Before we can establish your account, we must receive the necessary payment for the Services selected and be able to verify your account information. It is sole your responsibility to provide us with an active email address. If there are issues with your account, we will always contact you at this ancillary email address. It is your sole responsibility to make sure you maintain and monitor this email address. EZWeb reserves the right to immediately terminate your account if you provide false contact information of any kind.

You will immediately notify EZWeb of any unauthorized use of your password. You acknowledge that if you wish to protect your transmission of Your Files to EZWeb, it is your responsibility to use a secure encrypted connection to communicate with the Services.

Free Accounts

EZWeb offers Free Accounts on an “as-is” basis at our sole discretion. You understand that Free Accounts have limited storage, usage, and functionality limits and that if you want to remove such limitations, you will have to get a Paid Account. You understand that only a single Free Account will be granted for a given domain address. EZWeb has no duty to provide Free Accounts and has no liability to you if you cannot obtain one or if we terminate your Free Account prior to the normal expiration of the given time period for Free Account.

Paid Accounts

You are responsible for selecting the appropriate type for the Paid Account (“Paid Account Type”) that best suits your needs. Based upon your Paid Account Type, you will have access to different functionalities of the Services as well as different limitations. You understand that each Paid Account Type has usage limits that if exceeded, may require you to pay additional fees for such excessive use (“Excessive Use Fees”). You may change your Paid Account Type at any time, but any changes to your Paid Account Type will not become effective until your next billing cycle. Also, you agree that we will not change your Paid Account Type until you pay any outstanding fees due on your account.

Paid Account Usage and Storage Limits

Each Paid Account Type offers varying account usage thresholds so that you can pay based upon your projected usage level. EZWeb enforces account usage thresholds to the extent necessary to insure that you are paying based upon your ongoing actual usage level. Also, we generally offer unlimited storage thresholds for our Paid Accounts. However, if you exceed your account usage threshold for 2 consecutive months or in extreme cases of severely high storage use, EZWeb reserves the right to automatically upgrade your Paid Account Type to a higher level of package or simply bill you for Excessive Use Fees, at our sole discretion.

White Labeled Domain Option

EzWeb also offers you the ability to add a White Labeled Domain option to your Paid Account Type. By using this option, you can make your website appear to have the Services directly associated with your website domain. However, you understand that Your Files are still hosted on EzWeb servers and that all functionality remains on EzWeb servers. You understand that you are solely responsible for maintaining current domain information with EzWeb and that EzWeb is in no way liable for interruptions in Services due to your failure to do so. You understand that you are still subject to the usage thresholds and storage limitations associated with your underlying Paid Account Type.

EZWeb’s acceptance of partial payment does not relieve you of the duty to pay the remaining balance.

No Refunds or Charge-backs

You agree that EZWeb offers no refunds for Services and all payments for Services are final. Furthermore, you shall not institute any form or charge-back for any fees paid to us, unless you have been the victim of identity theft and provide us with a valid police report.

Collection Fees

You agree that should EZWeb have to institute collection proceedings to recover past due amounts under this Agreement, you will pay for the costs of such collection including reasonable attorney’s fees.
