(Terms of Service) of OL Communications, Inc. and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). The AUP

respects in accordance with the laws of the state of Tennessee, county of
Chester applicable to contracts enforceable in that state. Venue will be

Disclosure to Law Enforcement:
The AUP specifically prohibits the use of our service

rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware
that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges
from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving
and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates
charged to company by its suppliers.
Payment:
Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of
payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary
date of the month for that month's service. All accounts and services provided

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.
New Domain Accounts:
All new webhosting accounts involving new domains will be set
up and entered into our DNS servers within 3 to 5 business days. Due to unforeseen
complications, however, this process may sometimes require up to 7 business
days. If the new domain is registered by the account holder, there will be
no handling fee. If the domain is registered by OL Communications, Inc. on behalf of
the account holder a handling fee may be incurred.
Transfer of Domains:
New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain
from another provider to OL Communications, Inc. will require a minimum of seven (7)
days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers
may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the transfer
process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer
may take. If the transfer of the domain is done by OL Communications, Inc. on behalf
of the account holder a handling fee may be incurred. If the customer cancels
service during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered
earned.

Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong
only to OL Communications, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol

and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that
may be assigned to Customer by OL Communications, and OL Communications reserves the right to
change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses,
in its sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited
by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses
for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP
addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting
where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find
that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used,
we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used
with name-based hosting.

exceed the number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer

Customer's bandwidth or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective
action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or
discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement,
which actions may be taken is in OL Communications
sole and absolute discretion. If OL Communications takes any corrective action under this section, Customer shall not
be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action.
In the event that a customer exceeds the included allocation, OL Communications may,
at its sole discretion, collect a deposit, in an amount determined by OL
Communications,
against customer's credit card on file with OL Communications.

of this Acceptable Use Policy, shall receive an email, warning them of the violation.

pending a User's agreement in writing, to refrain from any further violations.

of any element of this Acceptable Use Policy shall be subject to immediate suspension

network, or if denial of service attacks are originating from your network.
In certain rare cases, we may have to do this before attempting to contact you.
If we do this, we will contact you as soon as is feasible.
Suspension of Service or Cancellation:
OL Communications reserves the right to suspend network access
to any customer if in the judgment of the OL Communications network administrators the
customer's server is the source or target of the violation of any of the other
terms of the AUP or for any other reason which OL Communications chooses. If inappropriate
activity is detected, all accounts of the Customer in question will be deactivated
until an investigation is complete. Prior notification to the Customer is not
assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement will be contacted regarding the activity.
The customer will not be credited for the time the customer's machines were
suspended. OL Communications reserves the right to amend its policies at any time. All
Sub-Networks, resellers and managed servers of OL Communications must adhere to the above
policies. Failure to follow any term or condition will be grounds for immediate
Cancellation. You will be held responsible for the actions of your clients in
the matter described on these Terms and conditions. Therefore, it is in your
