7. Failure to Comply With Agreement.
Carlc may deny Customer access to and cease to provide all or part of any Services without notice if Customer (a) violates any provision of Carlc's Internet Acceptable Use Policies, which are appended to these General Terms and Conditions (and which may be modified from time to time as provided in the Policy or by delivery of such modified Internet Policies to Customer); or (b) engages in any conduct or activity that Carlc, in it's sole discretion, believes violates any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or causes a risk that Carlc may be subjected to civil or criminal litigation, charges, or damages.

Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Carlc and it's affiliates harmless from any and all liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, related to or arising from: (a) any breach of this Agreement by Customer or Authorized Users; (b) the use of the Services or the Internet or the placement or transmission of any message, information, software or other materials on the Internet by Customer or Authorized Users; (c) acts or omissions of Customer, Customer's officers, employees, agents or contractors in connection with the construction, installation, maintenance, presence, use or removal of systems, channels or terminal equipment or software not provided by Carlc which are connected or are to be connected to the Services; and (d) claims for infringement of patents or any intellectual property right arising from the use of any Services, equipment and software, apparatus and systems not provided by Carlc in connection with any Services.

9. Arbitration.
9.01 Any dispute in connection with this Agreement which is not settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties within thirty (30) days from the date that either party informs the other in writing that such dispute or disagreement exists, shall be settled by arbitration in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect on the date that such notice is given. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall include written findings of law and fact, and judgment may be obtained thereon by either party in a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear the cost of preparing and presenting its own case. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s), shall be shared equally by the parties hereto unless the award otherwise provides. The obligation herein to arbitrate shall not be binding upon any party with respect to requests for preliminary injunctions, temporary restraining orders or other similar temporary procedures in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute.

10. Miscellaneous.
10.01 In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

10.02 Carlc's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement.

10.03 Customer shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Carlc.

10.04 Carlc will not be responsible for performance of its obligations hereunder where delayed or hindered by war, riots, embargoes, strikes or acts of its vendors, suppliers, or workmen (whether of Carlc or others), accidents, acts of God, or any other event beyond its reasonable control.

10.05 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to any provisions thereof which would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction to this Agreement. Any cause of action Customer may have with respect to the Service must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred.

10.06 This Agreement, including the Addendums hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and Carlc with respect to the Services.

10.07 Customer agrees that Carlc has the right and responsibility to fully cooperate regarding any aspect of Carlc's services, including services sold to the client. Any use or attempted use of Carlc's system to engage in software piracy or other illegal activities will result in an immediate termination of service and a report to the FTP, SPA, or other appropriate authorities.

10.08 Customer agrees to indemnify and hold Carlc harmless in connection with any controversy or legal action arising from the customer's use of Carlc's service, including but not limited to controversies over domain name selection and web site content.

10.09 Although Carlc backs up it's systems regularly and works to prevent technical problems, system failures, and service disruptions, such occurrences are possible, particularly in connection with such things as total power losses, natural calamities, acts of war or terrorism, acts of god, destructive acts of hackers, or bandwidth changes on the Internet. Carlc's system backup is therefore not guaranteed and each customer therefore agrees to maintain a backup copy of his or her web site and any other important information and to store the same on customer's own computer. Customer further agrees that Carlc's liability for any failure to provide virtual hosting service regardless of cause or duration shall be limited to a refund of the fees paid for the month in which the failures occur. It is specifically agreed that Carlc shall under no circumstances be liable for any lost profits or other consequential damages.

10.10 Relationship of the Parties. The parties intend that an independent contractor relationship will be created by this contract, and that no partnership, joint venture or employee/employer relationship is intended. 

10.11 Taxes. If any federal, state or local governmental entity with taxing authority over the services provided under this Agreement imposes a tax directly on the services provided by Carlc to Client under this Agreement (excluding any income, business and occupation, capital gain, death or inheritance, or other indirect taxes), then Carlc may pass the direct amount of such cost on to Customer, and Customer shall promptly pay such cost.
