14. PCI Guidelines
Power-eCommerce provides a framework to its customers which is CISP certified under optimal security settings. However, if a Power-eCommerce customer chooses to utilize the software other than as intended, utilize third party services or software, fail to request and pay for a SSL Certificate, or otherwise combine the software with software not approved by Power-eCommerce (each a "Customer Fail Point"), Customer may fail to comply with the minimum PCI standards regardless of Power-eCommerce's certification.
Therefore, if a Power-eCommerce customer chooses to engage in one or more Customer Fail Points, that customer assumes all liability for their actions and the inherent risk associated with viewing, processing, storing or transmitting credit card information and agrees to indemnify Power-eCommerce of any costs, claims or damages associated with such risk. Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce and possibly Visa/MasterCard/Discover/American Express. You agree to indemnify and hold Power-eCommerce harmless from any and all claims, costs or damages associated with your failure to follow PCI guidelines.
Regardless of any Customer Fail Point, a customer must comply with the PCI DSS and assume liability applicable to PCI DSS. In addition, per PCI guidelines, stores must use a strong security protocol such as SSL to safeguard sensitive cardholder data over networks.
At its discretion, Power-eCommerce reserves the right to change the security settings of any merchant at any time with or without warning. Power-eCommerce further reserves the right, but not the obligation, to suspend or terminate any merchant that is suspected or proven to be in violation of minimum PCI guidelines.

Yn addition to the general Terms of Service above, you also agree to be bound by the additional service specific terms applicable to the Services you purchase and/or use. The following Service Specific Terms and Policies are hereby incorporated by reference and will be binding upon the parties.
E-Commerce/Hosting Services
E-commerce License
Power-eCommerce grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use the ecommerce solution as defined by the package you have selected for the sole purpose of operating an online store. All rights not expressly granted are hereby reserved by Power-eCommerce.
Hosting Services
Power-eCommerce shall provide storage for the Software and content of Customer's Web Site and make it available for end-users to access (the "Hosting Services"). Customer will be allocated the disk space and SQL disk space as designated in the plan purchased. Should Customer use more than the designated disk space, Power-eCommerce reserves the right to charge an Overage fee at then current list price. Disk space overages shall be calculated by using a daily average over a monthly period. Customer agrees that if it goes over the allocated disk space, Power-eCommerce shall charge and Customer shall pay an overage fee for each 1 GB block used in whole or in part. For clarity and not limitation, if Customer uses .5 GB over the allocated space, Customer will be charged for 1GB, if the customer uses 1.3 GB, Customer will be charged for 2GB. Customer will have the option to pre-purchase blocks of additional space above and beyond that included in the plan. Such blocks of additional space shall be sold as a reoccurring add-on to the Plan subject to the terms and conditions herein. Should Customer use more than the designated SQL disk space, Power-eCommerce reserves the right to clean SQL tables and charge Customer for such service, require Customer clean tables or otherwise reduce space usage, or charge a fee for such overage. Power-eCommerce, in its sole discretion, may select to take any or all of the above actions; however it has no obligation to take any of the above actions. The servers used to provide the Hosting Services are physically located in the United States of America and as such all content will be subject to the laws thereof.
You agree Power-eCommerce has no control of availability of the Hosting Services on a continuous or uninterrupted basis. Power-eCommerce makes no warranty that the Hosting Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. You acknowledge that there are risks inherent in Internet connectivity that could result in the loss of your privacy, confidential information and property.
You further agree that as a normal course of its business, it may be necessary for Power-eCommerce to migrate its servers. As a result, even though you may have a dedicated IP, You may be assigned a different IP number. Power-eCommerce does not warrant that you will be able to consistently maintain Your given IP numbers.
Burst Capacity
From time to time your site may be subject to an event expected to cause a significant spike in traffic, such as appearance on a nationally syndicated television show or substantially advertised promotion. Power-eCommerce reserves the right, but not the obligation to quarantine your site, throttle traffic or invoke other necessary techniques to protect other customers from being affected in the event of a sudden, significant increase in traffic. Power-eCommerce encourages you to provide advanced notice of such planned events to us so that we can create a response plan to minimize the effect on your site. Unless otherwise agreed to by an authorized Power-eCommerce Manager, any move to a quarantined or otherwise dedicated server will be will not last more than seven (7) days, and will not include any additional support, or any warranties of increased bandwidth, uptime, connections per second, or other enhanced performance metrics. Unless you purchase a Burst Capacity bundle and/or pre-pay for expected bandwidth overages, all normal overage fees shall apply. If you purchase a Burst Capacity bundle that includes Fraud Score, you will receive a 1 month subscription to the designated Fraud Score package. Your subscription will automatically renew as a recurring monthly subscription unless and until you cancel such subscription as provided for in Section "Cancellation and Termination".
Service Level Warranty
Power-eCommerce warrants that the network will be available 99.9% of the time in a given month. This service level warranty shall not apply to performance issues: (1) to the extent caused by factors outside of Power-eCommerce's reasonable control; (2) that resulted from any actions or inactions of Customer or any third parties not affiliated with Power-eCommerce, for example a DDOS attack on Customer's site or another customer's site hosted on the same server; (3) that resulted from Customer's equipment and/or third party equipment; (4) that resulted from software related issues; or (5) that are scheduled by Power-eCommerce for purposes of maintaining or updating the Web Site or the Software. The network availability measurement expressly excludes downtime caused by (1)-(5) above.
Subject to Section 17 of this Agreement, if you experience Network Downtime above and beyond the 99.9% availability, upon request Power-eCommerce will refund a customer 5% of the monthly fee for each 30 minutes of Downtime (up to and not to exceed 100% of customer's monthly fee). This is your sole and exclusive remedy for failure to meet the Service Level Warranty. "Network Downtime" exists when a particular customer is unable to transmit and receive data and Power-eCommerce records such failure in the Power-eCommerce trouble ticket system. Network Downtime is measured from the time the trouble ticket is opened by the customer to the time the server is once again able to transmit and receive data. If Customer fails to comply with this requirement, Customer forfeits its right to a receive service credit.
Web Site Content
You shall be solely responsible for providing, updating, uploading and maintaining your web site and any and all files, pages, data, works, information and/or materials on, within, displayed, linked or transmitted to, from or through your web site, including, without limitation, trade or service marks, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, audio clips, video clips, email or other messages, meta tags, domain names, software and text.

Domain Name Registration
Generic Top Level Domain Registrations
Power-eCommerce is an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for various generic top-level domain names including .com, .net, biz, ("gTLDs").
You acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of ICANN's Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP"), as amended from time to time, which is hereby incorporated and made a part of this Agreement by reference for all gTLD domain name registrations or renewals. You acknowledge that Power-eCommerce is a registrar bound by an agreement between Power-eCommerce and ICANN. You agree that Power-eCommerce may modify this agreement in order to comply with applicable law and the terms and conditions set forth by the ICANN and/or the Registry Administrator chosen by ICANN, as well as any registration rules or policies that may be published from time to time by Power-eCommerce.
No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal
As a domain name registrar, Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce'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 Power-eCommerce under this Agreement to act with respect to that domain name and any other services obtained from Power-eCommerce 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 POWER-ECOMMERCE 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.
Coming Soon Web Page
All domain names registered through Power-eCommerce are pointed to a "Coming Soon" Web page, which informs visitors that the registrant has recently registered their domain name via Power-eCommerce. The Coming Soon Web page may be modified at any time by Power-eCommerce without prior notice to you and may include such things as, without limitation (i) links to additional products and services offered by Power-eCommerce, (ii) advertisements for products and services offered by third-parties, and/or (iii) an internet search engine interface. If for any reason you do not wish to have the domain name you have registered pointed to a Coming Soon Web page, please notify our Customer Support.
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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce as the registrant for any reason, Power-eCommerce retains the right to modify the contact information in the WHOIS record for such domain name registration to include Power-eCommerce'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, Power-eCommerce's Web site, Power-eCommerce'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 Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce 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 gTLD 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, Power-eCommerce 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, Power-eCommerce's Web site, Power-eCommerce'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 Power-eCommerce's contact information or that of a third party.

You are solely responsible for the credit card and billing contact information you, your agents or Point of Contact provide to Power-eCommerce and you acknowledge and agree that you will promptly inform Power-eCommerce of any changes thereto (e.g., change of expiration date or account number).

System Performance Degradation
Power-eCommerce depends upon its own and third party, computer systems to provide the Services, and to provide timely information to Power-eCommerce'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.

None of the violations of the Restrictions will be enforced directly by or through Registry Operator. Registry Operator will not review, monitor, or otherwise verify that any particular domain name is being used primarily for business or commercial purposes or that a domain name is being used in compliance with the SUDRP or UDRP processes.

If you purchase Power-eCommerce's Email Marketing Services, Power-eCommerce will collaborate with you to create email campaigns highlighting your products and services. All campaigns will be sent from a Power-eCommerce-managed email account on your behalf through third-party service providers. To enable Power-eCommerce to provide this service, you must provide an email account and password. If you do not provide the required email and access, Power-eCommerce may create an email account on your behalf for use in providing the Email Marketing Services. Power-eCommerce has no control over, and you agree that Power-eCommerce has no liability for, the products or services provided by any third-party service provider. You agree that in order to participate in Power-eCommerce's Email Marketing Services, you also agree to abide by any terms and conditions required by those third-party service providers.
You will be required to regularly update your unsubscribe list via the Power-eCommerce admin. Power-eCommerce is not responsible for emails sent to addresses that have unsubscribed or the resulting violations of any law or regulation caused by your failure to timely update the list. Power-eCommerce will use the information provided by you to comply with the identification requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act. Failure to provide accurate information or to timely update the information provided may result in a violation of laws or regulations governing email marketing. Power-eCommerce will have no liability for any such violation. Power-eCommerce will not send any email marketing that it, in its sole discretion, determines to be spam or otherwise in violation of any law, regulation or the Power-eCommerce Acceptable Use Policy.
Campaigns will be created in the standard format. Should you desire a custom design that is different from the standard format, please contact Design Services to get a quote. All campaigns are created in collaboration with you and will not be sent unless you have provided the appropriate approvals. Approvals that are not received prior to the scheduled send time will not be sent until the next scheduled send time. You are solely responsible for approving campaigns in a timely manner. No credits or refunds will be issued for missed campaigns that were delayed due to your untimely approvals. You also acknowledge that different email platforms may render the email format differently. As such the email format that you approved may be altered when viewed by a customer from a different format. Limitations contained in the email and other third-party tools may restrict certain format changes. While Power-eCommerce will provide content individualized to you and your store, the formatting and other functional requirements will be limited by the tool capabilities.
While Power-eCommerce will create the email content, you are responsible for setting up and maintaining any links referenced in the email (i.e. social media accounts and/or landing pages.) Moreover, successful campaigns may result in additional bandwidth to your store. Regular bandwidth overages or Burst Capacity charges will apply in the event of increased bandwidth usage.
SSL Certificates
When purchasing an SSL Certificate, you are required to provide requested information in a timely manner in order to complete the purchase. If you fail to respond to our inquiries within 30 days or otherwise delay completion of the SSL Certificate process for 30 days or more, you agree that such order will be considered completed and will charge the non-refundable fee associated with such SSL Certificate. Should you wish to reinstate the SSL Certificate process after such time, you will need to place a new order and timely respond to all requirements. No credit for the completed order will be issued.
In addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you acknowledge that Power-eCommerce may provide the SSL Services through a third-party service provider, and accordingly, use of the SSL Services is subject to such service provider's acceptance of your application and your acceptance of their terms and conditions.
SEO Services
"SEO Services" means the search engine optimization services for Customer's Web Site described in this Agreement. SEO Services do not include any programs or other services not specifically described herein.
Customer hereby approves Power-eCommerce to access Customer-owned Google Account, including access to Blogger, Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools and Google Base, and other Customer-owned search engine marketing or other online accounts, as necessary, for the purpose of performing tasks as part of the SEO Services. Customer shall provide access information and passwords as needed and requested by Power-eCommerce from time to time.
As part of the SEO Services Power-eCommerce may "ghostwrite" certain articles on behalf of the Customer to be attributed to an individual within the Customer's organization (usually the owner) when published on Customer's blog and third party Web Sites. Customer authorizes Power-eCommerce to write and publish articles on his/her behalf on Customer's Web Site, blog and third party websites. Customer has the option to approve or suggest changes to articles within 2 business days of completion. If Customer suggests modifications, changes will be implemented and the article will be published without further delay. If Customer does not respond within 2 business days (Monday through Friday excluding Holidays), approval is assumed and the article will be published.
Customer acknowledges that Power-eCommerce will not be held responsible for delays in service caused by Customer's failure to provide necessary and requested information in a timely manner, including but not limited to approvals, login info and passwords, keywords, and other critical feedback (each and collectively "Feedback"). Such delays on the side of the Customer can seriously impair the SEO Services and negatively affect results. Should Customer fail to provide the required Feedback within one (1) month from the request, Power-eCommerce may, at its sole discretion, terminate the SEO Services. No refunds will be provided for Services (including set up fees) that have been terminated hereunder or otherwise affected by Customer delays
Power-eCommerce is not liable for any loss of ranking or traffic. Further Power-eCommerce is not liable for any other changes or issues caused by other search engine optimization companies or by the Customer or any third party. Customer agrees to notify Power-eCommerce promptly if customer engages in any other SEO efforts or partners and/or hires another search engine optimization company during this contract term. Power-eCommerce does not guarantee any increase in sales. Power-eCommerce also does not guarantee any exact placement in any search engines.
Subject to Section 9 (Fees and Payment), Customer will be charged a monthly recurring fee each month of the SEO Service plan purchased. For example, if Customer purchases a 6 month SEO Service plan, Customer will be charged in 6 monthly increments -at the beginning of the billing cycle for each month of the 6 month term. Customer understands that Power-eCommerce incurs expense and has tailored the pricing of such plans based on the term commitment. As such, Customer agrees that the purchase of a particular plan is a non-cancelable commitment for the entire plan term (i.e. 6 months, 12 months, etc.) irrespective of how the plan is charged. At the end of the term commitment, Power-eCommerce will continue to provide the SEO Services on a month to month basis unless terminated by Customer. Should Customer wish to terminate the SEO Services prior to the end of the plan term, Customer agrees to pay an early termination fee equal to 50% of the amounts due for the remainder of the plan term, such fee will be due and payable upon termination.
As part of the SEO Services, Power-eCommerce may include additional services (e.g. PPC or Feeds) subject to the terms and conditions herein.
Abuse, Trademark, Copyright Policies
Whether you are the holder of a trademark, service mark, or copyright, Power-eCommerce is committed to helping you protect your legal rights. Therefore, we have established the following policies for considering trademark and/or copyright infringement claims.
Domain Name Dispute Claims
Please refer to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "UDRP") if you have a concern or dispute concerning a registered domain name. The UDRP covers domain names disputes; this policy specifically excludes domain name disputes.
Copyright and Trademark Claims
1.To notify Power-eCommerce that there has been a copyright or trademark violation, please follow the specific instructions in (A) for filing a trademark claim, or (B) filing a copyright complaint.
2.If you are responding to a complaint of infringement, you will need to follow our Counter Notification policy in (C). Trademark Claims
1. Please understand Power-eCommerce is not in a position to mediate trademark disputes between Customers and trademark owners. As a result, we strongly encourage trademark owners to resolve their disputes directly with the Customer who posted the content in question. Contacting the Customer may allow for a quicker resolution to your claim in a way that is beneficial to both the owner and the Customer.
2. If you (the "Complaining Party") are unable to reach a resolution with the Customer in question and would like to submit a trademark claim for violation of a mark on which you hold a valid, registered trademark or service mark (registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or, for foreign marks, registered with the appropriate intellectual property organization of your country; state registrations are not considered valid for these purposes), Power-eCommerce requests that the Complaining Party substantiate such claim by providing the following information via email to Support@Power-eCommerce.com. The words "Trademark Claim" should appear in the subject line.
To be considered effective, a notification of a claimed trademark violation must include the following information:
The trademark, service mark, trade dress, name, or other indicia of origin ("mark") that is claimed to be infringed, including registration number.
The jurisdiction or geographical area to which the mark applies.
The name, post office address and telephone number of the owner of the mark identified above.
The goods and/or services covered by or offered under the mark identified above.
The date of first use of the mark identified above.
The date of first use in interstate commerce of the mark identified above.
A description of the manner in which the Complaining Party believes its mark is being infringed upon.
Sufficient evidence that the owner of the website that is claimed to be infringing is a Power-eCommerce customer.
The precise location of the infringing mark, including electronic mail address, etc.
. A good faith signed certification, signed under penalty of perjury, stating that you:
1. 1. Have a good faith belief that the use of the trademarks described within the complaint are not authorized by the trademark owner or its agent, nor is such use otherwise defensible or permissible under law.
2. 2. You represent that the information in the complaint is true and correct and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the trademark owner.
3. Upon receipt of the appropriate information identified in Section 1 above, for trademark claims, Power-eCommerce will initiate an investigation. While Power-eCommerce is investigating the claim, Power-eCommerce, at its sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, notify the posting party it will lock down the posting party's domain name(s), redirect the posting party's DNS, forward the Complaining Party's written notification to the posting party, and/or if it is solely stored on a Power-eCommerce server, temporarily remove or deny access to the challenged material.
4. If Power-eCommerce concludes that the Complaining Party has raised a legitimate trademark claim, it may, at its sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, continue to suspend the posting party's Power-eCommerce account and/or if it is solely stored on a Power-eCommerce server, deny access to the challenged material. If Power-eCommerce concludes that the Complaining Party has not raised a legitimate claim or if it is not clear whether the Complaining Party has raised a legitimate claim, Power-eCommerce will restore access to the challenged material subject to a valid court order.
5. The Complaining Party should understand that Power-eCommerce, an ICANN accredited registrar, and its customers are bound by the UDRP. Nothing in this Policy should be construed to supersede the UDRP, nor the obligation of Power-eCommerce and its customers to abide by it in the context of domain name disputes.
Copyright Claims

If the Complaining Party would like to submit a copyright claim for material on which you hold a bona fide copyright, Power-eCommerce requests that the Complaining Party substantiate such claim by providing Power-eCommerce with the following information via email to support@Power-eCommerce.com. The words "Copyright Claim" should appear in the subject line. A copyright claim can also be submitted by mail to: Copyright Agent, Power-eCommerce 4920 Atlanta Hwy Suite 138 Alpharetta GA 30004.
To be considered effective, a notification of a claimed copyright infringement must be provided to Power-eCommerce and must include the following information:
i. An electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive copyright that has allegedly been infringed.
ii. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on that site.

v. A statement that the Complaining Party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
vi. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complaining Party is the owner, or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. For Copyright Claims, upon receipt of appropriate notification from the Complaining Party, pursuant to Section 1 of Copyright Claims above, Power-eCommerce will remove or disable access to the material that is claimed to be infringing.
3. If the Complaining Party provides Power-eCommerce with appropriate notification, pursuant to Section 1 of Copyright Claims above, including information reasonably sufficient to permit Power-eCommerce to locate and remove or disable the material in question, or includes information concerning repeat infringement, then Power-eCommerce will forward the Complaining Party's written notification to such alleged Infringer and shall take reasonable steps promptly to notify the Infringer that it has removed or disabled access to the material.

2. Upon receipt of a Counter Notification as described in Section 1 above, Power-eCommerce shall promptly provide the Complaining Party with a copy of the Counter Notification, and inform such Party that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) business days. Power-eCommerce will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it in not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Power-eCommerce first receives notice from the Complaining Party that such Complaining Party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the Infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Power-eCommerce's system or network.
Repeat Infringers
It is Power-eCommerce's policy to provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of Power-eCommerce customers and account holders who repeatedly violate this policy or are repeat infringers of copyrighted works, trademarks or any other intellectual property.

Acceptable Use Policy
In order to maintain our system integrity and resources we expect our customers to act responsibly. When you use any Power-eCommerce services, in any form, you automatically agree to the following Conditions.
Power-eCommerce 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. In short we may decline Services because of:
Adult Material (as described below)
Illegal content
Use of the Services in a manner in which it was not intended
Use of the Services in a manner which does not conform to Power-eCommerce's values
Power-eCommerce reserves the right to place hyperlinks to "http://www.Power-eCommerce.com" at the bottom/footer of your website.
Adult Material Policy
Power-eCommerce maintains a strict "No Adult Material Policy". Any presentation of material that is sexual, pornographic or obscene in nature, as determined in Power-eCommerce's sole discretion, will not be allowed. By way of example and not limitation, "Adult Material" includes any of the following:
1.Any photos or videos showing frontal nudity on either men or women.
2.Any photos or videos showing any sexually explicit nudity.
3.Any audio clips or text containing sexually explicit material.
4.Any explicit adult toys such as vibrators, etc.
5.Any sites with direct links to other sites containing such material.
6.Any site engaged in the sale of sexually explicit items.
If your site contains material that you are unsure about, please let us know before placing the order.
Transfer Policy
Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce store or other Services. Power-eCommerce 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, Power-eCommerce will comply with any court order or settlement agreement.
To transfer ownership of one of your Power-eCommerce 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 Power-eCommerce account as part of the sales agreement. Once completed, please fax the form to 678-890-5801, marked to the attention of Account Services.
Then the new owner must visit our website and purchase a separate store order. In the comments section of the form, write, "Ownership transfer request; please mirror www._______.com" (the setup fee will not be waived). If the new owner intends to use the domain name configured on the original account, we will have to cancel the original account so that we can set up the new account. If the new Owner intends to use a new domain name, we will keep the original account active and perform the mirror, in which case you would need to contact Support@power-ecommerce.com the online cancellation form for your account once the data has been copied for the new Owner.
If you have Power-eCommerce merchant services, you will not be able to transfer ownership of that account to the new Owner. The new Owner may sign up for one at //www.Power-eCommerce.com/. The original merchant service account will have to be manually canceled by Customer by visiting http://admin.Power-eCommerce.com and submitting a ticket to "merchant services support."
In addition, email cannot be transferred along with store data. We recommend that you locally archive any sensitive email data prior to requesting transfer. If you have questions about how to do so, please contact Technical Support.
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 Power-eCommerce store.
