In connection with any Hosting Services, 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, Terranet Hosting may, without limiting its other rights or remedies, assess Customer with additional fees.
In connection with any Hosting Services, if Customer's actual bandwidth usage in any month exceeds the limit, Customer will pay Terranet Hosting such additional fees as may be specified in the Service Description.
Customer will pay to Terranet Hosting the Service Fees in the manner set forth in the Order. Terranet Hosting may increase the Service Fees (i) in the manner permitted in the Service Description and (ii) at any time on or after expiration of the Initial Term by providing ten (10) days prior written notice thereof to Customer. The Service Fees do not include any applicable sales, use, revenue, excise or other taxes imposed by any taxing authority with respect to the Services or any software provided hereunder (excluding any tax on Terranet Hosting's net income). All such taxes will be added to Terranet Hosting'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. Unless otherwise specified, invoices for the Service Fees and related charges shall be due and payable within 30 days after the date of the invoice. Any amounts payable to Terranet Hosting 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 Terranet Hosting collects any payment due at law or through an attorney / lawyer at law or under advice there from or through a collection agency, Customer will pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys' / lawyer's fees. If any check is returned for insufficient funds, Terranet Hosting may impose a processing charge of $10.
Hosting Services will commence on the Effective Date indicated in the Order and continue for the duration of the Initial Term. Thereafter, the Order will automatically renew for successive periods (i) of twelve months (with respect to Non-Prepaid Plans) or (ii) as specified in the Service Description (with respect to Prepaid Plans) unless the Order is earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, or either party gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to expiration of the then-current term.
Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) the other party fails to pay when due any amounts required to be paid under this Agreement; (ii) the other party 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 the non-breaching party gives written notice thereof to the breaching party; or (iii) the other party 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.
Terranet Hosting may terminate this Agreement (i) if the Services are prohibited by applicable law, or become impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or regulatory reason, by giving Customer as much prior notice as reasonably practicable or (ii) immediately if Terranet Hosting determines in good faith that Customer's use of the Customer Web site or the Customer Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy.
Upon termination of this Agreement for any cause or reason whatsoever, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. The provisions of Sections 3(d), 3(e), 4, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 14 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 parties shall each remain liable to the other for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore arising under this Agreement.

With respect to Non-Prepaid Plans, within 30 days after the termination of this Agreement, Customer will pay the Termination Charge to Terranet Hosting unless (i) Terranet Hosting terminated the Order under Section 3(c) or (ii) Customer terminated the Order under Section 3(b). With respect to Prepaid Plans, Customer will pay the Termination Charge as provided in the Service Description. The parties agree that the Termination Charge constitutes consideration for Terranet Hosting's time, effort and expense in preparing and reserving the capacity to perform its obligations hereunder, as actual damages are difficult to ascertain. If Customer terminates the Order in accordance with Section 3(b), or if Terranet Hosting terminates the Order under Sections 3(c)(i) or 12(c), Terranet Hosting shall return to Customer, and Customer shall accept, as Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for Terranet Hosting's breach of the Order, any Service Fees paid in advance by Customer hereunder attributable to Services not yet rendered as of the date of termination.
