If the Order sets out an amount of data transfer or number of visitors, you agree not to exceed this amount. If you do, and we choose not to limit your use of the Services, your data transfer or visitors over the contracted amount will be billed at our then-current rate.

17. SUPPORT
We provide support through a variety of methods (e.g. knowledgebase, forums, chat, phone) (“Support”).

If you abuse our support staff or any employee of LexBlog, we may terminate this agreement and your access to the Services effective immediately.

During our interactions with you, including while providing Support, we may solicit or you may provide feedback about the Services. You agree that we are free to use and disclose this feedback for any purpose.

18. FEES
The charges for the Services are set out on the Order (“Fees”). Fees applicable to any renewal Term will be at our then-current rates. Overages may apply if your use of the Services exceeds your plan limits.

You will be charged the Fees beginning on the Effective Date. Our schedule of payments is set out on the Order; if no schedule is stated, Fees are due in full in advance, except that Fees for applicable overages will be invoiced and charged in arrears. All Fees are payable in U.S. dollars. We will collect the Fees by debiting the electronic payment method that you have provided to us. Credit, debit, or other similar sources of payment may be debited up to one week prior to the due date. You must keep the method of payment current and able to be debited.

If payment is not made by or on the due date, we may charge a late fee on the unpaid balance at the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum lawful rate permitted by applicable law, rounded to the next highest whole month and compounded monthly.

We may be required to collect taxes on the Services. Taxes (excluding taxes on our income) will be added to the Fees and you agree to pay them, unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate. If you elect to pay via a wire transfer or credit transfer then you are responsible for any transfer fees, which will be automatically added to the Fees.

If you do not pay on time, we may suspend or terminate the Services and terminate this Agreement. In addition, Third Party Services may be forfeited. We may also send you to collections, and add to the Fees any charges associated with collecting unpaid Fees. If the Services are suspended because we do not receive payment, we will preserve Customer Content in accordance with our normal backup processes and procedures. After that time the Customer Content will be deleted.

If the Order references any money-back guarantee, this guarantee applies only to our standard Services and not to Third Party Services (e.g. domain names), set up or migration Services, or other Services that are custom or non-standard.

19. THIRD PARTY WEBSITES & THIRD PARTY SERVICES
The Site may contain links to other web sites owned by third parties (“Third Party Sites”). Please note that when you click on any of these links, you are entering another website for which we have no responsibility or control. You may also have the ability through the Site to login to accounts that you have for services provided by third parties (“Third Party Services”) or to link accounts for Third Party Services to your LexBlog account. LexBlog is not responsible for any activity occurring within Third Party Services, even if logged in through or linked to a LexBlog account.

You agree that we shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of your use of any Third Party Sites and/or Third Party Services, whether or not you were linked to or directed to a Third Party Site or Third Party Service through the Site. You acknowledge that Third Party Sites and Third Party Services may be subject to the applicable third party provider’s terms of service, and you are solely responsible for reviewing and complying with any such terms of service. In no event shall any reference on the Site to any third party, third party website or third party product or service be construed as an approval or endorsement by us of that third party, third party website or of any product or service provided by a third party.

20. GDPR Compliance as Data Processor
To the extent that Client collects or otherwise acts as a “controller” of “personal data” as that term is defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), Client agrees that execution of any Order by and between Client and LexBlog shall constitute agreement and execution of the LexBlog GDPR Data Protection Addendum, available here.

Client understands and acknowledges that transfer of personal data by Client to LexBlog constitutes transfer of personal data outside the European Union/EEA. Execution of any Order by Client includes execution of Annex 2 to the LexBlog GDPR Data Protection Addnedum, which is countersigned by LexBlog. To opt out of the “Standard Contractual Clauses”, Client must send the following information to LexBlog in a written notice:

• the full legal name of the Client and any Affiliate that is opting out;
• if Client has multiple Orders, the Orders to which the opt-out applies;
• and a statement that Client opts out of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Beginning May 25, 2018 and thereafter, references to various Articles from the Directive 95/46/EC in the Standard Contractual Clauses below will be treated as references to the relevant and appropriate Articles in the GDPR.

For the purposes of Article 26(2) of Directive 95/46/EC for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection, Client (as data exporter) and LexBlog (as data importer, whose signature appears in Annex 2), each a “party,” together “the parties,” have agreed on the Contractual Clauses (the “Clauses” or “Standard Contractual Clauses”) in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data specified in Appendix 1 to Annex 2.

21. TERM AND TERMINATION
This Agreement will become effective upon the date of signature by Client (“Effective Date”) and shall continue for a term of 12 months. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms of 12 months each, unless either party provides the other party with at least 30 days written notice of termination prior to expiration of the term then in effect, or unless otherwise terminated for cause or by mutual agreement of the parties.

Client agrees to compensate LexBlog in accordance with the Order, which is incorporated herein by this reference. Fees applicable to any renewal term, or any subsequent Order for additional services, will be at LexBlog’s then-current rates. If, at the end of first 12 months of service, client is not satisfied with LexBlog’s Performance, Client may terminate the agreement and is entitled to the return of any portion of the annual subscription payments made that the client believes is fair. Additionally, we may terminate this Agreement or any Order immediately if (i) you fail to pay for Services on time, (ii) your use of the Services endangers or negatively affects our networks or systems, or inhibits our ability to provide services to our other customers.

Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement we will stop providing the Services. This means that Customer’s Content may not be available.

If Client terminates this Agreement upon or following expiration of the initial 12-month term, LexBlog will provide to Client, at Client’s request, any graphic design prepared for Client in the completion of their website. This includes, header or custom graphics, but not theme files or PSD layouts. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, LexBlog will permit Client to remove or copy Client Content and any other content provided to LexBlog by Client.
