  3. Term and Termination
    1. Hosting Services will commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and will extend for a period of 1 month and will automatically renew from month-to-month thereafter, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. User may terminate this Agreement without cause upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to Host. Host may terminate this Agreement without cause upon at least sixty (60) days written notice to User. Either party may terminate this agreement upon written notice for material breach, provided, however, that the terminating party has given the other party at least fourteen (14) days written notice of and the opportunity to cure the breach. Termination for breach will not alter or affect the terminating party’s right to exercise any other remedies for breach.

In the event of collection, you will be liable for costs of collection including attorney’s fees, court costs, and collection agency fees. If User’s account is suspended due to lack of payment, User will pay the then current reinstatement fee, in addition to all other charges then due and payable, prior to restoration of the Services.

    3. Important Notice
      Domain name registrations and Web hosting accounts are handled by separate entities. In the event you need to cancel, you must specify whether you would like to cancel your domain name only, your Web hosting plan only, or both your domain and hosting accounts. The cancellation or expiration of your domain name does not automatically terminate your hosting account (or vice versa). Your hosting account billing term automatically renews upon its completion, unless you notify PM Advertising that you would like to cancel your account. Domain name renewals are the responsibility of the registered billing contact listed with the domain registrar. Accurate contact information for Registrant, Administrative, Billing and Technical contacts are the responsibility of the registrant. PM Advertising will not be held liable for domain name loss.
  4. Customer Service
    Host will provide to User reasonable amounts of consultation via telephone and/or electronic mail in the use of hosting services, but will not assist with any services that are not maintained or controlled by Host including domain name registration services not affiliated with host.

The Acceptable Use Policy may be modified from time to time in Host’s sole discretion. User’s continued use of the Services after the effective date of such modified Acceptable Use Policy will constitute User’s acceptance of the modified terms. Failure by User to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy, or any modifications thereto will constitute a material breach of this agreement.
