Individuals, organizations, and businesses located in countries
subject to United States embargoes as well as any person, listed

you acknowledge that you are not such a person, organization or

WebPageProductions
may amend or otherwise modify this Agreement at any time and from
time to time without notice. You will be bound by the amended Agreement
upon your continued use of the Services after the revised Agreement
is posted at www.mxwebsites.com. You may identify whether WebPageProductions
has revised this Agreement by referring to the Effective Date in
Section 8.9 below.
1. Services WebPageProductions
offers various website and web marketing plans as well as optional
add-on services which are published on MXWebsites.com. Subject to
these Terms of Service and during the term of this Agreement, WebPageProductions
agrees to provide to you the Services you select during the Sign-up
Process. WebPageProductions
reserves the right to amend its Services offerings and to add, delete,
suspend or modify the terms and conditions of the Services, at any
time, and to determine whether and when any such changes apply to
both existing and future customers.
2. Fees and Payment Terms
2.1 WebPageProductions
may charge set up fees, recurring service fees, and other one-time
fees for the services you have ordered (collectively "Service Fees").
The rate you will be billed for the Services is determined during
the sign up process and will not change during the term of this
agreement.
2.2 All Service Fees are due on the first day of the billing cycle.
All Service Fees and other monetary payments must be made in U.S.
Dollars. If you are not billed by invoice, you authorize WebPageProductions
to charge the credit card (your "Payment Process") that you provide
to WebPageProductions
for payment of the Service Fees for Services you order before WebPageProductions
activates the Services. You further authorize WebPageProductions
to charge you according to your Payment Process for the amount of
all subsequent periodic Service Fees (at WebPageProductions
then-current rates) prior to the commencement of any renewal period
for such Services as described in Section 3 of this Agreement and
for the amount of all other fees and charges (at WebPageProductions
then-current rates) as they become payable pursuant to this Agreement.
Services Fees and all other fees and charges that become due during
any renewal period will be charged according to your previous payment
option and/or Payment Process. All Payment Process payments are
deemed authorized by you and will be assessed in real time.
2.3 If WebPageProductions
does not receive payment from your Payment Processor (i.e., credit
or debit card issuer or other financial institution), you agree
to pay WebPageProductions
all amounts due upon demand. WebPageProductions
may charge you for a late payment fee equal to one percent (1.0%)
on any overdue balance, or the maximum amount allowed by law if
less, for as long as the overdue amount remains unpaid. WebPageProductions
may also charge you for a reasonable administrative fee for any
returned checks or if your Payment Processor declines payment. You
agree to pay WebPageProductions
collection costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, if WebPageProductions
is required to take action to collect any amounts that you fail
to pay when due pursuant to this Agreement.
2.4 WebPageProductions
may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, immediately suspend or
terminate your Services without notice to you if you fail to provide
valid Payment Processor information or authorization or fail to
pay for any Services when due. WebPageProductions
may charge a Ten Dollar ($10.00) fee to reinstate any Service that
has been suspended or terminated.
2.5 There is a non-refundable registration fee for all new domains
that you purchase through WebPageProductions.
WebPageProductions
may automatically pay this fee as well as all annual non-refundable
renewal fees (both fees also "Service Fees") up to thirty (30) days
in advance of the renewal date on your behalf provided your account
is active and current. These Service Fees will appear on your next
billing statement unless prior arrangements are made with the WebPageProductions
customer service department. You agree that you are responsible
for reimbursing WebPageProductions
for all Service Fees advanced on your behalf.
3. Term and Termination
3.1 The Agreement will continue for the term stated during the
Sign-up Process or, if no term is stated, on a month-to-month basis.
The Agreement will automatically renew for successive terms, each
equal in length to that of the initial term. Each renewal will be
governed by the Agreement in effect (posted on our website) at the
time of the renewal. Either party may terminate this Agreement effective
at the end of the then current term, whether annual, month-to-month
or some other fixed term, upon at least forty five (45) days notice
prior to the end of the then current term and such termination will
be effective upon expiration on the last day of the then current
term. The termination of this Agreement will constitute the termination
of all of your Services.

may, in its sole and exclusive discretion, suspend or terminate
your Services immediately and without notice to you.
