Drizzle (Drizzle) provides its Internet
services, as they may exist from time to time (Services), to users
who pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Services (Members)
as well as to those who access some of our Services but do not have
accounts (Visitors). By establishing an account or using the
Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and to use the
Services in compliance with this Agreement, Drizzle's Acceptable Use
Policy, and other policies that may apply by utilizing any service
provided by Drizzle or its upstream network providers.
By accessing and using the Domain Hosting, co-location and
electronic commerce services and associated software of Drizzle, you
(Customer) indicate the acceptance of the following terms and
conditions and you agree to be bound by them. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE
TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE Drizzle Domain
Hosting AND ELECTRONIC COMMERCE SERVICES or associated software and
promptly return any materials distributed directly by Drizzle.
- 2. The Agreement
-
This agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of
the agreement between you and Drizzle with respect to the Drizzle Domain
Hosting and electronic commerce services and associated software and
SUPERSEDES ANY PROPOSAL OR PRIOR AGREEMENT, oral or written, and any
other communications relating to the subject matter of this
agreement.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein, Drizzle and Customer agree as follows:
-
All orders are subject to acceptance by Drizzle. An order will be
deemed accepted by Drizzle when Drizzle sends written confirmation of
the order to Customer.
-
Drizzle shall charge Customer's credit card for the applicable
set-up fees and monthly fees according to the Package(s) (as
defined on our webpage) selected by Customer and provided by
Drizzle. Such fees and charges shall include, without limitation,
the fees for connectivity, design services, and charges by any
and all third parties whose materials are included as part of
the Package(s). Drizzle reserves the right to change the amount
of, or basis for determining, any fees or charges and institute
new fees and charges upon prior notice to Customer.
Customer may elect to pay by either check or credit card. If by
credit card Customer must provide Drizzle with a credit card
authorization form and valid credit card number to which Drizzle
will automatically charge all Drizzle fees as they become due. All
monthly fees and set-up fees shall be due in advance of the
month incurred and all additional charges shall be due at the
end of the month in which such charges are incurred.
Except as provided in Section 3, the set-up fees are
nonrefundable and Drizzle does not issue pro rata refunds for fees
paid in advance. If payment by Customer's credit card is
denied, or Customer's charge is returned to Drizzle for any
reason, including charge back or Customer otherwise fails to
make any payments owing to Drizzle, Drizzle may, at Drizzle's
discretion, suspend or terminate access to the Drizzle Services
and/or terminate this Agreement.
Customer's rights to use the Drizzle Services are subject to any
limits established by Drizzle or by the issuer of Customer's
credit card. Interest charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest
rate permitted by law if lower than 1.5% per month) will accrue
daily on any unpaid balance, which is more than thirty (30)
days overdue. Customer shall be responsible for any and all
taxes related to this Agreement.
- 3. Drizzle Services
-
During the term of this Agreement, Drizzle may provide software
services to Customer depending on the Package(s) accepted by
Customer. "Package" means one of Drizzle business and/or electronic
commerce service offerings, as can be found on Drizzle's Web site at
www.drizzle.com. The specific Package to be provided to Customer shall
be established by correspondence between Drizzle and Customer. Such
Package(s) shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this
Agreement, as if fully set forth herein. Drizzle and Customer shall
retain copies of such Package(s) for future reference.
At Customer's request, Drizzle will acquire an Internet Second-Level
Domain Name from the Contracted Registrar on behalf of Customer.
Customer's request for and/or acceptance of a Domain Name obtained
by Drizzle shall in all cases constitute Customer's waiver of any and
all claims which Customer may have, or which may later arise,
against Drizzle or its third party providers, for any and all damages,
losses, claims or expenses arising or related to the acquisition,
registration and/or use of the Domain Name. Any cost incurred by
Drizzle to obtain and/or maintain the Domain Name on behalf of
Customer shall be charged to Customer. Request for and acceptance
of a domain name requires Drizzle to supply the domain name to the
Contracted Registrar, which in turns supplies the Domain Name to
third parties.
- 4. Limited 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
-
Drizzle offers a thirty (30) day money back guarantee on each
Package(s). If Customer is not completely satisfied with the Drizzle
Services provided under such Package(s) within the first thirty (30)
days, Customer may cancel this Agreement by notifying Drizzle by
following the contact information listed in Section 8. In such
case, Customer will receive a full refund of any amounts paid
pursuant to this Agreement, except for set-up fees, which are
nonrefundable. After the initial thirty (30) day period, the Drizzle
Services shall be deemed accepted for all purposes, provided no
written claim has been received by Drizzle within such thirty (30) day
period.
- 5. Third Party Providers
-
In order to access and use the Drizzle Services, Customer may be
required to subscribe to other Drizzle services offered under separate
agreements, including, but not limited to, the Drizzle Internet Access
Agreement. This Agreement does not in any way modify the terms of
such agreements. In addition, Customer acknowledges that in order
to access certain of the Drizzle Services, Customer may have to agree
to and execute agreements with third party providers who may charge
Customer fees and charges which are in addition to the fees and
charges imposed by Drizzle.
- 6. Rules and Regulations
