All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service) of SSNW.NET and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that changes 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 Nevada, county of Clark, applicable to contracts enforceable in that state. Venue will be Clark County, Nevada

Note: Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on any SSNW.NET Internet Services servers. 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 SSNW.NET Internet Services servers or any other server on the internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

  1. 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 SSNW.NET shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 SSNW.NET.
  4. Payments and Fees: Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a $10.00 declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 10 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $20.00 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to a $5.00 late fee. Accounts that are not collectable by SSNW.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.
  5. Refund and Disputes: All payments to SSNW.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 SSNW.NET's sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and/or AUP, you agree to pay SSNW.NET an "Administrative Fee" of not less than $20 and not more than $150.
  6. 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.
  7. Account Cancellation: Request for termination of user accounts can be made through the SSNW.NET Customer Control Panel. Termination requests received will take effect immediately. That means you're not required to pay for your web hosting plan fee for that month. If a termination request is received after the fee has been charged in the current month, (which is not refundable), that means starting from then end of that month you'll not be charged for a web hosting fee. Subscription fees for additional services such as added space and bandwidth transfer will be charged for the entire month regardless of when the request for their termination is received, if they have already been billed.
  8. 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.
  9. New Domains: Payment made for domain registration will not be refundable in all cases, including those that involve mistakes committed by any persons, SSNW.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.
  10. Transfer of Domains: New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from another provider to SSNW.NET will require a minimum of seven (7) days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers 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 specific transfer may take.
  11. Support Boundaries: SSNW.NET provides 24 x 7 technical support to our subscribers (except for few holidays and short company meetings) We limit our technical support to our area of expertise.
