Small Business Web StoresSM Service Agreement

Small Business Web StoresSM is a service of BroadSpire, Inc.®, hereinafter collectively referred to as “BroadSpire.”

By placing an order with BroadSpire you are agreeing to the terms and conditions as set forth below. Please read the entire Agreement carefully before placing an order.

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

Definitions
  1. "Plans" means proposals for offering various services to be provided by BroadSpire, as listed online at the corporate websites. "Plans" does not include the use of BroadSpire's trademark.
  2. "Customer" means an end user who is utilizing services provided by BroadSpire.
Prices
  1. All prices for Plans provided by BroadSpire to Customer are US dollars.
  2. Customer shall be responsible for paying all taxes of any nature which become due with regard to BroadSpire's services, except for taxes on BroadSpire's income, irrespective of which party may be responsible for reporting or collecting such taxes.
Order Acceptance, Payment
  1. All orders are subject to acceptance by BroadSpire. An order will be deemed accepted by BroadSpire when written confirmation of the order is sent to Customer. BroadSpire may refuse to accept any order, or delay acceptance pending fulfillment of conditions BroadSpire may choose to impose. Such refusal or such conditions may not be unreasonable, however, and BroadSpire agrees to provide Customer with reasonable notice via Email or fax of any intent to delay or decline the acceptance of any order.
  2. Payment and Terms: Payment shall be made in US dollars to BroadSpire into the account designated by BroadSpire, or as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties. Payments are due upon presentation of invoice. If due to bank charges, transfer fees, or the like, BroadSpire should receive less than its invoice amount, BroadSpire will re-invoice Customer for the shortfall. Should payment in full of any invoice (aside from such shortfalls) not be received by BroadSpire within thirty (30) days after presentation, BroadSpire will impose a debt service charge amounting to one percent (1.5%) of the overdue balance for each month or fraction thereof the overdue amount remains unpaid. In the event that any amount remains unpaid, BroadSpire may discontinue, withhold, or suspend services to Customer and/or its customer(s) to whom such unpaid amounts relate.
Duties of BroadSpire
BroadSpire will acquire, on request, an Internet Domain Name on behalf of the Customer at pre-determined prices that are posted online at www.smallbusinessWeb Stores.com. In such case the Customer hereby waives in writing prior to acquisition of said domain name, any and all claims which it may have against BroadSpire for any loss, damage, claim or expense arising out of, or in relation to, the registration of such Domain Name in any on-line or off-line network directories, membership lists or registration lists, or the release of the Domain Name from such directories or lists following the termination of services by BroadSpire for any reason. All domain registration fees are NOT refundable for any reason whatsoever.
Rules and Regulations
BroadSpire may impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding the use of its services from time to time. Customer shall impose such rules and regulations on its customers to the extent necessary to ensure compliance. This information is posted on the Internet at: http://www.broadspire.com/company/aup.html
Limitation of BroadSpire's Obligations and Liability
  1. BroadSpire will utilize its best efforts to maintain acceptable performance of services contracted for services, but BroadSpire makes absolutely no warranties whatsoever, express or implied, including warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. BroadSpire cannot guarantee continuous service, service at any particular time, or integrity of data stored or transmitted via its system or via the Internet. BroadSpire will not be liable for the inadvertent disclosure of, or corruption or erasure of, data transmitted or received or stored on its system. BroadSpire shall not be liable to Customer or any of its customers for any claims or damages which may be suffered by Customer or its customers, including, but not limited to, losses or damages of any and every nature, resulting from the loss of data, inability to access Internet, or inability to transmit or receive information, caused by, or resulting from, delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions whether or not caused by the fault or negligence of BroadSpire.
  2. BroadSpire may discontinue servicing any Plan, or may require fulfillment of conditions BroadSpire may choose to impose as a prerequisite for continuing to service any Plan. Such discontinuation or requirement may not be unreasonable, however, and BroadSpire agrees to provide Customer with reasonable notice via Email and fax of any such intent to discontinue or impose conditions. BroadSpire reserves the right to discontinue service to Client without notice if Customer's account is extraordinarily taxing system resources, Customer's account has been hacked or breached by unauthorized parties, or if any action arising from Customer's account threatens the integrity of BroadSpire's services. Customer understands that BroadSpire does not monitor Customer's accounts for content, account breaches, integrity of any programs that Customer may install within the account, or otherwise. The full responsibility of all such accounts and actions resulting from such accounts is solely that of the Customer.
  3. Services provided by BroadSpire to Customer shall be deemed accepted for all purposes thirty days after presentation of invoice for such services, if no written claim or objection regarding such services has been received by BroadSpire within the 30-day period. No claim related to such accepted services shall be raised.
  4. BroadSpire's liability to Customer, and any end user of any Plan or other BroadSpire service is limited to the amount paid to and received by BroadSpire for services accepted. In no event shall BroadSpire be liable to Customer, or any end user or any other entity for any special, consequential, or other damages, however caused, whether for breach of contract, negligence or otherwise, even if BroadSpire has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
  5. Customer will take all necessary measures to preclude BroadSpire from being made a party to any lawsuit or claim regarding BroadSpire services provided to any Customer or end user.

Customer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BroadSpire from any and all claims of whatever nature brought by any of Customer's customers against BroadSpire in excess of the remedy set forth in paragraph 7(D).

Property Rights
BroadSpire owns all right, title and interest in BroadSpire'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 BroadSpire's trade names or service marks. The use by Customer of the other property rights mentioned here is authorized only for the purposes of marketing and selling Plans in the Territory.
Confidentiality
Customer acknowledges that by reason of its relationship with BroadSpire hereunder, it may have access to certain information and materials relating to BroadSpire's business, plans, customers, software technology, and marketing strategies that is confidential and of substantial value to BroadSpire 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 BroadSpire's 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, there shall be no use or disclosure by the Customer of any such confidential information in its possession, and all confidential materials shall be returned to BroadSpire or destroyed. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of the agreement for any reason. Upon any breach or threatened breach of this section, BroadSpire shall be entitled to injunctive relief, which relief shall not be contested by Customer.
Relationship of the Parties

The relationship between BroadSpire and Customer is that of vendor and vendee. They shall not be construed as being joint ventures, franchiser/franchisee, or employer/employee.

This agreement is a commercial agreement between businesses, not a consumer agreement. Customer has no authority, apparent or otherwise, to contract for or on behalf of BroadSpire, or in any other way legally bind BroadSpire in any fashion, nor shall Customer be authorized to make any representations about BroadSpire or its services other than to set forth BroadSpire's responsibilities as outlined in this agreement.

Disputes
The parties shall attempt to resolve all disputes arising out of this agreement in a spirit of cooperation without formal proceedings. Any dispute which cannot be so resolved (other than the collection of money due on unpaid invoices) and other than the injunctive relief referred to in paragraph 10 shall be subject to arbitration upon written demand of either party. Arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California. The arbitration shall take place before an arbitration panel chosen as follows: The parties shall each choose an arbitrator, and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator and determine the third arbitrator's compensation. Each party shall have one veto over the choice of the third arbitrator. The three arbitrators shall schedule an informal proceeding, hear the arguments, and decide the matter by secret majority vote. Unless the arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall pay the costs of its own arbitrator, and shall pay half of the other costs of the arbitration proceeding. Each party shall have the right to have the proceedings transcribed. The arbitrators shall not have the authority to award punitive damages or any other form of relief not contemplated in the contract. The majority of arbitrators shall render a written opinion setting forth the basis on which they arrived at the decision regarding each issue submitted to arbitration; the dissenting arbitrator, if any, shall not issue a dissenting opinion. Regarding each issue submitted to arbitration, the decision shall be final and binding only to the extent it is accompanied by a written explanation of the basis upon which it was arrived at. Judgment upon the award, if any, rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Should any legal action permissible under this agreement be instituted to enforce the terms and conditions of this agreement, in particular the right to collect money due on unpaid invoices, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred at both the trial and appellate levels.
