SPAMREJECTION.COM SERVICE AND USAGE
1. INTRODUCTION. In this Service Agreement ("Agreement"), "you" and "your" refer to each customer ("Customer") and its agents, including each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account, and "we", "us" and "our" refer collectively to Integrated Data Processing, Inc. ("IDP"). This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us in relation to the IDP service(s) you purchase. By purchasing IDP service(s) you agree to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional IDP service(s) or to modify or cancel your IDP service(s) (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement as amended covers any such service or actions. Additionally, you agree that each person listed in your account information as being associated with your account for any services provided to you (including, but not limited to, domain name registration services) is your agent with full authority to act on your behalf with respect to such services in accordance with the permissions granted, and that the Primary Contact and Account Administrative Contact for your account shall have the authority, without limitation, to terminate, transfer (where transfer is permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services or your account information, or purchase additional services. Any acceptance of your application(s) or requests for our services and the performance of our services will occur at our offices in Fairfax, Virginia, the location of our principal places of business. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, you agree that if you list, directly or by default, IDP as a contact for your account and/or any of the services in your account, we have the right, without notice, to remove our name and/or information from any such account or service and to replace the same with the name and/or information provided by you for any other contact associated with that account or service.
2. FEES, PAYMENT AND TERM OF SERVICE. As consideration for the services you purchased, you agree to pay IDP the applicable service(s) fees set forth herein, or, if applicable, upon receipt of your invoice from IDP. All fees are due immediately and are non-refundable. If you qualify, we may extend payment terms to you. Unless otherwise specified herein or on our Web site, each IDP service is for a one-year initial term and renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process. Any renewal of your services with us is subject to our then current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, successful completion of any applicable authentication procedure, and payment of all applicable service fees at the time of renewal and in the case of domain name re-registration, the domain name registry's acceptance of your domain name registration. Except with respect to service to which you subscribe on a monthly basis, we will endeavor to provide you notice prior to the renewal of your services at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the renewal date. You acknowledge and agree that the renewal price may be higher or lower than the price you paid for the then-current term of the service, and that we are authorized to charge your credit card on file for the renewal of the service(s). In any event, you are solely responsible for the credit card information you provide to IDP and must promptly inform IDP of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number). In addition, you are solely responsible for ensuring the services are renewed. IDP shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal as described herein, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services. In order to process a renewal under our auto-renew service, we may use third-party vendors for the purpose of updating the expiration date of your credit card on file. Such third-party vendors maintain relationships with various credit card issuers and may be able to provide us with the updated expiration date for your credit card by comparing the information we have on file with the information the third-party has on file. By selecting our auto-renew service, you acknowledge and agree that we may share your credit card information with such a third-party vendor for the purpose of obtaining any update to your credit card expiration date. You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes (other than taxes based on IDP income) related to IDP services or payments made by you hereunder. All payments of fees for IDP services shall be made in U.S. dollars. Set up fees, if any, will become payable on the applicable effective date for the applicable IDP services. All sums due and payable that remain unpaid after any applicable cure period herein will accrue interest as a late charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.
