CyberNet NationWide Internet Services (CNNW) provides its Internet services, as they may exist from time to time (Services), to users who pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Services (Members) as well as to those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts (Visitors). By establishing an account or using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Services in compliance with this Agreement, CNNW's Acceptable Use Policy, and other policies that may apply by utilizing any service provided by CNNW or its upstream network providers.

By accessing and using the Domain Hosting, co-location and electronic commerce services and associated software of CNNW, you (Customer) indicate the acceptance of the following terms and conditions and you agree to be bound by them. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE CNNW Domain Hosting AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE SERVICES or associated software and promptly return any materials distributed directly by CNNW.

2. The Agreement

This agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and CNNW with respect to the CNNW Domain Hosting and electronic commerce services and associated software and SUPERSEDES ANY PROPOSAL OR PRIOR AGREEMENT, oral or written, and any other communications relating to the subject matter of this agreement.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, CNNW and Customer agree as follows:

• All orders are subject to acceptance by CNNW. An order will be deemed accepted by CNNW when CNNW sends written confirmation of the order to Customer.
• CNNW shall charge Customer's credit card for the applicable set-up fees and monthly fees according to the Package(s) (as defined on our webpage) selected by Customer and provided by CNNW. Such fees and charges shall include, without limitation, the fees for connectivity, design services, and charges by any and all third parties whose materials are included as part of the Package(s). CNNW reserves the right to change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges and institute new fees and charges upon prior notice to Customer.
  
  Customer may elect to pay by either check or credit card. If by credit card Customer must provide CNNW with a credit card authorization form and valid credit card number to which CNNW will automatically charge all CNNW fees as they become due. All monthly fees and set-up fees shall be due in advance of the month incurred and all additional charges shall be due at the end of the month in which such charges are incurred.
  
  Except as provided in Section 3, the set-up fees are nonrefundable and CNNW does not issue pro rata refunds for fees paid in advance. If payment by Customer's credit card is denied, or Customer's charge is returned to CNNW for any reason, including charge back or Customer otherwise fails to make any payments owing to CNNW, CNNW may, at CNNW's discretion, suspend or terminate access to the CNNW Services and/or terminate this Agreement.
  
  Customer's rights to use the CNNW Services are subject to any limits established by CNNW or by the issuer of Customer's credit card. Interest charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law if lower than 1.5% per month) will accrue daily on any unpaid balance, which is more than thirty (30) days overdue. Customer shall be responsible for any and all taxes related to this Agreement.

3. CNNW Services

During the term of this Agreement, CNNW may provide software services to Customer depending on the Package(s) accepted by Customer. "Package" means one of CNNW business and/or electronic commerce service offerings, as can be found on CNNW's Web site at www.cnnw.net. The specific Package to be provided to Customer shall be established by correspondence between CNNW and Customer. Such Package(s) shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, as if fully set forth herein. CNNW and Customer shall retain copies of such Package(s) for future reference.

At Customer's request, CNNW will acquire an Internet Second-Level Domain Name from the Contracted Registrar on behalf of Customer. Customer's request for and/or acceptance of a Domain Name obtained by CNNW shall in all cases constitute Customer's waiver of any and all claims which Customer may have, or which may later arise, against CNNW or its third party providers, for any and all damages, losses, claims or expenses arising or related to the acquisition, registration and/or use of the Domain Name. Any cost incurred by CNNW to obtain and/or maintain the Domain Name on behalf of Customer shall be charged to Customer. Request for and acceptance of a domain name requires CNNW to supply the domain name to the Contracted Registrar, which in turns supplies the Domain Name to third parties.

4. Limited 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

CNNW offers a thirty (30) day money back guarantee on each Package(s). If Customer is not completely satisfied with the CNNW Services provided under such Package(s) within the first thirty (30) days, Customer may cancel this Agreement by notifying CNNW by following the contact information listed in Section 8. In such case, Customer will receive a full refund of any amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement, except for set-up fees, which are nonrefundable. After the initial thirty (30) day period, the CNNW Services shall be deemed accepted for all purposes, provided no written claim has been received by CNNW within such thirty (30) day period.
