Web Sites. In accordance with Host's Policies and Procedures, Customer shall provide all content to be included on the Customer Web site, including without limitation, text, graphics, video, images, audio and other forms of content ("Customer Content") in the format designated by Host from time to time.

In consideration for the Services, Customer shall pay to Host the charges and other fees and costs specified in the Order Form completed by Customer for use of the Services. "Order Form" means a paper or electronic form used by Customer to request the Services. If for any reason the billing information provided by Customer becomes invalid and Host cannot collect payment after attempting to contact the Customer, then Host reserves the right to terminate the Services. Accounts that are not collectable by Host after 45 days may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, Customer agrees to pay Host a "Processing and Collection" fee not to exceed $75.00.

Host is under no obligation to keep possession of the Order Form, and reserves the right to destroy the Order Form at any time. 4.2 Customer's Obligations and Representations. Customer represents and warrants that: (a) Customer has not intentionally incorporated and shall not incorporate into the Customer Content, nor will it provide to Host in connection with the Services, any code designed to interrupt normal processing; (b) Customer shall not submit any materials to Host or place any content on the Customer Web sites that shall cause Customer, Host, or any of their affiliates, to be in violation of any present or future law, ordinance, order, rule or requirements of any governments, courts, administrative agencies or similar bodies (the "Regulations") in the United States and elsewhere; (c) Customer shall utilize the Services solely for lawful purposes and in accordance with all applicable Regulations; (d) Customer has obtained all rights and licenses for the manipulation and display of Customer Content on the Customer Web site; (e) Customer shall at all times comply with all applicable Regulations respecting defamatory, obscene, or pornographic materials or communications, or governing the infringement of copyright, trade secret or other proprietary rights, including intellectual property and publication rights, of any third party, or relating to the invasion of privacy of any third party; and (f) Customer's use of the Customer Web site and Services and Customer Content shall conform with Host's Policies and Procedures. 5.1 Term.

Either party may terminate the Service if the other Party materially breaches any of its material obligations as set forth in these Terms of Service and fails to cure such breach within 30 days after written notice thereof, provided, however, that, if any undisputed payment under these Terms of Service is more than ten (10) days past due, the party to whom payment is due may in its discretion terminate the Service. The foregoing termination shall be effective upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Host may immediately terminate the Service if, in Host's sole discretion, Customer fails to fulfill any of Customer's obligations or representations. 6. Pricing. Host will bill Customer for the amount as listed on the Order Form. Host reserves the right to change or modify pricing at anytime in the future without prior notice to the Customer.
