This Agreement shall be for an "Initial Term"
of thirty (30) days for all services -- including Dedicated
and Managed Hosting. Customer agrees to all terms and conditions
of services provided by Coloalacarte.com, beginning upon
receipt by fax, e-mail, or express mail.
2. All
charges for service must be paid in advance according to
the then current price applicable to the Services. Upon
registration for Dedicated and Managed hosting, customer
must choose to pay for the Services either by credit card
or upon your receipt of an invoice. If customer chooses
to pay by credit card upon registering for Dedicated Hosting
services, customer thereby authorizes Coloalacarte.com to
charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges
that may apply to your account. Customer agrees that Coloalacarte.com
may accumulate any supplemental charges, as described in
the Order Form, incurred by you in your use of the Services
("Supplemental Charges") until such charges exceed
$20 and then charge your card. Customer must notify Coloalacarte.com
of any changes to your card account (including, without
limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or
expiration of the account), your billing address, or any
information that may prohibit Coloalacarte.com from charging
your account.
Refund
and Disputes: All payments to Coloalacarte.com are nonrefundable.
This includes installation, professional support fees and
any 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 Coloalacarte.com sole discretion
is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and /or
AUP, you agree to pay Coloalacarte.com an "Administrative
Fee” of not less than $50 and not more than $150.
Failure
to Pay: The Company may temporarily deny service
or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber
to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will
not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment
of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any
collection fees.
Account
Cancellation: Requests for canceling accounts may
be made in writing with at least 15 days notice but not
more than 45 days prior written notice.

request to cancel@coloalacrate.com. Any cancellation request
sent to other departments will not be processed and there
is no exception.(such as billing, sale, reboot department
and etc…)
Once you submit
your cancellation an email will be sent to the primary contact
email address we have on file which will contain a link
that you must click on to verify that your cancellation
request is valid for the service/s specified in the email.
The link contained in this email must be verified and clicked
on within 48 hours of your request or it will expire. Once
you click on the link your cancellation will be processed
within 48 hours or less and we will send you a confirmation
that your request has been completed.
If you receive
the email containing the verification link and do not click
on it within 48 hours your request for a cancellation will
not be processed and monthly recurring charges will continue
to be charged to the credit card information found on file.
An email will be sent to the primary contact email address
on the account to advise you that your cancellation request
has not been processed.
If you fail to
click on the link within the 48 hours you may resubmit your
cancellation request.
**If you do not
receive the email we recommend that you contact the customer
service asap. **
You must have
all account information to cancel.
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.
3. This Agreement will be automatically
renewed (the "Renewal Term") at the end of the Initial Term
for the same period as the Initial Term unless you provide
Coloalacarte.com with notice of termination either (a) at
least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term
or the Renewal Term, whichever is then applicable.

activation of account. Activation takes effect on the date
of receipt of payment, and will be renewed automatically
for identical successive periods. Any changes made to the
customer's package shall be billed accordingly.

acceptance by Coloalacarte.com. An order will be deemed
accepted by our company when confirmation of the order is
sent to the customer. We may refuse to accept any order,

or other down time to the pro-rate monthly charge during
the system unavailability. Coloalacarte.com specifically
denies any responsibilities for any damages arising from
a consequence of such unavailability. In the event that

over the choice of the third arbitrator. The three arbitrators
shall schedule an informal proceeding, hear the arguments,
and decide the matter by secret majority vote. Unless the
arbitrators decide otherwise, each party shall pay the costs
of its own arbitrator, and shall pay half of the other costs
of the arbitration proceeding.
Each party shall have the right
to have the proceedings transcribed. The arbitrators will
not have the authority to award punitive damages or any
other form of relief not contemplated in the contract. The
majority of arbitrators shall render a written opinion setting
forth the basis on which they arrived at the decision regarding
each issue submitted to arbitration; the dissenting arbitrator,
if any, shall not issue a dissenting opinion. Regarding
each issue submitted to arbitration, the decision will be

at. Judgment upon the award, if any, rendered by the arbitrators
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

under this agreement be taken to enforce the conditions
and terms of this agreement, in particular the right to
collect money due on unpaid invoices, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover reasonable legal fees and expenses
incurred at the trial and appellate levels.

may have access to certain products, information and materials
relating to the other party's business, which may include
business plans, customers, software technology, and marketing
plans that are confidential and of substantial value to
either party, respectively, and which value would be impaired
if such information were disclosed to third parties. Consequently,
both Coloalacarte.com and customer agree that it will not
use in any way for its own account or for the account of
any third party, nor disclose to any third party, any such
information revealed to it by either party, as the case
may be.

further agree that it will take every appropriate precaution
to protect the confidentiality of such information. In the
event of termination of this agreement, there shall be no
use or disclosure by either party of any such confidential
information in its possession, and all confidential documents
shall be returned to the rightful owner, or destroyed. The
provisions of this section shall survive the termination
of the agreement for any reason. Upon any breach or threatened
breach of this section, either party shall be entitled to
injunctive relief, which relief will not be contested by
the customer or Coloalacarte.com.
