ABOUT WEB HOSTING:

Unlimited Traffic Restrictions:

UNLIMITED TRAFFIC does not apply to any domain account consuming 20% or more of systems resources. Following are a list of sites that will often require more than 20% of our systems resources: Multiple domains residing at a single IP address, domains with archives or galleries, (i.e. .gif, .jpg, .exe, .zip, .tar, etc.), and domain accounts offering download files.

Such restriction does not intend to imply that sites may not contain such files, however if at any time they consume 20% or more of our systems resources, the client will be contacted to resolve the issue.

Unacceptable Activities:

Unacceptable activities include, but are not limited to, the following cases:

(1) Spamming is hereby defined as sending unsolicited advertising to those with which the customer has no existing business relationship, posting off-topic advertising in news groups;
(2) Spoofing is hereby defined as using a return email address which is not the valid reply address of the sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is really sending the message;
(3) Passive spamming is hereby defined as promoting a web site hosted by CorpImages
.net by spamming from some other source;
(4) Trolling is hereby defined as posting controversial messages (for which CorpImages
.net reserves the right to define as needed on a case by case basis) in news groups to generate responses;

Mailing lists may not be used to distribute unsolicited email. The account of any customer of CorpImages.net found to infringe the above guidelines may be terminated at our discretion and without refund.

ABOUT WEB DESIGNING:

Authorization:

The client agrees to engage CorpImages.net as an independent contractor for the specific project of developing and/or improving a World Wide Web site to be installed on the client's web space on an Internet Service Provider's computer, a server owned by CorpImages.net, or their own virtual server in the event the client registers their own domain name.

If the site is to be stored on the client's ISP server, the client hereby authorizes CorpImages.net to access this account. The client also authorizes CorpImages.net to publicize their completed Web site to Web search engines, as well as other Web directories and indexes and to place acknowledgment on the web site that the site was constructed by CorpImages.net.

Web Site Package Inclusions:


The Web site Package Inclusions are specified in the Prices Page.

On-line stores:

Data entry for product web pages, products, or photos added after the store is ready for advertising to the Web search engines will be calculated for actual time spent at the going hourly rate.

Maintenance:

Web page maintenance will be limited to the first year of the account as specified by the web site hosting package detailed in the Prices Page (i. e., Starter's, Business or Corporate Packages). It does not include replacing all the text in a page, or creating new graphic elements. This would be regarded as a redevelopment, and would require additional fees at the going hourly rate.

If the client or an agent other than CorpImages.net unsuccessfully attempts updating the client's pages, time to repair Web pages will be assessed at the hourly rate, and is not included as part of the maintenance time.

The twelve-month maintenance period commences upon the date the client activates the account. Changes requested by the client beyond those limits shall be billed at the current hourly rate.

Whenever the client submits the copy, it is required to be sent in electronic form (i.e. email) to Design@CorpImages.net and should be final text. Time required to make substantive changes to client-submitted text after the Web site has been constructed will attract additional charges, billed at the hourly rate. Copy written by CorpImages.net will be billed at the current hourly rate and will have to be authorized in writing by the client.

  4. Any maintenance on the site will only occur after the final payment is made.
  5. Overdue invoices will attract a US$15 charge it payment is not received within 10 working days of the due date.
  6. At the discretion of CorpImages.net, if an amount remains overdue by 30 days, an additional 5% penalty will be added for each month the amount is overdue.
  7. If after 90 days of account activation date when designing was requested, or when designing request was submitted online, the contracted work is not completed due to no fault of CorpImages.net and due to the client not supplying the appropriate materials to complete the site, and more than 50% of the contracted work has been completed, CorpImages.net reserves the right to invoice for the outstanding amount, payable within seven (7) days of date of invoice.
Assignment of Project:

CorpImages.net reserves the right to assign subcontractors to this project to ensure the right fit for the job as well as on-time completion.

Liability:

The client represents to CorpImages.net and unconditionally guarantees that any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork furnished to CorpImages.net for inclusion in the Web site are owned by the client, or that the client has permission from the rightful owner to use each of these elements, and will hold harmless, protect, and defend CorpImages.net and its subcontractors from any claim or suit arising from the use of such elements furnished by the client.

Domain Name Dispute Policy:

This Domain Name Dispute Policy (the "Policy") is incorporated by reference into your Registration Agreement, and sets forth the terms and conditions that you agree to adhere to in connection with a dispute between you and any party other than us over the registration and use of an Internet domain name ("Domain Name") registered to you. By registering a Domain Name with CorpImages.net, or transferring an existing Domain Name registration to us for administration, you agree to accept and be legally bound by the terms of this Policy. Please remember that we are one of a number of Domain Name reg-istrars, and this Policy applies only to Domain Name registrations that are administered by CorpImages.net, even if you originally registered the Domain Name with another registrar.

What we do:

We submit applications to the appropriate Domain Name registry to register or renew "second-level" Domain Names in the .COM, .ORG, .NET, .INT, .EDU, and virtually any country-specific top level domains (TLD), and also administer second-level Domain Name registrations. A second-level Domain Name refers to the characters to the left of the dot that precedes the top level domain. For example, in the Domain Name " CorpImages.net," the term "CorpImages" is the second level Domain Name. We submit registration applications for second-level Domain Names on a first come, first served basis. We do not take any steps to verify that you have the right to register a Domain Name other than to confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the Domain Name is not currently registered to someone else. We do not check to see whether someone else has trademark or other rights in the Domain Name you want to register.

Your Representations:

By applying to register for a Domain Name, or by asking us to administer or renew a Domain Name registration, you hereby represent and warrant to us that:
(a) the statements that you made in your Registration Agreement are complete and accurate;
(b) to the best of your knowledge, the registration of the Domain Name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party;
(c) you are not registering the Domain Name for an unlawful purpose; and
(d) you will not knowingly use the Domain Name in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.
We suggest that you seek to determine whether another person, corporation, or other entity has prior or superior rights to use the Domain Name(s) you would like to register. Please note that if you select a Domain Name in which another party has legally enforceable rights, you may expose yourself to a lawsuit for monetary or other damages, and are also at risk that a court, arbitrator or other judicial or administrative body could instruct us to cancel your Domain Name registration and/or transfer it to another person or entity.

Revocation:

We will suspend, cancel, transfer or otherwise modify Domain Name registrations in the following circumstances:
a. our receipt of written or appropriate electronic instructions from you or your authorized agent to take such action;
b. our receipt of an order from a court or arbitral tribunal, both of competent jurisdiction, requiring such action;
c. our receipt of an order or instructions requiring such action from an Administrative Panel (as defined under the Mandatory Administrative Proceeding paragraph below) in any administrative proceeding to which you were a party; and/or
d. our receipt of an order or instructions requiring such action from an administrative body or a dispute resolution service provider to effect the terms of the dispute policy of another registrar.
We may also suspend, cancel, transfer or otherwise modify Domain Name registrations in accordance with the terms of your Registration Agreement.

Mandatory Administrative Proceeding:

a. Standards. You hereby agree to submit to an administrative proceeding conducted under the auspices of any of the administrative providers listed on Exhibit A hereto (each, a "Provider") in the event that a complainant asserts that: (i) your Domain Name is identical or misleadingly similar to a trade or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and (ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name; and (iii) your Domain Name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph (a) above, the following, in particular but without limitation, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a Domain Name in bad faith: (i) your offer to sell, rent or otherwise transfer the Domain Name registration to the complainant or to a competitor of the complainant of the trade or service mark, for valuable consideration; (ii) an attempt to attract, for financial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating confusion with the trade or service mark of the complainant; (iii) the registration of your Domain Name in order to prevent the owner of the trade or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding Domain Name, provided that a pattern of such conduct has been established on your part; and/or (iv) the registration of your Domain Name in order to disrupt the business of a competitor.
c. Process. The rules of procedure to be applied by each Provider, including the process for initiating a proceeding before that Provider and selecting a panel to hear the dispute (the "Administrative Panel"), are set forth in Exhibit B. We may delete or add Providers in our sole discretion. The complainant shall select the Provider before which the proceeding shall be brought, and shall pay any initial fees specified by the Provider. The complainant may initiate a proceeding under this Policy pursuant to a Provider's rules of procedure and request that the Administrative Panel selected to hear a dispute consolidate other outstanding disputes between you and the complainant, even if such disputes involve Domain Name registrations maintained by another registrar(s). The Administrative Panel may consolidate all such disputes in its sole discretion and if it is competent to decide disputes over such Domain Name registrations due to the fact that such disputes are governed by a domain name dispute policy identical to this Policy in all material respects.
d. Fees. All fees incurred in connection with any dispute before an Administrative Panel pursuant to this Policy shall be paid as set forth in the relevant Provider's rules of procedure.
e. Our Involvement in Administrative Proceedings. We do not, and will not, participate in the administration or conduct of any proceeding before an Administrative Panel. In addition, we will not be responsible for any (i) decisions rendered by the Administrative Panel; or (ii) damages arising out of (X) the Administrative Panel proceeding; or (Y) the implementation of the decision rendered by the Administrative Panel.
f. Maintaining the Status Quo. We will not change the status of any Domain Name registration under this policy except as provided under the section titled Revocation hereof.
g. Awards. The remedies available to a complainant pursuant to any proceeding before an Administrative Panel shall be limited to requiring that we suspend or revoke your Domain Name registration or transfer your Domain Name registration to the complainant. An Administrative Panel may also determine the allocation of the costs of the administrative proceeding, including any initial costs paid by the complainant, as between you and the complainant.
h. Notification and Publication. The Provider shall notify us of any determination made by one of its Administrative Panels. The determination of any Administrative Panel shall be published over the Internet by the Administrative Panel unless the Administrative Panel determines in its sole discretion not to do so either on its own or at the submission of a request from one of the parties.
i. Opportunity for Court Proceeding. The mandatory administrative proceeding requirements set forth in this Paragraphs shall not prevent either you or the complainant from submitting your dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution before or after such mandatory administrative proceeding is commenced. If an Administrative Panel determines that your Domain Name should be revoked, suspended or transferred, we will implement that decision seven (7) days after being informed by the Panel of its determination, unless we receive from you a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court, challenging that decision.

All Other Disputes and Litigation:

Disputes between you and any third party regarding your Domain Name registration that are not subject to the mandatory administrative proceeding provisions of the Paragraph titled Mandatory Administrative Proceeding above shall be resolved between you and such third party. You hereby agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of your domicile and to the courts of Washington, DC, USA. You may be subject to the jurisdiction of other courts as well. We shall have no obligation to, nor shall we, participate in any such dispute in any way, except as provided under Paragraph titled Transfers below. You hereby agree that you shall not name us as a party to such proceeding. In the event that we are named as a party in any such proceeding, we reserve the right to raise any and all defenses deemed appropriate, and to take any other action necessary to defend ourselves, regardless of the terms of this Policy.

Notice:

You must promptly notify us in writing if your Domain Name registration is made the subject of a pending court action, arbitration or administrative proceeding.

Transfers:

a. Transfers to a Third Party. You may not transfer your Domain Name registration to another party (i) during a pending administrative proceeding brought pursuant to Section titled Mandatory Administrative Proceeding above or (ii) during a pending court proceeding or arbitration commenced regarding your Domain Name, unless the party to whom the Domain Name registration is being transferred agrees, in writing, to be bound by the decision of the court or arbitrator. We reserve the right to revoke the transfer of a Domain Name registration to a third party if this sub-paragraph has been violated.
b. Transfer to Another Registrar. You may transfer administration of your Domain Name registration to another registrar during a pending court action, arbitration or administrative proceeding, provided that (i) the Domain Name registration shall continue to be subject to the pending proceedings in accordance with the terms of this Policy; and (ii) the new registrar has a dispute policy under which it will honor any decision rendered in any such proceeding. In the event that you transfer a Domain Name registration to us during the pendency of a court action, arbitration or administrative proceeding, such dispute shall be subject to the dispute policy of the registrar from which the Domain Name registration was transferred.

Deposit of Registry Certificate:

In the event of a court proceeding concerning your Domain Name registration, we will, at your request or at the request of a complainant, deposit control of the Domain Name registration into the registry of a court where the action is pending. We will do this solely by supplying you or the complainant with a registry certificate for the Domain Name registration for deposit with the court.

Indemnification Specifications:

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CorpImages.net, Internet Domain Registrars, Network Solutions, Inc., and its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of or relating to your domain name registration.

Modifications:

You hereby acknowledge and agree that we may modify or amend this Policy from time to time. We will post our revised Policy at www.CorpImages.net /english/Policies.html at least ten (10) calendar days before it becomes effective. Unless this Dispute Policy has already been invoked by either you or a complainant, in which event the version of the dispute policy in effect at the time it was invoked will apply to you until the dispute is over, all such changes will be binding upon you with respect to any Domain Name registration dispute, whether the dispute arose before, on or after the effective date of our modification. In the event that you object to a change in this Policy, your sole remedy is to abandon or transfer your Domain Name registration to another registrar, provided that in the event of such transfer, you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees you paid to us. The revised Policy will apply to you until you cancel or transfer your Domain Name registration.
