Website Builder Agreement
By using the website builder services (hereinafter the "Services," defined further below), you signify your agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this Website Builder Agreement (hereinafter, the "Agreement"). This Agreement is between you, your organization (if you are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an organization), collectively referred to herein as "you" or "your" (and appropriate formatives) and Nicnames, Inc. (the "Service Provider").
- This Agreement may be modified from time to time. Modifications made to this Agreement will become effective 30 days after the modifications are posted. This Agreement shall be posted through the interface which you use to configure and/or otherwise order the Services (the "Services Interface"). You agree that you will check the terms and conditions of this Agreement periodically and that, if you no longer agree to the terms and conditions, you will stop using the Services and that you will terminate the Services as described below in Section 8.
- The Services consist of the website builder package with the specific configuration which you selected or are going to select through the Services Interface as you use the Services. You acknowledge and understand that important service limitations (including capacity matrices), pricing, the term of the Service, payment terms, and other conditions relating to the Services are conveyed through the Services Interface and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
- Each website created using the Services is built on and integrated with Service Provider’s hosting platform, and any attempt to migrate or otherwise
- Except for the content provided by you, each website created using the Services belongs to Service Provider. For the duration of your Services subscription, Service Provider grants you a personal license in each website you create using the Services. Cancellation of the Services for any reason terminates your license to each website.
- As part of the Services, you may be allowed to use certain photographs, illustrations, or other images developed, owned, or licensed by third-party providers (“Images”). The Images are neither sold nor distributed to you and you may use the Images solely as part of the Services. In addition, you may not remove, modify, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices that are contained in or on the Images, and you may not create derivative works of the Images. Service Provider has the right, at any time, at Service Provider’s sole and exclusive discretion, to remove any Image(s) from your website.
- By uploading content for your website, you grant Service Provider a nonexclusive, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free license: (i) to use the content for the purpose of including it in your website, and (ii) to display screenshots of any website created using the Services, in marketing materials, or in other manners as determined by Service Provider in its sole discretion. You represent and warrant that: (y) you have all necessary rights to use such content, and (z) the content does not violate the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party. As used in this Section, “content” means all information, data, code, text, software, music, sound, photographs, illustrations, graphics, video, messages, or other materials you provide to Service Provider in connection with the Services.
- You are hereby informed that, if you use a credit card to pay for the Services, that the charge for the Services may appear under a name other than the name of Service Provider (the name being generally descriptive of the Services) and that, prior to contacting your credit card company in relation to such charges, that you will first contact Service Provider to verify the charges and the manner of billing. You agree that any chargeback by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider) of a charge related to the Services, for whatever reason, is a material breach of this Agreement and is grounds for immediate termination. You further agree that, upon a chargeback by you, you agree and acknowledge that Service Provider may suspend your access to any account you have with Service Provider and your use of any domain names, websites, website content, email, or other data hosted on Service Provider systems. Service Provider will reinstate your rights solely at its discretion, and subject to its receipt of the fee owed and its then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US$200.
- You agree that the Services shall be provided for the term you selected through the Services Interface. Unless you terminate the Services THROUGH THE SERVICES INTERFACE prior to the end of the then extant Services term, you agree that the Services may be renewed for another term of equal duration to the immediately preceding term and that the resulting fees shall be charged to the credit card associated with your account. You agree to hereby waive any requirement which might otherwise be imposed by law which would require that Service Provider obtain your affirmative consent for on-going billings and that your continuing consent to be billed for such renewal(s) may be presumed until such time as you terminate the Services through the Services Interface. You agree that attempts to terminate the Services other than through the Services Interface (such as by sending an email to a general email address of Service Provider) are not reliable means of communication and that such a termination attempt shall not binding until accepted and acknowledged by Service Provider. In relation to renewals, you further agree that it is your obligation to keep the credit card information associated with your account current and that Service Provider shall not be obligated to contact you to update such information in the event that the charges are denied.
- You agree that you may not downgrade (reduce) the capacity matrices of the Services below the level of actual use of the Services which you experienced in the current or previous month.
- Your use of the Services may be suspended and/or this Agreement may be terminated if Service Provider determines that you are or are alleged to be violating the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into by you and Service Provider. In the event of termination or suspension of Services under such circumstances, you agree (i) that no pre-paid fees will be refunded to you and (ii) that Service Provider may take control of any domain name associated with the terminated Services, provided such domain name was registered through the domain name registration services of Service Provider. You understand that taking control of a domain name includes, without limitation, acts such as listing such controlling party as the "registrant" and/or "administrative contact" for the domain name and controlling the DNS settings for the domain name.
- Service Provider may elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and discontinue the Services upon 30 days notice, whereupon any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of a service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period of time. You further agree that, within 30 days of your initial enrolment to receive the Services, Service Provider may elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and that, in such event, the termination shall take effect immediately and that any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of your service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period of time.
- The Services are provided through an infrastructure which is shared by all users of the Services. Your use of the Services may be throttled or suspended indefinitely if your use of the Services degrades the ability of Service Provider to provide the Services to other users of the Services.
- You acknowledge that email and/or online communication systems (chat, account notices, etc.) will be the primary means of communication between yourself and Service Provider. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain a current email address and physical mailing address in your contact information. You further agree that you will regularly login to your account to obtain any notices posted through the Services Interface. You agree that your failure to respond to a communication from Service Provider may result in suspension or cancellation of Services without any refund of pre-paid fees, if any.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SERVICE PROVIDER EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES FOR A 1-MONTH PERIOD, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN $100. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, THE LIABILITY OF SERVICE PROVIDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
- INDEMNIFICATION: YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD SERVICE PROVIDER, ITS CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COURT COSTS, FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, INFRINGEMENT BY YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE USING YOUR COMPUTER, OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, OR FROM THE VIOLATION OF ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
