This Agreement is made and entered between SelectNet Internet Services, a division
of Pearl Technologies, Inc., a California Corporation (hereinafter called SelectNet),
and the customer (hereinafter called Customer) and supersedes any other written or oral
agreement or understanding. The following Terms and Conditions shall apply to the
provision and use of the products and services (individually a "Service" and collectively the
"Services") provided pursuant to a SelectNet Internet Services order form, submitted electronically
via SelectNet's Web site at http://www.select.net, or via U.S. Mail, Facsimile, or
hand-delivered. SelectNet may amend these Terms and Conditions at any time and post
them on its Web site (http://www.select.net) indicating the effective date thereof.
Your submittal of an order for service, or your continued use of SelectNet's service(s)
after an updated posting, shall be deemed to be your acceptance of any such modifications.
The use of SelectNet's services is subject to the following Terms and Conditions:
Orders for Service and Service Date. All orders for service are subject to acceptance
by SelectNet. An order will be deemed accepted by SelectNet when
confirmation of the order is sent to Customer. SelectNet may refuse to accept
any order, or delay acceptance, awaiting completion of conditions SelectNet may
choose to exercise. The Service Date shall be the date any SelectNet services
ordered under this Agreement are first available for use by Customer. Customer
understands and acknowledges that certain services require third-party involvement,
of which SelectNet has no control, and Service Date may be delayed or postponed,
or services as included in this Agreement or Order Form may be unavailable
to Customer. SelectNet shall endeavor to provide Customer with reasonable
notice by telephone, email or fax of any intent to delay or decline the
acceptance of any order, or if third-parties have notified SelectNet of
any delays or changes in available service.
Customer Use of Services. Customer agrees that SelectNet's services may
only be used for lawful purposes. Any use of the services that violates
any local, state, provincial, federal or international law is prohibited.
Customer also agrees that use of the services shall be in accordance with
SelectNet's Acceptable Use Policies, applicable Domain Name Registration Agreements and
Domain Name Dispute Policies, and others, which are posted on its Web site (http://www.select.net)
and modified from time to time. It is Customer's responsibility to monitor all policies
regularly to determine whether the policies have been modified. If changes
have been made, and if Customer does not agree with any policy change, Customer
must immediately stop using SelectNet's services and notify SelectNet of the
cancellation of service.
Term. The Term shall be as shown on the Order Form and shall begin
on the Service Date. In any case, the minimum length of term for services
shall be 1 month.
Renewal.
For initial multi-year or single-year terms: After the initial term, this
Agreement shall automatically renew for one (1) year terms at the same
fees unless a party gives the other party written termination notice at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then existing term.
For initial terms less than one (1) year: The Agreement shall renew
automatically for identical successive terms and for the same fees
unless either party provides notification of non-renewal at least ten
(10) days prior to the end of the current term to avoid being charged
for the next billing cycle.
Changes.SelectNet reserves the right to change these Terms and Conditions,
its services, fees, and order forms at any time, however, the service fees stated
on the Agreement or Order Form shall remain in effect during the term of the
Agreement. (If Customer has prepaid for services, the service fees stated on
the Agreement or Order Form shall remain in effect for the period that Customer
has prepaid.) Increases in fees, if any, shall become effective for the successive
term. Customer may elect not to accept any increase in fees, at which time
Customer may decide, at its sole discretion, to cancel this Agreement and
terminate service.
Payment of Initial Fees and Service Fees. SelectNet's accounting cycle begins
on the 1st of each month. Customer agrees to pay for the Services rendered by
SelectNet in advance of the time period for which the Services are to be provided.
Payment of Initial Fees (or Setup Fees) and the Service Fee for the first billing
period shall accompany the Agreement or Order Form for Service. SelectNet
shall not be obligated to provide or initiate any Services until this initial
payment has been received.
Payment for additional on-line time, additional Web site or FTP storage or
traffic, or co-location traffic shall be invoiced each month and is due and
payable according to the terms stated on the invoice. SelectNet has no
obligation to warn Customer regarding on-line time, traffic or storage.
Interruption of Services, Accounting Hold, and Cancellation for Nonpayment.
Services may be interrupted if any fees are delinquent, or if Customer engages
in any conduct or activities which SelectNet in its sole discretion believes
breaches any of the terms of this Agreement. Delinquent accounts are those that
remain unpaid 10 days beyond the beginning of the accounting cycle, or the
invoice due date, whichever is later. Any delinquent Customer accounts are
subject to a late charge of 1-1/2% per month and suspension of services
("accounting hold") and may not be used. SelectNet accounts on "accounting
hold" continue to accrue charges while they are on hold. Customer must
pay all past due amounts in order to remove accounts from their "accounting
hold" status.
In the event SelectNet instigates any legal action to collect any sums owed
by customer, SelectNet shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney
fees and costs incurred by SelectNet in connection with such legal action,
if a judgment in SelectNet's favor is entered in the legal action. An
interruption of service does not relieve Customer of its obligation to
continue to pay Service fees. This Agreement is cancelable by SelectNet
if Customer fails to pay any amount payable under this Agreement on the
date that such amount is due and payable.
Cancellation. The Agreement is cancelable by Customer upon payment of
all past-due fees and fees due for the remainder of the current term.
Unless otherwise required by Special Provisions for your service, the request to cancel this Agreement must be in writing at least thirty (30)
days prior to the end of the current term. Customer may send cancellation
request via an email message to customerservice@select.net, by postal mail,
or by fax. Upon receipt of notice of cancellation, SelectNet shall send
written confirmation via email, which shall indicate the effective date
of cancellation. If Customer does not receive this email confirmation

manner dispose of, and of its rights, privileges, or obligations under
this Agreement.

Customer and SelectNet that the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy
as approved and adopted by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) is hereby incorporated by reference in this Services Agreement and is
legally binding on the Customer and SelectNet with respect to all registrations
in the .com, .net and .org. top level domains.
Customer agrees to pay all fees charged by the issuing registrar relating to such
domain name(s), and hereby irrevocably waives any claims it may have against
SelectNet in respect of any decision of a naming authority to refuse to register
a domain name and, without limitation, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that
any administration or other charge paid by the Customer in respect of the
registration of the domain name is non- refundable in any event.
The first time Customer applies to use SelectNet's domain name registration,
administration, and renewal services, Customer will be asked to select a User name and
password. That User name and password are the means through
which Customer accesses certain Services. Please safeguard the User name and password from any
unauthorized use. Customer acknowledges and agree that in no event will SelectNet Internet Services be liable for the unauthorized use or
misuse of Customer's User name or password.
SelectNet considers the entity named as the administrative contact for the domain name

Customer acknowledges that SelectNet is not responsible for the actions taken by
OpenSRS, ICANN or the issuing registrar and, therefore, SelectNet makes no
representations, guarantees or warranties regarding: (1) the ability to obtain
or to continue to use any particular domain name; (2) the use of such domain name
by Customer not infringing on any third party rights; or (3) the ability to resolve
any domain name into its associated Internet Protocol ("IP") address(es). Any domain
name registered by SelectNet on behalf of Customer is the property of said Customer or as may be
otherwise stipulated by that domain registrar.
SelectNet claims no ownership over Customer's domain names. Customer agrees that
SelectNet may be presented with information that Customer's domain name possibly
violates the trademark rights or other intellectual property rights of a trademark
or owner. In case of such action, Customer agrees to the following:
(i) Customer agrees to hold SelectNet harmless of any action taken by such owner
regardless of the outcome of such dispute and regardless of whether Domain Name
Service hosting for Customer's domain is continued at SelectNet.
(ii) Customer agrees that SelectNet has the right to discontinue name service in
the event of such dispute over a Customer's domain name.
(iii) Customer agrees that should SelectNet discontinue name service for Customer's
domain upon notification of such dispute that SelectNet will not be liable for any
loss of business, interruption of business, loss of Customer's domain name, or any
indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost
profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including
negligence), or otherwise, even if SelectNet has been advised of the possibility
of such damages.
Customer agrees that a SelectNet contact person shall be named as the "technical
or zone contact" for any domains hosted at SelectNet. Customer agrees that SelectNet
may create and use network resources with the Customer's domain name for
administrative, testing, and network infrastructure enhancement purposes.
Customer agrees that, if Customer is using the Services for someone else, Customer represent that Customer has
the authority to nonetheless bind that person as a principal to all terms and conditions provided herein,
including the Dispute Policy. Customer accepts liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the Services.

nonetheless remain the domain name holder of record, and remains responsible for all obligations under
this Agreement, including but not limited to payment obligations, and providing (and updating, as necessary)
both Customer's own full contact information, and accurate technical, administrative, billing and zone contact
information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain
name and domain name registration. As further required by ICANN, Customer shall accept liability for harm caused
by wrongful use of the domain name, unless Customer promptly discloses the identity of the licensee to a party providing
Customer with reasonable evidence of actionable harm.

with other services. Email may be handled by SelectNet servers or outsourced to a third-party
supplier, and may have its functionality changed from time-to-time. Unless explicitly stated
otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the email service provided to Customer by
SelectNet shall be subject to these Terms and Conditions of Service. Customer understands
and agrees that neither SelectNet nor its suppliers assume responsibility for the timeliness,
deletion, mis-delivery, non-delivery or failure to store or accurately store, any

right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of
the email service (or any portion thereof).
SelectNet is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly
children. For this reason, parents who wish to allow their children access to the email service
should assist them in setting up any relevant accounts and supervise their access to the
email service. Allowing a child access means they will be able to access all components of
the email service. As the legal guardian, it is Customer's responsibility to determine whether any of
the email services and/or Content (as defined below) which may be delivered to
Customer, is appropriate for Customer's child.
Subscription Data and certain other information about Customer is subject to our Privacy

regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, Customer agrees to comply with
all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the country
in which Customer resides.
Customer agrees to indemnify and hold SelectNet and its suppliers, and SelectNet's and its suppliers' affiliates,
officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and
employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by
any third party due to or arising out of Content Customer submits, posts, transmits or makes
available through the email service, Customer's use of the email service, Customer's connection to the email service,
Customer's violation of these Terms and Conditions of Service, or Customer's violation of any rights of another.

duration for which) Customer may access the email service in a given period of time. Customer agrees
that SelectNet and its suppliers have no responsibility or liability for the deletion or
failure to store any messages and other communications or other Content maintained or

with the letter or spirit of these Terms and Conditions of Service, and have not either cured
the breach (if curable) or provided a satisfactory undertaking to SelectNet or the applicable
authorities, within five (5) business days of receiving a notification of the breach. Further, Customer agrees
that SelectNet shall not be liable to Customer or any third-party for any termination of
Customer's access to the email service.

damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the
presence of such third parties on the email service.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that the email service and any necessary software used in

Acknowledgment; Legal Capacity. By continuing to use SelectNet services,
Customer acknowledges that Customer has read the aforementioned Terms and
Conditions and that Customer understands such Terms and Conditions and agrees
to be bound by them. Customer warrants that Customer is capable of entering
a legal contract.

conditions that may apply when Customer or SelectNet uses affiliate services (such as domain name
