CrankyNerds may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and any policy or guideline incorporated by reference, at any time in its sole discretion and may also determine whether and when the modifications apply to existing or future clients. Any modifications are effective upon posting of the revisions on the CrankyNerds Web site located at https://www.CrankyNerds.net/ (the "Site"). CrankyNerds will post a notice of modifications to this Agreement on the Site for 30 days. CrankyNerds may post modifications to referenced policies and guidelines without notice to you. Your continued use of the Services following CrankyNerds's posting of any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the modifications.
This Agreement will be for an "Initial Term" of either: (a) thirty (30) days if you register for monthly services payments, (b) as otherwise chosen by you in the Electronic Order Form, located on the Site, at the time you register for the Services, or (c) as otherwise chosen by you on the Order Form and Term Services, executed in writing or by facsimile, at the time you register for the Services directly with CrankyNerds or a CrankyNerds representative. This Agreement will be automatically renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term for the same period as the Initial Term, unless you provide CrankyNerds with notice of termination either: (a) at least seven (7) days before the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable, if you registered for and are receiving Services on a monthly basis, or (b) at least thirty (30) days before the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable, if you registered for and are receiving Services or have pre-paid for Services on either a quarterly, semi-annually, annually or greater basis.
If you terminate the Services before the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable: (a) CrankyNerds will not refund to you for any fees paid in advance of termination, and (b) you will be required to pay the remainder of all charges remaining in the term, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. You must submit your termination request for the Services by logging in to your account and submitting a Tech Support Ticket (URL: httpss://www.CrankyNerds.net/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=1). Due to the secure nature of our Services, cancellations by phone, e-mail, or without adequate demonstration of right to cancel will be deemed invalid. You may also manage your service by logging in to your account where you will find an automated cancellation option for any applicable services.
CrankyNerds may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by with or without prior written notice of termination. If CrankyNerds terminates this Agreement, CrankyNerds will refund to you the pro-rata portion of pre-paid fees attributable to Services not yet rendered within one week following the date of termination, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
CrankyNerds may immediately and without prior notice terminate this Agreement upon a violation by you of CrankyNerds's Acceptable Use and Service Policy or upon a violation by you of CrankyNerds's Abuse Policy; and CrankyNerds may terminate this Agreement immediately if, after fifteen (15) days prior notice to you, you have failed to correct any breach of this Agreement.
Upon any termination in accordance with Section 1.2.1 or 1.2.2, CrankyNerds may permit you forty-eight (48) hours to download or otherwise copy any of your information and data residing on CrankyNerds's facilities prior to removing such information and data from CrankyNerds's facilities. Upon termination by CrankyNerds under Section 1.2.3, CrankyNerds may immediately remove all of your data and information from CrankyNerds's facilities and you shall have no right to copy or download such data or information, and, in such event, all such information and data, including all copyrighted or copyrightable material therein, shall then become the property of CrankyNerds. In cases where your account has been cancelled, and you are requesting reactivation, CrankyNerds, at it's option, may reactivate the same account, only if the account had been cancelled less than three (3) days prior. After three (3) days, you will be required to set up a new account.
If the Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason, CrankyNerds is not liable to you because of the expiration or termination for compensation, reimbursement or damages on account of the loss of prospective profits, anticipated sales, goodwill or on account of expenditures, investments, leases or commitments in connection with your business, or for any other reason whatsoever flowing from the termination or expiration. If you terminate this Agreement, CrankyNerds will not relieve you of any obligations to pay fees and costs accrued before the termination date or any other amounts you owe to CrankyNerds under this Agreement. In cases where we have provided equipment to you, you must, at your own expense, return all CrankyNerds equipment within ten (10) days of the date of notification of termination. Otherwise you will be financially responsible for the cost of new replacement equipment. CrankyNerds shall invoice you for such equipment, and payment will be due within thirty (30) days of invoice date.
You will pay all charges for your use of the Services at the then current CrankyNerds prices, which will be exclusive of any applicable taxes. 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 Services. CrankyNerds 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 you. You are responsible for paying all federal, state, and local sales, use, value added, excise, duty and any other taxes assessed with respect to the Services, other than taxes based on CrankyNerds's net income.
You will pay all charges for Services in advance according to the then current price for the Services, or any fixed price as agreed to in the applicable Electronic Order Form or Term Hosting Service Agreement. When registering for Services electronically, you must choose to pay for the Services by credit card. Your election to pay by credit card hereby duly authorizes CrankyNerds to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that may apply to your account. CrankyNerds may elect, at its option, accumulate any supplemental charges, as described in the Electronic Order Form, that you incur in your use of the Services ("Supplemental Charges") until the charges exceed $20 and then charge your card. You must notify CrankyNerds of any changes to your credit card account (including, applicable account number changes or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address, or any information that may prohibit CrankyNerds from charging your account.
Your failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within ten (10) days after the applicable due date is a material breach of this Agreement, justifying CrankyNerds in suspending its performance and terminating this Agreement. If CrankyNerds terminates for your material breach, you must still pay past due fees plus interest. You are responsible for any costs CrankyNerds incurs in enforcing collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and collection agency fees. If you reinstate Services, you must pay any fees associated with reinstating Services.
During the Initial Term, if you are not fully satisfied with the Services (not applicable to Term Hosting), you may elect to terminate this Agreement at any time during the first thirty (30) days from your initial order date and receive a full refund of all payments you made to CrankyNerds for the Services, except for set-up fees and domain registration fees, which are non-refundable. To receive your refund, you must terminate this Agreement in the manner described in Section 1.2.1 and immediately cease using the Services, and CrankyNerds must receive your termination notice within the 30-day period. In addition to the requirements specified in Section 1.2.1 for cancellation, your notice must further describe why you are not satisfied with the Services. Add-on Backup Services, Firewall Services, Load Balancing Services, and Term Hosting Services are not covered under the provisions of this Section 1.6, and are not subject to a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
From time to time CrankyNerds may impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding the use of the CrankyNerds Services. Such rules, covenants and restrictions are called acceptable use and service policies and are posted on the Site at https://www.CrankyNerds.net/aup/ and abuse polices posted on the Site at https://www.CrankyNerds.net/abuse. All such acceptable use and service policies and abuse policies are incorporated by reference into this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. The CrankyNerds Acceptable Use and Service Policy (the "aup") governs the general policies and procedures for use of the Services. The CrankyNerds Abuse Policy governs how CrankyNerds responds to specific instances of abuse and defines such instances of abuse. CrankyNerds's Privacy Policy governs how CrankyNerds collects, stores, processes and uses information associated with your use of the Services. The Privacy Policy is posted on the Site at https://www.CrankyNerds.net/privacy and may be updated from time-to-time.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE aup AND ABUSE POLICY. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THE aup AND ABUSE POLICY AND ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE TERMS. CrankyNerds MAY TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT FOR ANY VIOLATION OF THE aup, THE ABUSE POLICY OR THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1.2.3 HEREIN.
You must ensure that all material and data placed on CrankyNerds's equipment is in a condition that is "server-ready," which is in a form requiring no additional manipulation by CrankyNerds. CrankyNerds will make no effort to validate any of this information for content, correctness or usability. If your material is not "server-ready", CrankyNerds may reject this material. CrankyNerds will notify you of its refusal of the material and afford you the opportunity to modify the material to satisfy CrankyNerds's requirements. Use of the Services requires a certain level of knowledge in the use of Internet languages, protocols and software. This level of knowledge varies depending on the anticipated use and desired content of your Web site. You must have the necessary knowledge to create and maintain a Web site.
CrankyNerds also provides website design and development services via the Internet and other platforms through CrankyNerds Internet website (https://www.CrankyNerds.net/). Clients interested in utilizing these custom services should contact CrankyNerds directly at that website.
For Services, you will not exceed the bandwidth, data storage, database and E-mail usage limits specified on the Electronic Order Form at the time you registered for the Services. If you use any bandwidth, database or data storage space in excess of the agreed upon number of megabytes per month or if you exceed E-Mail storage and attachment size limitations, CrankyNerds may, at its sole discretion, assess you with additional charges, suspend the Service, or terminate this Agreement. If CrankyNerds elects to take any corrective action, CrankyNerds will not refund any unused pre-paid fees. Your use of your account and access to it is your responsibility. You are responsible for any unauthorized access to your account resulting in bandwidth, storage and/or E-mail usage exceeding the limits in the Order Form and resultant charges.
As part of the Services, you will provide CrankyNerds with a registered domain name or names, or CrankyNerds will register domain name(s) you select if the domain name is available for registration and does not violate any contracted registrar's policies, or any law or regulation. You will promptly pay CrankyNerds for any fees associated with Domain Name registration as specified on the Order Form(s). Your request for and/or acceptance of a domain name obtained by CrankyNerds shall in all cases constitute your waiver of any and all claims which you may have, or which may later arise, against CrankyNerds or its third party providers, for any and all damages, losses, claims or expenses arising our or related to the acquisition, registration and/or use of the domain name. Any cost incurred by CrankyNerds to obtain and/or maintain the domain name on your behalf shall be charged to you. Request for and acceptance of a domain name requires CrankyNerds to supply the domain name to a contracted registrar, which in turns supplies the domain name to third parties.
If any dispute or cause of action arises out of or is related to your domain name used in connection with the Services, then upon your request, CrankyNerds will attempt to register with a contracted registrar an alternative domain name you chose. Upon registering your domain name, you are bound by the terms of contract registrar's then current domain name policy and the policies of the national DNS registration authorities. CrankyNerds will not refund any fees you paid with respect to the registration of a domain name you are unable to use.
In the event that you elect to have CrankyNerds act as your managing agent for DNS, you agree to designate our administrator's as the Technical Contact on the Domain Registration Record for the duration of time that CrankyNerds is responsible for ongoing DNS management. If you elect to perform DNS management through another responsible party or on your own, you are not required to specify CrankyNerds as the Technical Contact on the Domain Registration Record.

CrankyNerds may modify the Services at any time for any reason and may provide modified versions of the Services to you.
You grant to CrankyNerds a non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license for the Initial Term and the Renewal Term, if applicable, to edit, modify, adapt, translate, exhibit, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer of, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, and otherwise use your content as necessary for the purposes of rendering and operating the Services to you under this Agreement.

All materials, including any computer software (in object code and source code form), data or information that CrankyNerds or its suppliers or agents develop or provide under this Agreement, and any know-how, methodologies, equipment, or processes CrankyNerds uses to provide the Services to you, including all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and any other proprietary rights inherent therein and appurtenant thereto will remain CrankyNerds's or its suppliers' sole and exclusive property. You further agree not to translate, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, reproduce, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, distribute, remarket or otherwise dispose of any portion of the CrankyNerds Services.

CrankyNerds may, in its sole discretion, change or remove any and all IP numbers and addresses.
CrankyNerds may investigate any reported violation of this Agreement, or its policies or any complaints and take any action that it deems appropriate and reasonable under the circumstance to protect its systems, facilities, clients or third parties. CrankyNerds will not access or review the contents of any e-mail or similar stored electronic communications except as required or permitted by applicable law or legal process.
CrankyNerds may restrict or remove from its servers any content that violates this Agreement or related policies or guidelines, or is otherwise objectionable or potentially infringing on any third party's rights or that potentially violates any laws. If CrankyNerds becomes aware that you have possibly violated this Agreement, any related policies or guidelines, third party rights or laws, CrankyNerds may immediately take corrective action, including: (a) issuing warnings, (b) suspending or terminating the Service, (c) restricting or prohibiting any and all uses of content hosted on CrankyNerds's systems, and (d) disabling or removing any hypertext links to third-party Web sites, any of your content distributed or made available for distribution via the Services, or other content not supplied by CrankyNerds that, in CrankyNerds's sole discretion, may violate or infringe any law or third-party rights or that otherwise exposes or potentially exposes CrankyNerds to civil or criminal liability or public ridicule. It is CrankyNerds's policy to terminate repeat infringers. These rights of action, however, do not obligate CrankyNerds to monitor or exert editorial control over the information made available for distribution via the Services. If CrankyNerds takes corrective action because of a possible violation, CrankyNerds will not refund to you any fees you paid in advance of the corrective action.
To comply with applicable laws and lawful governmental requests, to protect CrankyNerds's systems and clients, or to ensure the integrity and operation of CrankyNerds's business and systems, CrankyNerds may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate, including, user profile information (i.e., name, e-mail address, etc.), IP addresses and traffic information, usage history, and content residing on CrankyNerds's servers and systems. CrankyNerds may report any activity that it suspects violates any law or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other appropriate third parties. To the extent any inconsistency exists between any terms of CrankyNerds's Privacy Policy and CrankyNerds's right to disclose under this section, CrankyNerds's right to disclose under this section will control.
CrankyNerds exercises no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content of the information passing through CrankyNerds's host computers, network switches, network hubs and points of presence, or the Internet. ALL SERVICES PERFORMED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PERFORMED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY AGAINST FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE INCLUDING, ANY FAILURE BECAUSE OF COMPUTER HARDWARE OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS.

IN NO EVENT WILL CrankyNerds OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, OR ALTERATION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF INFORMATION DISTRIBUTED OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION VIA THE SERVICES THROUGH ACCIDENT, FRAUDULENT MEANS OR DEVICES. NEITHER CrankyNerds NOR ITS SUPPLIERS WILL HAVE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO CrankyNerds'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR OTHERWISE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES EVEN IF CrankyNerds HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE DAMAGES. THE LIABILITY OF CrankyNerds AND ITS SUPPLIERS TO YOU FOR ANY REASON AND UPON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO CrankyNerds UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE 3 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE CLAIM ACCRUED. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE AGGREGATE, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATIONS, AND OTHER TORTS. THE FEES FOR THE SERVICES SET BY CrankyNerds UNDER THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE BASED UPON THIS ALLOCATION OF RISK.

Therefore, CrankyNerds does not warrant, and is not responsible for (even if caused by the negligence of CrankyNerds) any loss of data, delays, non-delivery or mis-delivery of information, lack of access, slows response time, or service interruptions or errors. Loss, delay or non-delivery of data can be due to but not limited to CrankyNerds's own negligence, viruses or other third parties. Your data is defined as any data held by CrankyNerds and includes account information, web hosting data, email and domain name services. This disclaimer and waiver shall apply equally to any and all third party providers. CrankyNerds provides no warranty to client regarding the accuracy of usage statistics, which CrankyNerds may provide in its discretion. Further, no advice or information given by a CrankyNerds representative shall create a warranty or serve as an amendment to this agreement.
CrankyNerds, as a practice, strives to provide you with the greatest possible uptime and performance for the Services. Due to the nature of the Internet and networking technology and equipment, it is not always possible for CrankyNerds to guarantee the availability of your website or servers. In an effort to ensure, however, that you receive the value and promises that you have paid for, CrankyNerds has created a service level agreement for all classes of service (Shared, Virtual Private and Dedicated Hosting) which you hereby agree to incorporate as if fully set forth herein.
