SEGUIN HOST REGISTRATION AGREEMENT
This Registration Agreement ("Agreement") sets forth the terms and
conditions of your use of domain name registration and related services ("Services").
In this Agreement "you" and "your" refer to you and the
registrant listed in the WHOIS contact information for the domain name. "We", "us" and "our" refer
to the registrars listed at the bottom of this document, any one of which will
be the registrar for your domain name and all of which share common ownership,
common terms and conditions, and a shared Services infrastructure. To determine
which registrar your domain name is registered with, perform a WHOIS lookup.
You obtain the Services first through a Primary Service Provider, Seguin Host
with whom we have a wholesale relationship. Your relationship with your Primary
Service Provider may be governed by additional terms, as you and your Primary
Service Provider may agree. "We," "us" and "our" does
not include your Primary Service Provider, except when specifically mentioned
or unless your Primary Service Provider is one of us (i.e. if your Primary
Service Provider is also one of the registrars listed at the bottom of this
document).
YOU AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT: By using the Service(s), you agree to all terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the UDRP (define below) and the rules, policies,
or agreements published in association with specific of the Service(s) and/or
which may be enforced by ICANN, the registries, and governments.
PASSAGE OF TIME: This Agreement will change over time. If, as a result of such
a change, you no longer agree with the terms of this Agreement, you agree that
your exclusive remedy is to transfer your domain name registration services
to another registrar or request of us that we cancel your domain name registration
services. If you continue to use the Services following a change in this Agreement
and/or the Services, your continued use of the Services indicates your consent
to the changes. Any such revision or change will be binding and effective within
30 days of when the revised Agreement or change to the Service(s) is posted
to the website of either the Primary or Backend Service Providers, or 15 days
after you view the revised Agreement or 15 days after notification is sent
to the e-mail address provided in association with your domain name registration.
You agree to review this Agreement periodically to make yourself aware of any
such revisions.
YOUR ACCOUNT: You must create an account to use the Services. Your account
is typically going to be managed and/or provided by your Primary Service Provider.
You are responsible for maintaining and updating all login IDs, passwords,
and for all access to and use of your account by you or any third party.
SERVICE(S) PROVIDED AT WILL AND TERMINATION OF SERVICE(S): We and your Primary
Service Provider may reject your domain name registration application or elect
to discontinue providing Service(s) to you for any reason within 30 days of
a Service initiation or a Service renewal. Outside of this period, we and your
Primary Service Provider may terminate or suspend the Service(s) at any time
for cause, which, without limitation, includes registration of prohibited domain
name(s), abuse of the Services, payment irregularities, serious allegations
of illegal conduct, or if your use of the Services involves us in a violation
of any Internet Service Provider's ("ISP's") acceptable use policies,
including the transmission of unsolicited bulk email. You agree that if we
terminate or suspend the Services provided to you under this Agreement, that
we may then, at our option, make either ourselves or a third party the beneficiary
of Services which are substantially similar to those which were previously
providing to you and that any reference in this Agreement to termination or
suspension of the Services to you includes this option. If we have grounds
to terminate or suspend Service(s) with respect to one domain name or in relation
to other Service(s) provided through your account, we may terminate or suspend
all Service(s) provided through your account, including Service(s) to other
domain names. No fee refund will be made when there is a suspension or termination
of Service(s) for cause. At any time and for any reason, we may terminate the
Services 30 days after we send notice of termination via mail or email, at
our option, to the WHOIS contact information provided in association with your
domain name registration. Following notice of termination other than for cause,
you must transfer your domain name or risk that we may delete your domain name
or suspend or modify Services to it. If we terminate Services for a reason
other than cause, we will attempt to refund your fees. You further acknowledge
and agree that your registration of a domain name is subject to suspension,
cancellation or transfer by any ICANN procedure, by any registrar or registry
administrator procedures approved by an ICANN-adopted policy, to correct mistakes
by us, another registrar or the registry administrator in administering the
domain name or for the resolution of disputes concerning the domain name.
YOU WARRANT THAT YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES IS NOT GOING TO SUBJECT US TO ANY
CLAIM(S). You further agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless us, your
Primary Service Provider, and applicable registry administrator(s) (including
Verisign Neulevel Public Interest Registry, Afilias Limited, and other
registry operators listed at http://www.icann.org/registries/listing.html)
and all such parties' directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against
any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including any
direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages and reasonable
legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, the domain name registration
services you are obtaining from us.
NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICES: Without limitation, the following are not included
in the Services: We cannot and do not check to see whether the domain name(s)
you select, or the use you make of the domain name(s), or other of the Service(s),
infringes legal rights of others. It is your responsibility to know whether
or not the domain name(s) you select or use infringes legal rights of others.
We might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name;
it is your responsibility to list accurate contact information in association
with your account and to communicate with litigants, potential litigants, and
governmental authorities. It is not our responsibility to forward court orders
or other communications to you. We will comply with court orders unless you
contact us to contest the order.
IF LAWSUIT(S) ARE THREATENED: If we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in
connection with Service(s) provided to you, we may turn to you to indemnify
us and to hold us harmless from the claims and expenses (including attorney's
fees and court costs). Under such circumstances, you agree that you will, upon
demand, obtain a performance bond with a reputable bonding company or, if you
are unable to obtain a performance bond, that you will deposit money with us
to pay for our reasonably anticipated expenses in relation to the matter for
the coming year. Such deposit will be drawn down as expenses are incurred,
with all account notices sent to the WHOIS contact information provided in
association with your domain names and/or account. We shall not be obliged
to extend you any credit in relation to such expenses and we may terminate
the Services for a failure to make or renew such a deposit. We will return
any unused deposit upon the later of one year from deposit or the conclusion
of the matter.
FEES: As consideration for the Service(s), renewal of the Service(s), and,
if you select it, automatic renewal of the Service(s), you agree to pay, prior
to the effectiveness of the desired Service(s), the applicable Service(s) fees.
All fees are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your domain name
registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred prior to the end of your
then current registration term, unless this Agreement specifically provides
for a refund. At our option, we may require that you pay fees through a particular
payment means (such as by credit card or by wire transfer) or that you change
from one payment provider to another.
CREDIT CARD AND OTHER CHARGES: If you have an issue with credit card charges,
you should contact your Primary Service Provider (if any), first, and us, secondarily,
regarding the issue before you contact your credit card company to request
a charge back or reversal of the charges. In the event of a charge back by
a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider allowed
by us) in connection with your payment of fees for any Service(s), you agree
that we and/or your Primary Service Provider may suspend access to any and
all accounts you have with us and/or your Primary Service Provider and that
all rights to and interest in and use of any domain name registration(s) services,
website hosting, and/or email services, including all data hosted on our systems
and/or on the systems of your Primary Service Provider shall be assumed by
us or your Primary Service Provider, as the case may be. We will reinstate
your rights to and control over these Services solely at our discretion, and
subject to our receipt of the unpaid fee(s) and our then-current reinstatement
fee, currently set at $200(US Dollars). Reinstatement of Service(s) by your
Primary Service Provider may be according to the terms, if any, between you
and your Primary Service Provider relating to reinstatement. Charges for the
Service(s) which use our credit card payment processor will be identified on
your credit card statement as "Domain Name Registration." We are
not responsible for how charges appear on your credit card statement when the
transaction is processed by your Primary Service Provider's or another third
party's credit card payment processor.
EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL OF SERVICE(S): You acknowledge that it is your responsibility
to keep your own records and to maintain your own reminders regarding when
your domain name registration or other Services are set to expire. As a convenience
to you, and not as a binding commitment, we and/or your Primary Service Provider
may notify you via an email message or via your account when renewal fees are
due. Should these fees go unpaid, your Services will expire or be cancelled.
Payment must be made by credit card or such other method as we may allow or
require from time to time. If you select automatic renewal of the Service(s),
we may attempt to renew the Service(s) a reasonable time before expiration,
provided your credit card or other billing information is available and up
to date. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to keep your billing
information up to date and that we are not required to, but that we may, contact
you to update this information in the event that an attempted transaction is
not processed successfully. *please note: for certain TLDs, the automatic renewal
option is not available
ACCOUNT CONTACT INFORMATION AND DOMAIN NAME WHOIS INFORMATION: As further consideration
for the Service(s), you agree to provide certain current, complete and accurate
information about you, both with respect to your account information and with
respect to the WHOIS information for your domain name(s). You agree to maintain
and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate.
With respect to you, the administrative, technical, and billing contacts for
your domain name registration(s) and other Service(s), you must submit the
following: name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number, and
where available, fax number. You agree that the type of information you are
required to provide may change and you understand that, if you do not provide
the newly required information, your registration or and/or other Service(s)
may be suspended or terminated or may not be renewed. Not providing requested
information may prevent you from obtaining all Service(s). You may provide
information regarding the name-servers assigned to your domain name(s) and,
if we are providing name-server services to you, the DNS settings for the domain
name. If you do not provide complete name-server information, or if you purchase "Name
Only" Services, you agree that we may supply this information (and point
your domain name to a website of our choosing) until such time as you elect
to supply the name-server information or until such time as you elect to upgrade
from "Name Only" Services.
YOUR OBLIGATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO THE ACCOUNT AND WHOIS CONTACT
INFORMATION: In the event that, in registering a domain name or obtaining other
Service(s), you provide information about or on behalf of a third party, you
represent that you have (a) provided notice to that third party of the disclosure
and use of that party's information as set forth in this Agreement, and (b)
that you have obtained the third party's express consent to the disclosure
and use of that party's information as set forth in this Agreement. By registering
a domain name or applying for other Service(s) you also represent that the
statements in your application are true and you also represent that the domain
name is not being registered or the Services being procured for any unlawful
purpose. You acknowledge that providing inaccurate information or failing to
update information promptly will constitute a material breach of this Agreement
and will be sufficient basis for suspension or termination of Services to you.
You further agree that your failure to respond for over ten (10) calendar days
to inquiries by us concerning the accuracy of account and WHOIS contact information
shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will be sufficient
basis for suspension or termination of Service(s) to you. As indicated elsewhere
in this Agreement, you understand that it is important for you to regularly
monitor email sent to the email address associated with your account and WHOIS
contact information because, among other reasons, if a dispute arises regarding
a domain name(s) or other Service(s), you may loose your rights to the domain
name(s) or your right to receive the Service(s) if you do not respond appropriately
to an email sent in conjunction therewith.
ACCESSING YOUR ACCOUNT AND AN IMPORTANT LIMITATION OF OUR LIABILITY: In order
to change any of your account or domain name WHOIS information, you must access
your account with your Primary Service Provider (if any), or your account with
us. Please safeguard your account login identifier and password from any unauthorized
use. You agree that any person in possession of you account login identifier
and password will have the ability and your authorization to modify your account
and domain name information. We will take reasonable precautions to protect
the information we obtain from you from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or
disclosure, alteration or destruction of that information and that such reasonable
precautions include procedures for releasing account access information to
parties who claim to have lost account access information. You agree that,
if we take reasonable precautions in relation thereto, that IN NO EVENT SHALL
WE BE LIABLE IF SUCH REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS DO NOT PREVENT THE UNAUTHORIZED
USE OR MISUSE OF YOUR ACCOUNT IDENTIFIER OR PASSWORD AND THAT, EVEN IF WE FAIL
TO TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS, THAT OUR LIABILITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL BE LIMITED BY THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISION FOUND BELOW IN THIS
AGREEMENT. If you contact us alleging that a third party has unauthorized access
to your account or domain names, you agree that we may charge you administrative
fees of $50 (US dollars) per hour for our time spent in relation to the matter,
regardless of whether or not we return control over the account and/or domain
names to you.
TRANSFERS: You agree that transfer of your domain name(s) services shall be
governed by ICANN's transfer policy, available at http://www.icann.org/transfers
as this policy may be modified from time to time. You agree that we may place
a "Registrar Lock" on your domain name services and that this will
prevent your domain name services from being transferred without your authorization,
though we are not required to do so. By allowing your domain name services
to remain locked, you provide express objection to any and all transfer requests
until the lock is removed. To transfer your domain name(s) you should first
login to your account to lock or unlock your domain name(s) and/or to obtain
the EPP "AuthCode" which is required to transfer domain services
in an EPP registry (such as .org). Alternatively, you should contact your Primary
Service Provider to have your domain name(s) services locked or unlocked or
to obtain the EPP "AuthCode." If your Primary Service Provider is
unresponsive, you may contact us to have your domain name(s) locked or unlocked
or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" though we may first contact your
Primary Service Provider to request that the Primary Service Provider address
the request. Only the registrant and the administrative contacts listed in
the WHOIS information may approve or deny a transfer request. Without limitation,
domain name services may not be transferred within 60 days of initial registration,
within 60 days of a transfer, if there is a dispute regarding the identity
of the domain name registrant, if you are bankrupt, or if you fail to pay fees
when due. We will follow the procedures for both gaining and loosing registrars
as outlined in ICANN's transfer policies. Transfer requests typically take
five business days to be processed. A transfer will not be processed if, during
this time, the domain name registration services expire in which event you
may need to reinstate the transfer request. You may be required to resubmit
a transfer request if there is a communication failure or other problem at
either our end or at the registry. AS A CONSEQUENCE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU
ASSUME ALL RISK FOR FAILURE OF A TRANSFER IF THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS INITIATED
CLOSE TO THE END OF A REGISTRATION TERM.
PRIVACY POLICY: You agree and consent that we will make available the domain
name registration information you provide or that we otherwise maintain to
the following parties: ICANN, the registry administrator(s), and to other third
parties as ICANN and applicable laws may require or permit (including through
web-based and other on-line WHOIS lookup systems), whether during or after
the term of your domain name registration services of the domain name. You
hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have
arising from such disclosure or use of such information. Additionally, you
acknowledge that ICANN may establish or modify the guidelines, limits and/or
requirements that relate to the amount and type of information that we may
or must make available to the public or to private entities, and the manner
in which such information is made available. Information regarding ICANN's
guidelines and requirements regarding WHOIS can be found at http://www.icann.org/registrars/wmrp.htm
You agree that we may make publicly available, or directly available to third
parties, some, or all, of the information you provide, for purposes of inspection
(such as through our WHOIS service) or for targeted marketing and other purposes
as required or permitted by applicable laws. One of the ways that we may make
some or all of the information you provide available to the public or third
parties is by way of bulk WHOIS data access provided to third parties who enter
into a bulk WHOIS data access agreement with us.
OWNERSHIP OF INFORMATION AND DATA: You agree and acknowledge that we own all
database, compilation, collective and similar rights, title and interests worldwide
in our domain name database, and all information and derivative works generated
from the domain name database. You further agree and acknowledge that we own
the following information for those registrations for which we are the registrar:
(a) the original creation date of the registration, (b) the expiration date
of the registration, (c) the name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone
number, and where available fax number of all contacts for the domain name
registration, (d) any remarks concerning the registered domain name that appear
or should appear in the WHOIS or similar database, and (e) any other information
we generate or obtain in connection with the provision of domain name registration
services, other than the domain name being registered, the IP addresses of
the primary nameserver and any secondary nameservers for the domain name, and
the corresponding names of those nameservers. We do not have any ownership
interest in your specific personal registration information outside of our
rights in our domain name database.
Website Hosting Agreement
By using the website hosting services (hereinafter the "Services," defined
further below), you signify your agreement to the terms and conditions contained
in this Website Hosting 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), the website
hosting service provider offering these services to you, if any, (the "Primary
Service Provider") and the backend service provider Seguin Host, (the "Backend
Service Provider").
- These terms and conditions 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
periodically and that, if you no longer agree to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, that you will stop using the Services and that you will
terminate the Services as described below in paragraph 4.
- The Services consist of the website hosting 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 bandwidth limitations and other capacity matrices),
pricing (including pricing for optional Services, such as automatic capacity
upgrade in the event of overage), 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.
- 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 the Primary 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 the Primary 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 termination. You further agree that,
upon a chargeback by you, you agree and acknowledge that Seguin Host may
suspend your access to any account you have with Seguin Host and your use
of any domain names, websites, website content, email, or other data hosted
on Seguin Host systems. We will reinstate your rights solely at our discretion,
and subject to our receipt of the fee owed and our 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 either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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 either the Primary
Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider) are not reliable means
of communication and that such a termination attempt shall not binding until
accepted and acknowledged by either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend
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 neither the Primary Service Provider nor the Backend Service
Provider shall 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 bandwidth or other 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 either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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 either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service Provider.
In the event of termination or suspension of Services under such circumstances,
you agree a) that no pre-paid fees will be refunded to you and b) that either
the Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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 either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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.
- Either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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, either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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 either the
Primary Service Provider or the Backend 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 the Primary Service Provider and/or the Backend 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 either the Primary Service Provider or the Backend Service
Provider may result in suspension or cancellation of Services without any
refund of pre-paid fees, if any.
- You acknowledge that neither the Primary Service Provider nor Backend Service
Provider are obligated to return any data to you upon termination of this
Agreement. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to download, make
copies of, and/or backup all data residing on the servers and other equipment
which provide the Services and to do so within the bandwidth limitations
of the Services. You acknowledge that any loss or corruption of data which
occurs due to an interruption in the Services, regardless of the cause of
the interruption, shall not be the responsibility of the Primary Service
Provider or Backend Service Provider and that you may, following an interruption
in the Services, be required to upload the data to the servers and other
equipment which provide the Services.
- You agree that any personally identifying information provided by you shall
be used by the Primary Service Provider according to the privacy policy of

or otherwise posted on your website by you and/or by the users of your website;
b) that your website and your use of the Services will not infringe the intellectual

claims relating to infringement of intellectual property rights or claims
relating to the products or services which you may provide or offer through
the website hosted through the Services.
- You further represent and warrant that you will not allow any unauthorized
third party to access the account which you use to access the Services.
- EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR UNPLANNED SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS: You agree that
any unplanned or unannounced interruptions in the Services shall not require
a remedy unless such unplanned or unannounced interruptions exceed 24 hours
in any 30 day period, in which case you agree that the exclusive remedy shall
be a credit toward 24 hours of hosting for each 24 hour period of unplanned
or unannounced interruptions, and that such credit shall exclusively be applied
against the fees owed for your next period of hosting, if any, or shall be
exclusively be accomplished by adjusting the end of your then-current Service
term.

YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT NEITHER THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER NOR BACKEND SERVICE
PROVIDER WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER OR NOT EITHER THE PRIMARY SERVICE PROVIDER OR BACKEND SERVICE

OR THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE
SERVICES FOR A ONE-MONTH PERIOD, BUT IN NO EVENT GREATER THAN ONE HUNDRED

SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
- INDEMNIFICATION: YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD THE PRIMARY
SERVICE PROVIDER AND BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER, THEIR CONTRACTORS, AGENTS,

and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This
notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting any of the sites offered by
Seguin Host you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
For question on the Privacy Notice please contact the Seguin Host® Support
Center.
- What Personal Information About Customers Does Seguin Host Gather?
- Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us
in any other way. We use the information that you provide for such purposes
as responding to your requests, providing our services (e.g., domain name
registration, DNS hosting), and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and
we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our
sites. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet
protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; computer
and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system,
and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) click stream to, through,
and from our Web site, including date and time. We use IP addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use.
- What About Cookies?
- Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's
hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
browser. Besides using the information as described above, Seguin Host utilizes
cookies to control the flow of the ordering processes by maintaining the
state of your online transactions.
Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
- Does Seguin Host Share the Information It Receives?
Yes, we do share information but only as described below. Otherwise we will
not provide your personal information without your consent.
- WHOIS: We are required by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers ("ICANN"), the organization that assumes responsibility
for domain name allocation, to collect information about you during the domain
name registration process. This information includes your full name, mailing
address, phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile
number. ICANN then requires all registrars to make your full name, mailing
address, phone number, email address, and, where provided, your facsimile
number, as well as the creation and expiration dates of your domain name
registration and the name server information associated with your domain
name, to the public via an interactive Web page and a "port 43" WHOIS
service. For the purposes of this Privacy Notice we will refer to this information
as your "WHOIS Information." Please note that we may not be able
to control how members of the public may use the WHOIS Information.
- Advertisers: We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person.
- Partners: We partner with other parties to provide specific services. When
the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact
information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
- Agents: We engage other companies and individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Examples include processing credit card payments, providing
marketing assistance, providing customer services, sending postal mail and
email to you, removing repetitive information from customer lists, and analyzing
data. These persons have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information that you provide to Seguin Host for any secondary
purposes.
- Service Providers: We engage other companies and individuals to perform
enhanced services on our behalf. For example, we have engaged Critical Path, to
provide free electronic mail services to our domain name registrants. In
addition, certain of our enhanced services such as our Web Site Generator
require that we contact Internet directories and various search engines on
your behalf. Many of our service providers have access to personal information
needed to perform their services. These parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
- Business Transfer: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell
or buy businesses or their assets. In such transactions, customer information
generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, if Seguin Host
or all or substantially all of its assets were ever to be acquired, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
- Compliance: We release account and other personal information when we believe
release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Services
Agreement and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety
of Seguin Host, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information
with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.
- How Secure Is Information About Me?
- We work to protect the security of your information during transmission
by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information
you input and the information we may send to our agents.
- Seguin Host has gone to great lengths to ensure your information is securely
obtained and held in compliance with the Card Holder Information Security
Program. For example, we encrypt your credit card number before it is stored
in our database. This ensures that no one may access your credit card from
our system.
- It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your
password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a
shared computer.

privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected

Reseller agreement
By using the Seguin Host Domain Name Registration and related services (hereinafter
the "Services," defined further below), you signify your agreement
to the terms and conditions contained in this Seguin Host Reseller Agreement
(hereinafter, the "RSA"). This RSA is between you, your organization
(if you are entering into this RSA on behalf of an organization), collectively
referred to herein as "you" or "your" (and appropriate
formatives), the intermediate Seguin Host Reseller(s) and service provider
who may be offering these services to you, if any, (the "Primary Service
Provider(s)") and the backend service provider Seguin Host (the "Backend
Service Provider"), including the Backend Service Provider's subsidiaries
and all employees, directors, officers, representatives, agents and affiliates
thereof. You declare your identity (including organizational affiliation) in
the information which you provide to the Backend Service Provider through the
interface which you use to configure and/or otherwise order the Services, available
(referred to herein as "your Account"). It is a material part of
this RSA that you warrant that the contact information you provide in your
Account is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.
- This RSA: When accepted and how modified.
- You agree that this RSA is an application to become an independent reseller
of the Backend Service Provider and that this RSA shall not become effective
until i) the Backend Service Provider's receipt of all indicated funds,
ii) the Backend Service Provider's receipt of an executed copy of this
RSA, if required by the Backend Service Provider and iii) the Backend Service
Provider's acceptance of this RSA (which acceptance may be evidenced by
the Backend Service Provider's course of conduct in activating your Account).
- The terms and conditions of this RSA may be modified from time to time.
Modifications made to this RSA will become effective 30 days after the
modifications are posted to your Account or immediately upon your acknowledgment
of the revised terms. If you no longer agree to the terms and conditions
of this RSA, you may stop using the Services and terminate the Services
as described below in section 7.
- The Services, Accounts, Sub-Resellers, and Sub-Accounts.
- The Services include the following: a) Domain Name registration in the
TLDs offered by the Backend Service Provider, including whois service;
b) name server services (DNS); c) URL forwarding; d) email forwarding;
e) POP & SMTP email; f) web-based email; g) website hosting; h) website
and domain name availability monitoring; i) website and domain name traffic
monitoring; j) website and domain name traffic monetization; k) pre-fabricated
and hosted websites for the purpose of registering domain names and offering
these Services; l) pre- and post-expiration domain name resale services;
m) name my map, phone, etc.; n) dynamic (real-time) DNS; o) phone and email
support; p) merchant services for processing credit card orders; and The
Services do not include other services which a Primary Service Provider
may provide to you. Primary Service Providers are independent resellers
of the Backend Service Provider and may offer their own services under
separate agreement.
- Generally, you wish to obtain domain name registration services and related
services offered by the Backend Service Provider for yourself and/or for
your customers, if any. Primary Service Provider(s) may offer other services
(not those of the Backend Service Provider) which are not subject to this
RSA. The Backend Service Provider may utilize any of the ICANN-accredited
registrars when providing domain name registration services. You may only
use your Account to select and/or interact with the Services.
- You and/or your customers may be the direct consumers of the Services.
In addition, your customers may also be parties ("your Sub-Resellers")
who wish to resell the Services to further downstream customers. Your Sub-Resellers
will have "Sub-Account(s)" which, in this RSA, are said to be "below" your
Account. Your Sub-Resellers may also have customers, Sub-Resellers, and
Sub-Accounts below them. You are the Primary Service Provider to your immediate
Sub-Resellers and your Sub-Resellers are the Primary Service Provider to
their Sub-Resellers. In other words, accounts with the Backend Service
Provider are inverse hierarchical tree structures; your Account may be
the apex of a local hierarchy below which may be multiple Sub-Accounts,
each of which may also have multiple Sub-Accounts and each of which acts
as a Primary Service Provider for the Sub-Accounts below it in the heirarchy.
- You have the ability, through your Account, to control the creation,
access to, pricing of, and use of your Account and all Sub-Accounts below
your Account. You agree to be responsible for and guarantee all payments
and other performance obligations due to the Backend Service Provider for
all Services provided to you, your customers, your Sub-Resellers and all
Sub-Resellers and customers below your Account. When there is an unresolved
issue (such as non-payment or dishonoring of payment for Services already
rendered or a failure to provide customer support) between the Backend
Service provider and a customer and/or a Sub-Reseller below your Account,
the Backend Service Provider will first seek satisfaction from the Primary
Service Provider who has the most immediate relationship with the party
causing the issue; however, if the Backend Service Provider is not able,
after commercially reasonable efforts, to obtain satisfaction from such
Primary Service Provider, you agree that the Backend Service Provider may
then seek satisfaction from successively higher Primary Service Providers,
and ultimately from you, in the hierarchy of accounts between the party
causing the issue and the Backend Service Provider. You are responsible
in this way and make this guarantee because you have the ability to control
the creation, access to, pricing of, and use of your Account and all Sub-Accounts
below your Account and because you benefit therefrom. You agree that the
Backend Service Provider may charge you reasonable administrative fees
for dealing with complaints, subpoena requests, and related issues caused
by you, your customers, your Sub-Resellers and all Sub-Resellers and customers
below your Account.
- Certain of the Services are offered only subject to additional terms
and conditions of the Backend Service Provider and which are available
at http://www.SeguinHost.com/terms.php To use these Services, customers
must agree to these additional terms and conditions. You agree to indemnify
and hold harmless the Backend Service Provider for any intentional or negligent
failure by you or a Sub-Reseller below your Account to obtain the consent
of any customer to these additional terms and conditions.
- If you die or otherwise become unavailable (the Backend Service Provider
is unsuccessful in making reasonable attempts to contact you), and if you
have customers and/or Sub-Accounts, the Backend Service Provider may assume
direct control over such customers and Sub-Accounts. If, under such circumstances,
you have a Primary Service Provider, you agree that the Backend Service
provider may elect to allow the Primary Service Provider to assume direct
control over such customers and Sub-Accounts.
- Points, payments, and commissions.
- You may be required to purchase "Points" to obtain all or certain
of the Services. When you purchase Points, your price for the Points will
also include certain costs, such as transaction fees, taxes, etc., which
will not be reflected in your Point total. For example, in order to refill*
100 Points in your Account via a credit card,* you will be charged $103.00,
which includes 3% in transaction fees. Points are non-refundable and are
not transferable without the consent of the Backend Service Provider, which
may be denied for any reason. In general, if you purchase larger volumes
of Points you are entitled to obtain Services for fewer Points. If you
have a Primary Service Provider, your pricing for the Services is determined
by your Primary Service Provider, otherwise, your pricing for the Services
is determined by the number of Points you purchase when you apply to open
your Account. The different pricing levels are described in greater detail
when you apply to open your Account.
- * Note: Initial purchases of Points shall not include the 3% charge for
transaction fees. For subsequent credit card transactions (account refills),
3% of the transaction amount will be charged for using the credit card
online pre-payment service. The Backend Service Provider does accept checks
and/or wire transfers with no additional charges. You will be responsible
for all Merchant Services fees, outlined in the Merchant Services Agreement
at the bottom of this document, for any transaction originating from all
Sub-Accounts below your Account.
- Points and certain of the Services may be purchased using a credit card.
You authorize the Backend Service Provider to debit the credit card you
present in relation to a particular transaction or the credit card you
otherwise provide through your Account. You are hereby informed that charges
for the Services will appear as follows: "Domain Name Registration" and/or "I-Net
Sftwr Srvc & Sale." You agree that you will present only approved
transactions to the Backend Service Provider. You agree that, prior to
contacting your credit card company in relation to such charges, that you
will first contact your Primary Service Provider and thereafter the Backend
Service Provider to verify the charges and the manner of billing. You agree
to require all Sub-Resellers and all customers in and below your Account
(including customers of your Sub-Resellers) to only present approved transaction
to the Backend Service Provider and to contact the Primary and Backend
Service Providers regarding charges, as described above. You agree that
any chargeback by a credit card company or similar action by or through
another payment provider relating to payment to the Backend Service Provider,
for whatever reason, whether by you, by any Sub-Reseller or customer below
your Account of yours i) is a material breach of this RSA, ii) is an act
for which you agree to be jointly and severally liable to make the Backend
Service Provider whole, iii) is an act with respect to which the Backend
Service Provider will charge $35.00 per incident, in addition to Merchant
Services fees and other payment provider service charges which may be charged
to the Backend Service Provider, and iv) that the same shall be grounds
for suspension and/or termination of this RSA and the Services. Under such
circumstances, you agree and acknowledge that the Backend Service Provider
may suspend your access to any and all of your Accounts which you may have
with the Backend Service Provider and that all right, title, interest in,
and use of any domain name registration(s) and/or websites, email, or other
data hosted on systems controlled by the Backend Service Provider (the "Collateral")
shall be assumed by the Backend Service Provider. The Backend Service Provider
will reinstate rights in the Collateral solely in the discretion of the
Backend Service Provider, subject to receipt of the fee(s) owed and the
then-current reinstatement fee, currently set at US$200. You agree that
the Backend Service Provider may sell, dispose of, or retain the Collateral
if the Backend Service Provider determines the same to be a means of obtaining
some monetary or other satisfaction or security. Points may also be purchased
through check or wire transfer, in which case please contact the Backend
Service Provide to arrange such a payment.
- The Backend Service Provider may require that you pay for Points or the
Services using a particular payment means, such as by wire transfer. The
Backend Service Provider may also demand reasonable assurance of payment
if you give the Backend Service Provider grounds for insecurity.
- If you are using the Backend Service Provider's merchant services provider
(credit card processing company), receipts from your customers will be
processed by the merchant services provider(s) selected by the Backend
Service Provider and will be subject to merchant service fees (presently
set at 3% of each transaction, plus $0.95) and taxes (including ICANN fees).
- Points shall not be refunded to you for cash, regardless of termination
of this RSA. You authorize the Backend Service Provider to deduct from
your Points any amounts owed by you to the Backend Service Provider, including,
without limitation, amounts owed as a result of your indemnification of
the Backend Service Provider for third party claims, administrative costs
mentioned in section 2.D, above, and reasonable administrative costs which
may be charged for inactive accounts.
- If you have Sub-Account(s) below your Account, you may earn commissions
from sales generated by such Sub-Account(s). Such commissions will amount
to the difference between the following: i) the price you charge the Sub-Reseller,
less merchant service fees (presently set at 3% of each transaction, plus
$0.95) and taxes (including ICANN fees); and ii) the price you are charged
for the Services by the Backend Service Provider or the Primary Service
Provider, if any. When you have a balance greater than $25.00 (U.S.) in
commissions which have aged more than 90 days (which allows time for chargebacks
and reversed transactions), you will be able to have your commissions sent
to you via a check deposited in the U.S. mail (another reason to keep your
account information current) or via direct deposit, when and if direct
deposit becomes available. Commissions will be reported through your Account
in your Available Commission Balance. Your Point balance is not part of
your Available Commission Balance.
- Support. You shall be responsible for providing customer service, billing,
and technical support to your customers, Sub-Resellers below your Account,
and customers of your Sub-Resellers. The Backend Service Provider shall provide
telephone and email support to you during business hours, which are customarily
from 6 AM to 6 PM, Pacific Standard Time, with some exceptions for major
holidays. The Backend Service Provider may, but is not obligated to, provide
support directly to your customers. If the Backend Service Provider receives
communications from registrants or from third-parties regarding a Services
provided in your Account or an Account below your Account, the Backend Service
Provider will, were appropriate, forward such communications to the first
immediate Primary Service Provider for further action; however, Seguin Host, reserves
the right to respond to such communications directly. If the Backend Service
Provider determines that you are providing inadequate support to your customers
(resulting in, for example, an excessive number of support calls directly
from your customers), then the Backend Service Provider may consider this
to be a breach of this RSA by you and may terminate this RSA.
- Warranties and Excluded Warranties.
- WHAT IS NOT WARRANTIED: THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER DOES NOT WARRANTY
THAT PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED,
ERROR FREE, OR THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR YOU TO PROVIDE NOTICE
OF ERRORS THROUGH THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER'S SUPPORT PROCEDURES.
- WARRANTIES: THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES
AND TECHNOLOGY WILL BE PROVIDED AND MAINTAINED WITH AT LEAST THE SAME DEGREE
OF CARE THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER EXERCISES IN PROVIDING SIMILAR SERVICES
AND TECHNOLOGY TO THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER'S OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED
CUSTOMERS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY
ARE THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THIS RSA OR, IF NO REMEDIES ARE PROVIDED,
THAT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS THE RE-PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR IF
THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER IS UNABLE TO PERFORM THE SERVICES AS WARRANTED
WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD AND IF YOU CAN DEMONSTRATE THROUGH CLEAR AND
CONVINCING EVIDENCE A LOSS WHICH IS SOLELY AND DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO
THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER'S BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, THEN YOUR EXCLUSIVE
REMEDY SHALL BE THE TERMINATION OF THIS RSA AND THE CASH REFUND OF ANY
POINTS USED BY YOU IN RELATION TO THE SPECIFIC TRANSACTIONS WHICH GAVE
RISE TO THE BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, SUBJECT TO THE OVERALL LIMITATION
OF THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER'S LIABILITY FOUND IN THIS RSA. THE WARRANTIES
ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
- Indemnification. You, at your own expense, will indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Backend Service Provider (which refers to, as indicated at the
beginning of this RSA, its subsidiaries, and all employees, directors, officers,
representatives, agents and affiliates thereof), against any claim, suit,
action, or other proceeding based on or arising from any claim or alleged
claim (i) relating to any product or service of yours; (ii) relating to your
use of the Services; or (iii) relating to your domain name registration and
related service business, including, but not limited to, your advertising,
domain name application process, systems and other processes, fees charged,
billing practices and customer service; provided, however, that in any such
case: (a) the Backend Service Provider provides you with prompt notice of
any such claim, and (b) upon your written request, the Backend Service Provider
provides you with all available information and assistance reasonably necessary
for you to defend such claim, provided that you reimburse the Backend Service
Provider for actual and reasonable costs. You shall not enter into any settlement
or compromise of any such indemnifiable claim without the Backend Service
Provider's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. You shall pay any and all costs, damages, and expenses, including,
but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs awarded against
or otherwise incurred by the Backend Service Provider in connection with
or arising from any such indemnifiable claim, suit, action or proceeding.
- Limitation of Liability.
- A material provision of entering into this RSA is that the Backend Service
Provider's liability shall be limited as follows: In relation to each component
of the Services for which a separate fee is charged, the Backend Service
Provider shall be liable in an amount no greater than the fees received
by the Backend Service Provider for performing the specific transaction(s)
that gave rise to the liability. The Backend Service Provider's aggregate
liability for all claims of any sort shall not exceed the aggregate amount
received by the Backend Service Provider from you over the term of this
RSA. The Backend Service Provider shall not be liable for any unauthorized
access to, or any corruption, erasure, theft, destruction, alteration,
or inadvertent disclosure of data, information, or content transmitted,
received, or stored on its or any 3rd party systems. With respect to passwords,
account identifiers, and other systems used to control access to your account,
you acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to safeguard such
passwords, account identifiers, and other systems used to control access
to your account. You agree that as a service to you, the Backend Service
Provider may, but is not required to, take reasonable measures to verify
the identity of parties who claim to have lost or forgotten passwords and/or
account information and to then provide the information to such parties
and that the Backend Service Provider shall not be responsible to you losses
or claims for any inadvertent disclosure of such passwords which may result
thereby. You expressly agree that it is reasonable for the Backend Service
Provider to email passwords to designated email account(s), to phone designated
phone numbers, or to employ security questions as a means to verify the
identity of the party entitled to control your account.
- EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS RSA, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE
IN ANY WAY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY LOST PROFITS
OR REVENUES, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE
GOODS, LICENSES, OR SERVICES OR SIMILAR ECONOMIC LOSS, OR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES OF ANY
NATURE, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT, UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT HEREUNDER,
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE
OF THIS RSA, OR, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE SECTION RELATING TO YOUR
INDEMNIFICATION OF THE BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER, FOR ANY CLAIM AGAINST
THE OTHER PARTY BY A 3RD PARTY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT HAS BEEN ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CLAIM OR DAMAGES.
- Independent Contractors. The parties to this RSA are independent contractors
and shall have no right or authority to bind or commit the other party
in any way without the other party's express written authorization to do
so. Nothing contained in this RSA shall be deemed or construed to create
for any purpose an employer/employee, joint venture, partnership, or agency
relationship between the parties.
- Assignment. You agree not to assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of
this RSA or any of your rights, benefits, or interests under this RSA without
written consent of the Backend Service Provider. The Backend Service Provider
may assign this RSA to a party which acquires the assets of the Backend
Service Provider which relate to performance of this RSA. The Backend Service
Provider may assign all or part of its rights and obligations under this
RSA to its parent corporation, to a subsidiary, to its survivor in connection
with a corporate reorganization, to any entity acquiring all or substantially
all of its property, or to any entity into which it is merged or consolidated.
No assignment of this RSA shall operate to discharge the assignor of any
duty or obligations hereunder without prior written consent.
- Taxes. Unless specified otherwise, the fees listed in this RSA do not
include taxes. If the Backend Service Provider is required to pay ICANN
fees or United States or international sales, use, property, value-added,
royalty, license or other taxes based on the licenses granted in this RSA
or on your use of the Services, then such taxes or fees shall be billed
to and paid by you. This section shall not apply to taxes based on the
Backend Service Provider's income.
- Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in default or liable for any loss
or damage resulting from delays in performance or from failure to perform
or comply with terms of this RSA (other than the obligation to make payments,
which shall not be affected by this provision) due to any causes beyond
its reasonable control, which causes include but are not limited to Acts
of God or the public enemy; riots and insurrections; war; fire; strikes
and other labor difficulties (whether or not the party is in a position
to concede to such demands); embargoes; judicial action; lack of or inability
to obtain export permits or approvals, necessary labor, materials, energy,
components or machinery; acts of civil or military authorities; failure
of telecommunications; or other casualty.
- Governing Law and Venue for Disputes. This RSA and any disputes regarding
its interpretation and enforcement shall be governed by the laws of the
United States of America and the State of Washington, as if this RSA was
a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within the State of
Washington. Any action to enforce this RSA or any matter relating to your
use of the Backend Service Provider's or the Backend Service Provider's
subsidiaries' services shall be brought exclusively in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Washington, or if there is no
jurisdiction in such court, then in a state court in King County, Washington
state. You consent to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction
of such courts and agree that exclusive venue therein is proper.

our service fees and/or credit policies at any time. You are responsible for
paying all fees associated with use of Merchant Services and all applicable
taxes.
If you are a seller in a credit card transaction, you understand and agree
that you are responsible for payment to Merchant Service Provider or its agents,
suppliers, and subcontractors of all amounts and costs related to charge-back
in full and the amount of the charge-back itself. Your responsibility for all
charge-back-related fees and amounts will continue even in instances where
the charge-back has been initiated after you have received the funds or terminated
your Merchant Service Provider account. You further agree that Merchant Service
Provider or its agents, suppliers, and subcontractors can enforce this agreement
against you and recover such charge-back-related fees and amounts from you
in accordance with this Agreement or through any other legal rights or remedies
that Merchant Service Provider or its agents, suppliers, and subcontractors
may have. Merchant Service Provider shall not be obligated to facilitate payment
for any transaction for which funds have not been provided by the buyer's issuing
bank.
Merchant Service Provider collects all fees and other amounts by subtracting
the amount the seller owes Merchant Service Provider ("Merchant Services
Fees") from the funds that Merchant Service Provider has received from
the buyer for payment to the seller for the transaction ("Seller Funds").
Should Merchant Services Fees exceed Seller Funds, as a seller you authorize
Merchant Service Provider to directly debit your credit card or Seguin Host
account (including a commission account, if any) for any excess amounts.
If you have a reseller account with Seguin Host (a sub-account of such an account,
or any other account with Seguin Host), there may be fees associated with such
account, in addition to the Merchant Services Fees described in this Agreement.
You and/or your customer authorize the Merchant Service Provider to debit the
credit card provided to the Merchant Service Provider for this purpose.
