This Service Agreement governs customer's purchase and use, in
any manner, of all services, including Dedicated and Managed Hosting,
as described in the Order Form, ordered by customer and accepted
by Host4You.Net (Host4You.Net) and describes the terms and conditions
that apply to such purchase and use of the Services. Host4You.Net
reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions
contained in this Agreement, the Addendum and any policy or guideline
incorporated by reference at any time and from time to time in
its sole discretion, and to determine whether and when any such
changes apply to both existing or future customers. Any modification
will be effective upon posting of the revisions on our site.
Host4You.Net may post changes or modifications to referenced policies
and guidelines without notice to you. Your continued use of the

IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF ANY MODIFICATION, DO
NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES AND IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY SENTRIS
NETWORK LLC. (Host4You.Net) OF YOUR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT
IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW.
1. This Agreement shall be for an "Initial Term" of thirty (30)
days for all services -- including Dedicated and Managed Hosting.
Customer agrees to all terms and conditions of services provided
by Host4You.Net, beginning upon receipt by fax, e-mail, or express
mail.
2. All charges for Services (including installation and professional
support fees) are non-refundable and must be paid in advance according
to the then current price applicable to the Services. Upon registration
for Dedicated and Managed hosting, customer must choose to pay
for the Services either by credit card or upon your receipt of
an invoice. If customer chooses to pay by credit card upon registering
for Dedicated Hosting services, customer thereby authorizes Host4You.Net
to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that
may apply to your account. Customer agrees that Host4You.Net may
accumulate any supplemental charges, as described in the Order
Form, incurred by you in your use of the Services ("Supplemental
Charges") until such charges exceed $20 and then charge your card.
Customer must notify Host4You.Net of any changes to your card
account (including, without limitation, applicable account number
or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address,
or any information that may prohibit Host4You.Net from charging
your account.
Host4You.Net may also send periodic invoices to customer for any
applicable Supplemental Charges associated with your use of the
Services. Customer agrees to pay to Host4You.Net the amount indicated
in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice. If customer
fails to pay any fees and taxes within three (3) days from applicable
due date for credit card or invoice payments, a late payment fee
of $10.00 become payable by you to Host4You.Net. In addition,
customer's failure to fully pay all fees and taxes within five
(5) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material
breach of this Agreement, justifying Host4You.Net suspension of
its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement.
Customer is responsible for any fees associated with reinstated
of Services. Any such termination would not relieve customer from
paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of collection
enforcement, customer will be liable for any costs associated
with such collection, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.
3. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal
Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the
Initial Term unless you provide Host4You.Net with notice of termination
at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term
or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable. No refund,
no prorate, once payment is made or credit card's charged.
4. Initial payment is due upon activation of account. Activation
takes effect on the date of receipt of payment, and will be renewed
automatically for identical successive periods. Any changes made
to the customer's package shall be billed accordingly. No refund,
no prorate, once payment is made or credit card's charged.
5. All orders are subject to acceptance by Host4You.Net. An order
will be deemed accepted by our company when confirmation of the
order is sent to the customer. We may refuse to accept any order,
or delay acceptance awaiting completion of conditions the company
may choose to exercise. Such refusal of such conditions may not
be unreasonable, however, and Host4You.Net agrees to provide the
customer with reasonable notice by E-mail or fax of any intent
to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.
6. Host4You.Net reserves the right to suspend the customer's account
and services without notice should there be any problems with
the customers method of payment. This includes expired credit
cards, declined credit cards, inactive credit cards, and invalid
checks.
7. Bandwidth utilization will be monitored via MRTG and calculated
every 1st of the month by the following method: ((monthly average
in + monthly average out) kbps x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24
hours x 31 days) / (8 Bits x 1000 x 1000) = Total Data Transfer
(GB).
8. Customer will be responsible for all server management and
administration related issues. Available managed solutions include:
OS restore, software installation, hardware installation, kernel
/ apache recompile, and security (patches) update. Standard service
tickets will be processed within 3-5 days. Managed services fees
are charged at $50 per hour. For priority (immediate) services,
professional (remote hand) support is available at $75.00 per
hour with a one (1) hour minimum requirement. Critical matters, like a simple reboot,
will be handled in just 1-8 hours, not days. And OS reinstall will take 12-24 hours and hardware replacement will take 24-48 hours. Please contact us
on what constitutes critical matters.
9. Host4You.Net reserve the right to levy a penalty fee of $10.00
per violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Service Agreement.
10. The data transfer of 682GB/2000GB per server at the monthly
fee listed on our site (if any) is applicable to the first 30
days of service. The bandwidth package for all subsequent months
will be listed at http://host4you.net/dedicated.shtml. In the
event of over-usage, customers will incurred a fee of $0.50 /
1GB for the aforementioned server. 1GB = 3kbps. We bill you for
your bandwidth usage on every 1st day of the month.
11. Each server is assigned twenty (20) IPs at no charge. Additional
IPs are available for $1.00 each per month, in blocks of 10 IPs.
12. Cpanel licenses are provided by cPanel (not Host4You.Net).
Customers who request the aforementioned license keys will be
billed by Host4You.Net, plus an extra $1 surcharge fee to cover
the transaction fees.
13. Each customer is required to utilize available network bandwidth
so as to allow for reasonable network performance by all Host4You.Net
users. Because bandwidth is a shared resource, excessive consumption
of network bandwidth can interfere with or completely prevent
normal network performance for other servers. Persistent, high-volume
use of bandwidth-intensive tools and applications can and does
prevent other users from being able to access the network.
Host4You.Net provides temporary burst (not sustained speed) up
to 100Mbps for each server as a courtesy only. Servers that use
more 10Mbps for 20 minutes or longer and/or consistently causing
performance problems will be disconnected from the network to
prevent such activities from obstructing network access for other
users. Furthermore, customer will be responsible for all fees
related to excessive bandwidth usage.
II. Taxes
Host4You.Net shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to
be paid in accordance with or related to purchases made from the
customer or Host4You.Net servers. Customer also agrees to take
full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated
with any such products sold.
III. Material & Products
1. Host4You.Net will exercise no control whatsoever over the content
of the information passing through the network or on the customer's
web sites. Host4You.Net makes no warranties or guarantees of any
kind, whether expressed or implied for the service it is providing.
Host4You.Net also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or
fitness for particular purpose and will not be responsible for
any damages that may be suffered by the customer, including loss
of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries or service interruptions
or gaps by any cause or errors or omissions of the customer. Host4You.Net
is not responsible for any loss, erasure, or corruption of customer's
data or files whatsoever. Use of any information obtained by way
of Host4You.Net is at the customer's own risk, and the company
specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality
of information obtained through its services. Network connectivity
represents the speed of connection to our network and does not
represent guarantees of available end to end bandwidth.
Host4You.Net expressly limits its damages to the customer for
any non-accessibility time or other down time to the pro-rate
monthly charge during the system unavailability. Host4You.Net
specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising
from a consequence of such unavailability. In the event that this
material is not "server-ready", Host4You.Net may, at its option
and at any time, reject this material, including but not limited
to after it has been put on our servers. Host4You.Net agrees to
notify customer immediately of our refusal of the material and
afford customer the opportunity to amend or modify the material
to satisfy the needs and/or requirements of the company. If the
customer fails to modify the material, as directed by Host4You.Net,
within a reasonable period of time, which shall be determined
between the parties themselves, the Agreement shall be terminated.
IV. Uptime Guarantee
Host4You.Net guarantees that our network will be available 100%
of the time in a given month excluding scheduled maintenance or
abuse by other user(s) sharing your connection. In the event that
our network is inaccessible for more than one hour during any
thirty (30) days period, each customer will automatically be granted
an additional 100GB of data transfer free of charge for the following
month as compensation for the aforementioned downtime. Network
uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including
routers, switches and cabling. Network downtime exists when a
particular customer is unable to transmit and receive data and
Host4You.Net records such failure in the Host4You.Net trouble
ticket system. Network downtime is measured from the time the
trouble ticket is opened by a customer to the time the server
is once again able to transmit and receive data.

The parties shall try to resolve all disputes that might arise
out of this agreement in a spirit of cooperation without formal
procedures. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved (other than
the collection of money due on unpaid invoices) and other than
the injunctive relief referred to in paragraph 10 shall be subject
to arbitration upon written demand of either party. Arbitration
shall take place in King County, Washington. The arbitration will
take place before an arbitration panel chosen as follows: The
parties shall each choose an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators
shall choose a third arbitrator and determine the third arbitrator's
pay. Each party shall have one veto over the choice of the third
arbitrator. The three arbitrators shall schedule an informal proceeding,
hear the arguments, and decide the matter by secret majority vote.
Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall pay
the costs of its own arbitrator, and shall pay half of the other
costs of the arbitration proceeding.
Each party shall have the right to have the proceedings transcribed.
The arbitrators will not have the authority to award punitive
damages or any other form of relief not contemplated in the contract.
The majority of arbitrators shall render a written opinion setting
forth the basis on which they arrived at the decision regarding
each issue submitted to arbitration; the dissenting arbitrator,
if any, shall not issue a dissenting opinion. Regarding each issue
submitted to arbitration, the decision will be final and binding
only to the extent it is accompanied by a written explanation
of the basis upon which it was arrived at. Judgment upon the award,
if any, rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction.

party shall be entitled to recover reasonable legal fees and expenses
incurred at the trial and appellate levels.
