 1/22. Summary Of Terms: Although the specific terms set forth below will prevail over any inconsistent term in this paragraph, this paragraph attempts to provide a brief "plain English" summary of some of the terms of this Agreement. This paragraph does not attempt to summarize all of the material terms of this Agreement, and because of its "plain English" approach may have some ambiguities. YOU should read all of the terms of this contract in full, because YOU hereby acknowledge that the following summary shall not be binding if one or more parts of this Agreement conflict or are contradictory with the Summary Of Terms set forth in this Paragraph 1. 

(a) YOU shall get a single web site hosted on OUR server(s), at charges specified at the time of this agreement . YOUR WEB SITE may use a unique domain name registered with InterNIC or other bona fide domain name registry, and WE will not charge YOU extra for hosting YOUR site under YOUR domain name. WE shall have no control over charges that any domain name authority, such as InterNIC, may assess YOU for the registration of the domain name. YOU may not use a domain name which infringes the trademark rights or any other rights of any person or company. 

(b) YOUR web site will have usage moderated using Bandwidth Management software to limit the total amount of network usage that site generates. WE provide YOU with a certain amount of bandwidth. YOU are responsible for moderating the usage of this bandwidth. 

(c) YOU cannot use our equipment to store or disseminate anything through YOUR WEB SITE that would be illegal or harmful, so don’t even think of using pirated software or stolen intellectual property, such as photos, audio clips, or video clips which you do not have the legal right to use. The same applies to celebrity names, images or voices, or morphs of celebrities: you may not use OUR equipment to store or disseminate any such materials if you do not have the express permission of those individuals to use their names, images, voices or morphs of their images. YOU absolutely may not use obscene materials, child pornography or anything that even looks like it could be child pornography or anything which might be harmful to minors. YOU cannot use any sexual materials, like photographs, which do not comply with federal labeling and record-keeping laws (if YOU do not know what these are, YOU should ask a lawyer). YOU also cannot use anything which could be libelous, defamatory, hateful, humiliating or degrading, or anything which might confuse, deceive or defraud consumers. Of course, YOU can not use anything which might negatively affect the functioning of someone’s computer. 

(d) WE will not select or edit any of the CONTENT YOU want to have on YOUR site. So please don’t ask US for OUR artistic assistance or OUR opinion. YOU, and YOU alone, will be solely responsible for the nature and content of what YOU choose to store on OUR equipment or disseminate through your WEB SITE using OUR equipment. YOU are obligated to reimburse US, and everybody else who is damaged, for any expenses or claims whatsoever that may result from YOUR use of OUR equipment and the CONTENT which you have chosen to store on OUR equipment and to disseminate through YOUR WEB SITE using our equipment. 

(e) While WE will not police or monitor what materials YOU have chosen to have on YOUR site and which you disseminate through your WEB SITE, WE do expect that YOU will follow the rules YOU agree to in this Agreement and all later versions of it. Therefore, if WE reasonably believe that YOU have violated any parts of this Agreement, regardless of the reason, WE will have the right to immediately terminate YOUR use of OUR equipment and/or this Agreement without prior notice to YOU and without any liability of any kind by US.  Furthermore, if in OUR sole discretion and judgment WE conclude that the material YOU have stored on OUR equipment and which you disseminate through your WEB SITE violates this Agreement or constitutes illegal material, WE reserve the right to remove and purge that material from OUR equipment and storage space on OUR equipment without any prior notice to YOU and without any liability of any kind by US. Consequently, WE suggest that YOU at all time retain a copy of any material which YOU have stored on OUR equipment. 

(f) There are limitations and conditions associated with OUR hosting of YOUR WEB SITE. These limitations and conditions are set out in this Agreement. YOU will also be subject to any and all limitations and conditions set forth in subsequent modifications or new versions of this Agreement as well.

(5) WE decide to end the whole program or just YOUR contract with US, which WE can do at any time with or without any particular reason. 

(h) WE can change this Agreement in whole or in part at any time, even in a way that may be substantial and material, by simply notifying YOU of such changes by E-mail, on the Internet at a designated URL or by Canadian postal service. After such notification , YOU will have the option of discontinuing YOUR relationship with US or continuing the relationship under the new terms of the modified Agreement. 

(i) WE will never owe YOU any money or other compensation in the event that YOU or anyone directly or indirectly related or associated with YOU suffer losses from OUR unintentional or negligent acts. For example, if OUR servers cease to function, neither YOU nor anyone associated with YOU will be able to recover any losses which may result. Similarly, WE will not owe YOU any money or other compensation if WE terminate YOUR’S or any other person’s contract with US, no matter how unexpected the termination or how long WE have been doing business under this Agreement.  

(j) If YOU reasonably have a good faith belief that this Agreement must be modified to facilitate the specific functionality of YOUR WEB SITE, please E-mail admin@koimedia.com with details so that WE may evaluate YOUR request. Please be advised that WE will not assume any duty of nondisclosure or confidentiality regarding any such communication and do not guarantee a positive response, if any.
