Terms of Service
This page last published: February

- Order, Acceptance and Service.
- When
Accepted by OldOak.net, the Order submitted by Customer creates a
contract between Customer and OldOak.net, consisting of the Service
Agreement, the applicable Service Description(s), the then-current
Acceptable Use Policy, and these Terms of Service. An Order is
"Accepted" by OldOak.net when OldOak.net confirms the order
online or provides Services in response to
the Order.
- OldOak.net
will provide, and Customer will purchase and pay for, the Services
specified in the Service Agreement for fees specified in the Service
Agreement (the "Service Fees").
- Customer
will not use storage space in excess of the storage limits established
for the Services in the Service Descriptions, plus any storage space
purchased by Customer. If Customer uses storage space in excess of such
amounts, OldOak.net may, without limiting its other rights or remedies,
assess Customer additional fees.
- If
Customer's actual bandwidth usage in any month exceeds the limit in the
Service Description, Customer will pay OldOak.net such additional fees as
may be specified in the Service Description.
- Fees, Taxes, and Payment.
Customer will
pay to OldOak.net the Service Fees in the manner set forth in the Service
Agreement. OldOak.net may increase the Service Fees (i) in the manner permitted
in the Service Description and (ii) at any time by providing thirty
(30) days prior written notice thereof to Customer. The Service Fees do
not include any applicable sales tax imposed by any taxing authority. All such
taxes will be added to OldOak.net's invoices for the Service Fees as separate
charges to be paid by Customer. All fees are fully earned when due and
non-refundable when paid. Any amounts payable to OldOak.net which are not paid
when due will bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per
month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less. If OldOak.net
collects any payment through arbitration, litigation or through
a collection agency, Customer will pay all costs of collection,
including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
If any check is returned for insufficient funds, OldOak.net may impose a
processing charge of $25.
- Term and Termination.
- Services
will commence on the Service Activation Date indicated in the Service
Agreement and continue until terminated in accordance with these Terms of
Service.
- OldOak.net
may terminate this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of any one
or more of the following events: (i) the Customer fails to pay when due
any amounts required to be paid under this Agreement; (ii) the Customer
breaches any material term or provision of this Agreement (other than a
breach described in subsection (i) above), and if capable of cure, such
breach remains uncured 30 days after OldOak.net gives written notice
thereof to the Customer. The Customer may reactivate an Agreement which has been terminated due to non-payment
of any amounts due by paying the amounts due plus the Initial Set Up Fee
for each Service within thirty (30) days of termination.
- OldOak.net
may terminate this Agreement if the Customer becomes insolvent, makes an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, institutes or becomes
subject to any proceeding under any bankruptcy or similar laws for the
relief of debtors, or seeks the appointment of, or becomes subject to the
appoint of, any trustee or receiver for all or any portion of such
party's assets.
- OldOak.net
may immediately terminate this Agreement, without notice, (i) if the
Services are prohibited by applicable law, or (2)
become impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or
regulatory reason, or (3) if OldOak.net determines that
Customer's use of the Customer Web site or the Customer Content violates
the Acceptable Use Policy. After termination under this
portion of the agreement, OldOak.net shall provide written notice to the Customer of the termination and the reasons for the
termination.
- Customer may
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to OldOak.net at
least 30 days prior to the date of termination. Customer may terminate
this Agreement if OldOak.net breaches any material term or provision of
this Agreement and, if capable of cure, such breach remains uncured 30
days after Customer gives written notice thereof to OldOak.net.
- Upon
termination of this Agreement neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement,
except as expressly set forth herein. The provisions of
Sections 3(f), 4, 8, 10, 11, and 13 of this Agreement shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason
whatsoever, and, notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, the Customer remain liable to OldOak.net for any indebtedness
or other liability theretofore arising under this Agreement. Termination
of this Agreement and retention of pre-paid fees and charges shall be in
addition to, and not be in lieu of, any other legal or equitable rights
or remedies to which OldOak.net may be entitled.

and releases for the use of the Customer Content and each element thereof,
including without limitation, all trademarks, logos, names and likenesses
contained therein, without any obligation by OldOak.net to pay any fees, residuals,
guild payments or other compensation of any kind to any Person; Customer's use,
publication and display of the Customer Content will not infringe any

- Unless the
applicable Service Description provides otherwise, Customer is solely

needs of their enterprise and/or usage requirements. To assure that OldOak.net'S
Hosting Services are reliable and available for all of our customers,
Customer's usage of Hosting Services cannot adversely affect other
customers. Customer agrees that if a server approaches capacity,
Customer's account may be moved to another server, which may change

customers, OldOak.net may disable, suspend, or terminate your Hosting

Shared Hosting Services primarily as online storage space for archived
electronic files is prohibited.

Agreement does not transfer from OldOak.net to Customer any OldOak.net
Technology, and all rights, titles and interests in and to the OldOak.net
Technology shall remain solely with OldOak.net. Customer shall not,
directly or indirectly, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or
otherwise attempt to derive source code or other trade secrets from any
of the OldOak.net Technology.

feedback, data, answers, questions, comments, suggestions, ideas or the
like which Customer sends to OldOak.net relating to the Services will be

use, disclose or publish any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques
contained in such information for any purpose whatsoever.
- Limited Warranty.

Description for some Services may specify a 30 Day,
Money Back Guarantee ("Guarantee"). Customer may, at Customer's
sole option, request a refund of all fees paid for such Service. The
request must made in writing and received by OldOak.net
within 30 days of the Service Activation Date. The request must state the
reason for the refund request. A Customer may receive no more than one
refund for a Service. OldOak.net may refuse to sell and provision a
service if, in its sole judgment, it believes that the Customer intends a
priori to use the service for less than 30 days and intends a priori to
exercise the Guarantee.
- OldOak.net
represents and warrants to Customer that the Services will be performed
(i) in a manner consistent with industry standards reasonably applicable
to the performance thereof; (ii) at least at the same level of service as

applicable Service Descriptions. Customer will be deemed to have accepted
such Services unless Customer notifies OldOak.net within 30 days after
performance of any Services of any breach of the foregoing warranties.
Customer's sole and exclusive remedy, and OldOak.net's sole obligation,
for breach of the foregoing warranties shall be for OldOak.net, at its
option, to re-perform the defective Services at no cost to Customer, or,
in the event of interruptions to the Services caused by a breach of the
foregoing warranties, issue Customer a credit in an amount equal to the
current monthly Service Fees pro rated by the number of hours in which
the Services have been interrupted.
- The
foregoing warranties shall not apply to performance issues or defects in
the Services (i) caused by factors outside of OldOak.net's reasonable
control; (ii) that resulted from any actions or inactions of Customer or
any third parties; or (iii) that resulted from Customer's equipment or
any third-party equipment not within the sole control of OldOak.net.

Person, including any losses, damages or expenses arising from any such
claim or suit. Customer agrees to cooperate with and assist OldOak.net in
the defense or settlement of any such claim or suit. Customer shall be

providing any cooperation or assistance requested by OldOak.net, but OldOak.net
will not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without its prior

of the commencement or filing of any claim or suit, against which
Customer may be indemnified hereunder, Customer shall give written notice
thereof to OldOak.net, provided that failure to give or delay in giving
such notice to OldOak.net shall not relieve OldOak.net of any liability
it may have to Customer hereunder, except to the extent that the defense
of such claim or suit is prejudiced thereby. OldOak.net shall have sole
control of the defense, and of all negotiations for settlement, of such
claim or suit. Subject to the foregoing, Customer may participate in the

sole option and expense, either (i) procure for Customer the right to use
the Services or affected part thereof as provided in this Agreement; (ii)
replace the Services or affected part thereof with other non-infringing
services or modify the Services or affected part thereof so as to be
non-infringing; or (iii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to
Customer.

shall entitle the other party to injunctive or other equitable relief.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each

default in any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute a
waiver of or an assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same
