Customer Agreement

By and between Lonestar Interactive, a Texas company ("LSI"), and you, the service recipient ("Customer").

In consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the parties agree to the following, which shall apply during the term of this agreement:

  1. ORDER ACCEPTANCE, PAYMENT
    1. All orders are subject to acceptance by LSI at its office in El Paso, Texas. An order will be deemed accepted by LSI when LI sends confirmation (account details) to Customer.
    2. Payment and Terms: Payment shall be made to LSI into the account designated by LSI, or as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties. Payments are due upon invoice. If due to bank charges, transfer fees, or the like, LSI should receive less than its invoice amount, LSI will re-invoice Customer for the shortfall. Should payment in full of any invoice (aside from such shortfalls) not be received by LSI within ten (15) days after activation or renewal, LSI may discontinue service and impose a debt service charge amounting to $6.25 (or such lesser amount as may be required by law) for each month or fraction there of the overdue amount remains unpaid. In the event that any amount remains unpaid ten (15) days after presentation of invoice, LSI may withhold or suspend services, and may terminate this agreement pursuant to paragraph 10.C. below.

  2. PRICES
    1. All prices for Plans provided by LSI to Customer are in US dollars.
    2. Customer shall be responsible for paying all taxes of any nature which become due with regard to LSI's services, except for taxes on LSI's income, irrespective of which party may be responsible for reporting or collecting such taxes.

  3. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY LSI
    1. During the term of this agreement, LSI will provide services to Customer according to the Plan(s) accepted by Customer. "Plan" means one of LSI's proposals for offering various services, as listed on line at http://www.lstar.net/plans/.

      The specific Plan(s) for services to be provided to Customer shall be established by correspondence between LSI and Customer. Such Plan(s) shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this agreement. LSI and Customer shall retain copies of such Plan(s) for future reference. On-line changes made by LSI to any Plan shall not change the terms of the Plan(s) accepted by Customer, unless such changes do not adversely affect the services provided to Customer under the prior Plan(s).

    2. At Customer's request, LSI will acquire an Internet Second-Level Domain Name ("SLD"), from the US InterNIC or successor registrar only, on behalf of Customer. Such a request by Customer and/or Customer's acceptance or use of the SLD obtained by LSI shall in all cases constitute Customer's waiver of any and all claims which it may have, or which may later arise, against LSI for any loss, damage, claim or expense arising out of, or related to, the acquisition, registration, and/or use of such SLD. Any costs of LSI in obtaining or maintaining a domain name for Customer or its customers shall be immediately reimbursed to LSI upon invoice from LSI to Customer.

  4. RULES AND REGULATIONS From time to time LSI may impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding theuse of its services. Such rules and regulations are currently called Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) and are posted on the Internet at http://www.lstar.net/support/policy/. Such AUPs are incorporated by reference into this agreement.

  5. DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY; LSIMITATIONS ON LSI'S OBLSIGATIONS AND LSIABILSITIES
    1. LSI's liability to Customer hereunder is limited to the amount paid to and received by LSI for services not accepted. LSI is proud of its record in providing state-of-the-art, reliable services, and will use its best efforts to maintain performance at the high level to which its customers have become accustomed, but LSI MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLSIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF NON- INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILSITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LSI CANNOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS SERVICE, SERVICE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME, INTEGRITY OF DATA STORED OR TRANSMITED VIA ITS SYSTEM. NEITHER LSI NOR ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN PROVIDING SERVICES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LSIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR ANY OTHER) THAT ARISE OUT OF THE USE OR INABILSITY TO USE SUCH SERVICES, whether or not resulting from fault or negligence on LSI's part, even if LSI has been advised as to the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions may prohibit certain disclaimers, so the above disclaimers may not apply. Customer's local jurisdiction's laws will apply only to the extent they override this agreement.

    2. Customer will take all necessary measures to preclude LSI from being made a party to any lawsuit or claim regarding LSI services provided to Customer. Customerhereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless LSI from any and all such lawsuits or claims.

  6. PROPERTY RIGHTS LSI owns all right, title and interest in and to LSI's trade names, service marks, inventions, copyrights, trade secrets, patents, and know-how relating to the design, function,or operation of Plans and of the hardware and software systems and resources necessary to provide the individual service elements of which they consist. This agreement does not constitute a license to Customer to use LSI's trade names or service marks. Any such license must be the subject of a separate written agreement.

  7. PRIVACY
    1. LSI will not sell, and will not knowingly disclose, its customer lists or customer email or listserv address lists (although it cannot guarantee that such information will never be found out). LSI will cooperate with those attempting to minimize net abuse, and reserves the right to institute "filters" or other mechanisms as part of its efforts to reduce net abuse.

    2. LSI will not monitor or disclose Customer's private email messages unless required to do so by court order or law, but LSI will cooperate with law enforcement authorities and will notify such authorities if it suspects that Customer is engaged in illegal activities.

  8. CONFIDENTIALSITY Customer acknowledges that by reason of its relationship with LSI hereunder, it may have access to certain information and materials relating to LSI's business plans, customers, software technology, and marketing strategies that is confidential and of substantial value to LSI, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties. Customer agrees that it will not use in any way for its own account nor for the account of any third party, nor disclose to any third party, any such information revealed to it by LSI. Customer further agrees that it will take every reasonable precaution to protect the confidentiality of such information. In the event of termination of this agreement, Customer shall not disclose any such confidential information in its possession, and shall return all confidential materials to LSI or destroy them, at LSI's option. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this agreement. Upon any breach or threatened breach of this section, LSI shall be entitled to injunctive relief.

  9. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES; NATURE OF AGREEMENT The relationship between LSI and Customer is that of vendor and vendee. The parties shall not be construed as being joint venturers, franchiser/franchisee, or employer/employee. Even if Customer is an individual, this agreement is a commercial agreement entered into for business purposes, not a consumer agreement. Customer has no authority, apparent or otherwise, to contract for or on behalf of LSI, or in any other way legally bind LSI in any fashion, nor shall Customer be authorized to make any representations about LSI or its services other than to set forth the contents of this agreement, of any Plan(s) contracted for, and of any rules and regulations promulgated by LSI from time to time.

  10. TERM, TERMINATION
    1. Initial term. Unless otherwise terminated as set forth herein, this agreement shall be effective for the term stated in the initial order.

    2. Automatic renewal. This agreement shall be renewed automatically for subsequent terms of the same length unless, at least twenty (20) days prior to the next renewal date, one party gives notice of non-renewal to the other. If, prior to the renewal date, LSI tenders to Customer a copy of LSI's then-current Customer Agreement with notice that renewal is conditioned on Customer's agreement thereto, any renewal by customer will be deemed to be an acceptance of the terms contained in such subsequent Customer Agreement, rather than a renewal pursuant to the terms contained herein. Upon automatic renewal of this Agreement, the Plan(s) accepted by Customer shall be deemed to be the then-current Plan(s) most closely resembling Customer's prior accepted Plan(s), provided that such subsequent Plan(s) shall be at least as favorable to Customer as any prior Plan(s).

        2. immediately upon written notice to Customer, in the event that
          1. Customer, in the sole judgment of LSI, violates the AUPs, in which case LSI may either terminate this agreement, or suspend it pending discussions with Customer.

  12. PARTIAL INVALSIDITY If any provision of this agreement is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisionsshall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. LSI and Customer agree to renegotiate in good faith any term held invalid and to be bound by mutually agreed substitute provision.
