remedy is to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section
3 and discontinue using the Services.
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. If Carlc
ceases to provide or denies Customer access to any Services
pursuant to the preceding sentence, neither Customer nor any
of it's authorized users shall have any right (a) to access
through Carlc any materials stored on the Internet, (b) to obtain
any credit(s) otherwise due to Customer, and such credit(s)
shall be forfeited, or (c) to access third party services, merchandise
or information on the Internet through Carlc. Carlc shall have
no responsibility to notify any third-party providers of services,
merchandise or information of any discontinuance of any Services
pursuant to this paragraph, nor any responsibility for any consequences
resulting from lack of such notification.

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.
