Terms of Service Agreement

This Service Agreement governs customer's purchase and use, in any manner, of Hosting, as described in the Order Form, ordered by customer and accepted by NASplex and describes the terms and conditions that apply to such purchase and use of the Services. NASplex reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Addendum and any policy or guideline incorporated by reference at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, and to determine whether and when any such changes apply to both existing or future customers. Any modification will be effective upon posting of the revisions on our site. NASplex may post changes or modifications to referenced policies and guidelines without notice to you. Your continued use of the Services following NASplex posting of any changes or modifications will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications. IF CUSTOMER DOES NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF ANY MODIFICATION, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SERVICES AND IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY NASplex, OF YOUR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW.

I. Overview
  1. This Agreement shall be for an "Initial Term" of thirty (30) days for Hosting. Customer agrees to all terms and conditions of services provided by NASplex, beginning upon receipt by fax, e-mail, or express mail.
  2. All charges for Services are non-refundable and must be paid in advance according to the then current price applicable to the Services. Upon registration for Hosting Services, customer must choose to pay for the Services either by credit/debit card or paypal upon your receipt of an invoice. If customer chooses to pay by credit card upon registering for Hosting Services, customer thereby authorizes NASplex to charge you to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. If client pays via paypal, the subscription MUST remain active for their hosting account to remain active. When customer cancels subscription with paypal, they also cancel hosting service. If client cancels early, no refunds will be given for any unused portion of service. Customer agrees that NASplex may accumulate any supplemental charges, as described in the Order Form, incurred by you in your use of the Services ("Supplemental Charges") until such charges exceed $20 and then invoice the charges to customer. Customer must notify NASplex of any changes to your billing information, your billing address, credit card on file, or any information that may prohibit NASplex from charging you. If customer chooses to be invoiced upon registration for Hosting Services, NASplex will send an invoice to you for the Services applicable to the period for which you have registered for the Services. NASplex may also send periodic invoices to customer for any applicable Supplemental Charges associated with your use of the Services. Customer agrees to pay to NASplex the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice. If customer fails to pay any fees and taxes within three (3) days from applicable due date for credit card or invoice payments, late charges of the lesser of one and one-half per cent (1.5%) per month or the maximum allowable under applicable law shall also become payable by you to NASplex. In addition, customer's failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within five (5) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying NASplex suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. Customer is responsible for any fees associated with reinstated of Services. Any such termination would not relieve customer from paying past due fees plus interest. In the event of collection enforcement, customer will be liable for any costs associated with such collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees.
  3. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the Initial Term unless you provide NASplex with notice of termination either (a) at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable.
  4. Initial payment is due upon activation of account. Activation takes effect on the date of receipt of payment, and will be renewed automatically for identical successive periods. Any changes made to the customer's package shall be billed accordingly.
  5. All orders are subject to acceptance by NASplex. An order will be deemed accepted by our company when confirmation of the order is sent to the customer. We may refuse to accept any order, or delay acceptance awaiting completion of conditions the company may choose to exercise. Such refusal of such conditions may not be unreasonable, however, and NASplex agrees to provide the customer with reasonable notice by E-mail or fax of any intent to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.
  6. NASplex reserves the right to suspend the customer's account and services without notice should there be any problems with the customers method of payment. This includes expired credit cards, declined credit cards, inactive credit cards, failed subscription payments, and invalid checks or echecks. NASplex Also reserve's the rights to refuse service to customers and/or prospects who are abusive toward NASplex employees and consultants.
  7. Bandwidth utilization will be monitored via MRTG and calculated by the following method: Monthly Avg. In + Monthly Avg. Out / 8 Bits x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 30.5 days = Total Data Transfer (GB). Furthermore, the max burst rate for each port / server is 100Mbps X 4 (BG4 Routing)
  8. Servers provided NASplex are managed. Customer will be responsible for all server administration related issues. NASplex will monitor your server for uptime and provide free reboot upon a request. Additional professional administration is also available at $45.00 per hour with a one (1) hour minimum requirement.
  9. NASplex may filter and block certain ports without notice at any time to protect the network from Denial of Service (DDoS), SYNC, and Ping flood attacks. Customer will need to consult with the engineering department as to which ports are available.
II. Taxes

NASplex shall not be liable for any taxes or other fees to be paid in accordance with or related to purchases made from the customer or NASplex servers. Customer also agrees to take full responsibility for all taxes and fees of any nature associated with any such products sold.

Privacy Policy
NASplex demonstrates its commitment to our customers' privacy by providing this statement. We will do everything in our power to ensure your right to privacy. We are committed to developing long lasting relationships that are built on trust. NASplex will never violate that trust.

NASplex policies and procedures for handling customer information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, NASplex's policies and procedures are subject to change.

In the course of serving its customers, NASplex acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to NASplex by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by NASplex in the normal course of providing service.

NASplex also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer for various reasons. For example, NASplex uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within NASplex. In addition, NASplex may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

Data Security
NASplex will protect the confidentiality of its customers' information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of NASplex, its partners, its employees and other customers of NASplex's services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers, NASplex has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.

How is customer information used?
NASplex may share customer information with selected partners, for example, to provide customers with information about products which might be of interest to the customer or to enable the customer to take advantage of special partner programs. NASplex may also use customer information to provide its customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. In addition, NASplex shares its web site usage information about visitors to NASplex's web sites with third-party advertising companies for the purpose of targeting NASplex's Internet banner advertisements on NASplex's sites and other sites. For this purpose, NASplex and such companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

Opt Out & Modifications
Customers may opt out of receiving notices of new or upgraded products from NASplex and NASplex partners by contacting NASplex. However, customers may not opt out of receiving information from NASplex which is essential for maintaining or updating customers' accounts or system information.

Disclosure of customer information and communications
NASplex will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and account information unless NASplex has reason to believe that disclosing such information is legal and necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of NASplex, NASplex's customers, or others, or where NASplex has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure. NASplex also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that NASplex stores or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which NASplex will disclose such electronic customer communications are when:
  1. It is necessary in order to provide service to the customer.
  2. It is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of NASplex and its customers.
  3. It is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, subpoenas, or other legal process that NASplex determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable.
  4. It is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by NASplex and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.
NASplex disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. NASplex will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm NASplex, its customers or third parties. The grounds on which NASplex may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of NASplex's Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.
