This Service Agreement ('Agreement') is a legal agreement made by and between Macs R We dba wickenburg.us ('Mailhost'), and you, either an individual or a single legal entity, (and also binding your heirs, assigns, agents, successors, and contractors) (collectively, 'You') and is effective upon electronic execution or as further provided herein.  This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions governing Your use of Mailhost's systems and services.  You must accept the terms of this Agreement before using Mailhost provided systems or services.  If You do not agree to the terms of the Agreement, You are not authorized to use Mailhost's systems or services, and You must, without a grace period, cease any use or access of Mailhost's systems and services.  Unauthorized use or access of Mailhost's systems or services may subject You to civil and criminal sanctions.

By clicking “I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE WITH THE TERMS” AND CONDITIONS" when presented to You during the ordering process, or by Your continued use of Mailhost-provided systems, software, or services, You indicate and acknowledge that You have read and understood, and that You agree to be bound by, all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, along with any new, different or additional terms, conditions or policies which Mailhost may establish from time to time. You may view the latest version of this Agreement at any time at http://wickenburg.us/terms.html.

1. TERM OF AGREEMENT

The term of this Agreement will commence upon Your acceptance of this Agreement (as provided above), and shall continue in full force and effect as long as Mailhost is providing services to You.  This Agreement shall be unlimited as to amount or duration.

You agree that You will be responsible for notifying Mailhost should You desire to terminate this Agreement.  Notice of Your intent to terminate must be provided to Mailhost no later than 5 (five) business days prior to Your billing date, described below.

Mailhost may terminate this Agreement by giving You notice 5 (five) business days before the intended termination date.  Mailhost may further terminate this Agreement without prior notice, and take appropriate technical measures to effect such termination, in case of Your failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, or in other exceptional cases further detailed herein.

Upon termination of this Agreement, the limited right to use granted herein will terminate, and You agree to immediately discontinue Your use of Mailhost's provided systems and services.

2. FEES

As consideration for the limited right to use certain Mailhost provided systems and services, You agree to pay Mailhost an annual, non-refundable fee. Your annual billing date will be determined based on the date You accepted this Agreement. You pay by providing Mailhost's billing agent ('PayPal') a valid credit card or another honored form of payment.  If for any reason Your payment is dishonored, or if Mailhost is charged back for any fee it previously charged to the credit card You provided, You agree that Mailhost may pursue all available remedies in order to obtain payment.

In the absence of notification from You, Mailhost may automatically continue providing the same or equivalent systems and services indefinitely, and PayPal will charge the credit card You have on file with them, at Mailhost's then-current rates.  It is Your responsibility to keep Your credit card information current, including the expiration date.  In the event You terminate, moving Your files or data off Mailhost systems is solely Your responsibility.  Absent separate agreement and payment of related charges, Mailhost will not transfer or FTP Your files or data to another service provider.

Without limiting anything herein, Mailhost reserves the right to change its fees in the future.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

Mailhost's systems and services, by design, perform a variety of communications over the Internet as part of their normal operations, including sending unencrypted, or unsecured, or encrypted, or secured, text or data.  By using Mailhost's systems or services, You consent to such communications and agree that You are solely responsible for supplying Your own Internet access and for paying any telecommunications or other connectivity charges incurred through Your use of Mailhost's systems or services.  You agree that Mailhost has the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to review, inspect, or examine any data transmitted to or via Mailhost's systems, software, or services, for the protection of Mailhost's systems, software, or services, or for any purpose whatsoever.

Mailhost does not grant to You any express or implied licenses or rights to any enabling technologies or systems that may be necessary to use Mailhost's systems, software, or services. 

You understand and agree that Mailhost may update its systems, software, or services at any time, but is under no obligation to inform You of or furnish to You any such updates.  This Agreement does not grant You any right, license or interest in or to any support, maintenance, improvements, modifications, enhancements, or updates to the systems, software, or services.  To the extent that Mailhost supplies any updates to You, such updates will be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement unless Mailhost indicates otherwise.

4. NONEXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Mailhost grants to You a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use, but not the right to resell, certain services You have selected and for which the appropriate fee has been collected.  Mailhost reserves the right to provide same, similar, or different services for others, including to persons or entities in competition with You, before, during, or after the term of this Agreement.

Mailhost makes no commitment to You about the performance, availability, or proper operation of any of Mailhost's systems, software, or services, and may immediately discontinue its provision or operation of such systems, software, or services to You at any time without notice.

MAILHOST'S SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO YOU “AS IS”.  MAILHOST EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATIONS, AND ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY OF INFORMATIONAL CONTENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS,  AND ANY WARRANTIES AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF Mailhost'S SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES.

MAILHOST REASONABLY BELIEVES THAT ITS SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AND TESTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY SHOULD NOT GENERATE ANY INVALID AND/OR INCORRECT DATE-RELATED RESULTS OR CAUSE ANY OF THE PROBLEMS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS" AND SHOULD, WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR MANUAL INTERVENTION, CONTINUE TO OPERATE CONSISTENTLY, PREDICTABLY AND ACCURATELY, WHEN USED DURING ANY YEAR PRIOR TO, DURING OR AFTER THE CALENDAR YEAR 2000. HOWEVER, YOU AGREE THAT MAILHOST MAKES NO WARRANTIES TO THAT EFFECT, AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, RESPECTING THIS AGREEMENT.

YOU AGREE TO ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO, AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU RELY SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK ON, RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF MAILHOST'S SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, OR APPLICABILITY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD MAILHOST'S SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES PROVE TO HAVE DEFECTS IN ANY WAY, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEFECTS.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, MAILHOST SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND INDEMNIFICATIONS, THAT MAILHOST'S SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES, MAILHOST'S EFFORTS, OR ANY SYSTEM WITH WHICH YOU WILL USE THE SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, FULFILL ANY OF YOUR PARTICULAR PURPOSES OR NEEDS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.  YOU ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SELECTION OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS, SOFTWARE, AND HARDWARE TO ACHIEVE YOUR INTENDED RESULTS.

Some jurisdictions may not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the above disclaimer may not apply to You, in which case the duration of any such implied warranties is limited to thirty (30) days from the date You first begin the use of Mailhost's systems, software, or services, or any part thereof.  In case of breach of such implied warranties, Mailhost's sole and exclusive obligation and liability and Your sole and exclusive remedy will be, at Mailhost's sole discretion, to

  1. repair, correct, or work around any defect; or
  2. provide a reasonable substitute for the affected systems, software, or services; or
  3. terminate this Agreement and issue You a refund of any fees that You may have paid Mailhost for the use of Mailhost's systems, software, or services (if any).

12. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to release, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Mailhost and its contractors, agents, employees, offices, directors, shareholders and affiliates from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from any claim, action, proceeding, suit, or demand arising out of or related in any way to Your use or misuse of Mailhost's systems, software, or services or Your breach of this Agreement.  You further agree to promptly notify Mailhost of any such claim, action, proceeding, suit, or demand, when and as such comes to Your attention.  You further agree to actively cooperate with Mailhost in the defense and resolution of such claim, action, proceeding, suit, or demand.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL MAILHOST BE LIABLE, AND MAILHOST DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY, FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOST DATA, LOST PROFITS, OR THE LIKE, OR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATORY PROFITS), ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE ON MAILHOST PROVIDED SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, OR SERVICES, OR MAILHOST'S EFFORTS, EVEN IF SUCH PROVED TO BE DEFECTIVE, MISLEADING, OR IN CONTRAVENTION TO LAW, STATUTE, OR REGULATION, AND EVEN IF Mailhost HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR RECKLESSNESS), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY,

YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WILL MAILHOST'S ENTIRE AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY, EXCEED TWENTY U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $20.00), OR THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO MAILHOST DURING THE PRECEEDING YEAR, WHICHEVER IS MORE.  THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT SERVE TO ENLARGE THIS LIMITATION.  Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so this limitation and exclusion may not apply to You.

This limitation of liability will apply notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy set forth herein.  The warranty disclaimer and limitation of liability are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between You and Mailhost.  Mailhost would not provide the use of Mailhost's systems, software, or services to You absent such limitations.

14. MUTUAL DEFENSES

You and Mailhost mutually agree to vigorously and with all due diligence and best efforts, defend and protect this Agreement against all challenges and attacks.  You and Mailhost mutually agree to indemnify and save harmless one another and their heirs, agents, successors, assigns, and contractors, from any claim, action, liability, loss, damage or suit, arising from this Contract, save claims arising from breach of this Agreement.
