Introduction 

This Agreement explains our obligations to you and your obligations to us in relation to the SRSplus services you purchase from us. By purchasing or otherwise applying for SRSplus services, you agree to establish an account with us for such services. When you use your account or permit someone else to use your account to purchase or otherwise acquire access to additional SRSplus services or to modify or cancel your SRSplus services (even if we were not notified of such authorization), this Agreement as amended covers any such services or actions.

Sections 1 through 13 in this Agreement apply to any and all SRSplus services that you purchase. The terms and conditions set forth in the Schedules of this Agreement apply only for those services purchased by you. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of Sections 1 through 13 and any terms in the Schedules, the terms of the Schedules shall control with regard to the applicable SRSplus service. You acknowledge and agree that some or all of the services you purchase or receive from us may be provided by one or more vendors, contractors or affiliates selected by SRSplus in its sole discretion. 

In consideration for the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, you and we each agree as follows: 

1. Your Responsibilities 

   1.1 You may make services provided to you by SRSPplus available to your affiliates, partners or resellers of the services (collectively, "Your Partners") and your customers, subject to requiring Your Partners' and customers' to agree to and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and other agreements and policies as later referenced in this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Services Agreement referenced in Section 2 below), SRSplus Terms of Service, and SRSplus Privacy Policy . You acknowledge and agree that you will be responsible for ensuring Your Partners' and customers' compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall be responsible for any liability resulting from Your Partners' and customers' noncompliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree that Your Partners and customers who purchase services from you provided by SRSplus shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and by the terms set forth in the Services Agreement. Where this Agreement sets forth an obligation you have with respect to Your Partners and customers, the same provision shall be applicable to Your Partners and Your Partners' customers. 

   1.2 You will provide Your Partners and customers with a means for reviewing and accepting (a) the Service Agreement by and between Your Partners and your customers and Network Solutions, LLC, or its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Network Solutions"), currently in the form set forth in the Services Agreement ("Services Agreement"), or such other agreement as we may post on the SRSplus Site from time to time and (b) any other applicable policies including, but not limited to, Registrar-Registry policies for domain name registrations. 

   1.3 You will ensure that each transmission by you or transaction conducted by you relating to the purchase of any services from SRSplus including, but not limited to: domain name registrations, Web hosting, security registration services, and any renewals, modifications, transfers, and other communications related to such services (each a "Communication") shall be authenticated or encrypted using such protocol as required by us, which protocol may be updated or modified from time to time on reasonable notice to you. You agree to use your password to authenticate every Communication from you to us and restrict disclosure of your password to only those employees and/or agents with a need to know. You agree to notify us within four (4) hours of learning of a breach of your password security or other security breach. Each of us agrees to employ security measures to ensure the security of data exchanged and each of us shall promptly inform the other on detection of any hacking, crawling, compromised passwords or other security breach. 

   1.4 You will employ all necessary hardware, software, employees, contractors and agents with sufficient technical training and experience to respond to and fix any technical problems concerning your use of the SRSplus System in conjunction with your systems. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the development, operation, maintenance and content of each Web site owned, hosted, or controlled by you, your customers or Your Partners through which you, your customers or Your Partners shall fulfill your obligations under this Agreement (each a "Partner Site"). Without limiting the foregoing, you are responsible for (a) the technical operation of each Partner Site and related equipment; and (b) ensuring that the contents of each Partner Site are not libelous or illegal and do not infringe any intellectual property rights or other rights of any person or entity. You will regularly maintain each Partner Site so that its contents are current, accessible and in good taste. 

   1.5 You agree that you shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances and codes in connection with your performance under this Agreement. 

  

 1.6. You agree that you will read and will comply with the SRSplus Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy governing the use of data and information exchanged through, and by using, the SRSplus System. The Terms of Services may be found at http://srsplus.com/policies/TermsOfService.shtml. The Acceptable Use Policy may be found at ftp://ftp.networksolutions.com/partners/Agreements/ NetworkSolutionsServiceAgreement.pdf. 

   1.7 Partner is prohibited from displaying the ICANN or ICANN-Accredited Registrar logo, or from otherwise representing itself as accredited by ICANN unless it has written permission from ICANN to do so. 

   1.8 Any registration agreement used by Partner shall include all registration agreement provisions and notices required by the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement and any ICANN Consensus Policies, and shall identify the sponsoring registrar or provide a means for identifying the sponsoring registrar, such as a link to the InterNIC Whois lookup service. 

   1.9 Partner shall identify the sponsoring registrar upon inquiry from the customer. 

   1.10 Partner shall ensure that the identity and contact information provided by the customer of any privacy or proxy registration service offered or made available by Partner in connection with each registration will be deposited with SRSplus or Network Solutions or held in escrow or, alternatively, display a conspicuous notice to such customers at the time an election is made to utilize such privacy or proxy service that their data is not being escrowed. Where escrow is used, the escrow agreement will provide, at a minimum, that data will be released to SRSplus or Network Solutions in the event Partner breaches the Partner Agreement, and such breach is harmful to consumers or the public interest. In the event that ICANN makes available a program granting recognition to Partners that escrow privacy or proxy registration data as detailed above, and Partner meets any other criteria established by ICANN in accordance with its bylaws, Partner shall be permitted to apply to ICANN for such recognition. 

   1.11 In the event that SRSplus or Network Solutions is obligated to provide a link to an ICANN webpage that identifies available registrant rights and responsibilities, Partner also shall be under an obligation to provide such linkage on any website it may operate for domain name registration or renewal displayed to its registrants at least as clearly as links to policies or notifications required to be displaced under ICANN Consensus Policies. 

2. Our responsibilities 

   2.1 Subject to our right, in our sole discretion, to suspend access to the SRSplus System at any time deemed necessary by us, we will operate the SRSplus System throughout the Term (as defined in Section 8 below) and provide you with access to the SRSplus System, enabling you to query information and to transmit Communications to the SRSplus System. 

   2.2 We will provide you with software (the "Software"), registration interfaces ("Partner Manager"), and/or a set of technical specifications making up the Application Program Interface (the "API"), subject to the license grant in Section 3 below, which will enable you to develop your system to facilitate the registration of domain names and other services using the SRSplus System. 

   2.3 We shall process Communications that have been properly procured and submitted by you, provided that final acceptance of all Communications, including domain name registrations, shall be made by us in our sole discretion and we reserve the right to reject any Communications.

You agree to employ adequate security measures to prevent use of the Software, API and Partner Manager for any other purpose, particularly in relation to the transmission of bulk unsolicited e-mail or data mining.

   3.2 Partner hereby grants SRSplus and SRSplus accepts a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, royalty free license in and to Partner's United States and/or foreign registered and un-registered trademarks, service marks and logos that are provided to SRSplus ("Marks") to reproduce, publicly display, transmit and broadcast Partner's Marks on the SRSplus Site and related publications for the sole purpose of identifying Partner as a distribution partner of SRSplus, subject to any style guide or instructions regarding the use or display of Partner's Marks as Partner may hereafter provide from time to time. 

   3.3 Except as expressly granted in writing, all present and future rights, title and interest to a party's Marks, the Software, Partner Manager and API shall at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the granting party and all goodwill arising from the use of a party's Marks, the Software, Partner Manager and API shall inure to the benefit of that party. Neither party shall do anything to undermine or challenge the validity or registrability of the other party's Marks. During the Term (as defined in Section 8), neither party shall disparage the other party's Marks or Web site, the Software, Partner Manager or API, or display any such Mark in a derogatory or negative manner. 

   3.4 You acknowledge and agree that the licenses granted to you enable you to collect, record and track Your Partner and customer data and information and therefore is subject to the following additional terms and conditions: All data and information collected, recorded and tracked by using SRSplus Systems including Partner Manager and the API interface, shall become the property of SRSplus and its parent company, Network Solutions, which shall retain all right, title and interest to all such data and information. 

4. Renewals 

   4.1 All services purchased by you are eligible to be automatically renewed for an additional one (1) year term on their expiration date. If you opt to participate in the auto-renewal process, the applicable Registration Fees for any renewal shall be deducted from your Registration Fund (as defined in Section 5 below) on the expiration date unless your Registration Fund does not have sufficient funds to pay the applicable Registration Fees, in which case the applicable service may not be renewed until sufficient funds have been deposited into your Registration Fund or unless your credit card has been charged in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Schedule. 

   4.2. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the services are renewed. SRSplus shall have no liability to you or any third party in connection with the renewal as described herein, including, but not limited to, any failure or errors in renewing the services. In order to process a renewal under our auto-renew service, we may use third-party vendors for the purpose of updating the expiration date and account number of your credit card on file. Such third-party vendors maintain relationships with various credit card issuers and may be able to provide us with the updated expiration date and account number for your credit card by comparing the information we have on file with the information the third-party has on file. By selecting our auto-renew service, you acknowledge and agree that we may share your credit card information with such a third-party vendor for the purpose of obtaining any update to your credit card expiration date and account number. You agree to pay all value added, sales and other taxes related to SRSplus services or payments made by you herein. 

5. Payment 

   5.1. As consideration for the services we provide you under the terms of this Agreement, you agree to pay SRSplus the applicable services fees set forth on our Web site at the time of your selection, or, if applicable, upon receipt of your invoice from SRSplus.

   5.2 Prior to the purchase of any services, you shall transfer to us a minimum registration fund initial payment of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars (US $250.00) to fund your pre-payment account (the "Registration Fund"). For each service you register, renew or transfer through the SRSplus System, your Registration Fund will be debited the applicable Registration Fee as set forth in the appropriate Schedules. Should the purchase of any particular service require Partner to provide a credit-card at the time of your purchase, you agree that if there are insufficient funds to debit your Registration Fund, then the applicable fee will be charged to your credit card. 

   5.3. Partner shall maintain sufficient funds in its Registration Fund to cover all monthly or annual payments owed by Partner for the services purchased. If your Registration Fund reaches zero, further Domain Name Registrations, renewals or transfers or use of other services will not be available to you or be processed until such time as you replenish your Registration Fund in the manner set out in the Agreement an applicable Schedules.

You understand that each Registrant's acceptance of the Service Agreement and the Registry Policies, if applicable, is a condition to the registration of a Domain Name. You may require Registrants using your services to agree to additional terms and conditions, provided that such additional terms and conditions do not conflict with the Service Agreement, the Registry Policies, this Agreement, or any policies set forth on the SRSplus Site. 

A.3 Customer Service. You agree to provide customer service, Domain Name Registrations and renewals, billing services and technical support to your Registrants. You agree to inform each of your Registrants when his or her Domain Name Registration is up for renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the applicable registration term. 

A.4 Accuracy of Information. You shall require Registrants to provide accurate and reliable contact information and promptly correct and update such information during the term of their Domain Name Registration. You agree that a Registrant's provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, failure to promptly update information provided to you or failure to respond for over five (5) calendar days (or such other period of time as is set forth in the Service Agreement or Registry's Policies) to inquiries concerning the accuracy of contact information associated with the Domain Name Registration shall be a basis for cancellation of the Domain Name Registration. Such contact information shall include: (a) the full name, postal address, e-mail address, voice telephone number and fax number (if available) of the Registrant, administrative contact, technical contact and billing contact for the Domain Name; and (b) the names of the primary and secondary nameserver for the Domain Name Registration. 

A.5 Use of Domain Name Lookup. You will use the Domain Name lookup capability provided by us, in accordance with the license grant set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement to determine if a requested Domain Name is or is not available for registration. You will not use the Domain name lookup capability to (a) allow, enable or otherwise support the transmission of mass unsolicited, commercial advertising or solicitations via direct mail, telephone, facsimile, or e-mail; (b) enable high volume, automated, electronic processes that apply to the SRSplus System for the registration of Domain Names; or (c) enable high volume electronic queries against any SRSplus or Network Solutions, LLC WHOIS Database, and you shall not sell or redistribute any data gathered from any SRSplus or Network Solutions, LLC WHOIS Database. 

A.6 Security and Communication. You will ensure that each transmission by you or transaction conducted by you relating to Domain Name Registrations, renewals, modifications, transfers, and communications (each a "Communication") shall be authenticated or encrypted using such protocol as required by us, which protocol may be updated or modified from time to time on reasonable notice to you. You agree to use your password to authenticate every Communication from you to us and restrict disclosure of your password to only those employees and/or agents with a need to know. You agree to notify us within four (4) hours of learning of a breach of your password security or other security breach. Each of us agrees to employ security measures to ensure the security of data exchanged and each of us shall promptly inform the other on detection of any hacking, crawling, compromised passwords or other security breach. You acknowledge that in the event of any dispute concerning the time of the entry of a Domain Name Registration into a Registry's database, the time shown in the applicable Registry's records shall prevail. 

A.7 Data Submission to SRSplus Systems. You will submit all data elements specified in the interface to the SRSplus System (or as reasonably specified by us from time to time), including the data elements stated in Section A. 4 above, the Domain Name, the original creation date of the Domain Name Registration, the expiration date of the Domain Name Registration of each Domain Name you submit to us, and, if applicable, the name of Your Partner through which the registration was made. You shall take reasonable precautions to protect all data received from a Registrant or regarding a Domain Name Registration from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction. 

A.8 CCTLD Registrations. Partner acknowledges that ccTLD registrations are performed with third-party organizations that operate at the request of or via contract with foreign governments, and as such, changes in government structure or registry contractors may occur, and as a result Domain Name Registrations may be adversely affected. Partner acknowledges and agrees that SRSplus shall not have any liability associated with any ccTLD registration or failure to register a ccTLD Domain Name. Further, SRSplus reserves the right to reject: (a) ccTLD multi-year registration requests where such multi-year registrations are not available through the requested ccTLD Registry; (b) Domain Name record modification request if such modifications are not supported by the applicable ccTLD Registry; and (c) ccTLD Domain Name transfers where such Domain Name transfers are not available through the requested ccTLD Registry. 

A.9 Fees and Payments. For each successful Domain Name Registration or renewal, you shall pay us the non-refundable amounts set forth on the table in this Schedule A shown below for each Domain Name you register or renew (collectively, "Registration Fees"). We reserve the right to modify the Registration Fees from time to time, which modifications shall be effective after thirty (30) days notice to you. Prior to accepting Domain Name Registrations, you shall transfer to us a minimum registration fund initial payment of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars (US $250.00) to fund your pre-payment account (the "Registration Fund"). Please see the SRSplus Site for instructions on the acceptable methods you can use to transfer these funds. For each Domain Name you register, renew or transfer through the SRSplus System, your Registration Fund will be debited the applicable Registration Fee set forth in this Schedule A. All Domain Name Registrations, renewals and transfers of TLDs and ccTLDs are available at the flat Registration Fees set forth on Schedule A. You can access a record of your Registration Fund transactions through the SRSplus Site, including your SRSplus balance and debit information. If your Registration Fund reaches zero, further Domain Name Registrations, renewals or transfers will not be processed until such time as you replenish your Registration Fund in the manner set out on the SRSplus Site. You acknowledge and agree that all amounts in your Registration Fund will be automatically forfeited after one (1) year if you have not completed any Domain Name Registration, renewals or transfers. 

A.10. Renewals. All Domain Names and certain value-added services registered by you are eligible to be automatically renewed for an additional one (1) year term on their expiration date. If you opt to participate in the auto-renewal process, the applicable Registration Fees for any renewal shall be deducted from your Registration Fund (as defined in Section 5.1 of the Agreement) on the expiration date unless your Registration Fund does not have sufficient funds to pay the applicable Registration Fees, in which case the applicable Domain Name or service may not be renewed until sufficient funds have been deposited into your Registration Fund. Partner acknowledges that if a Domain Name expires it may be unavailable for registration after the expiration date and SRSplus shall not have any liability resulting from its inability to renew an expired Domain Name. 

A.11. Termination. If we determine, in our sole discretion, you have breached any provision of this Agreement this Schedule or are engaging in any conduct that breaches or causes us to breach any ICANN regulation, Registry Policies or third party agreements with respect to domain name registrations, we shall have the right to immediately suspend your rights to register, transfer and renew domain names and services. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, you agree that we may contact your Registrants to register, transfer or renew their respective domain names or other products and services. 

A.12. Transfer Policy. If a customer transfers a Domain Name Registration to your account (a "Registrar Transfer"), you shall pay us the applicable Registration Fee for such Domain Name Registration for a minimum of one (1) additional year. The additional period for which the Registration Fee is paid will be added to the existing registration term of the Domain Name, provided however that the remaining un-expired registration term cannot exceed ten (10) years. If a Registrar Transfer would extend the existing Domain Name Registration beyond ten (10) years, in such instances you will be required to pay us the applicable Registration Fee for an additional year term, but the un-expired term of the Domain Name Registration will only be increased to a maximum of ten (10) years. You acknowledge and agree that all Registrar Transfers shall be subject to the terms and conditions governing Registrar Transfers as established from time to time by SRSplus and the applicable Registry. 

A. 13. Ownership of Information. All information obtained from a Registrant with respect to the Registrant's Application, Domain Name Registration and/or renewal, except the Registrant's credit card information ("Registrant Information") shall be jointly owned by and available to Partner and SRSplus and treated respectively by us in accordance with this Agreement and our respective privacy policies and applicable laws and regulations. You shall be the sole owner of the Registrant's credit card information in accordance with applicable law and credit card issuer rules, regulations and agreements. 

A. 14. Privacy Policy.You agree you shall inform each Registrant of the purposes for which any personally identifiable data are intended to be used by you, including: (a) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the data (including SRSplus and the applicable Registry); (b) which data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary; and (c) how a Registrant can access and, if necessary, correct the data held about them.

Schedule CGo Daddy

Go Daddy

Application Programming Interface Reseller Agreement 

This API Reseller Agreement ("Agreement") is by and between GoDaddy.com, Inc. ("Go Daddy"), a/an Arizona corporation located at 14455 North Hayden Rd., Suite 219, Scottsdale, AZ, 85260, and you (the "Reseller"). The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the date that Reseller completes Go Daddy's Application Programming Interface ("API") reseller signup process and submits the initial signup fee.

This Agreement explains the basis upon which transactions between you, the Reseller, and Wild West will take place and our responsibilities toward each other.

By entering into this Agreement, in addition to transactions entered into by Reseller on its own behalf, Reseller also agrees to be bound by the terms of this agreement for transactions entered into on its behalf by anyone acting as its Agent. Reseller also agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement for transactions entered into by anyone who uses the account Reseller hereby establishes with Wild West , whether or not the transactions were in Reseller's behalf. Reseller also agrees to be bound by any applicable agreements, policies or procedures posted on the Wild West web site, as well as any changes that may be made to them.

This Agreement as well as any additional Wild West policies, together with all modifications thereto, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between You and Wild West concerning Your use of Wild West 's Software and Services, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications. All Wild West policies and agreements specific to particular Software and Service are incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference, including the dispute policy ("UDRP"). By purchasing Wild West's Software or Services, You acknowledge that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other policies or agreements made part of this Agreement by reference, including the Universal Terms of Service as well as any new, different or additional terms, conditions or policies which Wild West may establish from time to time, and any agreements that Wild West is currently bound by or will be bound by in the future. Such Agreements may be found here.

To complete the API reseller signup process, Reseller must read this entire Agreement and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions. Reseller acknowledges that Wild West is an accredited registrar bound by an agreement between Wild West and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"). Reseller agrees that Wild West may modify this Agreement in order to comply with applicable laws and the terms and conditions set forth by ICANN.

Reseller acknowledges that Wild West 's acceptance of this Agreement and any application made by Reseller for services provided by Wild West will take place at Wild West 's offices located in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.

Whereas Wild West is an accredited and fully-operational Internet Domain name registrar; and, whereas Reseller desires to purchase Domain Name registration services and other services or products that may be available (the "Services") from Wild West for purposes of selling such Services to its own customers using its own website, but connecting to Wild West 's API to procure such Services;

Therefore, the Wild West and Reseller agree as follows:

1. Service Details And License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Go Daddy grants the Reseller a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to resell the Services worldwide. Your API account is non-transferable and cannot be sold separately or in conjunction with the sale of an existing site or business. You are prohibited from selling the customers to another business. The Services available for resale may not immediately include all of the Services that Go Daddy offers for sale. Services are subject to:

1.

Wild West's Registration Agreement 

2.

Wild West's Dispute Resolution Policy 

3.

Wild West's Domain Name Transfer Agreement 

Agreements for any other Services that Reseller chooses to resell, located on Go Daddy's Legal Agreements page

2. Price

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Reseller acknowledges that prices are subject to change from time to time.

Service Pricing 

Go Daddy will provide its services to the Reseller according to the Go Daddy API Price Catalog (Catalog). Reseller may set its own prices.

Sign Up Fee 

The initial sign-up fee is due up front, followed by a non-refundable prepayment which is due when Reseller is ready to go live with the site.

Money Back Guarantee 

If within 10 days of the date you sign up for the reseller program by paying the sign-up fee, for any reason you want to cancel your reseller account, you are entitled to a full refund of the sign-up fee.

Fraudulent Transactions 

Reseller agrees to hold Wild West harmless and to indemnify Wild West for and against transactions processed by Wild West on behalf of Reseller that are fraudulent in nature. These fraudulent transactions could result from, but are not limited to, misrepresentations in the domain registration or transfer process, or from the use of stolen or misappropriated credit cards.

3. Prepaid Account

A prepayment account will be set up by all domestic Resellers ("Prepaid Account") in advance by wiring the money to Go Daddy , in sufficient quantities to cover the cost of the Services that will be purchased. Failure to set up a valid Prepaid Account will prevent you from purchasing any Services from Go Daddy . You can find the instructions on how to set up your Prepaid Account at any time by clicking on the "Wiring Funds to Your Account" link from your home page on the Go Daddy Reseller Extranet.

Resellers hereby authorize Go Daddy to initiate and post debit (negative) entries to the Prepaid Account when requests for Services are received from the Reseller. Wild West may charge a customer a small fee if the customer cancels a domain name within the five (5) day grace period after registering the domain with Wild West and Wild West refunds the price of the domain. Wild West will not charge the customer a fee if Wild West cancels the domain name during this period because of fraud. If for any reason Go Daddy is not able to take the money out of your Prepaid Account to process your requests for services or because there are insufficient funds available, and you fail to respond to our notices, any requested transactions will not be processed. It is your responsibility to keep adequate funds in your Prepaid Account. You agree that Go Daddy will not be responsible for transactions that could not be processed because you failed to keep an adequate amount of money in your Prepaid Account to cover those transactions. In any case, if you fail to keep adequate money in your Prepaid Account, additional charges may apply. It is your responsibility to cancel your Prepaid Account should you decide to discontinue your account for Services with us.

The authority granted to Go Daddy by the Prepaid Account owner herein will remain in full force and effect until the Company has received written notification from the Prepaid Account owner that such authority has been revoked, but in any event, such writing shall be provided in such a manner as to afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to act on such revocation, or until the Company, has sent notice of the Company's, termination of this Agreement.

4. Refund Policy

Reseller and Reseller's customers are not entitled to any refunds of Service transactions.

5. Up to Date Information; Use of Information The Service

Reseller agrees to notify Go Daddy within five (5) business days when any of the information Reseller provided as part of the application and/or registration process changes. It is Resellers responsibility to keep this information in a current and accurate status. Failure by Reseller, for whatever reason, to provide Go Daddy with accurate and reliable information on an initial and continual basis, shall be considered to be a material breach of this agreement. Failure by Reseller, for whatever reason, to respond within five (5) business days to any inquiries made by Go Daddy to determine the validity of information provided by Reseller, shall also be considered to be a material breach of this agreement.

6. Term

This Agreement is in effect for one (1) year from the Effective Date of this contract and will automatically renew for one (1) year increments. Reseller agrees that Go Daddy may modify this agreement from time to time. Reseller agrees to be bound by any changes Go Daddy may reasonably make to this agreement when such changes become effective. Should you elect to cancel your agreement with Go Daddy, you will not receive a refund for any fees you may have paid to Go Daddy. Upon termination, all customers will default to Go Daddy.

7. Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement for a material breach of contract by the other party that has not been cured within ten (10) days. Either party must notify the other of such material breach in writing. Or, either party may terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days written notice. Upon termination, all customers will default to Go Daddy.

8. Intellectual Property

Reseller shall not use any of Wild West 's intellectual property in its advertising except as specifically authorized by Wild West .

"Confidential Information" means nonpublic information that Go Daddy designates as being confidential or which, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, ought to be treated as confidential by Reseller. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, information in tangible or intangible form relating to and/or including released or unreleased products, the marketing or promotion of any of Go Daddy's products, Go Daddy's business policies or practices, and information received from others that Go Daddy is obligated to treat as confidential. Confidential Information does not include any information, however designated, that: is or subsequently becomes publicly available without Reseller's breach of any obligation under this Agreement; became known to Reseller prior to disclosure under this Agreement; became known to Reseller from a source other than Go Daddy other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to Reseller; or is independently developed by Reseller. This obligation shall last three (3) years after the termination of your reseller account with Go Daddy.
