World's Best Hosting Service Agreement
updated 1/1/09

This Service Agreement governs customer's purchase and use, in any manner, of all services, including Web Site Hosting, as described in the Order Form, ordered by Customer and accepted by (WorldsBestHosting.com) and describes the terms and conditions that apply to such purchase and use of the Services. WorldsBestHosting.com 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. 

WorldsBestHosting.com may post changes or modifications to referenced policies and guidelines without notice to you. Your continued use of the Services following WorldsBestHosting.com 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 (WorldsBestHosting.com) OF YOUR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED BELOW.

1. This Agreement shall be for all services -- including Web Site and Reseller Hosting. Customer agrees to all terms and conditions of services provided by WorldsBestHosting.com, beginning upon receipt by fax, e-mail, or express mail.

2. All charges for Services (including installation and professional support fees) are non-refundable and must be paid in advance according to the then current price applicable to the Services. Upon registration for Web Site and Reseller hosting, customer must choose to pay for the Services either by mailed in check or money order, or by the PayPal service, upon your receipt of an invoice. WorldsBestHosting.com may also send periodic invoices to customer for any applicable Supplemental Charges associated with your use of the Services. Customer agrees to pay  WorldsBestHosting.com the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice. The billing cycle begins the same day the customer signs up for service from WorldsBestHosting.com, since setting up their account is almost instant. The customers billing cycle ends one calendar month after the day it started. Payments are due by the start of the billing cycle. If customer fails to pay all fees due on their account within fifteen (15) days from applicable due date for credit card or invoice payments, a late payment fee of 10% per month or $15 (which ever is higher) become payable by the customer to WorldsBestHosting.com. In addition, customer's failure to fully pay all fees within fifteen (15) days after the applicable due date (thirty days from when the payment is due) will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying WorldsBestHosting.com suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. Customer is responsible for any fees associated with reinstated of Services (such as sign up fees). Any such termination would not relieve customer from paying past due fees plus interest of 5%. 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 WorldsBestHosting.com with notice of termination either (a) at least five (5) 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 WorldsBestHosting.com. 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 as a phone call to avoid fraud). Such refusal of such conditions may not be unreasonable, however, and WorldsBestHosting.com 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. WorldsBestHosting.com reserves the right to suspend the customer's account and services without notice should there be any problems with the customers method of payment.

7. Bandwidth utilization is monitored and reported by the following method: Total In data + Total Out data = Total Data Transferred (measured in MB).

8. WorldsBestHosting.com reserve the right to levy a penalty fee of $50.00 per violation of the Acceptable Use Policy and Service Agreement.   

II. Material & Products
    WorldsBestHosting.com will exercise no control whatsoever over the content of the information passing through the network or on the customer's web sites. WorldsBestHosting.com makes no warranties or guarantees of any kind, whether expressed or implied for the service it is providing. WorldsBestHosting.com also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for particular purpose and will not be responsible for any damages that may be suffered by the customer, including loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries or service interruptions or gaps by any cause or errors or omissions of the customer. WorldsBestHosting.com is not responsible for any loss, erasure, or corruption of customer's data or files whatsoever. To ensure integrity of the server data, WorldsBestHosting.com performs nightly backups of customers website configuration, but ultimately it is the customers responsibility to perform their own backups of any critical data, in cases of hardware failure. In case of hardware failure, if the customer has not purchased a data backup package, WorldsBestHosting.com is only required to provide the customer with a blank website account. If a customer has purchased a data backup package, WorldsBestHosting will perform a full restore of the customers account if needed. Customers can create their own Full Site backups at any time through their cPanel account for no extra charge. Use of any information obtained by way of WorldsBestHosting.com is at the customer's own risk, and the company specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its services. Network connectivity represents the speed of connection to the network through the data center and does not represent guarantees of available end to end bandwidth. 
    WorldsBestHosting.com expressly limits its damages to the customer for any non-accessibility time or other down time to the pro-rate monthly charge during the system unavailability. WorldsBestHosting.com specifically denies any responsibilities for any damages arising from a consequence of such unavailability. In the event that this material is not "server-ready", WorldsBestHosting.com may, at its option and at any time, reject this material, including but not limited to after it has been put on our servers. WorldsBestHosting.com agrees to notify customer immediately of our refusal of the material and afford customer the opportunity to amend or modify the material to satisfy the needs and/or requirements of the company. If the customer fails to modify the material, as directed by WorldsBestHosting.com, within a reasonable period of time, which shall be determined between the parties themselves, the Agreement shall be terminated.
    Virus scanning, spam detection, and a firewall are installed on WorldsBestHosting.com computer systems. All inbound and outbound e-mail will be scanned for viruses, all e-mail that passes the virus scanner will next be scanned for spam before being delivered to a customers inbox. The firewall that is installed on the computer system is used to protect against attacks, and is configured to automatically lockout any IP that tries multiple attempts (Brute Force Attack) to gain access to the system.

III. Uptime Guarantee
    WorldsBestHosting.com guarantees that access to the data center, through the network will be available 100% of the time during any given month (not more than 45 minutes of interruption of service) of the time in a given month excluding scheduled maintenance. In the event that our network is inaccessible for more than one hour during any thirty (30) day period, each customer will automatically be granted an additional 10GB of data transfer free of charge for the following month as compensation for the aforementioned downtime. Network uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including routers, switches and cabling. Network downtime exists when a particular customer is unable to transmit and receive data to and from the data center's internet backbone routers, and WorldsBestHosting.com records such failure in the WorldsBestHosting.com trouble ticket system. Network downtime is measured from the time the trouble ticket is opened by a customer to the time the server is once again able to transmit and receive data. Hardware failure, server maintenance (such as installing/upgrading software) does occur during the normal operation of WorldsBestHosting.com web hosting services. These system downtimes are preventive maintenance to enhance the web hosting experience for all customers, and to safeguard the security of the server. Hardware failure happens periodically due to unknown causes. During these times of failure, WorldsBestHosting.com will add additional days of service proportionally to the amount of downtime incurred.
