Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer's satisfaction of A1 Web Hosting Solutions's credit approval requirements, A1 Web Hosting Solutions agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.

2. Term.

The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that A1 Web Hosting Solutions generates an e-mail or online message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer's account (the "Service Commencement Date") and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order (the "Initial Term"). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for up the same length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Term") unless A1 Web Hosting Solutions or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively in this Agreement as the "Term."

3. Payments.
(a) Fees.

Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. Customer's billing cycle shall be monthly or annually as indicated on the Order, beginning on the Service Commencement Date. A1 Web Hosting Solutions may require payment for the first billing cycle before beginning service. If the Order provides for credit/debit card billing, Customer authorizes A1 Web Hosting Solutions to bill subsequent fees to the credit/debit card on or after the first day of each successive billing cycle during the Term of this Agreement; otherwise A1 Web Hosting Solutions will invoice Customer via electronic mail to the Primary Customer Contact listed on the Order. Invoiced fees may be issued on or before the 1st day of each billing cycle, and the fees shall be due on the 7th day following invoice date, but in no event earlier than the first day of each billing cycle.

Payments must be made in United States dollars. Customer is responsible for providing A1 Web Hosting Solutions with changes to billing information (such as credit card expiration, change in billing address) At its option, A1 Web Hosting Solutions may accrue charges to be made to a credit/debit card until such charges exceed $10.00. A1 Web Hosting Solutions may charge interest on overdue amounts at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum non-usurious rate under applicable law. A1 Web Hosting Solutions may suspend the service without notice if payment for the service is overdue. Fees not disputed within sixty (60) days of due date are conclusively deemed accurate. Customer agrees to pay A1 Web Hosting Solutions's reasonable reinstatement fee following a suspension of service for non-payment, and to pay A1 Web Hosting Solutions's reasonable costs of collection of overdue amounts, including collection agency fees, attorney fees and court costs.

A1 Web Hosting Solutions may increase its fees for services effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer of the new fees at least five (5) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).

(c) Early Termination.
Customer acknowledges that the amount of the fee for the service is based on Customer's agreement to pay the fee for the entire Initial Term, or Renewal Term, as applicable. In the event A1 Web Hosting Solutions terminates the Agreement for Customer's breach of the Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination), or Customer terminates the service other than in accordance with Section 9 (Termination) for A1 Web Hosting Solutions's breach, the unpaid fees for each billing cycle remaining in the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, are due on the business day following termination of the Agreement.

Customer agrees to cooperate with A1 Web Hosting Solutions's reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the AUP.
