Users, Agencies and Accounts agree and understand that from time to time, the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Marketpath may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond the control of Marketpath or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Marketpath including interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks or network congestion or other failures (collectively “Downtime”). Host shall provide twenty-four (24) hour advance notice to Users, Agencies and Accounts in event of any scheduled Downtime. If availability falls below 99.9%, Marketpath will issue a pro-rated, no-cash-value credit for the additional percentage of time in which an Account is unavailable as a result of acts or omissions caused by Marketpath using downtime monitoring such as Pingdom or a comparable service. Marketpath will not in any way be liable to Users, Accounts or Agencies for additional direct or indirect damages incurred as a result of excessive downtime. This guarantee does not include down-time caused by the acts or omissions of Users, Accounts or Agencies, nor does it include down-time caused by third-party software or applications not developed by Marketpath and which may be utilized on any particular Site or Account. Live Sites will be accessible at reasonable, industry-standard page load speeds for rendering similar live websites. Marketpath is also not responsible for reduced page load speeds caused by the acts or omissions of developers, Users, Accounts or Agencies that increase data lookups and constrain server processing.
-
Account Use. The registered users of a Site within the Services may access their account by keying in their preferred username and password as selected by or assigned to them upon completion of the registration process. Username is a valid email address intended for one (1) person. Password is case sensitive. Accounts deleted by the Account or User will be “soft-deleted,” rendering them inaccessible. If the Account has not been restored within ninety (90) days from the date it was first deleted by the Account or User, the Account will be permanently deleted. Marketpath may attempt to restore any permanently-deleted Account upon request and upon proof of up-to-date payment, but Marketpath makes no assurances or guarantees that it will be restored, nor does Marketpath guarantee that it will attempt to restore such Accounts. If restoration is requested, Marketpath may provide an estimate but you understand and acknowledge that it is merely an estimate and is not binding upon Marketpath as the actual costs could be substantially different depending on how long the Account has been deleted and how much labor is required to restore it. In the event restoration of permanently-deleted Accounts are attempted by Marketpath, regardless of whether such effort is successful, the Account and User shall be responsible for payment of Marketpath’s standard fee for undertaking such efforts.
Users and/or Accounts shall be solely responsible and liable:
- for maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of Your password;
- for preventing any disclosure of Your password to any third party, via any online or offline media including, without limitation, message boards, public or private forums, blogs, social networking websites, etc.;
- for any use of Accounts or Sites by third parties resulting from sharing your password, which is expressly prohibited and forbidden and which may result in the immediate disabling or termination of affected Accounts or Sites;
- for all uses of Your account – authorized or unauthorized; and
- to notify Marketpath immediately, if You suspect any unauthorized use of Your Account or Site.
-
Invoicing and Payment. Accounts utilizing the Services shall be invoiced as follows:
- Sites under development, utilizing only the Preview Service, shall not be subject to a charge until such time as the Site is published and made available to the public.
- Prior to publishing a Site to the Live Service, Accounts shall establish a recurring credit or debit card charge for the selected services and an initial charge for the selected Services shall have been successfully made.
- Invoicing shall be determined based upon the Service Plan selected by the Account or Agency. Increases in billing due to account changes shall begin to accrue immediately upon selecting a different Service Plan. The selection of a reduced-price plan shall not affect billing for the then-current billing cycle or result in any refund for such then-current billing cycle, but shall begin on the next billing cycle.
- Marketpath reserves the right to accept or decline alternate forms of payment at its sole discretion, including through the use of check, ACH, Paypal or other means.
- All payments shall be made by a valid debit or credit card with sufficient available funds.
- Accounts may initially select to be billed through the Account or through an Agency.
- Accounts that have established their billing method and payment details with Marketpath cannot thereafter change their billing status to require billing through the Account’s Agency.
- Accounts selecting to be billed through an Agency shall be billed on the same billing cycle as the Agency.
- Accounts being billed through an Agency may thereafter elect to be billed directly, at which time the Account is responsible for timely establishing a billing and payment account with Marketpath. If the Account elects to terminate billing through an Agency but fails to establish its own direct billing prior to the next billing cycle, the Account shall become delinquent as identified herein.
- All Services shall be invoiced and paid on a monthly basis. There are no refunds after an invoice has been generated and issued.
- All payments shall be invoiced and paid at the beginning of each new billing cycle such that monthly payments shall thereafter be drawn from the designated credit or debit card on the same day each calendar month.
- Monthly payment obligations shall not be prorated. Therefore, if User fails to use a Site for the entire billed and paid monthly period, or deletes a Site altogether prior to the end of the then-current monthly term, no refund, rebate or credit shall accrue.
- In the event any charges accrue in a paid monthly term that exceed the standard amount paid by the User for that term, such charges shall be invoiced and paid on the next billing cycle.
- Marketpath will make three (3) attempts to process an automatic payment over a three (3) day period.
- If the payment fails each time, and if any charges applicable to an Account or Site shall become more than fourteen (14) days overdue, the Account (and any supported Sites) or individual Sites shall be suspended without further notice and interest shall accrue at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Affected Sites will display a message substantially similar to “This site is not currently available.” Notice of the suspension will be sent to the Account responsible for payment after the Account becomes 28 or more days delinquent.
- If all past-due payments are received by Marketpath after the suspension occurs and after the conclusion of the then-current billing period, both the past-due and current billings will be charged to the Account’s credit card or other approved payment method.
- If any charges applicable to an Account or Site shall become more than ninety (90) days overdue, the Account (and any supported Sites) or individual Sites shall be permanently deleted without further notice and all content shall be irretrievably lost.
