Service, please contact Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd.
1. Services.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and
contingent on Customer's satisfaction of
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's credit approval requirements,
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd agrees to provide the web hosting
services described in the Order for the fees stated
in the Order.
2. Term.
The initial service term of the Agreement shall
begin on the date that Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd generates an
e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation
of the Customer's account (the "Service
Commencement Date") and shall continue for
the number of months stated in the Order (the "Initial
Term"). Upon expiration of the Initial
Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for
up to three successive renewal terms of the same
length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal
Term") unless Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd or Customer
provides the other with written notice of
non-renewal at least seven (7) days prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or then-current
Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and
any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in
this Agreement as the "Term."
3. Payments.
(a) Fees. Fees are payable in
advance on the first day of each billing cycle.
Customer's billing cycle shall be monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or
annually as indicated on the Order, beginning on the
Service Commencement Date. Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd may require
payment for the first billing cycle before beginning
service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card
billing, Customer authorises Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd to raise invoices for
subsequent fees 10 days
before the successive billing cycle
due date during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd will invoice Customer via electronic mail
to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order.
Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1st day
of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due on
the 10th day following invoice date, but in no event
earlier than the first day of each billing cycle.
(b) Credit/debit Card Payments
By using a credit/debit card to pay for your goods or services, you confirm that the card being used is yours. Customer acknowledges and that Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd will not store the customers card details as no automated attempts to debit the customers card will be made. Customer is responsible for ensuring all card payments are made in time before the due date. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer and we are not obliged to inform you of the reason for any refusal. We are not responsible for your card issuer or bank charging you as a result of our processing of your credit/debit card payment in accordance with your instruction, whether payment is successful or not. We cannot be responsible for any losses you may incur in transmitting information to Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd by internet link or by e-mail. Any such loss shall not be borne, either wholly or in part, by Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd, and shall be entirely your responsibility.
Payments must be made in Pounds Sterling. Customer is responsible for
providing Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd with changes to billing information.
Including but not limited to, credit card expiration, change in billing address or any other
details required to successfully authorise payment from the payment card. Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd
may suspend the service without notice if payment
for the service is overdue. Fees not disputed within
10 days of due date are conclusively deemed
accurate. Customer agrees to pay Galaxy
Web Solutions Ltd's reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts,
including collection agency fees, legal fees and
court costs.
(b) Fee Increases. Galaxy
Web Solutions Ltd may
increase its fees for services effective the first
day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer
of the new fees at least forty five (45) days prior
to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if
Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as
provided in Section 2 above, the Customer
shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for
that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms
(unless the fees are increased in the same manner
for a subsequent Renewal Term).
(c) Taxes. At Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's request
Customer shall remit to Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd all sales, VAT or
similar tax imposed on the provision of the services
(but not in the nature of an income tax on
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd), regardless of whether Galaxy
Web Solutions Ltd fails
to collect the tax at the time the related services
are provided.
(d) Early Termination.
Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for
the service is based on Customer's agreement to pay
the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal
Term, as applicable. In the event Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd
terminates the Agreement for Customer's breach of
the Agreement in accordance with Section 9
(Termination), or Customer terminates the service
other than in accordance with Section 9
(Termination) for Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's breach, the unpaid
fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial
Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable,
are due on the business day following termination of
the Agreement.
4. Law/AUP.
Customer agrees to use the service in compliance
with applicable law and Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's Acceptable Use
Policy posted at http://www.galaxywebsolutions.com/aup.php
(the "AUP"), which is hereby incorporated by
reference in this Agreement. Customer agrees that
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd may, in its reasonable commercial
judgment consistent with industry standards, amend
the AUP from time to time to further detail or
describe reasonable restrictions and conditions on
Customer's use of the Services. Amendments to the
AUP are effective on the earlier of Galaxy
Web Solutions Ltd's
notice to Customer that an amendment has been made,
or the first day of any Renewal Term that begins
subsequent to the amendment. Customer agrees to
cooperate with Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's reasonable investigation
of any suspected violation of the AUP. In the event
of a dispute between Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd and Customer
regarding the interpretation of the AUP,
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's commercially reasonable interpretation
of the AUP shall govern.
5. Customer Information.
Customer represents and warrants to Galaxy
Web Solutions Ltd that
the information he, she or it has provided and will
provide to Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd for purposes of establishing
and maintaining the service is accurate. If Customer
is an individual, Customer represents and warrants
to Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd that he or she is at least 18 years of
age. Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd may rely on the instructions of the
person listed as the Primary Customer Contact on the
Order with regard to Customer's account until
Customer has provided a written notice changing the
Primary Customer Contract.
6. Indemnification.
Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd, Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's affiliates, and each of
their respective officers, directors, agents, and
employees from and against any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, punitive damages, amounts in
interest, expenses and disbursements of any kind and
nature whatsoever (including reasonable legal
fees) brought by a third party under any theory of
legal liability arising out of or related to the
actual or alleged use of Customer's services in
violation of applicable law or the AUP by Customer
or any person using Customer's log on information,
regardless of whether such person has been
authorised to use the services by Customer.
7. Disclaimer of
Warranties.
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd does not warrant or represent that the
services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or
completely secure. To the extent permitted by
applicable law Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd disclaims any and all
warranties including the implied warranties of
merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
and non-infringement. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, all services are provided on an "as
is" basis.
8. Limitation of
Damages.
Neither party shall be liable to the other for any
lost profits, or any indirect, special, incidental,
consequential or punitive loss or damage of any
kind, or for damages that could have been avoided by
the use of reasonable diligence, arising in
connection with the agreement, even if the party has
been advised or should be aware of the possibility
of such damages.
Notwithstanding anything else in the agreement to
the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd and any of its employees, agents or
affiliates, under any theory of law (including
breach of contract, tort, strict liability, and
infringement) shall be a payment of money not to
exceed the amount payable by customer for three
months of service.
9.

16. Miscellaneous.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other
party retains exclusive ownership and rights in its
trademarks, service marks, trade secrets,
inventions, copyrights, and other intellectual
property. Neither party may use the other party's
name or trade mark without the other party's prior
written consent. The parties intend for their
relationship to be that of independent contractors
and not a partnership, joint venture, or
employer/employee. Neither party will represent
itself to be agent of the other. Each party
acknowledges that it has no power or authority to
bind the other on any agreement and that it will not
represent to any person that it has such power or
authority. This Agreement may be amended only by a
formal written agreement signed by both parties. The
terms on Customer's purchase order or other business
forms are not binding on Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd unless they are
expressly incorporated into a formal written
agreement signed by both parties. A party's failure
or delay in enforcing any provision of the Agreement
will not be deemed a waiver of that party's rights
with respect to that provision or any other
provision of the Agreement. A party's waiver of any
of its right under the Agreement is not a waiver of
any of its other rights with respect to a prior,
contemporaneous or future occurrence, whether
similar in nature or not. The captions in the
Agreement are not part of the Agreement, but are for
the convenience of the parties. The following
provisions will survive expiration or termination of
the Agreement: Fees, indemnity obligations,
provisions limiting liability and disclaiming
warranties, provisions regarding ownership of
intellectual property, these miscellaneous
provisions, and other provisions that by their
nature are intended to survive termination of the
Agreement. There are no third party beneficiaries to
the Agreement. Neither insurers nor the customers of
resellers are third party beneficiaries to the
Agreement. Customer may not transfer the Agreement
without Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's prior written consent.
Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's approval for assignment is contingent
on the assignee meeting Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd's credit approval
criteria. Galaxy Web Solutions Ltd may assign the Agreement in
whole or in part.
This agreement together with the AUP constitutes the
complete and exclusive agreement between the parties
regarding its subject matter and super cedes and
replaces any prior understanding or communication,
written or oral.
