products and services on the other hand. In this Agreement "You"
and "Your" refer to you or any agent, employee, servant or person
authorized to act on your behalf. "We", "Us" and "Our" refer to
VRP Media LLC, as well as its subsidiaries and sister companies
(collectively, " VRP Media"). This Agreement explains our
obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for
various services offered by VRP Media. When you use your account
or permit someone else to use it to purchase or otherwise acquire
access to additional VRP Media service(s) or products or to
cancel your VRP Media services (even if we were not notified of
such authorization), this Agreement covers such service or
actions.
1. Term of Agreement; Modification. You agree that VRP Media may
modify this Agreement and the services it offers to You from time
to time. You agree to be bound by any changes VRP Media may

of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long
as You take advantage of and use the products or services.
2. Accurate Information. You agree to maintain accurate
information by providing updates to VRP Media, as needed, while
You are using VRP Media’s products and services. You agree You
will notify VRP Media within five (5) business days when any
change of the information You provided as part of the application
and/or registration process changes. Failure by You, for whatever
reason, to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries
made by VRP Media to determine the validity of information
provided by You will constitute a material breach of this
Agreement. If You provide any information that is inaccurate, not
current, false, misleading or incomplete, or if VRP Media has
reasonable grounds to suspect that Your information is
inaccurate, not current, false, misleading or incomplete, VRP
Media has the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to
terminate its Services and close Your account.
3. Privacy. You can view VRP Media’s
Privacy
Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference, as it is
applicable to all VRP Media’s products and services. The Privacy
Policy sets out Your rights and VRP Media’s responsibilities with
regard to Your personal information. VRP Media will not use Your
information in any way inconsistent with the purposes and
limitations provided in the Privacy Policy.
4. Prohibited Activities:
5. Storage and Security. At all times, You shall bear full risk
of loss and damage to Your server and all of Your server content.
You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of Your password and account information. You acknowledge and
agree that You are solely responsible for all acts, omissions and
use under and charges incurred with Your account or password or
in connection with the server or any of Your server content
displayed, linked, transmitted through or stored on the server.
You shall be solely responsible for undertaking measures to: (i)
prevent any loss or damage to Your server content; (ii) maintain
independent archival and backup copies of Your server content;
(iii) ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of Your
server content transmitted through or stored on VRP Media
servers; and (iv) ensure the confidentiality of Your password.
VRP Media's servers are not an archive and VRP Media shall have
no liability to You or any other person for loss, damage or
destruction of any of Your content. The services offered by VRP
Media are not intended to provide a PCI (Payment Card Industry)
compliant environment and therefore should not be utilized as
such without further compliance activity. VRP Media shall have no
liability to You or any other person for Your use of VRP Media
products and/or services in violation of these terms.
6. Non-exclusive License. If You have licensed software from VRP
Media, VRP Media grants You a limited, non-exclusive,
nontransferable and non-assignable license to use the software
for such purposes as are ordinary and customary. You are free to
use the software on any computer, but not on two or more
computers at one time. You agree to not alter or modify the
software. You agree You are not authorized to combine the
software with any other software program, create derivative works
based upon the software, nor are You authorized to integrate any
plug-in or enhancement which uses or relies upon the software.
You further agree not to reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise
attempt to uncover the source code.
VRP Media reserves all rights to the software. The software and any copies You are authorized to make are the intellectual property of VRP Media. The source code and its organization are the exclusive property of VRP Media and the software is protected by copyright law. Except as expressly provided for in this section, this Agreement does not grant You any rights in the software and all rights are reserved by VRP Media. Any such software and services are provided to You "as is" without warranty of any kind either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
7. VRP Media Account. VRP Media will host an account for You
corresponding with the purchased, leased or provided domain
name(s) and for the period of time corresponding with the payment
plan chosen by You. The contract will automatically renew at the
end of The Term unless otherwise specified by You. Once the
account cancellation request is received and we process the
request as per the account holders consent, the agreement between
You and VRP Media is officially terminated. We reserve the right
to remove the account from the web server at any time thereafter.
VRP Media will NOT host the site for any time period left once
the cancellation request has been received and processed. It is
Your responsibility to make sure that You and Your respective
clients have access to all their files and relevant data before
initiating the cancellation request. VRP Media shall not be
responsible for any loss of data once the account recurring
billing has been cancelled.
8. Legal Purposes. The web hosting and reseller hosting account
and/or related electronic services can only be used for legal
purposes under all applicable international, federal, provincial,
and municipal laws. The intent of VRP Media is to provide space
to serve web documents, not as an off- site storage area for
electronic files and is governed by our Disk Usage Provision, set
out in Section 10 of the Acceptable Use Policy. Violations of
these or any other provisions of this Agreement may result in
termination of the services provided by VRP Media, with or
without the grant of a notice or cure period, such notice or cure
period to be granted at the sole discretion of VRP Media based
upon the severity of the violation. VRP Media reserves the right
to refuse service if any of the content within, or any links
from, the Account Holder's website is deemed illegal, misleading,
or obscene, or is otherwise in breach of VRP Media then current
Acceptable Use Policy, in the sole and absolute opinion of VRP
Media.
9. Rates and Prices. You acknowledge that the nature of the
service furnished and the rates and charges have been
communicated to You. You are aware that VRP Media reserves the
right to change the specified rates and charges from time to
time.
10. Account Use. You agree to follow generally accepted rules of
"Netiquette" when sending e-mail messages or posting to
newsgroups. You are responsible for security of your password.
VRP Media will not change passwords to any account without proof
of identification, which is satisfactory to VRP Media, which may
include written authorization with signature. In the event of any
partnership break-up, divorce or other legal problems that
includes You, You understand that VRP Media will remain neutral
and may put the account on hold until the situation has been
resolved. Under no circumstances will VRP Media be liable for any
losses incurred by You during this time of determination of
ownership, or otherwise. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless
VRP Media from any and all claims arising from such ownership
disputes.
11. Safe Use. You agree not to harm VRP Media, its reputation,
computer systems, programming and/or other persons using
VRPMedia.com's services. VRPMedia.com reserves the right to
select the server for Account Holder's website for best
performance. You understand that the services provided by VRP
Media are provided on a shared server. In order to keep our
servers running at optimal levels, any sites running a process
that requires more than 8MB of memory, more than 30 CPU seconds,
or uses more than 10% of all available system resources at any
time will be required to move up to an Intense Hosting or
dedicated solution, or to be hosted elsewhere. This upgrade may
result in an automatic upgrade to a higher-level pricing plan
corresponding with the elevated use requirements. Alternatively,
VRP Media reserves the right to suspend services on that specific
account until the higher usage may be accommodated. A failure by
You to agree to and comply with the terms of this provision may
result in the termination of the services provided to You without
any refunds of the unused prepaid portion of the fees.
12. Third Party Content. If You elect to sell or resell
advertising or web space to a third party then You will be
responsible for the contents of that advertising and the actions
of that third party. VRP Media has the absolute right to reject
any advertising or other third party content that is illegal,
offensive or otherwise in breach of the then current VRP Media
policy or agreement. Such content may result in the suspension or
in the immediate termination of Your account. You are responsible
for monitoring all domain transfers, renewal and orders. In the
event that an error occurs the account holder must notify VRP
Media immediately of the error. In no event shall
WebHostingBuzz.com be liable to the Account Holder for any
damages resulting from or related to any failure or delay of
domain registration, transfer or renewal.
13. Domain Lease. VRP Media’s 'Free Domain for Life' service
offers You a free domain name for the active life of the web
hosting or reseller account. The domain name is registered under
WebHostingBuzz's name, owned by WebHostingBuzz, is the property
of WebHostingBuzz, and is managed by WebHostingBuzz on Your
behalf. WebHostingBuzz employs privacy protection services
provided by WhoisGuard on all domain names. WebHostingBuzz may
substitute the client's information into the whois database upon
client request.
In the event of cancellation of the hosting account You will have the option of transferring the domain name to an alternative domain registrar for a onetime fee of $15 US dollars. Important: We cannot register domain names with the ".co.uk" extension for You but can host them. We can only register 3 new domain names (including the principal domain, where applicable) for you over the course of 3 months for budget hosting plans. Similarly a maximum of 5 new domain registrations per month are allowed under the reseller hosting plans. These rules are in place to prevent the abuse of our free domain registration offer. Please email our sales department should you have any confusion regarding this promotional offer.
14. Fees, Payment and Refund. As consideration for the products
and/or services purchased by You and provided to You by VRP
Media, You agree to pay VRP Media at the time You order. All fees
are due immediately and are non-refundable unless otherwise
expressly noted, even if Your services are suspended, terminated,
or transferred prior to the end of the term of service. VRP Media
expressly reserves the right to modify pricing through email
notification and/or notice on its website.
You may receive a refund if Your account is cancelled within the initial 30 days after sign up. If the account holder cancels after the time period specified, there will be no refund given. We will deduct flat 6% administrative fee before initiating the refund. Refunds do NOT apply to dedicated servers, dedicated IP addresses, SSL certificates or domain registration related fees. Important: If the client cancels within the first 30 days and has registered new domain names with us during this time period, VRP Media will charge the client a one time fee of $9.99 per domain name if he/she does not wish to continue with the domain name transfer, at a cost of $15 per transfer. These terms are in place to prevent abuse of our free domain name(s) service.
15. Billing. If You signed up for a monthly payment plan, Your
monthly billing date will be determined based on the day of the
month You purchase the products or services. If that date falls
after the 28th of the month, then Your billing date will be the
28th of each month. If You signed up for an annual (or longer)
payment plan, and You elected the automatic renewal option, VRP
Media will automatically renew Your services when they come up
for renewal and will take payment in accordance with the
designated payment method at VRP Media’s then current rates.
If for any reason VRP Media is unable to charge Your account for the full amount owed VRP Media for the products and/or services provided, or if VRP Media is charged a penalty for any fee it previously charged to You, You agree that VRP Media may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. If You pay by credit card and if for any reason VRP Media is unable to charge Your credit card with the full amount of the services provided, or if VRP Media is charged back for any fee it previously charged to the credit card You provided, You agree that VRP Media may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment. You agree that among the remedies VRP Media may pursue in order to effect payment, shall include but will not be limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to You of any domain names or products and/or services registered or renewed on Your behalf. VRP Media reserves the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular services, including additional costs that it may incur in providing the services and pass these costs along to You.
16. While all purchases are processed in US dollars, VRP Media
may provide an estimated conversion price to currencies other
than US dollars. You acknowledge and agree that the pricing
displayed during the checkout process is an estimate. Due to
potential slight time delays between actual purchase and the
payment settlement, the actual price charged may fluctuate.
Accordingly, VRP Media makes no representations or warranties
that the actual price will be the same or substantially similar
to the actual price You will pay and You waive any and all claims
based upon any discrepancy between the estimate and the actual
price. In addition, you may be charged VAT, based on the country
indicated in Your billing address section. Any amounts to be
charged will appear during the checkout process.
17. Limitation of Liability; Waiver and Release. The services
offered by VRP Media are being provided on an "AS IS" and VRP
Media expressly disclaims any and all warranties, whether express
or implied, including without limitation any implied warranties
of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, to the
fullest extent permitted or authorized by law. Without limitation
of the foregoing, VRP Media expressly does not warrant that the
VRP Media products and/or services will meet Your requirements,
function as intended, or that the use of the provided services
will be uninterrupted or error free. In no event shall VRP Media
be liable for any or all direct, indirect, incidental, special,
exemplary or consequential damages (including, but not limited
to, procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use,
data, or profits; or business interruption) however caused and on
any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability,
or tort (including, but not limited to, negligence or otherwise)
arising in any way out of the use of the services, even if VRP
Media is aware of or has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.
18. Indemnification. Accordingly, You for Yourself and all of
Your heirs, personal representatives, predecessors, successors
and assigns, hereby fully release, remise, and forever discharge
VRP Media and all affiliates of VRP Media, and all officers,
agents, employees, and representatives of VRP Media, and all of
their heirs, personal representatives, predecessors, successors
and assigns, for, from and against any and all claims, liens,
demands, causes of action, controversies, offsets, obligations,
losses, damages and liabilities of every kind and character
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any action omission,
misrepresentation or other basis of liability founded either in
tort or contract and the duties arising there under, whether
known or unknown, relating to or arising out of, or in any way
connected with or resulting from, the products and services and
Your acquisition and use thereof, including, but not limited to,
the provision of the VRP Media products and/or services by VRP
Media and its agents and employees. Further, You agree to defend,
indemnify and hold VRP Media harmless from any loss, liability,
damages or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising
out of any breach of any representation or warranty provided
herein, any negligence or willful misconduct by You, or any
allegation that Your account infringes a third person's
copyright, trademark or proprietary or intellectual property
right, or misappropriates a third person's trade secrets. This
indemnification is in addition to any indemnification required of
You elsewhere. Should VRP Media be notified of a pending law
suit, or receive notice of the filing of a law suit, VRP Media
may seek a written confirmation from You concerning Your
obligation to defend, indemnify VRP Media. Your failure to
provide such a confirmation may be considered a breach of this
agreement. You agree that VRP Media shall have the right to
participate in the defense of any such claim through counsel of
its own choosing. You agree to notify VRP Media of any such claim
promptly in writing and to allow VRP Media to control the
proceedings. You agree to cooperate fully with VRP Media during
such proceedings.

notifying VRP Media should You desire to terminate Your use of
VRP Media's Services. Notification of Your intent to terminate
must be provided to VRP Media no earlier than 10 days prior to
Your billing date but no later than three days prior to Your
billing date.

this Agreement.
22. Final Agreement. This Agreement, together with all
modifications, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement
between you and us, and supersede and govern all prior proposals,
agreements, or other communications. This Agreement may not be
amended or modified by you except by means of a written document
signed by both you and an authorized representative of us.
23. No Agency Relationship. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other
form of joint enterprise between the parties hereto. Each party
shall ensure that the foregoing persons shall not represent to
the contrary, either expressly, implicitly, by appearance or
otherwise.
24. Waiver. The failure of us to require your performance of any
provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such
performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of
a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver
of the provision itself.
25. Enforceability. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable
law or be so held by applicable court decision, such
unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement
unenforceable or invalid as a whole. We will amend or replace
such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which
achieves, to the extent possible, our original objectives and
intent as reflected in the original provision.
26. Assignment and Resale. Except as otherwise set forth herein,
your rights under this Agreement are not assignable or
transferable. Any attempt by your creditors to obtain an interest
in your rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, levy,
garnishment or otherwise, renders this Agreement voidable at our
option. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell
or otherwise exploit for any commercial purposes any of the
Services (or portion thereof) without VRP Media's prior express
written consent.
27. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be deemed in default
hereunder, nor shall it hold the other party responsible for, any

obligations hereunder due to causes beyond its control including,
but not limited to: earthquake; flood; fire; storm; natural
disaster; act of God; war; terrorism; armed conflict; labor
strike; lockout; boycott; supplier failures, shortages, breaches,
or delays; or any law, order regulation, direction, action or

any department, agency, commission, bureau, corporation or other
instrumentality of any federal, state, or local government, or of
any civil or military authority; or any other cause or
circumstance, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature to the
foregoing, beyond the reasonable control of the affected party,
provided that the party relying upon this section (i) shall have
given the other party written notice thereof promptly and, in any
event, within five (5) days of discovery thereof and (ii) shall
take all steps reasonably necessary under the circumstances to
mitigate the effects of the force majeure event upon which such
notice is based; provided further, that in the event a force
majeure event described in this Section extends for a period in
excess of thirty (30) days in the aggregate, VRP Media may
immediately terminate this Agreement.
