By subscribing to any of the hosting products offered on the Supplier’s website, or custom offer, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that they have read, understood, and accepted the terms of this Agreement on behalf of their company. The Subscriber further represents and warrants that they have the authority to bind their company to this Agreement. The parties therefore agree as follows:

Engagement; Services. Block 81 shall provide website hosting services as described on the HostingStudio's hosting webpage ("Website Hosting Plan”).
Price; Payment.
1. Client is required to prepay the Charges to the Studio based on the billing cycle of the chosen hosting product, which, as detailed on the Studio's website, will occur monthly.
2. The Client may pay the Charges online through the Studio's website.
3. If the Client fails to pay any Charges when due, the Studio may suspend the provision of the Services until payment is made.
4. Block 81 may change prices annually. However, increases in fees during a Renewal Term (as defined below) are limited to a 10% increase over the rates during the immediately preceding 2 months. Block 81 shall provide Client with at least 60 days' notice before the price change will take effect (the "Price Change Notice Period"). If Client rejects the price change in writing during the Price Change Notice Period, this agreement will automatically terminate at the end of the term in which the Price Change Notice Period expires.
Term; Termination.
1. Term. This agreement will become effective as described in section 21 and continue on a monthly basis. Unless either party gives written notice to the other at least 15 days before the end of the Term, this agreement will renew automatically for an additional month (each a "Renewal Term"). This automatic extension will continue to apply at the end of each Renewal Term until the agreement is terminated.
2. Termination Procedures. This agreement may be terminated:
  1. by either party, on provision of 15 days' written notice before the end of a Term;
  2. by either party for a material breach of any provision of this agreement by the other party, if the other party's material breach is not cured within 30 days of receipt of written notice;
  3. by Client, immediately on written notice to Block 81, if there is less than 99% uptime in any Services during any one-month period (excluding scheduled maintenance).
3. Effects of Termination. After the termination of this agreement:
  1. Block 81 shall export and return any content then in its possession to Client at Client's expense, and Block 81 shall delete that content from Block 81's servers and data storage devices, unless Client notifies Block 81 in writing no more than 30 days after the termination of this agreement, of its desire to maintain the content on Block 81's equipment. If Block 81 maintains this content, Block 81 shall make the content reasonably available to Client and Client shall pay Block 81's customary rates for these services and reimburse Block 81 for the cost of making the content available; and
  2. Client shall promptly pay Block 81 according to the terms of Exhibit A for Services rendered before the effective date of the termination.
Customer Service. Block 81 shall consult with Client via e-mail about how to use the system on the terms set forth in this Agreement, but will not assist with any services not maintained or controlled by Block 81 as part of this Agreement. Third-party applications may be supported but will be scoped and billed separately.
Security; Backups.
1. Security. Block 81 shall locate all content on secure servers with limited access and required access authentication. Block 81 shall handle all content in accordance with industry best practices and the terms of this agreement.
2. Backups. If Client requests, Block 81 shall restore content to Client using Block 81's data backups. Block 81 shall maintain a copy of the past 5 days of all content.
Content.
1. Content. Client represents that it is the owner or valid licensee of all data or content it will upload in connection with the Services (collectively, the "Content") and that it has secured all necessary licenses, consents, permissions, waivers, and releases for the use of the Content.
2. Block 81 may use the intellectual property of Client to do the following, to the extent necessary to perform the Services:
  1. digitize, convert, install, upload, select, order, arrange, compile and synchronize, use, reproduce, store, process, retrieve, transmit, and hyperlink the Content; and
  2. make archival or backup copies of the Content.
Confidential Information.
1. Definition. "Confidential Information" means this agreement and all nonpublic information of Client, in whatever form, pertaining to the business of Client, including information relating to Client's finances, customer records, and information, and all associated documentation and materials that Client designates as being confidential when disclosing it to Block 81 or that, under the circumstances of disclosure, ought to be treated as confidential by Block 81. Confidential Information also includes any information relating to Client's parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates. Confidential Information does not include information or data that is:
  1. known to Block 81 before its disclosure by Client without an obligation of confidentiality under another agreement;
  2. independently developed by Block 81 without use of any Confidential Information;
  3. in the public domain when Block 81 seeks to disclose or make use of it, other than as a result of disclosure by Block 81; or
  4. received by Block 81 from a third party with a legal or contractual right to disclose that information or data.
2. Disclosure. Block 81 shall not use or disclose the Confidential Information of Client except in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations under this agreement. Block 81 shall not disclose Confidential Information of Client to any person other than its employees, agents, or independent contractors who have a need to know it in connection with this agreement, and who are under obligations of confidentiality substantially similar to this section. Block 81 shall protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of Client in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information, but in any case with reasonable care. All Confidential Information made available under this agreement, including copies, shall be returned or destroyed by Block 81, and certified as having been returned or destroyed, promptly after the termination of this agreement.
3. Exceptions. Block 81 will not be in violation of this section if it discloses Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed because of a valid order by a court or other governmental body or by applicable law or by the rules of any nationally recognized stock exchange. However, under these circumstances, Block 81 shall notify Client in writing of that disclosure to permit Client to seek confidential treatment of that information.
Nature of Relationship. The relationship of the parties under this agreement is one of independent contractors, and no joint venture, partnership, agency, employer-employee, or similar relationship is created in or by this agreement. Neither party may assume or create obligations on the other party's behalf, and neither party may take any action that creates the appearance of such authority.
No Conflict of Interest; Other Activities. During the Term, Block 81 may engage in other website hosting activities, except that Block 81 may not accept work, enter into contracts, or accept obligations inconsistent or incompatible with Block 81's obligations or the scope of Services to be rendered for Client under this agreement.

Client further represents to Block 81 that its domain names or URL listings do not infringe, dilute, or otherwise violate third-party rights or trademarks.
