sign a contract agreement for an exhibit-E website; and
provide payment according to the Terms of the website contract agreement, and in so doing accept these Terms and Conditions.
If a Subscriber has designated Users and granted them Authorization, such Users will be deemed to be authorized to act on behalf of the Subscriber when using the Account. We are not responsible for, and shall have no liability for verifying, the Authorization of any User.
9.2. Logging Into an Account. We shall provide the Subscriber with a username and password (“Login Credentials”) for logging into the Account. The Subscriber and each User are responsible for keeping confidential all login credentials associated with an Account. The Subscriber must promptly notify us of any disclosure, loss or unauthorized use of any Login Credentials.
9.3. Fees. The use of an Account is subject to a monthly Fee. All Fees are non-refundable, i.e., there are no refunds or credits for periods when the Subscriber did not use an activated Account, or used it only partially. If, after signing up, the Subscriber elects to upgrade to a more expensive option, the unused portion of any prepaid Fees shall not be applied to the Fee of the more expensive option.
All Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies or duties applicable under any applicable law, unless otherwise stated herein. The Subscriber is solely responsible for the payment of such taxes, levies or duties.
