All sales are final and Commerce Rocket offers no partial or full refunds of any kind on any purchase unless otherwise expressly noted, even if your Services are suspended, terminated or transferred before the end of the Services.

B. Payment.All payments are due upon signup; the Services will not begin until payment is received. All recurring charges will be due on the monthly, semi-annual or annual anniversary date of your initial signup. If an ACH payment is returned or rejected by Commerce Rocket's bank, or incurs additional costs for Commerce Rocket (e.g., bank fees) for any reason, then Customer may be charged a service fee of $40 and be required reimburse all such fees and costs incurred by Commerce Rocket, and Customer shall be immediately deemed to be in default of this Agreement.

If Customer defaults, Customer agrees to pay Commerce Rocket its reasonable expenses, including attorney, in house legal expenses and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights.
C. Billing Policies and Cycles.We offer billing via credit card , debit card charge, and ACH only. All initial fees must be paid prior to service setup. These fees may include service setup fees and first month service charge. Our billing cycle begins on the day we setup your account, and is due on that day each month thereafter. Commerce Rocket attempts to automatically charge the credit card on file for any past due invoice for current, suspended and cancelled accounts. Accounts suspended and reactivated must pay all past due and current amounts. Accounts past due over 30 days cannot be reactivated. You must sign up for new service and pay the full setup fees associated with the plan you choose. To cancel your account, you must follow the procedure in Section 18.

D. Taxes.All fees charged by Commerce Rocket for the Services are exclusive of all taxes, VAT and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction and/or the delivery of Services, all of which Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes based on Commerce Rocket's net income.

B. End Users to Comply with AUP.Customer acknowledges that Commerce Rocket may terminate an end user's access to Customer's Web Site for noncompliance with Commerce Rocket's AUP. Commerce Rocket may thus terminate such end user's access to Customer's Content even if the end user has not violated Customer's own terms and conditions of use of its Web Site. Commerce Rocket acknowledges that Customer may terminate a User's access to Customer's Content for noncompliance with Customer's terms and conditions.
11. Security
Customer acknowledges that the Internet is not a secure or completely reliable system, and that the purpose of the Services is to allow end users easy access to Customer's Content. Commerce Rocket will take those precautions Commerce Rocket deems reasonable in its sole discretion to secure Customer's Web Site from attack, but Commerce Rocket makes no warranty that there will be no outages or interruptions of service, or that Customer's Content will be secure against attack of any form by end users or other third parties.
12. PCI Guidelines
Commerce Rocket provides a framework to its customers which is CISP certified under optimal security settings. However, if a Commerce Rocket customer chooses to view credit card information, that customer is choosing an inherently less secure set of security settings as well as assuming higher risk that Commerce Rocket does not endorse or recommend.
Therefore, if a Commerce Rocket customer chooses to view credit card information that customer assumes all liability for their actions and the inherent risk associated with viewing credit card information. Commerce Rocket will not be responsible for any such risk or liability regardless of the security settings.
Further, if a merchant chooses to view credit card information, they are certifying that they understand and are following all PCI guidelines for viewing credit card information. These guidelines can be found at Visa's website: PCI Overview
If a merchant does not follow all of the PCI guidelines when viewing credit card information, that merchant is in breach of its contract with Commerce Rocket and possibly Visa/Mastercard/Discover/American Express.
Regardless of viewing credit card information merchants must comply with the PCI DSS and assume liability applicable to PCI DSS. In addition per guidelines stores must use a strong security protocol such as SSL to safeguard sensitive cardholder data over networks.
At its discretion, Commerce Rocket reserves the right to change the security settings of any merchant at any time with or without warning.
13. Prohibited Practices
Commerce Rocket shall have no duty or obligation to monitor Customer's Content or any other Content provided or distributed by others, and Commerce Rocket shall not edit or otherwise exercise any control over Customer's Content. Nevertheless, Commerce Rocket may, in its sole discretion at any time, without notice to Customer, and without liability to Customer, remove from public view, disconnect, or terminate the hosting of any of Customer's Content or other Content that Commerce Rocket deems in its sole discretion to be offensive or illegal, for any one or more of the following reasons: (i) the content is adjudicated to be in violation of the laws of the state where the server resides; illegal or sexually explicit Content or activities, or any Content that allegedly violates the law, rules or regulations of any country or subdivision thereof; (ii) the content constitutes harassment of Users, including, but not limited to, by means of Customer's billing practices; or (iii) Customer's noncompliance with or material breach of any of the terms and conditions of the AUP or this Agreement; or (iv) claims made by third parties against Commerce Rocket that Customer or any of its end users has engaged in one or more of the above practices.

At all times, you shall bear full risk of loss and damage to your web site and all of your web site content. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information. You agree you are solely responsible for all acts, omissions and use under and charges incurred with your account or password or in connection with the Site or any of your web site content displayed, linked, transmitted through or stored on the Server.

Website Vulnerability
If your website is the target of a DDoS or other attack, you consent to Commerce Rocket performing mitigation procedures with or without notice to you and without liability for any delay, disruption or interruption of service. Such procedures may include, but are not limited to, taking your website offline in order to isolate your website in a quarantine server, implementing ACL (access control lists), IP filtering, IP blocking, or any other mitigation techniques necessary to block the DDoS or other attack. Further, these techniques will remain in place until your website experiences at least 48 hours of continuous non-malicious, "normal" traffic.
If your website is moved to a quarantine Server, it will remain there for a minimum of 48 hours. After the initial 48 hour period, Commerce Rocket will evaluate all traffic targeting your merchant website. If any traffic targeting your merchant website is deemed to be malicious, in Commerce Rocket's sole discretion, your website will remain on said quarantine Server until it experiences 48 hours of continuous non-malicious, "normal" traffic.
Domain Name Registration
No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal
As a domain name registrar, Commerce Rocket is, upon accepting your application to register or renew a domain name, your sponsor for that application. No domain name registrations shall be deemed effective unless and until we deliver the domain name registration or renewal application you provide us to the appropriate registry administrator, as applicable, and that registry administrator accepts your application and activates your domain name registration or renewal. You will be entitled to a refund only if your registration is unsuccessful.
You acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket does not guarantee that you will be able to register or renew a desired domain name, even if our systems indicate that domain name is available or you are able to complete an order with respect to such name. You also understand that Commerce Rocket cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking to register is simultaneously being sought by a third party, or whether there are any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process or related databases, including the various WHOIS or other registry databases. You also acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket is not responsible for any inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT YOUR REGISTRATION OR RENEWAL HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROCESSED. You further acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket may elect to accept or reject your application for registration or renewal for any reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited to, rejection due to a request for registration or renewal of a prohibited domain name. You also acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by any third party including any registry administrator arising out of or related to your application for and registration of, renewal of, or failure to register or renew a particular domain name.
Your Representations
By applying to register a domain name, or by asking us to maintain or renew a domain name registration, you hereby represent and warrant to us that (a) the statements that you made in connection with such registration, maintenance, or renewal are complete and accurate, and your contact information will be kept current; (b) the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party; (c) you are not registering the domain name for an unlawful purpose; and (d) you will not use the domain name in violation of any applicable laws, regulations, or Commerce Rocket's rules or policies. You agree and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine whether your domain name registration or use infringes or violates someone else's rights, including, but not limited to, whether any foreign language translations of your domain name, either between roman-alphabet languages, between non-roman alphabet languages, or between roman-alphabet and non-roman alphabet languages, infringe or violate someone else's rights.
Domain Name Registrant
When registering a domain name with us, you will be asked to designate a registrant for the domain name. The registrant of a domain name possesses all rights granted by Commerce Rocket under this Agreement to act with respect to that domain name and any other services obtained from Commerce Rocket for use with that domain name. These rights include (but are not limited to) the authority to terminate, transfer (where permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services, or obtain additional services.
IF A REGISTRANT TRANSFERS A DOMAIN NAME TO ANOTHER REGISTRAR OR TO A NEW REGISTRANT, THE Commerce Rocket SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT DOMAIN NAME MAY TERMINATE FOLLOWING THE TRANSFER.
Administrative Contact
During the registration process or thereafter, you must also designate an administrative contact. The administrative contact may be the same person or entity as the registrant, or may be different. The registrant may delegate certain of its rights to the administrative contact, including managing the domain name, purchasing additional services and transferring the domain name registration to a different registrar. The registrant is responsible for all actions or omissions of the administrative contact.
Fees, Service Term, Renewal Reminders
Each domain name registration is for a one-year initial term, or such longer term as you may order or as may be required by a particular registry administrator, and is renewable thereafter for successive one to ten-year terms, as set forth during the renewal process.
Any renewal of your Services with us is subject to our then-current terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, payment of all applicable Service fees at the time of renewal and the registry administrator's acceptance of such renewal.
The Renewal Grace Period, while subject to change at any time, is currently 30 days. If you do not purchase the renewal from Commerce Rocket during the Renewal Grace Period your domain name will be flagged for deletion. Once a domain name has been deleted you have a 30-day redemption window during which you may pay Commerce Rocket a Redemption fee to redeem your domain name. The Redemption fee is subject to change under the terms of this agreement. If the domain name is not redeemed prior to the end of the 30-day redemption period your domain name will be released and it will become available for registration through all domain name providers on a first-come-first-served basis. To transfer a domain name during the redemption period, you must first redeem the domain (at the current redemption fee) and then purchase a domain transfer at the transfer fee. The transfer fee is subject to change under the terms of this agreement.
In the case of a domain name that has been transferred to Commerce Rocket as the registrant for any reason, Commerce Rocket retains the right to modify the contact information in the WHOIS record for such domain name registration to include Commerce Rocket's contact information or that of a third party. In addition, we reserve all rights regarding such domain name registration including, without limitation, the right to (a) make the domain name registration available to other parties for purchase; and (b) to disable the DNS so that the domain name no longer resolves on the Internet, or to direct the domain name to an IP address designated by us, including, without limitation, to an IP address which hosts a parking, under construction or other page that may include promotions and advertisements for, and links to, Commerce Rocket's Web site, Commerce Rocket's product and service offerings, third-party Web sites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines, as well as advertise the sale or auction of such domain name registration. We will reinstate any such Service solely at our discretion, and subject to our receipt of the applicable Service or renewal fee and our then-current reinstatement fee.
You acknowledge that you assume all risk and all consequences if you wait until close to or after the end of a Service term to attempt to renew such Service. If a Service is not successfully renewed prior to the expiration of its then-current term, all your rights to such Service will terminate, and we will have no obligation to allow you to renew a Service once its expiration date has passed, even if a registry administrator or third party service provider provides a grace period to Commerce Rocket upon expiration or termination of such Service. You acknowledge that post-expiration renewal or redemption processes implemented on your behalf are subject to our then-current fees.
Specifically, with respect to domain names, you acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket may, upon expiration or termination, elect, at its sole discretion, to: (i) delete the domain name, (ii) renew the domain name on behalf of a third party, (iii) sell the domain name; or (iv) otherwise make such domain name available to third parties. Any expired domain name that is not sold, renewed or otherwise made available to a third party will generally be deleted between 35 and 45 days from the expiration date.
In addition, upon expiration of a domain name registration, Commerce Rocket may elect, at its sole discretion, to disable the DNS so that the domain name no longer resolves on the Internet, or to direct the domain name to an IP address designated by us, including, without limitation, to an IP address which hosts a parking, under construction or other page that may include promotions and advertisements for, and links to, Commerce Rocket's Web site, Commerce Rocket's product and service offerings, third-party Web sites, third-party product and service offerings, and/or Internet search engines, as well as advertise the sale or auction of the expired domain name registration. Additionally, you agree that we may modify the contact information in the WHOIS record for the expired domain name registration to include Commerce Rocket's contact information or that of a third party.

You acknowledge and agree that willfully providing inaccurate or unreliable information or willfully failing to update information promptly will constitute a material breach of this Agreement that will be a sufficient basis for cancellation of your domain name registration or Service(s), in our sole discretion. You further acknowledge and agree that your failure to respond for over fifteen (15) calendar days to an inquiry by Commerce Rocket concerning the accuracy of contact details associated with your domain name registration shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and will be a sufficient basis for cancellation of your domain name registration.
You agree that Commerce Rocket (itself or through its third party service providers) is authorized, but not obligated, to use certain address or billing correction services to update and/or to change any address or billing information associated with your account (including, without limitation, registrant address, billing contact address, and credit card information), and you agree that Commerce Rocket may use such changed information for all purposes in connection with your account (including the sending of renewal notices or invoices or for automatic renewal charges).
Disclosure and Use of Information
You acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket may make available information you provide or that we otherwise maintain, to such public or private third parties as applicable laws require or permit, including, but not limited to, making publicly available, or directly available, some or all of such information: (i) for inspection by law enforcement officials (including in the case of potential criminal activity); (ii) to respond to criminal and civil subpoenas and court orders that reasonably appear to be valid; (iii) in connection with the sale of all or certain of our assets; (iv) to enforce or apply the terms of this Agreement; and (v) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Commerce Rocket, our users, or others, whether during or after the term of your use of the Service.

You hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and causes of action you may have arising from such disclosure or use of information provided by you.
We will not process data about any identified or identifiable natural person that we obtain from you in a way incompatible with the purposes and other limitations which we describe in this Agreement.
Commerce Rocket will take reasonable precautions to protect the information it obtains from you from our loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure or use, or alteration or destruction, of that information. However, Commerce Rocket will have no liability to you or any third party provided that such reasonable precautions are taken.
System Performance Degradation
Commerce Rocket depends upon its own and third party, computer systems to provide the Services, and to provide timely information to Commerce Rocket's customer service team. Occasionally, these computer systems are subjected to exceptional volumes of incoming data, service requests, processes, electronic mail messages, and/or WHOIS queries that result in significant degradation of system processing and response time. Regardless of the reason, in those instances when there is system performance degradation, Commerce Rocket reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to filter or block electronic messages, data and/or processes originating from or traveling to the identified sources of the high volume traffic. Commerce Rocket will attempt to selectively restore service after system performance returns to normal limits, provided that such restoration does not result in an adverse impact on the system. Commerce Rocket further reserves the right to permanently filter or block repeated sources of high volumes of electronic traffic.
Finally, you acknowledge and agree that if your server is involved in an attack on any computer system, either with or without your knowledge or complicity, your account will be shut down while the matter is investigated and resolved in Commerce Rocket's absolute discretion.
Suspension, Cancellation, Transfer or Modification of Service(s)
You acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket may suspend, cancel, transfer or modify your use of the Services at any time, for any reason, in Commerce Rocket's sole discretion and without notice to you. You also acknowledge and agree that Commerce Rocket shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Commerce Rocket may, in its sole discretion, suspend, cancel, transfer or modify a domain name registration (a) to correct mistakes made by Commerce Rocket, another registrar, or the applicable registry administrator, (b) to resolve a dispute related to that domain name, (c) within thirty (30) calendar days of the creation date of that domain name registration, (d) if you materially breach this Agreement (including any applicable additional rule or policy) and do not cure such breach within five (5) calendar days of notice by Commerce Rocket, (e) if you use the domain name registered to you to send unsolicited commercial advertisements in contradiction to either applicable laws or customary acceptable usage policies of the Internet, or (f) if you use a domain name in connection with unlawful activity.

You also agree that Commerce Rocket shall have the right in its sole discretion to suspend, cancel, transfer or otherwise modify your domain name registration at such time as Commerce Rocket receives what reasonably appears to be (a) an authentic notification from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (b) an arbitration award requiring the suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification of your domain name registration.

In order to maintain our system integrity and resources we expect our customers to act responsibly. When you use any Commerce Rocket services, in any form, you automatically agree to the following Conditions.
Commerce Rocket maintains high standards and values, and expects the same from its customers. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all Services provided when we decide, in our sole discretion, that the account has been inappropriately used.

Transfer Policy
Commerce Rocket will only provide access to an account to the designated Owner or Point of Contact of that account regardless of whether someone else maintains, pays for or otherwise administers the account. The "Owner" of the account is the person or entity whose name was used to set up the account. Only the Owner will be authorized to transfer the ownership of the Commerce Rocket store or other Services. Commerce Rocket is not a court of law and will not arbitrate or adjudicate disputes between potential Owners. If there is a dispute of the named Owner's right to the store or Services, Commerce Rocket will comply with any court order or settlement agreement.
To transfer ownership of one of your Commerce Rocket store orders, we will need a signed, notarized copy of the Transfer of Ownership form.As an alternative, you may send a faxed copy of a notarized contract or sales agreement signed by both current and new account holders as long as it specifically mentions the Commerce Rocket account as part of the sales agreement. Once completed, please fax the form to 801-765-4705, marked to the attention of Account Services.
Please note that an existing SSL certificate cannot be transferred from the existing account to the new account. A new one will need to be added to the new order, or purchased separately later. Please be sure that the domain registration's WHOIS information matches the new order details. Note that the store will only be accessible at its new temporary address for up to 72 hours while the updated settings propagate.
Please note that once the new Owner places a store order, we recommend that you place your store in maintenance mode and refrain from any administrative updates, as new data added during or after the copying procedure may fail to appear in new owner's store, and/or may cause duplication of database record ID#s. This will also prevent customers from placing orders which might be affected by the data copying. Since PCI guidelines prevent us from copying full credit card data, any order which is not captured prior to copying cannot be captured from the new, copied Commerce Rocket store.
