable.

UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY IPM IN WRITING, INCLUDING IN A TERM AGREEMENT, ALL PRICING FOR IPM SERVICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE ON AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR NOTICE FROM IPM TO YOU.  Your use of any IPM Services on or following any price change notice shall be deemed your acceptance of such price changes.

Notwithstanding anything in any other writing, publication, agreement or document to the contrary, all promotional pricing offers (including without limitation those accessed by the entry of a promotional code or otherwise identified as special or promotional pricing) expire six (6) months from the date the such promotional pricing was first applied.

Billing Cycle: For Term Agreements: The “Billing Cycle” for all Term Agreements, unless otherwise specified therein, shall commence the day the IPM Services were initially ordered under the Term Agreement and continue for one month, and each subsequent monthly Billing Cycle shall start on the same day of the respective month as the date on which the IPM Services were initially ordered (the “Monthly Billing Date”).

Not Pursuant to a Term Agreement: The “Billing Cycle” for all IPM Services not subject to a Term Agreement shall commence the day the services/plans were initially ordered and continue for one month, and each subsequent Billing Cycle shall start on the same day of the respective month as the date on which the services/plans were initially ordered (the “Monthly Billing Date”). You may elect the length of your Billing Cycle for recurring charges for IPM Services other than Consumable Services either through the applicable administrative portal (if such option is available in the portal) for products or services managed through that portal or by contacting the Billing and Account Management Department; however, any charges in addition to the recurring charges shall be invoiced on the next Monthly Billing Date immediately following the date(s) on which such additional charges were incurred.

The Monthly Billing Date for any Plan or service can only be changed upon special request, and the granting or denial of any such request will be at IPM’s sole discretion.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, IPM may make minor adjustments to any Billing Cycle at its discretion and convenience, including without limitation, for legal or accounting purposes.

Upgrades and Downgrades: Upgrades and Downgrades to IPM Services must be submitted by you within the applicable administrative control portal. Upgrades are charged a setup fee of the difference between the setup fees of the two plans (the old plan and the upgraded plan), and a prorated fee for the difference in plan prices for any time that was paid for in advance. Downgrades receive a prorated credit for any whole months paid for in advance, but no credit is given for any initial setup fees. You are responsible for, and must be aware of, what will be gained and/or what will be lost in changing plans. IPM is not responsible for lost files, data and/or information due to changes in plans.

Additional Fees: You agree that use of IPM Services hereunder will not exceed any usage limits/allocations set forth under your particular plan details. It is your responsibility to make yourself aware of all of your plan details, including any usage limits/allocations.  If you do exceed any of the specified usage limits/allocations, you agree to pay any additional fees charged therefor by IPM and/or the reseller from whom you purchased the IPM Services.

For Dedicated Customers: You have the ability to install custom software on the server you lease from IPM as long as you have the proper licensing in place for the use of such software. In most cases, IPM will request proof of ownership and licensing of the software prior to approving the installation of the software. Should you send IPM original copies of licensing and/or software in any form (paper, compact disc, etc.), IPM shall not be held responsible for the storage and/or safekeeping of the any licensing documentation and/or software sent to IPM in any form (paper, compact disc, etc.).

If the account attributed to a Reseller’s customer is deemed abandoned, IPM may under the following circumstances deal directly with the End User. IPM will deem an End-User’s account abandoned if:

1. Reseller has breached the terms of this Agreement with respect to the End-User account, including failure to make timely payments on the account, so that IPM would have the right to terminate the account, or Reseller fails to adequately service the account on behalf of the End User in IPM’s reasonable discretion (each, a Reseller Failure);
2. There has been no customer administrative activity on the End-User account for a period of at least two (2) consecutive months;
3.

4. Reseller fails to cure the Reseller Failure(s), and to provide IPM written or electronic notification that the End-User Account is not abandoned, within ten (10) days of the date of the Abandon Notice.

In the event the End User’ss account is deemed abandoned and the End User (a) requests IPM to activate an account under their ownership and (b) enters into an agreement with IPM attesting to their ownership of the information or data, including without limitation website files, database files, e-mails, e-mail accounts and related materials in the End User’s account, and agreeing to indemnify IPM for any actions taken by it in reliance on such attestation, IPM reserves the right to use such information or data to create and maintain the new account, and you, a Reseller, agree that we may do so and you will have waived any objection to the foregoing actions by IPM.

Domain Registration and Other Services: As part of the IPM Services, for additional fees IPM can assist with domain name registrations (“Domain Name”) on your behalf.

Cust-name:
Street-address-1:
Street-address-2:
City:
State:

Information Usage and Communications: During and after the term of this Agreement you agree to receive periodic emails from IPM and/or its affiliates in regards to IPM, its affiliates or any of their or any of their partners’ products or services, your account and system conditions, changes, updates and/or schedules.

You agree to provide, and at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain, true and accurate account information on file with IPM specifically including your Name, Address, Email address, telephone number and any other account information requested at any time during the sign up process. You further agree that the failure to provide or maintain such accurate information is a material breach of this Agreement and subjects your account to suspension and/or termination by IPM.

Cancellation, Suspension and Termination:

Cancellation:  Cancellations of service must be made via telephone (Toll-Free at 877.323.4678, International at 602.263.0300), and will not be made without first verifying your correct Customer/User ID (provided by IPM) and account PIN (created by you); provided, however, that IPM, may, under certain circumstances and in its sole and absolute discretion, permit alternative forms of account verification if you are unable to produce the correct Customer/User ID and related PIN. You may cancel any IPM Services not covered under a Term Agreement at any time.  Any such cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will be charged a cancellation fee equal to the amount of any remaining whole months of services for which you have prepaid (it being understood that there are no refunds for the balance of the month in which you cancel the services).  You are obligated to pay all payments due under a Term Agreement for the entire term of the Term Agreement regardless of whether you cancel the IPM Services covered thereby prior to the expiration of the term.  In the event you do cancel the Term Agreement or the IPM Services covered thereby prior to the expiration of the term of the Term Agreement, all future payments due thereunder shall be accelerated and become due within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the Term Agreement or IPM Services covered thereby were canceled.  Upon any cancellation, your domain name will remain registered for the remainder of the then-current term (including to the end of the term covered by a Term Agreement), but will cease working with your email and pointing to your cancelled website.  IPM is not responsible for your failure to use the IPM Services. You have the right to cancel the services/plans that you have purchased at any time. Therefore, non-use of the services/plans offered DOES NOT constitute a cancellation of said services/plans

Suspension:  At the sole option of IPM for any reason set forth herein or in the event that you breach any term of this Agreement, including but not limited to any violation of the IPM Acceptable Use Policy, IPM may suspend providing the IPM Services to you by deactivating any access by you and/or by web users to such IPM Services while maintaining your Information upon the IPM servers. Suspension shall specifically include disabling access to Your Information. IPM may, at its sole discretion, provide you with notification of such suspension. At IPM’s sole discretion, IPM may provide you with an opportunity to correct such breach or violation. Upon being notified of an opportunity to correct such breach or violation, if such breach or violation is not corrected the account may be terminated by IPM. Service charges will continue to accrue on suspended accounts as if they were not suspended. You will remain responsible for the payment of any such charges during any period of suspension. Should any account require suspension, IPM will retain the right to recover from you losses, damages, indemnity, defense costs, expert costs, collection costs and/or attorneys’ fees or other costs of any kind to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  In the event your account is suspended as a result of a failure to timely pay for the IPM Services, IPM may, at its sole and absolute discretion, unsuspend your account after it receives payment in full of all amounts outstanding under the account, including without limitation any and all late fees.

Termination: IPM may also, in its discretion, terminate your right to receive some or all of the IPM Services being provided to you effectively immediately (or such later time as IPM may elect to provide in its sole discretion) upon any breach by you of any term of this Agreement, including but not limited to any violation of the IPM Acceptable Use Policy, or as otherwise permitted by IPM under this Agreement.  IPM will use reasonable efforts to give you reasonable notice of such termination (taking into account the circumstances and reasons for the termination).   Should any account require termination, IPM will retain the right to recover from you losses, damages, indemnity, defense costs, expert costs, collection costs and/or attorney’s fees or other costs of any kind to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Effect of Termination/Cancellation:   Upon termination/cancellation, IPM will cut off your IPM Services and delete Your Information immediately. Accordingly, Your Information may be lost forever, and IPM accepts absolutely no liability for the deletion of Your Information upon or any termination/cancellation of the IPM Services. It is your sole responsibility to maintain a back-up of all of Your Information at all times, even if you have contracted with IPM to maintain an additional back-up of Your Information.  Therefore, should you require a copy of Your Information, you should take steps necessary to retrieve that information prior to cancellation/termination of the IPM Services.  Should you fail to maintain a back-up of Your Information or retrieve a copy of Your Information prior to cancellation/termination, IPM MAY be able to, but shall have absolutely no obligations to, retrieve some or all of Your Information from back-up files for an additional fee (to be determined at the time of request but could include data restoration and custom support fees) for a period of fourteen (14) days following the termination/cancellation date. However, IPM does not guarantee that it will be able to provide you any of Your Information after cancellation/termination of the IPM Services.
