Terms Of Service

Purpose

These Terms of Service ("TOS") are a contract between you, or the entity on whose behalf you are executing this agreement ("you" or "your"), and NerdyTechs. ("NerdyTechs", "we", "us", or "our"). By corresponding with us, browsing our web properties, or using our Services, you agree to abide by these TOS, our Acceptable Use Policy, our Support Policy, our Refund & Billing Policy, our Privacy Policy, our Server Maintenance Policy, and our DMCA Policy, each of which is integrated into the TOS by reference (together, the "Policies"). These TOS may be modified from time-to-time and, by continuing to use our Services, you agree to be bound by the modifications.

2. Customers

While we facilitate your business on the Internet, we are an independent contractor. We only have control of the services we provide directly and are not liable for your actions, the actions of third party service providers, or the actions of individuals who use your products and services ("End Users").

Services

NerdyTechs provides a number of services to its customers, which are collectively referred to in these TOS as the "Services". Regardless of whether you pay for a Service or it is provided as part of a package or for free, any Service you request or allow to be provided by NerdyTechs is included as part of the "Services" we refer to in these TOS and the Policies. All Services are subject to each of our Policies. Services may also be provided by third parties and their terms of service or use that may contain additional or different terms will also apply to your use of their services. We may change the specifications or details of the Services at any time but we have no obligation to change the Services.

Services Offer. NerdyTechs offers a number of different services, including:

Terms Specific to Domain Name Services

We resell domain names. When you apply to register a domain name, your request is transmitted to eNom (www.eNom.com). By using our Domain Name Services, you agree to be bound by eNom's domain name registration policies and procedures. Because of the mechanics of domain name registration, we cannot guarantee that your domain name will be registered. After registration, it is your responsibility to ensure your domain name does not lapse, for whatever reason, and we are not responsible for any lapse or any damages caused by any lapse.

It is your sole responsibility to fully investigate and ensure that the domain name you register does not infringe on the legal rights of others. We do not check to see whether a domain name you register or use infringes on the legal rights of any third party and we suggest you seek advice of legal counsel before registering any domain.

Terms That Apply to All Hosting Services

In the event you require more bandwidth than you have purchased, your account may be suspended until the next period, you may purchase additional bandwidth by upgrading your account, your account may be terminated for a violation of the terms of the package you purchased, or we may charge you an additional fee for the overage, in our sole discretion.

We will provide, as part of the Service cost, the number of primary IP addresses included in the plan you select. You may request additional IP addresses for an additional fee. If we need to change one of your assigned IP addresses we will notify you of the change by email.
