IMPORTANT NOTICE: *All Payments To DraftResource.net Are

DraftResource.net ("The Company") agrees to furnish
services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of
Service).
Use of DraftResource.net Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to
DraftResource.net's AUP as
well as DraftResource.net's TOS (Terms of Service).
All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service)
of DraftResource.net and AUP
(Acceptable Use Policy).
The AUP may be changed from
time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that
change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract
termination or non-payment.
This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with
the laws of the state of Texas, county of Harris applicable to contracts
enforceable in that state. Venue will be Harris County, Texas
Note: Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited
on any DraftResource.net server. This includes sites that may infer sexual
content, or links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites
that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to
DraftResource.net servers or any other server on the internet. Links to
such materials are also prohibited. All IRC related activities are
strictly prohibited and can be cause for immediate account termination!
Disclosure
to Law Enforcement: The AUP
specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities.
Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company may disclose any and all
subscriber information including assigned IP numbers, account history,
account use, etc. to any law enforcement agent who makes a written
request without further consent or notification to the Subscriber. In
addition DraftResource.net shall have the right to terminate all service set
forth in
this Agreement.
Service Rates:
Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and
the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber.
Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the
specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is
contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service
goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its
suppliers.
Payment:
Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company
of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the
anniversary date of the month for that month's service. The above
applies to all accounts and services provided by DraftResource.net.
Payments and Fees:
Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a $1.00
declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 10
days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a
$10.00 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to a
$5.00 late fee. Accounts that are not collectable by DraftResource.net may be
turned
over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is
turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a "Processing
and Collection" Fee of not less than $20 nor more than $150. If you
desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure to do
this as outlined in this TOS.
Refund and Disputes:
All payments to DraftResource.net are nonrefundable. This includes the one time
setup
fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or
billing disputes must be reported within 60 days of the time the
dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer
that, in DraftResource.net's sole discretion is a valid charge under the
provisions
of the TOS and/or AUP, you agree to pay DraftResource.net an
"Administrative Fee" of
not less than $20 and not more than $150.
Failure to Pay:
The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement
upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such
termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for
the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any
collection fees.
Account Cancellation:
Request for termination of user accounts can be made through the
DraftResource.net
Customer Control Panel. Termination requests received will take effect
immediately, that means you're not required to pay for web hosting plan
fee for that month, if termination request is received after the fee
charged in that month, which is not refundable, that means starting
from following month you'll not be charged for web hosting fee.
Subscription fees for additional services such as added space and
bandwidth transfer will be charged for the entire month regardless of
whether the request for their termination is received prior to the
effecting of the said services.
Subscriber
acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service
can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the
company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are
difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that the company
shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the
direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further
acknowledges that the company's liability for its own negligence may
not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by
subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event
shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages,
loss or injury.
New Domains:
Payment made for domain registration will not be refundable in all
cases, including those that involve mistakes committed by any persons,
DraftResource.net staff or not, at any stage of the domain registration process.
A
confirmation e-mail will be sent to registrants within 24 hours of the
submission of the domain name purchase order.
Transfer of Domains:
New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from
another provider to DraftResource.net will require a minimum of seven (7) days
to be

may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the
transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a
