Client may occupy only the amount of disk space allowed under
the hosting plan you selected on the 1-choice.com Server and
utilize no more than the network bandwidth which is allotted
by 1-choice.com. Client may be charged a penalty or billed for
over-utilization of either disk space or network bandwidth.
- No "Spam".
Client shall not use the Services for chain letters, junk
mail, spamming, or any use of distribution lists to any person
who has not given specific permission to be included in such a
process. Client also shall not engage in any unsolicited email
practices at 1-choice.com, or otherwise, that mention or
reference any domain hosted on 1-choice.com servers or parked
on 1-choice.com DNS servers.
- Licensed Software
Only. Client agrees to use only
properly licensed third party software in connection with
Client's use of the Services.
- Back-Up Files. Client will have the ability to reinstate
files which are automatically archived by 1-choice.com;
however, 1-choice.com does not guarantee the existence,
accuracy, or regularity of its backup services and, therefore,
Client is responsible for making back-up files in connection
with its use of the Services.
- Termination.
FCP, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this
Agreement if Client engages in any of the foregoing. To report
any unacceptable behavior by a third party using the Services,
please contact abuse@1-choice.com
- Use By Minors. FCP Systems does not sell its products and
services to minors under the age of 18. FCP Systems sells such
products and services to adults, who can purchase with a
credit card. Minors under the age of 18 may purchase such
products and services of 1-choice.com Systems only with the
involvement of a parent or guardian in the transaction.
- PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
Service Fees. By the Seventh (7th) of each month, FCP
shall deliver by e-mail or regular mail an invoice to Client
in accordance with the applicable Services fees for services
rendered for the current month. Where an invoice is delivered
to Client, Client shall remit payment to First Choice
Publishing, L.L.C. by no later than the specified payment due
date. First Choice Publishing, L.L.C. shall be entitled to
immediately terminate this Agreement for Client's failure to
make timely payments to FCP. Certain services carry a set-up
fee charged by FCP to Client that must be paid by Client in
order to have use of the Services. If Client terminates this
Agreement in accordance with Section 4 hereunder, Client shall
be responsible for any outstanding fees owed to FCP and agrees
to pay any and all fees incurred by Client. Because the
Services are provided on a monthly basis, Client will be
responsible for Service fees incurred each month regardless of
when Client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example,
if Client provides notice to terminate on the 15th of a
particular month, Client will still owe fees for the entire
month and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded. If
Client has retained the Services for one (1) year and has
pre-paid FCP for such Services, Client agrees that no refunds
will be issued for any unused portion of the Services
regardless of when Client cancels the Services. Therefore, if
Client's account is cancelled at any point during the one (1)
year term, Client will not be entitled to a pro-rated refund.
Domain Names.
If Client chooses to register a domain name(s) through
1-choice.com, Client acknowledges and agrees that Client will
pay a registration fee(s) to register the domain name(s) with
the applicable domain name registrar. First Choice Publishing,
L.L.C. does not offer refunds for domain name registrations
for any reason, including misspelling of the domain name.
- CLIENT LIABILITY AND
INDEMNIFICATION
The parties agree that in no event shall FCP be liable to any
third party for Client's breach or alleged breach of any of the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Client agrees
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless First Choice Publishing,
L.L.C. from any and all expenses, losses, liabilities, damages
or third party claims resulting from Client's breach or alleged
breach of any Client obligations set forth hereunder.
- TERM, TERMINATION &
REINSTATEMENT
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Agreement shall
be effective on the date you register for the Services, and
shall continue in effect on a month-to-month basis unless
otherwise specified by separate agreement (the "Term") unless
terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.
Either party will have the right to terminate this Agreement
upon notice to the other party. Should the client wish to
terminate this Agreement, Client must send a cancellation
request to our support department by filling out our
account cancellation form. Such cancellation request must
include the Client's name, username, and contact information.
Client is responsible to remove files from the server before the
last business day of the respective day for which cancellation
is requested. All accounts are cancelled as soon as the client
submits the account cancellation form. FCP will not be held responsible
for any files deleted on that day. The cancellation procedure is
subject to change without notice.
- TAXES
Client will pay and indemnify and hold FCP harmless from any and
all taxes associated with or arising from Client's use of the

associated with the collection or withholding thereof.
