This PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is an agreement between FatCow ("Company" or "we") and you ("Customer" or "you") and applies to all professional services purchased by you (collectively, the "Services") in connection with your website hosted by Company (the "Website").

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. BY PURCHASING THE SERVICES YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE USER AGREEMENT, PRIVACY NOTICE AND OTHER APPLICABLE POLICIES LOCATED AT: http://fatcowhosting.com/legal/legal-useragreement.html.

1. TERM AND TERMINATION

A. Term. The initial term of the Services purchased by you will be for the time period set forth in the confirmation email sent to you when you order the Services (the "Initial Term"). Unless you cancel prior to the end of the Initial Term, the Services will automatically renew on a monthly basis (each a "Renewal Period"). Please note that some Services may require a minimum term commitment as set forth in your confirmation email (the "Minimum Term"). The "Term" of this Agreement shall include the Initial Term, any applicable Minimum Term and any Renewal Periods. Given the nature of the Services (including, for example, website design and marketing services) and the Customer input required (as further described in Sections 3 and 5 below), we cannot guarantee that the Services will be completed by a specific date but we will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services in an efficient and timely manner.

B. Automatic Renewal. To avoid any inadvertent disruption to service, the Services automatically renew. You acknowledge, agree, and authorize us to automatically bill the applicable Fees (as defined in Section 8) and charge your credit card or other payment method on file up to fourteen (14) days prior to the end of each Renewal Period, unless you terminate or cancel the Services prior to such charge. In the event that the Services you purchase include a Minimum Term, upon completion of the Minimum Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for subsequent Renewal Periods.

C. Termination. Subject to Section 8(b) (if applicable), you may terminate or cancel the Services you purchased at any time during the Term by giving Company notice by phone. The cancellation request is subject to Company's verification of account ownership. You are obligated to pay all Fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of any cancellation. Company may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if Customer: (i) fails to pay any Fees due hereunder; (ii) fails to cooperate with Company or hinders Company's ability to perform the Services; or (iii) breaches the terms of this Agreement. Further, a termination of Customer's underlying hosting account will result in the termination of this Agreement. If Customer terminates this Agreement prior to the completion of any applicable Minimum Term, Company may charge Customer an early termination fee as described in Section 8 below.

2. SCOPE OF SERVICES

A. Scope of Work. Company agrees to provide the Services in accordance with the Services descriptions available on the Company's website and the scope outlined in the welcome email sent to you.

B. Content Delivery. You must provide Company with the complete Customer Content for all web pages of the Website within three business (3) days following the date of your onboarding call with our Professional Services team. If you do not submit complete Customer Content by the deadline, Company will use content licensed from third parties to build your Website. Further changes to the Website may be made in accordance with the revision process described in Section 5(D) below.

C. Launch Phase. Upon Company's completion of the initial design of the Website, we will contact you to arrange a call to review and obtain your approval to launch the Website.

F. Copyright to Website. You acknowledge, understand and agree that Company may use third party products and services to design and develop the Website, including, for example, server-side applications, clip art, "back-end" applications, music, stock images, or other licensed copyrighted work (collectively, "Third Party Assets"). You further acknowledge, understand and agree that any Third Party Assets used to design and develop the Website are owned by Company or its licensors and cannot be transferred to you, and are hereby expressly not transferred to you. As between Company and you, all Third Party Assets shall remain the property of Company or its licensors. You are prohibited from removing any metadata from any Third Party Assets and from using any Third Party Assets on a stand-alone basis separate from the Website. Third Party Assets may also be used in the design and development of websites for other Company customers. Company and its licensors expressly retain the right to display graphics and other web design elements of the Website as examples of their work in their respective portfolios.

Certain search engines and directories may offer expedited listing services for a fee. You are responsible for all expedited service fees unless otherwise expressly stated and such fees will only be incurred with your prior approval.

iii. In the event that you have purchased both website design and marketing services from Company, the marketing services will not commence until the website design portion of the Services is completed with the Website launch.

D. Hosting Payments. You must maintain the hosting account(s) connected with the Website in good standing. Any delays by Company in delivering the Services will not be a reason to delay payment for hosting services.

Failure to pay for hosting services may also result in cancellation of the Services without a refund.
