All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service) of Chrispyking-Design. Subscriber understands that changes to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.

This Agreement shall be construed in all respects to be in accordance with the laws of the state of Virginia, city of Portsmouth, applicable to contracts enforceable in that state. Venue will be City of Portsmouth, Virginia.

1. Service Rates: Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers.
   
   
2. Payment: Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month's service. Accounts and services provided by Chrispyking-Design to users in Virginia may be subject to the current tax rate as imposed by the State of Virginia which is currently 5%.
   
   
3. Payments and Fees: Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a £10.00 declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 25 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a £25 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to a 5% late fee. Accounts that are not collectable by Chrispyking-Design may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a "Processing and Collection" Fee of not less than £50 nor more than £150. If you desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure to do this as outlined in this TOS.
   
   
4. Refund and Disputes: All payments to Chrispyking-Design are non-refundable, excepting the first thirty days of service. This includes the one time setup fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 60 days of the time the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer that, in Chrispyking-Design's sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and/or AUP, you agree to pay Chrispyking-Design an "Administrative Fee" of not less than £50 and not more than £150.
   
   
5. Failure to Pay: The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due.

7. Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company's liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.
   
   
8. New Domain Accounts: All new Web hosting accounts involving new domains will be set up and entered into our DNS servers within 3 to 5 business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this process may sometimes require up to 7 business days.
   
   
9. Transfer of Domains: New Web hosting accounts which require Chrispyking-Design to handle the transfer of a domain from another provider to Chrispyking-Design can require up to seven (7) days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer may take. If the transfer of the domain is done by Chrispyking-Design on behalf of the account holder a £25 handling fee will be incurred. If the customer cancels service during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered earned. (Note: this does not apply to an automated domain name transfer that is handled by the Subscriber.)
