The Dedicated Hosting Terms of Service apply to all MakoSolutions customers with a dedicated server/co-location contract at the Chicago, IL datacenter.

MakoSolutions, LLC provides web hosting services to subscribers around the world. The following terms of service are designed to provide the highest level of service available.

This legally binding contract (the "Agreement") is by and between MakoSolutions, LLC., a Delaware registered company ("MakoSolutions"), and you and your assigns, employees, agents or contractors ("You", "Your", the "Client") and is effective as of the date you purchase dedicated hosting services from MakoSolutions.

This Agreement contains provisions that set forth MakoSolutions's Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy and guarantees of a certain service level (found in the "Uptime Guarantee" and "Service Level" sections below).

By purchasing the Services, You acknowledge and agree that You have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, along with any new, different or additional terms, conditions or policies that MakoSolutions may establish and post on its website from time to time.

Description of Services

MakoSolutions provides the Services to its customers for a monthly fee. MakoSolutions will provide You an account on one or more of its dedicated servers, provided, however, You abide by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in any other agreement pertaining to other services you may purchase. MakoSolutions reserves the right to modify its network and facilities used to provide the Services for purposes including, but not limited to, accommodating evolving technology and increased network demand, and providing enhanced services. MakoSolutions shall use reasonable efforts to notify You in advance of any planned changes to MakoSolutions's network or facilities that may adversely affect the Services provided under this Agreement.

Fees

Fees for Services ordered by You shall be charged beginning on the date of the initial order and that date shall serve as the monthly anniversary date for all future billings including one time fees, upgrades, additional services, cancellations and service credits. Fees are due in advance of the monthly service cycle and will be billed on the anniversary date of each month.

From time to time it may be necessary to make adjustments in the fees and surcharges charged for the Services in order to cover certain changing costs (e.g., power) incurred by MakoSolutions in providing the services. Such adjustments will be reflected on the statement or invoice provided to you for the Services, and you agree to pay for the fees and surcharges for the Services, as adjusted.

Payment Options

MakoSolutions provides several options for payment:

- Credit Card on File. When you place a credit card on file with MakoSolutions, we will, typically, bill the card a few days before your invoice is due. If the credit card charge is expired, not authorized or declined by our processing company, we will notify you via E-mail. We request that you update your card promptly. If your invoice becomes more than 3-days past due (from the invoice Due Date) then MakoSolutions reserves the right to suspend service or terminate service after 5 days past due until payment is received.

- Checks, Money Orders, Wire Transfers and Pay Pal payments. MakoSolutions accepts both checks and money orders. In the event a check is returned, MakoSolutions will charge a returned check fee of $35.00 or, if less, legal limit in Your state or country. You are responsible for payment of all bounced check fees. In the event Your invoice is 3-days or more past due (from the invoice Due Date) then MakoSolutions reserves the right to suspend service or terminate service after 5 days past due until payment is received.

Late Payment

MakoSolutions reserves the right to charge a late fee of 1.5% per invoice per month on late payments. Invoices will be automatically considered late once the invoice due date has passed.

Non-payment Termination

In the event you fail to pay your invoice within 3 days of the due date, we reserve the right to suspend your service.

If you are still past due on the 5th day from the due date on the invoice, we reserve the right to terminate your service entirely and reformat your server.

If you are terminated for non-payment, we also reserve the right to refer your account to a third party collection agency and you agree to pay any collection fees or legal fees we may be charged to collect on your debt.

Overage Billing

"Overage" is defined as usage of the Services provided by MakoSolutions to You in excess of the allocated limitation. Overages are charged for SAN, Backup, Bandwidth and Professional Services (administrative time) used in excess of the amount allocated to Your account.

You agree to pay the then-current Overage fees and charges for the MakoSolutions services, including backup and bandwidth Overage fees, upon receipt of an invoice. Overage rates are set and published on our website at http://www.MakoSolutions.com/servers/addon_pricing.php. Usage information is available in LEAP and through your MakoSolutions Account Executive.

Overage fees can be avoided by subscribing to a higher service plan.

Regarding mid-month or mid-period cancellations, MakoSolutions will not issue pro-rated refunds for cancellations received in the middle of a payment cycle.

Refunds will not be given on a pro-rated basis for Services provided in a given billing period. Receipt by you of any Services in a given period will obligate you to pay for the Services during that entire billing period.

Term and Termination and Money Back Guarantee

You agree to a month to month term for the Services unless otherwise agreed to in writing. The month to month term for services is automatically renewed each month unless either party notifies the other in writing of its desire that the Agreement not be renewed, no later than three (3) days before the next upcoming anniversary date for billing. You may cancel Your account by terminating this Agreement in this manner by contacting the MakoSolutions billing department.

MakoSolutions considers any attempt to send Unsolicited E-mail Messages or other forms of Spam E-mail (including "Spamvertising" other websites or services or products) to be violations of this Agreement.

To help reduce the overall Unsolicited E-mail problem, MakoSolutions has put into place the following 3-Strike Policy: For every Unsolicited E-mail Incident, MakoSolutions will assess a penalty of $25.00 per verified Incident and a penalty of $200 for the first instance of IP Black Listing and $400 for the second instance of IP Black Listing (collectively, the "Penalties".) For each $25.00 Unsolicited E-mail Incident Penalty, you will be issued one strike. For your first IP Black Listing Incident, you will be issued one strike. For your second IP Black Listing Incident, you will be issued two strikes. On your third strike, MakoSolutions reserves the right to terminate your service with or without warning. If your service is terminated under the Unsolicited E-mail Policy then you forfeit all fees paid, including pre-paid fees and unused time. All fees paid become non-refundable. Further, account termination does not absolve or nullify Penalty payments you may owe to MakoSolutions. Further, you may accumulate additional Penalties based on complaints received after your termination. This section of the Agreement will survive for a period of one year after this agreement is terminated.
