  • Your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail by using a closed-loop confirmed opt-in (COI) procedure. This involves sending the recipient a confirmation e-mail which they must respond to in order to 'opt-in'.
  • You retain evidence of the recipient's COI consent in a form that may be promptly produced on request, and you honor recipient's and Globalcon.net's requests to produce consent evidence within 24 hours of receipt of the request.
  • The body of the e-mail must explicitly describe how the e-mail address was obtained, the website where the customer opted in, and information on how to request evidence of the consent.
  • You have procedures in place that allow a recipient to easily revoke their consent and those instructions are clearly placed in the e-mail. Revocations of consent are honored within 12 hours, and you notify recipients that their revocation of their consent will be honored within 12 hours.
  • You must post an 'abuse@yourdoman.com' e-mail address on the first page of any Web site associated with the e-mail. You must register that address at abuse.net, and you must promptly respond to messages sent to that address.

TERMS
The Initial Term of this Agreement shall be one year, unless noted in the signed agreement. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice. The term for individual Product/Service orders shall be as set forth in the relevant Attachment or Service Order ("Product/Service Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Product/Service Term is greater than the Term of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall remain in effect until the expiration or termination of such Product/Service Term.

RATES AND PAYMENTS
Recurring Product/Service charges shall be invoiced monthly in advance (prorated for any partial month), except for those that are dependent upon usage of a Product/Service. Customer is responsible for all Non-Recurring Charges when billed, and all Recurring Charges from and after the Service Date (as set forth in the applicable Attachment or Service Order). Customer may receive its invoice in paper format, electronic format, or electronic and paper format. All amounts owed by Customer are due and payable upon receipt of Globalcon.net's invoice, to the address set forth in such invoice, and shall be past due fifteen (15) days after the date printed on the invoice. A late charge shall be added to Customer's past due balance equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Additionally, if Globalcon.net shall receive less than its invoiced amount due to a returned check, bank charges, transfer fees, or the like, Customer shall be subject to a processing charge, as applicable, as well as the late charge set forth herein. If Customer disputes any portion of a Globalcon.net bill, Customer must timely pay the undisputed portion of the bill and submit a written statement regarding the disputed amount, setting forth the particulars thereof. All disputes must be submitted to Globalcon.net within ten (10) days of the date printed on the invoice giving rise to the dispute.

These rate are subject to increase: space, power, and bandwidth. Should the rate increase, we may have to pass this increase to the Customer.

DELINQUENCY
If the Customer is delinquent in its payment, Globalcon.net may modify payment terms to require full payment before the further provision of any services or require other assurances to secure Customer's payment obligations. To secure the payment that is due, Customer hereby grants to Globalcon.net a continuing security interest in and lien upon the equipment and furnish financial information to Globalcon.net when requested. In the event that Customers fails to pay Globalcon.net all amounts owed to Globalcon.net when due, Customer agrees that Globalcon.net may (a) restrict Customer's physical access to the space and Customer's equipment and/or (b) take hold/possession of the Customer's equipment and store it at Customer's expense and exercise all remedies available under applicable law, all without being liable for prosecution or damages. The equipment being hold by Globalcon.net due to delinquency does not automatically qualify as payment.

CREDIT/DEPOSIT
Delivery of Products/Services is subject to credit approval. Globalcon.net may require Customer to make a cash deposit at any time, as Globalcon.net deems reasonably necessary to protect its interests, if Customer is in default under this Agreement, has made late or incomplete payments for a period of two (2) consecutive months, has exceeded the pre-defined credit limit or has significantly expanded the Products/Services provided by Globalcon.net. If such cash deposit is required, Customer shall pay such deposit to Globalcon.net within fifteen (15) days of notice from Globalcon.net to Customer. The amount of the deposit will be credited to Customer's account when this Agreement expires or is terminated, and any remaining balance will be refunded to the Customer.

TAXES
Globalcon.net's bill shall separately identify any excise, sales, use, or other taxes, or any other governmental/municipal fees and charges applicable to Globalcon.net's provision of Products/Services to Customer, and all such taxes and fees, however designated (excepting those based on Globalcon.net's net income), shall be paid by Customer in addition to any other amount owing. If Customer first provides Globalcon.net with a valid tax exemption certificate, Globalcon.net will not collect any taxes covered by such exemption.

EQUIPMENT
Globalcon.net shall retain title to all of its equipment and facilities used to provide Products/Services under this Agreement. Customer shall be liable for damages to any Globalcon.net equipment, facility, or system caused by: (a) negligent or willful acts or omissions of Customer or any agent, employee, or End User of Customer; or (b) malfunction or failure of any equipment or facility provided by Customer or its agents, employees, End Users or suppliers. Customer shall also be liable for the theft of Globalcon.net's equipment or facilities located on Customer's or its End User's premises. Customer shall not allow any facility or equipment of Globalcon.net to be rearranged, removed, disconnected, or repaired without Globalcon.net's prior written consent, nor will Customer permit any liens or encumbrances to be placed on Globalcon.net equipment or facilities.

TERMINATION
Customer shall be in default of this Agreement, and Globalcon.net may terminate this Agreement or suspend Products/Services hereunder upon: (a) any failure of Customer to pay any undisputed amounts as provided in this Agreement, including payment of any deposit, which failure continues for more than ten (10) days after written notification to Customer; (b) any breach by Customer of a material provision of this Agreement which breach continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notification to Customer; (c) any insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or similar event with respect to Customer; or (d) any violation by Customer of an applicable law or governmental regulation.

Cancellation or termination is in addition to any and all other remedies provided for in the Agreement and available at law and in equity.

TERMINATION LIABILITY
If Products/Services are cancelled or terminated before expiration of the relevant Product/Service Term by Customer for any reason other than an event of default by Globalcon.net or a permitted termination pursuant to "Regulatory Compliance" below, or by Globalcon.net for a Customer default, Customer agrees to pay Globalcon.net the following sums, which shall become due and owing as of the effective date of termination and be payable within thirty (30) days thereafter: (a) all unpaid Non Recurring Charges for cancelled or terminated Products/Services; (b) all unpaid Recurring Charges for cancelled or terminated Products/Services provided before the date of termination; (c) all Recurring Charges for cancelled or terminated Products/Services through the initial twelve (12) months of the relevant Product/Service Term, (d) fifty percent (50%) of all Recurring Charges for cancelled or terminated Products/Services from the thirteenth (13th) month of the relevant Product/Service Term through the balance of the relevant Product/Service Term, and (e) any termination liabilities imposed by an underlying service provider for any associated local loops coordinated by Globalcon.net. This paragraph constitutes a reasonable estimate of damages that would be impossible to calculate in the event of early termination, and is not intended as a penalty.
