IDC Web Hosting Services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission of any material in violation of any U.S. or state regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret. You agree to indemnify and hold IDC harmless from any claims resulting from your use of its services which damages you or another party.

Any access to other networks connected to IDC's network must comply with the rules appropriate for that other network. Connectivity is provided for your organization only.

Use of IDC Web Hosting Services to send Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE or "spam") may be cause for immediate account termination. This restriction extends to UCE sent from another service but referencing sites on IDC servers. You agree to pay IDC its reasonable expenses, including attorney and system administration fees, incurred in responding to complaints and damages caused by the action of sending UCE.

Billing for IDC's service will normally commence when your data file access is installed on the IDC server and can be accessed from the Internet. Service is invoiced quarterly in advance and may be cancelled in writing within 30 days prior to the end of each quarter with no penalty. IDC reserves the right to change the rates by notifying you 60 days in advance of the effective date of the change. Rate changes that occur during an account's current billed period will not take affect until the next billing period.

Payment is due prior to the first day of the invoiced billing period. Accounts are automatically renewed on a quarterly basis unless a written request for termination has been submitted as described above. Payments are non-refundable once a billing period has commenced. Accounts are in default if payment is not received by the date of invoiced billing date. A $15 late fee is assessed 15 DAYS AFTER THE BILLING PERIOD DUE DATE to all accounts that remain in default. If your payment is returned to us unpaid you are immediately in default and subject to a returned check charge of $25 from us. Accounts in default may have their service interrupted ANY TIME AFTER THE 15TH DAY. Such interruption does not relieve you from the obligation to pay the invoiced charge PLUS ANY LATE OR COLLECTION FEES. Accounts in default are subject to an interest charge of 1.75% per month on the outstanding balance. If your state law does not allow an interest rate of 1.75% per month, the maximum allowable rate for your state will be charged. If you default, you agree to pay IDC its reasonable expenses, including attorney and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under these Terms and Conditions.

IDC reserves the right to deactivate your account and/or interrupt your services, either temporarily or permanently, in the event of payment problems including but not limited to: recurring late payments, declined credit payments and returned checks. IDC may also deactivate your account should any of the terms herein be violated. Deactivation of your account will not relieve you from the obligation to pay the invoiced charge.

These Terms and Conditions supersede all previous representations, understandings or agreements and shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with terms and conditions of any order submitted. Use of IDC's service constitutes acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
