1. Description of Services:

Cargo Gods, Inc., d.b.a. Internet Commerce Exchange ("iComEx") provides Web Site Development, hosted Content Management Services, Content Creation and Updating Services, Search Marketing Services and other services (collectively the "Services") that allows iComEx Customers and Guests invited by those Customers to create, edit, and manage web-based content. Each Customer has an Account with iComEx, and each Account is provided with various features, functionality, disk space, and internet bandwidth, the amount and extent of each of these based on the level of Services that the Customer has signed up for. Unless explicitly agreed to in writing by iComEx, all aspects of the Services, including without limitation any new Services, features, or functionality, whether they are upgrades, enhancements, fixes, or completely new Services released, will all be subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS"), the Service Rates and the Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). In order to use the Services, the Customer and all Guests must obtain access, at their own cost, to the World Wide Web, through use of appropriate hardware, software and communications equipment, including but not limited to a computer, a web browser, modem or other communications equipment, and an account with an internet Services provider.

2. Term:

The initial term of this Agreement shall be 30 days. The Agreement term is effective on the date Customer signs the acceptance of an iComEx proposal. The term will automatically renew on a monthly basis until either party provides 30 days prior written notice of their intent not to renew. Either party may terminate this Agreement with 30 days written notice to the other party.

3. Charges and Payment of Fees:

Subject to the Billing, Credit, and Collections Policy, Customer will pay all fees or charges to its account for each applicable billing period in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable.

iComEx charges and collects in advance for use of the Services. iComEx's fees are exclusive of taxes, levies, or duties imposed of taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on iComEx's income.

Invoices will be generated at the start of each billing period and shall be due and payable immediately. Customer's account will be considered delinquent (in arrears) if payment in full is not received by the 15th day following the start of the current billing period.

If Customer believes that the bill is incorrect, Customer must contact iComEx in writing within 60 days of the invoice date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

4. Non-Payment:

Delinquent invoices (accounts in arrears) are subject to a $29.00 per month late fee, plus interest of 1.5% per month (18% APR), with a minimum monthly finance charge of $5.00 per month, on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is greater, plus all expenses of collection, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs. On any termination of this Agreement, Customer will be obligated to pay the balance due on Customer's account computed in accordance with the provisions set out in the Billing, Credit, and Collections Policy, as they are in effect from time to time.

5. Suspension or Termination of Services:

In addition to any other rights granted to iComEx herein, iComEx reserves the right to suspend or terminate this Agreement and Customer's access to the Services if Customer's account becomes delinquent (falls into arrears). Customer will continue to be charged during any period of suspension. iComEx also reserves the right to impose a separate reconnection fee should Customer thereafter again request access to the Services. Customer agrees and acknowledges that iComEx has no obligation to retain the Customer Data (defined below) if the account is more than 30 days overdue, and such Customer Data will be irretrievably deleted if the account is unpaid after 30 days.

In addition, iComEx may immediately suspend or terminate the Services if a hacked script or otherwise compromised website is discovered on our systems, at a Service in use by the Customer, or the Customer is not in compliance with the iComEx Usage Guidelines for Customer Data as set out in section 8, or any part of the TOS or AUP.

iComEx also reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate the Services for abusive behavior by Customer towards iComEx or an iComEx employee.

6. Customer Responsibilities:

Customer is responsible for any and all activities that occur under Customer's accounts. Customer shall: (i) notify iComEx immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or account or any other known or suspected breach of security; (ii) assure that use of the Services shall at all times comply with all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws, regulations, treaties and conventions, including without limitation those related to data privacy, international communications, and the exportation of technical or personal data; (iii) assure that use of the Services by Customer's Guests shall at all times conform to the Usage Guidelines for Customer Data; and (v) not impersonate another iComEx user or provide false identity information to gain access to or use the Services.

Upon any termination of this Agreement (other than by reason of Customer breach), iComEx will make available to Customer a file of the Customer Data within 30 days of termination if Customer so requests by the effective date of termination. iComEx reserves the right to withhold, remove, delete and/or discard Customer Data without notice if Customer does not make such request by such deadline. Upon any termination by reason of Customer breach, iComEx shall have no obligation to maintain or forward any Customer Data and iComEx may immediately remove and/or discard Customer Data without notice.

Customer acknowledges that iComEx does not pre-screen Customer Data, but that iComEx and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse or remove any Customer Data that is available via the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, iComEx and its designees shall have the right to remove any Customer Data that violates the TOS, or the AUP, or is otherwise deemed (at iComEx's sole discretion) objectionable.
