Adult Content
Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on our servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content or provide links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites.
Child Pornography
The use of our services to store, post, display, transmit, advertise or otherwise make available child pornography is prohibited. We are required by law, and will, notify law enforcement agencies when we become aware of the presence of child pornography on, or being transmitted through, our services.
Privacy
We are concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and websites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, we urge our customers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. We cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over our facilities.
Customer Responsibility
Customers are required to use our services responsibly. This includes respecting our other customers. We reserve the right to suspend and/or cancel service with any customer who uses our services in such a way that adversely affects other My Web Maestro customers. While we may monitor our service electronically to determine that our facilities are operating satisfactorily, as a general practice, we do not monitor our customers’ communications or activities to determine whether they are in compliance with the TOS.
Actions Taken by My Web Maestro
The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the TOS is grounds for account deactivation. We will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the TOS. We reserve the right to remove any account without prior notice and to refuse service to anyone at any time. When we become aware of an alleged violation of its TOS, we will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, we may restrict a customer’s access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, we may, at our discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer’s Web hosting account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, we will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the TOS if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. We do not issue credits for outages incurred through service disablement resulting from TOS violations. Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by us.
Indemnification
Our customers agree to protect, defend, hold harmless, and indemnify us, any third party entity related to us (including, without limitation, third party vendors), and our executives, directors, officers, attorneys, managers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, parent companies, subsidiaries, and co-subsidiaries with the same parent company as ourselves, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, judgments, damages, claims, or causes of actions, including, without limitation, any and all legal fees and expenses, arising out of or resulting in any from the customer’s use of our services.

Termination for Bankruptcy or Insolvency

Such customer consents to the grant of relief from any automatic stay of proceedings against us in such event.
Modifications
We may discontinue, upgrade, replace, modify, or change in any way, without limitation, any software, application, program, data, hardware, equipment, or portions or components thereof, used to provide customers with our services. Certain changes to our services may affect the operation of customers’ personalized applications and content. Each customer is solely responsible, and we are not liable, for any and all such personalized applications and content, except as expressly agreed to by us.

Minimum Age Requirement
Our customers must be at least 18 years of age. Any individual under the age of 18 years (“Minor”) must have a parent or guardian accept the TOS in order for the Minor to become our customer. A parent or guardian who accepts the TOS on behalf of a Minor will be primarily liable for ensuring complete and proper compliance with the TOS, including the timely and full payment of the charges for our services, and such primary liability will continue even when the Minor has attained the age of 18, unless the parent or guardian obtains our express written consent to the contrary. Any acceptance of the TOS or any other agreement for our services will be deemed null and void to the extent that we will not be liable in any way as a result of the Minor’s age or legal incapacity or the Minor’s use of our services.
Governing Law and Severability
The TOS, and any other agreement for our services, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, USA without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. Any litigation or arbitration between a customer and My Web Maestro will take place in Michigan, and the customer will consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in that jurisdiction. If any provision or portion of the TOS or other My Web Maestro agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the TOS or the agreement will continue in full force and effect.
Force Majeure
We will not be liable for delays in our performance of the TOS or our services caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, wars, insurrection, civil commotions, riots, national disasters, earthquakes, strikes, fires, floods, water damage, explosions, shortages of labor or materials, labor disputes, transportation problems, accidents, embargoes, or governmental restrictions (collectively “Force Majeure”). We will make reasonable efforts to reduce to a minimum and mitigate the effect of any Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere herein, lack of finances will not be considered an event of Force Majeure nor will any event of Force Majeure suspend any obligation of customers for the payment of money due.
Waiver and Amendment
Any waiver, modification, or amendment of any provision of the TOS or other agreement for our services, initiated by a customer, will be effective only if accepted in writing and signed by an authorized representative of My Web Maestro.
Independent Contractors
Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as creating a partnership or relationship of employer and employee, principal and agent, partnership or joint venture between us and our customers. We and our customers will be deemed independent at all times and will have no right or authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of the other, except as may be expressly provided herein.
Construction and Interpretation
Wherever in this TOS the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender is used, it will be construed as including all genders, and wherever the singular is used, it will be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, where the context so requires. The division of the TOS into sections/paragraphs, and the insertion of headings/captions, are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of the TOS. Any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguity is to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applicable in the construction or interpretation of the TOS.
Complete Agreement and Exclusivity
The TOS, and/or any other specific agreement for our services, constitutes the complete understanding and agreement between us and our customers. Except when expressly agreed to the contrary in signed writing by an authorized representative of My Web Maestro, the TOS supersedes any other written (including digitized/computerized) agreement, oral agreement, and/or agreement by conduct. This TOS, and/or any other specific agreement for our services is between us and our customers only and will not confer any rights in any third party except as otherwise expressly provided by us.
