MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (“MRC”) is entered into this day, _________________, by and between Go Cheap Hosting, located in Washington, DC, PO BOX 18543, Washington, DC 20036 ('GO CHEAP HOSTING') and _____________________________________, _______________________________________________________________('Customer'):

1. SERVICES. GO CHEAP HOSTING agrees to provide to Customer and Customer agrees to procure from GO CHEAP HOSTING certain communication services to be described in Sales Order(s) issued and agreed upon by the parties. Once agreed upon and accepted by the parties, such Sales Order(s) will become a part of this Agreement and be binding upon the parties hereto. Each Sales Order will describe the communication services to be provided ("Services"), the agreed to term ("Contract Term'), the recurring (monthly) and/or non recurring (provisioning or other) charges, and such information as may be necessary.

A. You agree to supply appropriate payment for the services received from GoCheapHosting.com, in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. You agree that until and unless you notify GoCheapHosting.com of your desire to cancel (please use our cancellation form) any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis. GoCheapHosting.com reserves the right to change the monthly payment amount and any other charges at anytime.
B. Domain Names are non-refundable. If you register a domain name and it is spelled incorrectly, you cannot have a refund. Once the domain name is ordered, it cannot be changed. Therefore payments for domain names should be paid within 30 days of the date that it expires. We cannot add years to it without payment to GoCheapHosting.com. For example, if your domain name is set to expire on 8/1/06, then payment should be made 30 days before your domain name expires. If it is not ordered then the chances of getting the domain will be harder and any existing mail server or hosted web site will disappear until you get the domain name back.
1. GoCheapHosting.com will charge a one time fee of 10.00 to re-register the domain name for you after payment has been received from the customer.

C. SSL certificates are also the same way as a domain name. If you do not register the SSL certificate within 30 days of expiring, we cannot order services for you that are not paid for in advance.
