ACNT SHARED WEB SITE HOSTING SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following terms and conditions govern the provision by ACNT and the access and use by its customer ("Customer") of ACNT's shared Web site hosting services. BY BEGINNING USE OF CUSTOMER'S ACCOUNT, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING REVIEWED AND ACCEPTED THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. ACNT reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, and to determine whether and when any such changes or modifications will apply to existing customers, future customers or both. Any changes or modifications will be effective upon posting of the revisions to the ACNT website. ACNT will post a notice of such changes or modifications to this Agreement on its website for not less than 30 days. Customer's continued use of ACNT's services following ACNT's posting of any changes or modifications to this Agreement will constitute Customer's acceptance of such changes or modifications. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT BEGIN USE OF ITS ACCOUNT OR ACNT'S SERVICES, AND CUSTOMER SHOULD IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY ACNT. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGE OF MODIFICATION TO THIS AGREEMENT, CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT CONTINUE USING THE SERVICES AND SHOULD IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY ACNT OF ITS TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. Scope of Services. ACNT shall provide website hosting services to Customer during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the ACNT website hosting service plan ("Plan") selected by Customer. Customer acknowledges that the Customer Website (such term and certain other capitalized terms being defined in Section 17) will not be hosted on a server dedicated to Customer but on a server, which ACNT also uses to host Webster for its other customers. ACNT may discontinue servicing any Plan, or may require fulfillment of conditions ACNT may choose to impose as a prerequisite for continuing to service any Plan. All services provided by ACNT to Customer under this Agreement shall be deemed to be accepted by Customer, unless Customer submits to ACNT a written claim or objection regarding such services within 30 days after performance.

2. Orders; Acceptance. All orders issued by Customer are subject to acceptance by ACNT and shall not be binding on ACNT until so accepted. An order will be deemed to be accepted by ACNT when written confirmation of the order is sent to Customer by ACNT. ACNT may refuse to accept any order for any reason (including the creditworthiness of any proposed customer), or delay acceptance of an order pending fulfillment of conditions ACNT may choose to impose. ACNT agrees to provide Customer with reasonable notice of its refusal to accept an order or its intent to delay the acceptance of any order.

3. Prices.

A: All prices for the Plans are listed online at http://www.acnt.net/english/products_&_services/web_site_hosting/index.html and are stated in US dollars. These prices are subject to change from time to time, and different pricing may apply to any renewal of service beyond the initial term Customer has chosen.

B: Customer shall be responsible for paying all sales, use, revenue, excise and other taxes imposed by any taxing authority with respect to the services provided by ACNT under this Agreement (other than taxes based solely on Internal's net income or gross receipts), irrespective of which party may be responsible for reporting or collecting such taxes. ACNT may invoice separately for such taxes, and Customer shall pay such invoices promptly after receipt.

4. Payment; Renewal Notices. All payments shall be made in US dollars by a method specified by ACNT. Payments are due upon account activation and future renewal dates. Services will not be activated until payment is received. Service for any renewal period will not be provided unless and until ACNT has received payment for such renewal period. Renewal notifications will be sent as follows. Customers making payments by one of the following payment methods will receive notification via e-mail approximately thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date: (a) Check, (b) Money Order or (c) Autodraft. Customers making payments by credit card will receive notification via e-mail not less than three days prior to the renewal date. Should payment in full of any amount owed to ACNT under this Agreement not be received by ACNT within ten (10) days after such payment has become due, such amounts will thereafter bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. If any payment due ACNT is collected at law or through an attorney at law or under advice there from or through a collection agency, Customer agrees to pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

5. Term and Terminations.

A: The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement will commence on the date of Customer's order and, unless sooner terminated as provided below, will continue for the initial period specified in Customer's order. Thereafter, this Agreement will be automatically renewed for successive additional periods of the same duration as the initial period, unless either party gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal at least 20 days prior to expiration of then then-current term.

B: The services provided by ACNT under this Agreement carry a 30-day money back guarantee. If Customer is not fully satisfied with ACNT's services under this Agreement for any reason during the first 30 days of service, Customer may terminate this Agreement by sending written notice of termination to ACNT. Notice of termination must be received by ACNT within 30 days after the date of Customer's order. If Customer terminates this Agreement as provided in this Section 3(B), ACNT shall refund to Customer all monthly service fees paid in advance by Customer. Set up fees, installation fees, host system charges, parking fees, provisioning charges and consulting fees are non-refundable and will not be returned to Customer despite any termination of this Agreement.

C: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) failure of the other party to pay when due any amounts owed hereunder; (ii) breach by the other party of any material term or provision of this Agreement (other than failure to make payments due under this Agreement), and if capable of cure, failure to cure within 30 days of written notice thereof by the non-breaching party; (iii) the other party becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (iv) any proceeding is instituted by or against the other party under any bankruptcy or similar laws for the relief of debtors; or (v) the appointment of any trustee or receiver for all or any portion of the other party's assets.

D: Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) if the services provided by ACNT under this Agreement become prohibited, impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or regulatory reason, ACNT may terminate this Agreement by providing Customer with as much prior notice as is reasonably practical, and (ii) if ACNT determines in good faith that Customer's use of the Customer Website or the Customer Content is in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, ACNT may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Customer.
E: Upon termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason whatsoever, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. The provisions of Sections 5(E), 7, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason whatsoever, and, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the parties shall each remain liable to the other for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore arising under this Agreement. If ACNT terminates this Agreement under Section 5(C) or 5(D)(ii), or if Customer terminates this Agreement for any reason other than in accordance with Sections 5(C)(i) or (ii), then ACNT shall be entitled to retain all service fees and other fees and charges paid in advance by Customer hereunder and under any other agreement between Customer and ACNT, regardless of whether such fees have been earned by ACNT (the "Termination Charge"). Termination of this Agreement and such Termination Charge shall not be in lieu of, but shall be in addition to, any other legal or equitable rights or remedies to which ACNT may be entitled. If Customer terminates this Agreement in accordance with Sections 5(C)(i) or (ii), ACNT shall return to Customer, and Customer shall accept, as Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for ACNT's breach of this Agreement, a pro rata portion of all monthly service fees paid in advance by Customer hereunder based upon the percentage of the then-current term remaining after the date of termination. Such pro rata portion of all monthly service fees paid in advance by Customer hereunder shall also be returned to Customer by ACNT if ACNT terminates this Agreement under Section 5(D)(i).

6. Domain Name Registration. Customer will provide ACNT with a registered domain name for the Customer Website, or, upon Customer's request and subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, ACNT will register an Internet domain name on behalf of Customer through ACNT accredited partner by ICANN. ACNT's registration of any domain name is subject to (i) ACNT receiving from Customer all information needed from Customer in order to complete such registration, and (ii) such domain name not being in violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or the policies of Network Solutions or other registration service. Registration of a domain name will also be subject to availability of such domain name for registration, and ACNT will not be responsible if a domain name is not available for any reason. ACNT will also not be responsible for any infringement of third party rights caused by its registration of a domain name for Customer. Customer hereby waives any and all claims which it may have against ACNT for, and hereby releases ACNT of and from, any loss, damage, liability or expense arising out of, or relating to, the registration of such domain name in any on-line or off-line network directories, membership lists or registration lists, or the release of the domain name from such directories or lists following the termination of services by ACNT for any reason. Customer shall reimburse ACNT for all costs and expenses incurred by ACNT in registering or maintaining a domain name for Customer, including, without limitation, all fees charged by the InterNIC, Network Solutions or other registration service. Customer acknowledges that its rights to any domain name registered by ACNT are not being granted by ACNT but are subject to the rules and regulations of the InterNIC and applicable law. Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of InterNIC's current domain name policies and the policies of the national DNS registration authorities to which Customer becomes subject upon registration of the domain name. Customer's inability to use a domain name shall not entitle Customer to a refund by ACNT of any fees paid with respect to the registration of such unusable domain name. As between ACNT and Customer, the domain name for the Customer Website shall be the property of Customer.

7. Customer's Representations and Warranties. Customer represents and warrants to ACNT that: (a) Customer is and shall remain at all times during the term of this Agreement the owner or valid licensee of the Customer Content and each element thereof, and Customer has secured all necessary licenses, consents, permissions, waivers and releases for the use of the Customer Content and each element thereof without any obligation by ACNT to pay any fees, residuals, guild payments or other compensation of any kind to any Person; (b) use, publication and display of the Customer Content will not infringe any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary or intellectual property right of any Person, or constitute a defamation, invasion of privacy or violation of any right of publicity or any other right of any Person, including, without limitation, any contractual, statutory or common law right or any "moral right" or similar right however denominated; (c) Customer is and will remain in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding the Customer Content and the Customer Website, and will use the Customer Website only for lawful purposes; and (d) Customer has used its best efforts to ensure that the Customer Content is and will at all times remain free of all computer viruses, worms, Trojans and other malicious code.

8. License to ACNT. Customer grants to ACNT a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right and license during the term of this Agreement to do the following (but only in connection with the hosting of the Customer Website in accordance with this Agreement): (a) digitize, convert, install, upload, select, order, arrange, compile, combine, synchronize, use, reproduce, store, process, retrieve, transmit, distribute, publish, publicly display, publicly perform and hyperlink the Customer Content; and (b) make archival or back-up copies of the Customer Content and the Customer Website (provided, however, that ACNT shall not be obligated to make any such back-up or archival copies).

Unsolicited e-mail using machines controlled by ACNT or unsolicited e-mail to advertise web pages hosted at ACNT (even if messages are sent via other e-mail providers) are unacceptable. Advertising, marketing, or selling software products for the purpose of spamming (even if Customer is not engaged in spamming) are reasons for discontinuation of service.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Customer shall promptly return to ACNT all such confidential information of ACNT (including all copies thereof) in Customer's possession or control.

Customer's confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Section 15 shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely thereafter, except that such obligations shall expire two years after the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement with respect to any information of ACNT that does not constitute a trade secret under applicable law.

16. Miscellaneous.

D: Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and this Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby. In case of a conflict between this Agreement and any purchase order, service order, correspondence or other communication of Customer, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment or change to this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties.

E: Severability. All rights and restrictions contained in this Agreement may be exercised and shall be applicable and binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are intended to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement illegal, invalid or unenforceable. If any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions or portions thereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining provisions or portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.

Either party may change its address or facsimile number for purposes of this Agreement by notice in writing to the other party as provided herein.

G: Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy by any party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

J: Force Majeure.
