Account Holder agrees to abide by the following provisions of this service contract and agrees to abide by any additional provisions notified to Account Holder or posted on the web site by EIT, covering this agreement and/or any future services added to this agreement. If Account Holder refuses to accept any future additional provisions, Account Holder will have the option to cancel services and receive a pro-rated refund of any moneys pre-paid for this agreement.  The pro-rated amount will be calculated after the normal monthly cost for the service has been deducted from any amounts pre-paid by Account Holder.

  7. In the event of any dispute as to the rightful ownership of a domain, such as partnership break-up, divorce or other legal problems that include the Account Holder, Account Holder understands EIT will remain neutral and may even put the account on hold, until the dispute has been resolved. Under no circumstances will EIT be liable for any losses incurred by Account Holder during this time of determination of rightful ownership.  
  8. This Agreement may be terminated by EIT at any time without prior notice and without cause. If either party is in default under this Agreement (including nonpayment), then the non-defaulting party may also immediately terminate the Agreement without prior notice to the other party.  EIT may suspend at any time without prior notice any account more than 30 days overdue.
  9. The Account Holder agrees to give 30 days notice to terminate this agreement.  If the agreement is not terminated by the Account Holder at least 30 days prior to the server renewal date, EIT will continue server provision and charge the Account Holder's account for the renewal premium at the previous or currently published price, whichever is the higher.  Should payment for the renewal be refused by the Account Holder or his credit card company EIT will invoice the Account Holder.   If payment is still not received within 14 days EIT may suspend or terminate the Account Holder's service.  EIT is not obliged to renew the registration of domain names until all outstanding server renewal charges have been paid.  Any domain redemption charges or other additional cost incurred by EIT in connection with late or non payment of server renewal charges are payable by the Account Holder.

  11. The Virtual Web Server Internet account and related electronic services can only be used for legal purposes under all international, federal, state and local laws.

  14. Account Holder understands this service is provided on a shared server. This means that one website cannot overwhelm the server with heavy CPU usage from highly active CGI scripts or chat scripts.

If your website overwhelms the server and causes complaints from the other users, you will have outgrown the realm of a shared server and you will need to re-locate your website. EIT will refund any moneys paid for unused time of service remaining.
  15. Each Web Server hosted with EIT is allocated 10Gb of data transfer (bandwidth) per calendar month.  Where the 10Gb limit is exceeded during the month,  additional data transfer is charged at £ 20 per Gb or part thereof. Accrued additional bandwidth charges will be invoiced monthly in arrears.

If at any time, Account Holder breaches any part of this contract and EIT has to engage the services of a lawyer, the Account Holder will pay any and all of EIT’s reasonable legal  fees and court costs.

    Due to the public nature of the Internet, all material submitted by Account Holder for publication will be considered publicly accessible. EIT does not screen in advance Account Holder's material submitted to EIT for publication. EIT's publication of material submitted by Account Holder does not create any express or implied approval by EIT of such material, nor does it indicate that such material complies with the terms of this Agreement.  Any violation of the above conditions will result in termination of Account Holder's account.
