10. Abuse of Services
a.Any use of JOIN2DAY.COM system resources that

intervention. Some examples of system abuse include, but are not limited
to, spawning dozens of processes, consuming excessive amounts of memory
or CPU for long periods of time, spamming or mass emailing using internal
or external mail and/or news servers. Without limiting the scope of the
above, JOIN2DAY.COM forbids the storage of illegal/pirated software (warez),
the use of any type of IRC bot and/or proxy (including, but not limited
to, bnc and eggdrop), the storage and use of any type of software intended

intended for spamming or resale purposes.

abuse, the user may receive an E-mail warning or have his/her account suspended
by JOIN2DAY.COM Technical Support. If the misuse is unintentional, the
suspension may be rescinded following discussion with JOIN2DAY.COM Technical
Support. If the misuse is intentional, the suspension may be rescinded
at the discretion of the Operations Manager, and may require the payment
of a service re connection charge. Occasionally, unintentional misuse is
misclassified as intentional misuse. Customers who believe their activity
has been misclassified may appeal to the Operations Manager. However, spamming
activities will result in immediate termination of services to CUSTOMER.

of JOIN2DAY.COM conditions of use. You are expected to report to JOIN2DAY.COM
any information you may have concerning instances in which the conditions
of use have been or are being violated. When JOIN2DAY.COM becomes aware
of possible violations, we will initiate an investigation. At the same
time, in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity, JOIN2DAY.COM

The CUSTOMER understands and agrees that Join2day.com's services
are based on STANDARD Internet technologies that have been designed to
work in the Year 2000 and beyond on a "Best Efforts" basis (rather than
"Contractual" basis). Although Join2day.com takes the Y2K issue seriously
and continues to evaluate its readiness, given the true nature of Year
2000 issues, contractual warranties specific to Year 2000 readiness are
NOT appropriate. It is a simple fact that a single technology provider
can NOT solve all issues related to the transition to the Year 2000. Accordingly,
the limited warranties for Join2day.com's services are set forth in the
Terms & Conditions page. Join2day.com will continue to keep its customers
informed. The information we disseminate about year 2000 readiness
does NOT constitute an extension of any warranty for Join2day.com's
services. Join2day.com provides this information to our customers to help
them in evaluating and correcting potential issues for using dates into
the next century.
14. Assignment and Agents
a.The rights and liabilities of the parties hereto
will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, executors

consent of JOIN2DAY.COM. JOIN2DAY.COM may assign its rights and obligations
under this Agreement to a third party in connection with a merger, consolidation,
sale of all or substantially all of JOIN2DAY.COM's assets or other corporate
reorganization.
b.CUSTOMER agrees that if an application for domain
name registration or web hosting completed by an agent for the CUSTOMER
(sometimes called Administrative Contact), the CUSTOMER is nonetheless
bound as a principal by all terms and conditions herein.
15. Governing Law/Severability
Any Agreement, arising from the business relationships between
JOIN2DAY.COM and the CUSTOMER, will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the New York State, USA, without reference to its conflicts
of laws principles. CUSTOMER agrees that any litigation or arbitration
between the parties will take place in the New York State, USA, and consent
to personal jurisdiction and venue in that State. If any provision of that
Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable
for any reason, the remainder of that Agreement will continue in full force
and effect.
16. Age of Majority
JOIN2DAY.COM cannot accept agreements and payments from persons
under the age of 18 years. Therefore, JOIN2DAY.COM requires that its agreements

must be over the age of 18 years. Otherwise, a parent or guardian must
accept this agreement and ensure the proper payment.
17. Complete Understanding/Modification

the full and complete understanding and agreement of the CUSTOMER and JOIN2DAY.COM,
relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings,
