of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable.

Termination. This Agreement may
be terminated: (i) by you or Rebel Networks during any Renewal Term,
without cause, by giving the other party 30 days prior written notice;
(ii) by Rebel Networks in the event of nonpayment by you as provided
in Section 1.4 below; and (iii) by Server Beach, at any time, without
notice, if, in Rebel Networks's sole judgment, you are in violation
of any terms or conditions of the AUP. If you terminate this Agreement,
or if Rebel Networks terminates this Agreement for your breach,
before the end of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, whichever
is then applicable, you will be required to pay immediately all
fees and costs accrued before the termination date, all monthly
recurring fees for each month remaining in the term and any other
amounts you owe to Rebel Networks under this Agreement.
Charges. You will pay all charges for
your use of the Services at the then current Rebel Networks prices.
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 Rebel Networks's
net income.
Payment. You will pay all charges for
the first month of service in advance on the first day of the Initial
Term. You will pay all subsequent charges for Services in advance
on the aniversary day of each month according to the then current
price for the Services." You must pay for the Services by credit
card, unless otherwise agreed to prior. You authorize Rebel Networks

changes to your card account (including, applicable account number
or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address,
or any information that may prohibit Rebel Networks from charging
your account. Your failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within

and costs accrued before the termination date, all monthly recurring
fees for each month remaining in the term and any other amounts

Use of Services.
Acceptable Use Policies. The AUP governs the general policies
and procedures for use of the Services. The AUP is posted on the
site at (or such other location as Rebel Networks may specify) and
may be updated from time to time. BY USING
THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THE AUP AND

Domain Names. Upon registering
your domain name, you are bound by the terms of the registration
service's then current domain name policy and the policies of the
national DNS registration authorities. Rebel Networks will not refund
any fees you paid with respect to the registration of a domain name
you are unable to use. All new web hosting accounts involving new
domains will be set up and entered into our DNS servers within 3
to 5 business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this
process may sometimes require up to 7 business days. If the new
domain is registered by you, there will be no handling fee. If the
domain is registered by Rebel Networks on your behalf a handling
fee will be incurred. New web hosting accounts which involve the
transfer of a domain from another provider to Rebel Networks 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. If the transfer of the domain is done by Rebel Networks
on your behalf, a handling fee will be incurred. If you cancel service
during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered
earned.

For shared Hosting Accounts you are solely responsible for any security
breaches affecting servers or accounts under your control. If your
site is responsible for or involved in an attack on or unauthorized
access into another server or system, Rebel Networks will shut it
down immediately. You will pay any charges resulting from the cost
to correct security breaches affecting Rebel Networks or any of
its other customers. For Self Managed, Semi Managed, and Fully Managed
