Information regarding our Web Hosting Agreement
This Web Hosting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is between InfinitePRO Ltd, a Private Limited Company formed under the Scottish Law with its principal office at 46A Easter Bankton, EH54 9BD, Livingston (“InfiniteHost”) and the person (individual or legal person) whose signs InfiniteHost’s service order and set up form (the “Order”) incorporating this Agreement by reference (“Customer”). This Agreement governs Customer’s use of InfiniteHost’s Web hosting service.
Whereas:
(1) InfiniteHost offers website hosting services to clients using all appropriate hardware providers connected to the World Wide Web via the internet.
(2) Customer wishes to use InfiniteHost’s Service to host the Customer’s Website and/or selected internet services under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Customer’s access to and use of the Service constitutes the Customer’s acceptance and agreement to be bound by these terms and conditions.
It is agreed as follows:
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer’s satisfaction of InfiniteHost’s credit approval requirements, InfiniteHost agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.
The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that InfiniteHost generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer’s account (the “Service Commencement Date”) and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for unlimited successive renewal terms of the same length as the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term”) unless InfiniteHost or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Term.”
(a) Fees.
Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. Customer’s billing cycle shall be monthly or annually as indicated on the Order, beginning on the Service Commencement Date. InfiniteHost may require payment for the first billing cycle before beginning service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes InfiniteHost to bill subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of each successive billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise InfiniteHost will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1st day of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due on the 14th day following invoice date, but in no event earlier than the first day of each billing cycle.
Payments must be made in Great British Pounds (GBP). Customer is responsible for providing InfiniteHost with changes to billing information (such as credit card expiration, change in billing address) At its option, InfiniteHost may accrue charges to be made to a credit/debit card until such charges exceed £10.00. InfiniteHost may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. InfiniteHost may suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is overdue. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay InfiniteHost’s reasonable reinstatement fee following a suspension of service for non-payment, and to pay InfiniteHost’s reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs.
(b) Fee Increases. InfiniteHost may increase its fees for services effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer of the new fees at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).
(c) Taxes. At InfiniteHost’s request Customer shall remit to InfiniteHost all sales, VAT or similar tax imposed on the provision of the services (but not in the nature of an income tax on InfinitePro Ltd), regardless of whether InfiniteHost fails to collect the tax at the time the related services are provided.
(d) Early Termination. Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer’s agreement to pay the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event InfiniteHost terminates the Agreement for Customer’s breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for InfiniteHost’s breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement.
Customer agrees to use the service in compliance with applicable law and InfiniteHost’s Acceptable Use Policy posted at https://www.infinite-host.com/acceptable-use-policy (the “AUP”), which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement. Customer agrees that InfiniteHost may, in its reasonable commercial judgment consistent with industry standards, amend the AUP from time to time to further detail or describe reasonable restrictions and conditions on Customer’s use of the Services. Amendments to the AUP are effective on the earlier of InfiniteHost’s notice to Customer that an amendment has been made, or the first day of any Renewal Term that begins subsequent to the amendment. Customer agrees to cooperate with InfiniteHost’s reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the AUP. In the event of a dispute between InfiniteHost and Customer regarding the interpretation of the AUP, InfiniteHost’s commercially reasonable interpretation of the AUP shall govern.
Customer represents and warrants to InfiniteHost that the information he, she or it has provided and will provide to InfiniteHost for purposes of establishing and maintaining the service is accurate. If Customer is an individual, Customer represents and warrants to InfiniteHost that he or she is at least 18 years of age. InfiniteHost may rely on the instructions of the person listed as the Primary Customer Contact on the Order with regard to Customer’s account until Customer has provided a written notice changing the Primary Customer Contract.
Customer will fully indemnify InfiniteHost against all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages and judgments that InfiniteHost may incur or be subject to as a result of any of the following:
Customer’s misuse of the Service;
Customer’s breach of this Agreement;
Customer’s negligence or other act of default;

Customer shall pay InfiniteHost’s reasonable reinstatement fee if service is reinstituted following a suspension of service under this subsection.
(b) Termination. The Agreement may be terminated by Customer prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term without further notice and without liability if InfiniteHost fails in a material way to provide the service in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and does not cure the failure within ten (10) days of Customer’s written notice describing the failure in reasonable detail. The Agreement may be terminated by InfiniteHost prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term without further notice and without liability as follows: (i) upon ten (10) days notice if Customer is overdue on the payment of any amount due under the Agreement; (ii) Customer materially violates any other provision of the Agreement, including the AUP, and fails to cure the violation within thirty (30) days of a written notice from InfiniteHost describing the violation in reasonable detail; (iii) upon one (1) days notice if Customer’s Service is used in violation of a material term of the AUP more than once, or (iv) upon one (1) days notice if Customer violates Section 5 (Customer Information) of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be amended only by a formal written agreement signed by both parties. The terms on Customer’s purchase order or other business forms are not binding on InfiniteHost unless they are expressly incorporated into a formal written agreement signed by both parties. A party’s failure or delay in enforcing any provision of the Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of that party’s rights with respect to that provision or any other provision of the Agreement. A party’s waiver of any of its right under the Agreement is not a waiver of any of its other rights with respect to a prior, contemporaneous or future occurrence, whether similar in nature or not. The captions in the Agreement are not part of the Agreement, but are for the convenience of the parties. The following provisions will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement: Fees, indemnity obligations, provisions limiting liability and disclaiming warranties, provisions regarding ownership of intellectual property, these miscellaneous provisions, and other provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination of the Agreement. There are no third party beneficiaries to the Agreement. Neither insurers nor the customers of resellers are third party beneficiaries to the Agreement. Customer may not transfer the Agreement without InfiniteHost’s prior written consent. InfiniteHost’s approval for assignment is contingent on the assignee meeting InfiniteHost’s credit approval criteria. InfiniteHost may assign the Agreement in whole or in part. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. The waiver by either party of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other provision or a subsequent breach of any provision. This Agreement is governed by the laws of Scotland and the United Kingdom. Any dispute relating to this Agreement shall fall within that jurisdiction. Both parties shall keep in strict confidence all information which are of a confidential nature and have been disclosed by one party to the other party and shall procure that the receiving party’s employees, agents, consultants or subcontractors keep in strict confidence all such information other than for the purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement.
This Agreement together with the Order and AUP constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties regarding its subject matter and supercedes and replace any prior understanding or communication, written or oral.
