Payment Obligations

Service Fees. Client must promptly remit payment to Kentucky Computing when it is due, as outlined in the Billing FAQ. If payment or credit authorization is not received by the date due, Kentucky Computing reserves the right to remove all content from the Client's website and make it unreachable to Client.

Where an invoice is delivered to Client, Client shall remit payment to Kentucky Computing by no later than 10 days after the specified payment due date. Kentucky Computing shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement for Client's failure to make timely payments to Kentucky Computing. Certain services carry a set-up fee charged by Kentucky Computing to Client that must be paid by Client in order to have use of the Services. If Client terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4 hereunder, Client shall be responsible for any outstanding fees owed to Kentucky Computing and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by Client. Because the Services are provided on a monthly basis, unless a contract is in place, Client will be responsible for Service fees incurred each month regardless of when Client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if Client provides notice to terminate on the 15th of a particular month, Client will still owe fees for the entire month and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded. If Client has retained the Services for one (1) year and has pre-paid Kentucky Computing for such Services, refunds will be issued for any unused full month portions less one month of the Services upon Clients request. Therefore, if Client's account is canceled at any point during the one (1) year term, Client will be entitled to a refund for all but one of the full months remaining after notice given by the 25th of the preceding month.

Late Payments. Any payment not received within twenty (20) days of the invoice date, will be assessed a late fee of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, with minimum of a $5.00 fee. Customer also shall pay to Kentucky Computing all expenses incurred by Kentucky Computing in exercising any of its rights under this Agreement or applicable law with respect to a Payment Default or other breach by Customer, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees of any collection agency retained by Kentucky Computing. Late Fees will continue to accrue as long as there is an outstanding balance.

Returned Item Fee. Accounts with returned checks and/or e-checks will be assessed a $35.00 returned item fee.

Taxes. Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, any taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction and/or the delivery of Services.

Domain Names. If Client chooses to register a domain name(s) through Kentucky Computing, Client acknowledges and agrees that Client will pay a registration fee(s) to register the domain name(s) with the applicable domain name registrar. Kentucky Computing does not offer refunds for domain name registrations for any reason, including misspelling of the domain name.

Client Liability and Indemnification

The parties agree that in no event shall Kentucky Computing be liable to any third party for Client's breach or alleged breach of any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Kentucky Computing from any and all expenses, losses, liabilities, damages or third party claims resulting from Client's breach or alleged breach of any Client obligations set forth hereunder.

Term, Termination & Reinstatement

• Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Agreement shall be effective on the date you register for the Services, and shall continue in effect on a month-to-month basis unless otherwise specified by separate agreement (the "Term") unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4. Either party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other party. If Client is terminating this Agreement, Client submit a helpdesk ticket. All cancellation requests must be received by the 25th of the respective month of cancellation. Any other attempt by Client to cancel this Agreement by written or e-mail notice shall be DCNid. Sections 3 - 8 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
• If Kentucky Computing suspends a virtual account for non-payment, Client shall be allowed to re-instate Client's use of the Services within Five (5) business days of cancellation upon approval from Kentucky Computing and full payment of balances due. A reinstatement fee of $25.00 will be applied.
• If a Client terminates their account, Kentucky Computing will disable the server/account the day the client specifies the account is canceled. Kentucky Computing will not maintain an archival copy of the Clients Web site or files. It is the responsibility of the Client to remove any data off the server prior to the date provided in their cancellation notice.

Taxes

Client will pay and indemnify and hold Kentucky Computing harmless from any and all taxes associated with or arising from Client's use of the Services, including any penalties and interest and any costs associated with the collection or withholding thereof.
