1. Provision of the Service

  1. 1.1 Type of Account and Website.

    The Service is offered for a variety of account levels that offer different degrees of features and limitations, and upon registering for the Service you selected one or more of these account levels (but only one Free Account (as defined below). The account level with the highest cost and most features is referred to as the "Premium Account". The other levels of accounts are sometimes referred to herein as a "General Account", except that any account for which there is no charge may also be referred to as a "Free Account" and all of the types of accounts are referred to as simply "Accounts". Whichever Account(s) you choose, you will receive the features and functionality, and be subject to the limitations, for that type of Account that are listed on our website describing such Account for the Service as such features, functionality and limitations may change in our discretion from time to time. When registering for an Account you must associate the Account with a limited number of domain(s), and your website(s) available at such domain(s) are referred to herein as the "Website". With respect to certain accounts we may provide you software to use on your servers in connection with your use of the Service. To the extent your Account(s) includes such software, we hereby grant you a limited, nonexclusive license to use such software solely in connection with the Service during the term of this Agreement. By registering for an Account you understand that the features and functionality of the Service requires technical proficiency in order to integrate the Service into your Website, and you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to secure such technical services as we do not support integration of use of the Service other than by providing you access to an online support forum. Not all questions are answered on the forum nor do we have any obligation to answer all questions posted to the support forum.

  2. 1.2 Trial Account; Identity Verification.

    We may offer a limited free trial to certain types of Accounts. If you register for the Service and a free trial is offered, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply except for those regarding payment for the Account during whatever is the then-stated term of such free trial. You understand and agree that the free trial Account and Free Account may require verification through use of email, SMS or other form of text message and that notwithstanding the fact that such Accounts are referenced as "free", you may incur fees with the provider of your mobile phone service for such SMS or other form of text message in accordance with your agreement with such provider.

  3. 1.3 Contract Month.

    The term of your Account(s) and the billing period for your Account(s) is measured by a "Contract Month", which means the period starting on the day you first registered each particular Account and ending on 11:59 pm ET on the day in the following month immediately preceding the day you first registered such Account or the last day of the month if you registered your Account(s) on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month a any subsequent month has fewer days than the day on which you registered (e.g., if you first register on January 30th, the period between January 31th and 11:59 pm ET on February 28th) and each subsequent month beginning on the anniversary of the day you first registered such Account measured in the same manner (i.e., for the prior example, the next Contract Month would be 12:00am ET March 1st through 11:59 pm ET March 31st).

  4. 1.4 Service Level for Service.

    We will endeavor to provide the Service on a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year continuous basis. However, we cannot guarantee that the Service will never experience an interruption. If the Service becomes unavailable for more than 1 hour for a General Account, or 30 minutes for a Premium Account in any calendar day (using the Central European Time Zone), as your sole and exclusive remedy your account will be eligible for a downtime credit of 1/30th of the amount you paid for the Service in that particular Contract Month. To receive a downtime credit, you must contact support staff within thirty (30) days following the end of the downtime event. You must provide evidence that your server was not able to contact the Service during the downtime period. You understand that the unavailability of the Service is measured by us in our reasonable discretion solely as the failure of our servers to respond to requests because either the servers are inoperable or our connection to the public internet is unavailable, and our monitoring and measuring of such uptime shall be deemed to be the conclusive measurement of unavailability of the Service. We are not responsible for, and the Service shall not be considered to be unavailable, during periods where there are disruptions to other aspects of the public internet (such as a failure of a domain name server) or where there are disruptions to your servers or internet access.

  5. 1.5 Service Limitations; Changes.

    You agree that our measurements of your usage will be definitive in determining when you have used the Service in excess of any particular limitation. You may monitor our measurement of your usage in the control panel at whateverweb.com. We shall not be liable to you if you exceed any of these limitations and we stop providing the Service to your end users until your Account(s) resets its limitation counts. You agree that all of these limitations may be changed by us at any time including in ways that reduce the amount of Services you receive under a particular type of Account. If you have a Premium Account, we will endeavor to provide you notice of any adverse changes to the Premium Account at least 60 days before such changes go into effect. For General Accounts that are not Free Accounts, we will endeavor to provide you notice of any adverse changes to your type of Account prior to end of your then-current Contract Month so you may terminate this Agreement before you incur additional fees for the next Contract Month in which the changes go into effect. Free Accounts may be changed at any time without notice. In any event, your sole remedy for any such change is to terminate this Agreement and stop receiving Services if the limitations no longer suit your needs.

  6. 1.6 Changes to Features.

    You understand that we intend to regularly improve the features of the Service over time and that we may change the features at any time, from time to time, as we deem appropriate. While we do not expect to lessen the features of the features of the Service, we reserve the right at any time to change the features in a way that may adversely affect the value of the feature to you or to eliminate some of the features at any time. If we change a feature or eliminate a feature without the notice provided in Section 1.5 applicable to your type of Account in a manner that adversely affects your use of the Service, your sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement immediately after you become aware of the adverse change or elimination and request a refund for the then-current Contract Month.

  7. 1.7 Control of Credentials.

    Your access to the Service is controlled through a user name and password and unique identifiers to you that permit us to verify you as the holder of each of your Account(s) (your "Access Credentials") created as part of the signup process. You are responsible for securing your Access Credentials and any losses that may result from unauthorized use of your Access Credentials. You will immediately change your Access Credentials if you become aware that the security of your Access Credentials have been compromised. If you are locked out of your Account(s), you will immediately notify us. You understand that we must protect against false claims regarding loss of Access Credentials and agree to cooperate with us in providing information necessary to ensure you are the holder of your Account(s) so that we do not make unauthorized changes to your Account(s). You agree that we are not liable if we do make changes to your Account(s) that are unauthorized by you if another person is able to authenticate him or herself as you using the Access Credentials you provide.

  8. 1.8 Free Accounts.

    You acknowledge that the operation of the Service involves a substantial investment and that we offer Free Accounts at a loss as a public service to the hobbyist, non-profit, micro-business and similar communities. While there is no requirement that you certify you belong to such a community we request you consider purchasing an account if your Website is a significant source of revenue generation. You understand that in light of the foregoing we may elect to cease providing the Service to Free Account(s) at any time without liability to you of any kind. You agree to not open more than one Free Account for yourself in your individual capacity or more than one Free Account for any other person or entity, even if you or such other person or entity operate multiple distinct websites.

    We may elect to collect data and information from your and your end users' use of the Services. While we may collect data and information that is personally identifying, such as an IP address, we will disclose such data and information solely after it has been aggregated so that it is anonymous. We may use all such data and information to improve the Service and to create internal and external reports regarding the use of the Service and/or the use of mobile devices. You have the ability to give feedback, and we really like it when we get feedback. If you choose to give us feedback or other ideas regarding the Service, you grant us, without charge, the right to use, share and commercialize your feedback and ideas in any way and for any purpose, including any patent rights you may have that would unlicensed prohibit employing your feedback, and including the right to authorize others to use, share and commercialize your feedback.

Upon 12:00 am ET of the first day of the next Contract Month for each of your Account(s), you may no longer terminate the Service for that Contract Month even if we have not yet processed payment to your credit card account and even if the fee has increased after you have received the notice contemplated herein.
