5. FEES

Hosting Fee
Client shall pay to WVD a monthly hosting fee, in the current amount listed on the WVD Web site. These hosting fees are due on a quarterly basis for standard Web hosting and on a monthly basis for e-commerce Web hosting. Hosting fees are due on the first day of the period being hosted. For example hosting for January, February, and March on a standard Web hosting plan would be due on January the first. Hosting for January on an e-commerce Web hosting plan would be due on January the first.

Client may pay hosting fees for a year in advance.

Level 3 Hosting Fee
For the Level 3 hosting plan, WVD will host, design, develop, update, and market the client's online store website at a Web hosting fee of 4% of the website's monthly sales. There is no risk to the client; if the website does not make any sales the client does not pay WVD any hosting fees. WVD reserves the right to change the hosting fee percentage at any time to adjust for inflation, website traffic increase, or any other factor. There are no guaranties or warranties of any kind, and the client or WVD can cancel this Level 3 hosting plan agreement at any time for any reason.

All fees are cumulative and payable in U.S. dollars. All fees are non-refundable. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). In the event of any failure by Client to make payment, Client shall be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by WVD, in collecting such amounts. WVD may, upon 30 days prior notice to Client, alter its fees under the Service Agreement.

WVD may, in its sole discretion, interrupt accessibility to the Client's Web site or cancel the Client's hosting account if the account balance is past due.

12. GENERAL

The Service Agreement and the relationship between Client and WVD shall be governed by the laws of the state of North Carolina without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Client and WVD agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the State of North Carolina for Mecklenburg County or the United States District Court for the state of North Carolina. WVD's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Service Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Service Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties intentions as reflected in the provision, and agree that the other provisions of the Service Agreement remain in full force and effect. Client agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Service Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.
