Welcome to Warp Speed Hosting. By using Warp Speed Hosting Services on the Internet
(the "Service") you are hereby expressly agreeing to the terms and
conditions set forth below. If you do not agree with the terms and
conditions herein for any reason, you must discontinue your use of the
service immediately, and notify Warp Speed Hosting
according to our "Termination of Service" clause.
These terms are between Consumer Group USA, Inc. and/or DBA: Warp Speed Hosting (hereinafter "Warp Speed
Hosting") and the party signing up for services (collectively hereinafter "Customer").
WARP
SPEED HOSTING, agrees to provide to Customer shared web hosting services,
email hosting services, dedicated server services, virtual private server
services, web site design, web site programming, SEO (search engine
optimization) services, online advertising services, domain registrations, domain
renewals, domain modifications, and any other agreed upon services (hereafter after known as: "Service") based
on which services are chosen by the customer and agreed to by Warp Speed
Hosting. All such services provided by Warp Speed Hosting are in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. |
| 1.ACCEPTANCE OF Warp Speed Hosting POLICY |
|
It is a condition to your use of the Service that you accept and agree to the Warp Speed Hosting Policy included in these subscription materials. By using the Service you acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand each provision of the Warp Speed Hosting Policy, and you agree to comply with this Policy.
These are the terms of service for any and all services which Warp Speed
Hosting provides to its customers. Acceptance of these terms applies
to any and all past, present, or future Services which Warp Speed Hosting provides
or has provided to any Customer. |
| 2.SUBSCRIPTION TO Warp Speed Hosting SERVICES |
|
Warp Speed Hosting requires full payment for the Service before the Service may be accessed and used,
although Warp Speed Hosting may solely elect to allow balances to accrue and
bill for such balances after any such service has already been provided. You may subscribe
for the Service at the rates and under any one of the alternative subscription methods described in the
plan pricing on our web site. The plans on our site are in
reference to our web hosting services. If a plan is customized for the
Customer, a price will be sent to the Customer via email as notification of
their pricing. Payment is expected to be received before Customer may select
their password and access the
Service. In the event that payment is suspended or interrupted for any reason, then your account will be in default and
subject to suspension or termination at Warp Speed Hosting's election.
Termination of the account does not waive or limit any of your liabilities
or obligations. Subscription rates may be changed from time to time, and any
changes will be applied to your next billing period. Any taxes and third-party
charges will be separately charged to you, in addition to the subscription
rates and Service. Additionally, any premium services such as premium spam
filtering, programming, design, or any other agreed upon service shall be due when services are rendered.
Premium spam services will reduce spam significantly although not completely
as there is a fine balance between removing spam and not removing legitimate
emails, therefore there are no guarantees of exactly how successful premium
spam services will be. Due to various technical issues, no
services provide for guaranteed results. It is the Customer's
responsibility to choose to cancel any service which they believe they are
not receiving the results they expect. Any and all services rendered
prior to cancellation or termination of the Service term (per paragraph 19)
are accepted as a service which shall be paid in full by the Customer.
Any invoice or statement of monies due which is sent to a Customer via email
is considered accepted by the Customer if it is not disputed in writing
within 30 days. Customer must receive written confirmation of such dispute, including but not limited to a reply to the disputed email.
A disputed invoice or statement for monies due sent by the Customer via US
Postal Service Certified Mail with return receipt shall also suffice as a written
receipt of disputing an invoice or statement / balance of monies owed. Customer agrees that pricing for any services provided by Warp Speed Hosting are subject to change at any time. Customer agrees that all service orders, changes to services (including additions, reductions, upgrades, or renewals), and cancellations may be submitted and confirmed via email or other written electronic communication. Customer further agrees that such communications shall be deemed binding and enforceable as if executed in writing, and Customer shall be responsible for all charges resulting from such authorized communications. Customer's payment obligations are not contingent upon Customer's use of the services or the performance of any third party. |

|
| 11.SERVICE USAGE |
|
Robots, Bots, Spiders, Crawlers, etc. are not welcome on our web sites. They are intrusive and kill system performance for
other users. There are many ways to hide Bots, and many ways to find them. If you are caught, your subscription will be
terminated. This is a shared web hosting service. Warp Speed Hosting, at its sole discretion, may terminate a customer's
site should their CPU, ram, disk I/O usage, or other resources used be excessive and harm the performance of other sites
on the machine. Warp Speed Hosting may, at its sole discretion, offer an alternative plan / service or dedicated
service for such a customer and may offer to apply any unused balance towards the new service. Otherwise, there are no
refunds for unused services.
|
| 12.CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION |
|
Subscription information is treated as confidential and will not be sold, shared, or provided to anyone, unless the subscriber is found to be participating in illegal activities through the service, and the user information is solicited through court order. We do not support software designed to collect e-mail addresses from news group posts. If we find this type of software in use by a subscriber, their subscribership will be terminated. We will also continually look for methods to disable such software when used in conjunction with our service.
|
| 13.SPAM AND MESSAGE CANCELLATIONS |
|
Spam, defined as commercial messages posted to non-commercial news groups, off topic posts to a newsgroup, large scale
redundant posts, or unsolicited email messages are not permitted via the service. Users posting Spam messages will be
subject to the Warp Speed Hosting general policies in this regard. Those wishing to advertise via Usenet news services are welcome to place their URL's in the subject line of posts.
We will not mediate disputes arising within a newsgroup , or result of unsolicited e-mail sent by a subscriber. The
crucial elements of Usenet news and email are freedom of speech within a public forum and we will not do anything that
diminishes that right. Again, Spam is absolutely not tolerated on this system. Any user who attempts to use our services to send unsolicited email messages or bring traffic back to their web site through the use of Spam will be terminated.
|

| 15.E-MAIL SERVICE |
|
Subscriber is solely responsible for the contents of his or her transmissions through the Service. Subscriber's use of the Service is subject to all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations. Subscriber agrees to comply with U.S. law regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States through the Service, not to use the Service for illegal purposes, not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the service and to comply with all regulations, policies, and procedures of networks connected to the Service. Subscribers will not use the Service for chain letters, junk mail, spamming or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. Subscriber agrees not to transmit through the Service any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. Attempts to gain unauthorized access shall not interfere with another subscriber's use and enjoyment of the Service or another entity's use and enjoyment of similar services. |
| 16. DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION |
|
While Warp Speed Hosting helps facilitate the registration process for an individual or organization, it does not
endorse any of the requested domains, nor the individual/organizations registering them. Registration of a domain
name is not refundable and is completed at the point of sale for various reasons including the inability for Warp
Speed Hosting to delete the domain after it is registered and receive credit back for its registration.
Registration of domains is a courtesy service that Warp Speed Hosting provides for its customers which facilitates
hosting services yet it is quite separate from the hosting service itself as we do not create these domains
ourselves. We reserve the right to refuse registration services to any potential or current user wishing to make
inappropriate or unreasonable use of this service. The determination of what constitutes inappropriateness is up to Warp
Speed Hosting, Inc.'s sole judgment. By applying for the domain name, and through the use or continued use of the domain
name, the applicant also agrees to the domain registration terms of service within Network
Solutions, Inc. as applicable to domain name registrations, renewals, and
domain services so long as such terms do not conflict with this agreement.
Customer agrees that it is their responsibility to view Network Solutions
terms in case they change as such changes will become part of this agreement.
Customer agrees that Warp Speed Hosting may (at its sole
discretion; and under no obligation) renew any domain which is currently being serviced by Warp Speed Hosting. It is
understood by the Customer that such an elective renewal may occur so as to help avoid potential downtime of services being provided by Warp Speed Hosting
and or to secure a domain for any balances which may be owed by Customer to
Warp Speed Hosting.
A renewal
by Warp Speed Hosting without the Customer's expressed request will not exceed a two-year registration renewal. Customer agrees to pay for the retail price of domain registration
renewals which are automatically renewed by Warp Speed Hosting and that such
payments will first be applied to any accrued interest charges, then to late payment fees and finally applied to any hosting service outstanding balance owed and then
to domain name registration renewal amounts due. Customer understands and
agrees that prior to a balance being paid in full, Warp Speed Hosting may,
as its sole election, renew the domain with the funds of Warp Speed Hosting
and change the registrant ownership information to Warp Speed Hosting in order
to secure a lien on Customer's domain name until all Warp Speed Hosting balances are received and paid in full. Once payment
is made in full for all Warp Speed Hosting balances, Warp Speed Hosting will transfer ownership of the domain to
the previous owner of the domain. Customer
understands and agrees that Warp Speed Hosting may solely elect to provide no services on such secured
domain until any and all balances are paid. Customer agrees to maintain current all Whois information
for Customer's domain name. Customer is solely responsible for knowing the expiration dates required for renewal
and understands that their hosting services may be interrupted should their
domain expire. Customer further understands that they may lose
all rights to the ownership of their domain name after the domain expires. Customer
therefore understands and agrees that it is Customer's sole responsibility
(under any and all circumstances) to renew their domain name prior to
expiration.
Customer agrees that sections 7 (indemnification) & 8 (limitation of
liability) of these terms apply to this entire agreement including domain
name registrations and/or renewals. Attempting to renew domain names after the expiration date are not guaranteed, and attempting to renew domain names after
the expiration date may result in additional fees, whether or not such attempts to recover domain names from redemption,
expiration, or deletion are successful. Please note that domain registration, renewal, and private registration fees are not refundable.
|
| 17.COMMERCIAL WEB HOSTING |
|
Warp Speed Hosting makes its servers available to subscribers of its web hosting services, but does not endorse any of the items hosted on its servers. We reserve the right to refuse hosting services to any potential or current user wishing to make inappropriate or unreasonable use of our hosting services, which could have a negative impact on Warp Speed Hosting's ability to serve its other customers. The inappropriateness or reasonableness of a customer's "web presence materials" shall be determined by Warp Speed Hosting's sole judgment. Examples of inappropriate or unreasonable use: -Providing materials that the government deems illegal. Providing "adult" material on an open site that could be accessed by children. -Promoting or sending out unsolicited commercial email or Spam. -Excessive consumption of disk space, bandwidth, CPU, email, etc. that interferes with our ability to serve other customers at our service. Users notified of inappropriate usage, who fail to correct the situation will lose their hosting account with our service. In the event that this happens, Warp Speed Hosting is not required to prorate a refund for the remaining time left within a given account. In the event that a customer leaves the service for any reason, Warp Speed Hosting is under no obligation to keep their server name or net address on record. In addition, any data, files, or "web presence" materials will be removed from our local servers upon the termination of an account. On a related note, though our Corporate packages permit customers to use their accounts for binary or software archival purposes, this would not be allowed for Personal accounts. While our hosting customers are permitted to utilize CGI scripts as a component of their "web presence", we will not provide any answers or support to issues relating to acquiring, learning, programming, debugging, installing, and running CGI scripts. Our web hosting packages are intended for the user that establishes a service contract with our company. As a result, disk space, email boxes, and any part there in, may not be redistributed or resold to another individual or organization. We pride ourselves on providing a quality Web Hosting service at competitive pricing, and in return ask that our current customers pay for this service in a timely fashion. Payment for the first time subscribers will need to be received prior to establishing any type of web presence on our local systems, and existing customers will be billed for their service on an automated basis, month to month. If a monthly payment is not received within 30 days of the due date, a late payment fee of $25.00 will be assessed and interest will accrue at 18% per annum (simple interest) or the highest rate allowed by Florida law at that time from the 31st day until the balance is paid in-full. Warp Speed Hosting shall apply any of Customer's payments first towards accrued interest, then to late penalties, and finally towards outstanding hosting balances owed in that order. Warp Speed Hosting may elect to disable Customer's account at any time an overdue balance is owed until Warp Speed Hosting receives payment in-full for the complete overdue balance. Customer agrees that solely failing to pay monthly subscription fees does not constitute termination of services. Warp Speed Hosting is not required to store, save, or transfer any data that remains within a customers web presence account after they have left the service or their subscribership has been disabled. In all cases, interpretations of Policy and final decisions and actions rest with Warp Speed Hosting services. |
| 18.CREDIT CARD / ELECTRONIC CHECK |
|
Customer agrees to have Warp Speed Hosting charge their credit card and/or debit card on a
monthly basis during their service period. Any electronic checks will be
charged for periods exceeding 3 month prepayment of service at a time.
Customer agrees that submitting credit card and/or debit card information,
providing checking accounts and routing numbers, or mailing / faxing / e-mailing a
signed check to Warp Speed Hosting gives Warp Speed Hosting the authorization to automatically debit any amount equal to or less than the outstanding balance then due from such a credit card, debit card and/or bank checking account automatically as they
are due and / or for any balances past due to Warp Speed Hosting. Customer
agrees that these charges will continue until any balance due remaining is paid in full. Customer understands and agrees that all balances owed to Warp Speed
Hosting under this agreement are valid charges. Customer agrees to pay Warp Speed Hosting an additional 3% convenience charge for any credit card charge(s) in excess of $300.00. Customer also agrees to pay Warp Speed Hosting $100.00 for each credit card charge disputed by Customer with their credit card and/or debit card issuing bank which Warp Speed Hosting ultimately prevails on. |
| 19. TERMINATION OF SERVICE |
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Committed License Services (as defined in Paragraph 24) are subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in Paragraph 24. For all other services provided by Warp Speed Hosting, including hosting and other recurring services not classified as Committed License Services, Customer may terminate such services by providing written notice to Warp Speed Hosting via email to an email address designated by Warp Speed Hosting for Customer communications, including the contact email address used by Warp Speed Hosting in its account records or correspondence with Customer, or to a cancellation address designated by Warp Speed Hosting from time to time, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination, and Customer shall remain responsible for all charges incurred through the effective date of termination. Customer must
receive confirmation of this cancellation via email, fax, or mail
from Warp Speed Hosting
in order to be considered valid. Without written confirmation of cancellation from Warp Speed Hosting, any purported termination request shall be deemed invalid. Warp Speed Hosting reserves the right to withhold such confirmation if the cancellation request was not received, lacks clarity, or does not specify the exact service(s) Customer wishes to cancel. If a Customer subscribes to more than one service, a cancellation request must clearly specify which specific service(s) are being requested for cancellation. No cancellation shall be effective without such specificity, and no confirmation of cancellation shall be issued unless the service(s) requested for cancellation are clearly identified in writing. Payment of the subscription entitles Customer to use the Service in accordance with this Agreement and Warp Speed Hosting Policy through the end of the applicable subscription period. Any Customer who elects a term greater than
month-to-month must cancel their services thirty (30) or more days prior to the end of their agreed
upon term, although no refunds shall be given for unused portions of services
committed to. For example, if a yearly term ends on October 1, cancellation must be submitted no later than August 31 to avoid renewal for another annual term. Failure to cancel services thirty (30) days or more prior to the end of the term shall result in a renewal of
said term. Warp Speed Hosting is not responsible for Customer's failure to use
the services offered by Warp Speed Hosting. Therefore,
non-use of the services/plans offered does not constitute a cancellation of
said services/plans. Customer agrees that Warp Speed Hosting has the right to terminate any Customer for any reason upon thirty (30) days' written notice. |
| 20. RELEASE OF CLAIMS |
|
Customer hereby releases and forever discharges Warp Speed Hosting and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, and liabilities of any kind, whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating to the Services, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF WARP SPEED HOSTING, except to the extent caused by Warp Speed Hosting's gross negligence or willful misconduct. |

period for which you have subscribed. We have a no
refund policy and any refunds granted are at the sole discretion of Warp

No party
shall, by the mere lapse of time, without giving notice or taking other
action, be deemed to have waived any of their rights under this Agreement.

prior or subsequent breach of this Agreement. f.) If the Customer is or becomes the subject of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization or other similar proceeding, federal or state, voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future law or act, Customer consents to the immediate and absolute lifting of any stay as to the enforcement of remedies under this Agreement, including specifically the stay imposed by section 362 of the United States Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended. g.)

each of its terms and not against the party drafting the document. k.)

| 23. THIRD PARTY SERVICES |
|
Customer understands and agrees that Warp Speed Hosting may use third parties for the benefit of its customers. Those services include, but are not limited to, third-party domain registrars for registering and renewing domain names, premium spam filtering services, email services, data archiving services, and other third-party services. Customer agrees to be legally bound by the terms of service of any such third-party services used for Customer's benefit by Warp Speed Hosting. Customer acknowledges that third-party services (including but not limited to Google and Microsoft services) may be provisioned through Warp Speed Hosting. Customer may elect to obtain such services directly from the applicable third-party provider at any time; however, such transition shall not relieve Customer of any payment obligations or contractual commitments under this Agreement, including any Committed License Services. Upon such transition, Warp Speed Hosting shall have no responsibility for the continued operation, migration, configuration, support, or performance of such services unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing. Customer agrees that it is its responsibility to review such third-party terms, as updated from time to time, and that continued use of the services constitutes acceptance of such terms, including but not limited to the Google Workspace Terms of Service and Service-Specific Terms located at: https://workspace.google.com/terms/premier_terms/ and https://workspace.google.com/terms/service-terms/ Customer further agrees to notify Warp Speed Hosting within thirty (30) days of any changes to such terms that it does not agree to. Customer understands and agrees that if it disagrees with any modifications to such terms, it will contact Warp Speed Hosting immediately to cancel said services. |
| 24. SUBSCRIPTION-BASED AND THIRD-PARTY LICENSE SERVICES |
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including without limitation any termination or cancellation provisions, certain services provided by Warp Speed Hosting that are subject to fixed-term, non-cancelable commitments imposed by third-party providers, including but not limited to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and similar licensed services ("Committed License Services"), are sold on a fixed-term, non-cancelable basis once provisioned. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Warp Speed Hosting enters into binding commitments with upstream providers for such Committed License Services, and accordingly, Customer shall be responsible for all fees associated with the full subscription term selected, regardless of actual usage, early termination, non-use, suspension of services, or end-customer payment status. Warp Speed Hosting shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether a service constitutes a Committed License Service based on the applicable third-party provider's terms. Committed License Services shall automatically renew for successive terms equal to the then-current subscription term (including any renewal or modified term) unless Customer provides written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term. Failure to provide timely notice shall result in automatic renewal and continuation of all applicable charges for the full renewal term. No cancellations, reductions in quantity, or downgrades shall be permitted during an active subscription term, and no refunds, credits, or prorations shall be issued for unused time or early termination. Customer acknowledges that Committed License Services are provided through third-party providers and agrees to comply with all applicable third-party terms, conditions, policies, and agreements, including without limitation the Microsoft Customer Agreement, Microsoft Product Terms, Microsoft Service Level Agreements, Google Workspace terms, and other applicable licensing and service terms, as published or updated from time to time by such providers, including but not limited to: https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/customeragreement https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicelevelagreements Customer agrees that continued use of the services constitutes acceptance of such updated third-party terms. Warp Speed Hosting does not control and is not responsible for the performance, availability, functionality, or terms of such third-party services and shall not be liable for any outages, disruptions, data loss, service changes, or other issues arising from or related to such third-party providers. Customer further acknowledges that Warp Speed Hosting remains solely responsible to its upstream providers for all Committed License Service commitments, and that Customer's obligations under this Agreement are intended to mirror and pass through such commitments, regardless of Customer's use of the services or payment status of any third party. |
| 25. MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDER SERVICES |
|
Warp Speed Hosting may provide administrative, configuration, support, and related services ("Managed Services") for third-party platforms including, but not limited to, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, such Managed Services are limited to reasonable administrative support, account configuration, license management, and general troubleshooting assistance, and are provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis without any guaranteed response times, resolution times, or service level commitments.
