Use of any information obtained by way of WEBVISIONS is at the Client's own risk, and WEBVISIONS specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its services. Connection speed represents the speed of a connection to and do not represent guarantees of available end to end bandwidth. WEBVISIONS expressly limits its damages to the Client for any non-accessibility time or other down time to the prorated monthly charge during the system unavailability. WEBVISIONS specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising as a consequence of such unavailability. In the event that this material is not "Server-ready", WEBVISIONS may, at its option and at any time, reject this material, including but not limited to after it has been put on WEBVISIONS's Server. WEBVISIONS agrees to notify Client immediately of its refusal of the material and afford Client the opportunity to amend or modify the material to satisfy the needs and/or requirements of WEBVISIONS. If the Client fails to modify the material, as directed by WEBVISIONS, within a reasonable period of time, which shall be determined between the parties themselves, the Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated.

3. WEBVISIONS maintains control and any ownership of any and all I.P. numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Client and reserves in its sole discretion the right to change or remove any and all IP numbers and addresses.

This includes the shutting down of any service at its sole discretion without any prior notice.

II. Trademarks & Copyrights:

WEBVISIONS makes no representations, warranties or assurances that the Customer's equipment or software will be compatible with the WEBVISIONS service.

IV. Internet Etiquette:

1. Electronic forums such as mail distribution lists and Use Net news groups all have expectations regarding subject area and appropriate etiquette for posting. Users of these forums should be considerate of the expectations and sensitivities of others on the network when posting material for electronic distribution. The network resources of WEBVISIONS may not be used to impersonate another person or misrepresent authorization to act on behalf of others or WEBVISIONS.

2. Use of distribution lists via unsolicited electronic mail or other mass electronic mailings is strictly prohibited. WEBVISIONS reserves the right to deactivate the Client's Virtual Server account(s) upon an indication of such activity.

V. Self Renewable Term & Termination:

1. To ensure continued and uninterrupted delivery of the Service, WEBVISIONS will automatically renew the Service for a term equal to the then-current billing term for the Service unless the Client notifies WEBVISIONS not less than 30 days before the expiry of the current Term. Upon subscribing to a plan as a customer, the Client hereby authorizes WEBVISIONS to bill to the Client subsequent terms' recurring subscription fees. Unless the Client has cancelled his plan with the requisite 30-day notice prior to the commencement of the next hosting cycle, the Client's hosting service will be kept active and the Client will be liable for the subscription charges billed for the next hosting period.

2. If the Client has signed up to be billed on a recurring basis via an authorised credit card, the Client authorizes WEBVISIONS to charge the Client's authorized credit card (or other approved facility) for the invoiced amount for the next hosting period if the requisite 30-day notice has not been received. The Client agrees not to report as lost or stolen any credit card which was used in conjunction with such payment to the credit card issuing bank or to WEBVISIONS or its payment processor for goods or services which the Client does not have good reason to believe is, in fact, lost or stolen. The Client further agrees not to report as unauthorized any charge for goods or services which you have ordered from WEBVISIONS (including subscriptions and renewal of subscriptions). An unsuccessful mode of payment (such as a rejected cheque or a rejected credit card payment) does not exempt the Client from liability to pay. Should the Client later dispute, withhold payment or fail to make payment for an issued tax invoice for the renewal of hosting service, the Client agrees to indemnify WEBVISIONS for any cost (including legal fees and charge-back) that WEBVISIONS incurs to recover the due payment from the Client.

3. Notwithstanding the above, WEBVISIONS may terminate service under this Agreement at any time, without penalty, if the Client fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any of the policies of WEBVISIONS as set out in their website or upon the failure of the Client to settle any sums due and payable or with 30 days' notice to the Client. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any accrued rights due to WEBVISIONS under this Agreement. Prior to suspending or terminating a service on the basis of a breach of agreement or for non-payment, WEBVISIONS will first notify the Client of the breach and provide sufficient time for the Client to remedy the same. In the event the Client fails to remedy the breach within the period stated in the notice given by WEBVISIONS, WEBVISIONS shall be entitled to suspend and/or terminate the services provided as it sees fit. Notwithstanding the above, WEBVISIONS is at liberty to dispense with service of a notice under this clause if:

(a) It has reasonable grounds to believe that delay in suspending and/or terminating the service is likely to harm and/or cause disruption to the network and business of WEBVISIONS;
(b) WEBVISIONS is acting in compliance with a requirement of any regulatory authority or law enforcement body;
(c) Where the Client is an individual, the individual dies; or
(d) Where the Client is a corporation, the corporation ceases to carry on its business.

4. In the event this Agreement is terminated, the Client is required to settle all outstanding payment due and payable to WEBVISIONS before any equipment belonging to them can be removed from WEBVISIONS' premises. Such removal must be during weekdays and normal business hours and should be conducted under the supervision of an authorised personnel from WEBVISIONS.

5. In the event the Client wishes to dispute any fees or charges in a statement of account, bill of charges or invoice issued by WEBVISIONS, this must be notified to WEBVISIONS as soon as possible and in any event, not later than the date on which the said amount becomes due and payable. All such disputes should be sent to accounting@webvisions.com and accompanied by the following information:

(a) Client and Company Name
(b) Domain Name
(c) Details of the relevant statement/bill/invoice that is being disputed
(d) Basis of the dispute together with any relevant evidence to support the same

Upon receipt of the above notice, WEBVISIONS will look into the matter and complete its investigation as soon as possible. The results of the said investigation will be made known to the Client as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding such a dispute being lodged by the Client, the Client is obliged to pay to WEBVISIONS the portion of the fees or charges contained in the relevant statement, bill and/or invoice that is not the subject of the said dispute and failure by the Client to do this can be treated as a breach of this Service Agreement and WEBVISIONS will be entitled to take the necessary actions in relation to such a breach.
