In application of article 4 hereof entitled "Customer Information and Acceptance"; this order receipt shall be deemed as implicitly received by the Customer.
With regard to any territoriality issue that may arise hereunder, the

shall be the place where the offer acceptation is received and the Service

NXTHOST expressly reiterates that for the purpose hereunder, the Customer is the natural or legal person in whose name the Customer Account is registered. Any order placed via the Customer Account will be invoiced to the holder of such Customer Account. If the Customer is acting on behalf of a Principal, the Customer remains nonetheless the sole party responsible for such Principal compliance with the Contractual Terms as well as for the payment of any invoice pertaining to any order the Customer may have placed.
4. Customer information and acceptance
4.1.
By submitting an Order Form, the Customer acknowledges having verified the
suitability of the Service to their need and having received all advice and
information from NXTHOST to make an informed decision.
4.2.
When placing their first order the Customer must create a Customer Account
on the NXTHOST Website and provide certain details allowing them to be
identified, such as: their name, email address, postal address and a phone
number where the Customer is reachable (the "Customer Details"). The
Customer undertakes in this respect to provide valid, accurate and complete
details and to keep them up-to-date at all times.
4.3.
In this regard, the Customer is informed that, to be allowed to use their
Customer Account, all or part of the Customer Details will have to be
validated. NXTHOST shall proceed to the validation of the Customer Details
by any means NXTHOST sees fit and each time NXTHOST will deem it necessary
(the "Validation").
4.4.
The Customer agrees that regular communication with NXTHOST is essential to
the Customer's proper use, including a passive use of the Services.
Accordingly, the Customer must regularly and not less than once per month
visit the NXTHOST Website and more specifically log in under their NXTHOST
Account to take cognisance of its status and read any message NXTHOST may
have left. Any message posted in the Customer Account to which the Customer
fails to reply within one (1) month following its posting shall be deemed
to have been read and accepted by the Customer in regard to any possible
subsequent effect.
4.5.
By accepting the General Terms and Conditions, the Customer agrees that all

based on a login and password that the Customer has received when creating
their Customer Account (the "Credentials"). Any access to and use of the
Customer Account will require the entry of the Credentials.
The customer can change the given login and password with preferential ones and they will constitute the new Credentials.
5.2.
The Credentials are personal and confidential and as such, the Customer
shall never disclose them to a third party. In case of theft or loss of the
Credentials or if the Customer has reason to believe that their Credentials
have been disclosed to a third party, the Customer must modify them without
delay.
5.3.
The Customer is expressly advised that they shall bear sole responsibility
for the storing and retention of their Credentials.

Credentials.
6. Term and renewal of the Services
6.1.
Each Service for which payment has been duly received by NXTHOST will be
provided to the Customer for the term selected by the Customer in their
Order Form. Any Service not renewed before the end of its term will be
automatically cancelled pursuant to the terms applicable to such Service.
6.2.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, in order to avoid involuntary Service
terminations, NXTHOST allows the Customer to activate in their Customer
Account an automated renewal option for each Service they have subscribed
to.
If this option is activated, NXTHOST will attempt to initiate the renewal
of the applicable Service before its expiration date and for the term
selected by the Customer, or failing that, for the minimum term allowed for
each Service. This automated renewal functionality is however dependent on
the association of a valid Method of Payment (as set specified in the
Financial Information Annex) with the Customer Account prior to the day of
the renewal attempt.
The Customer understands and accepts that the fees applicable to the
Service on the date of the automated renewal may differ from those of the
Customer's initial order. It is the Customer's sole obligation to regularly
visit the NXTHOST Website to take cognisance of any fee evolution and to
activate or deactivate the automated renewal option for each of their
Service subscriptions. The Customer will be deemed to have accepted the fee
modification if this option is not deactivated on the day of the automated
renewal attempt. In the event the Payment Method registered in the Customer
Account will not allow automated renewal to proceed, NXTHOST will inform
the Customer by email that they must instigate a manual renewal of their
Service subscription.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that they bear sole responsibility
for the association of a valid Method of Payment with their Customer
Account and that NXTHOST cannot be held responsible for the lack of such an
association.
6.3.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Customer shall be able to renew the
term of each of the Services they have subscribed to by manually submitting
an Order Form for their renewal via the Customer Account.
6.4.
In any event, NXTHOST shall notify the Customer several times of the
expiration of their Service subscriptions by sending emails to the email
address registered as part of the Customer Details. NXTHOST cannot be held
responsible in the event the Customer fails to proceed to the renewal of
their Service or in the event that the Customer Details are or have become
inaccurate and the Customer does not receive NXTHOST expiration notices.
The Customer will bear sole responsibility for the renewal of their Service
subscription(s).
7. NXTHOST rights and obligations
7.1.
NXTHOST retains the right to modify the Contractual Terms at any time. In
this case, NXTHOST shall inform the Customer of such modifications via the
NXTHOST Website or by displaying a message in the Customer Account. If the
Customer disagrees with any fundamental modification to the Contractual
Terms, the Customer may terminate the Agreement within a month following
the displaying of the message announcing the fundamental modification. Any
termination based on these grounds shall be operated in accordance with the
terms of article 14 hereof. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that by
using the Services after the one month delay has lapsed; the Customer
accepts and undertakes to abide by the amended Contractual Terms.
7.2.
NXTHOST also retains the right to reduce or expand its offered Services.
NXTHOST shall inform the Customer of any such offering modification via the
NXTHOST Website or by displaying a message in the Customer Account and/or
by sending an email to the email address registered as part of the Customer
Details. Thus NXTHOST retains the right to discontinue or suspend the
provision of any Service at any time. The refund terms specified in article
9.6 hereof shall apply in such a case.
7.3.
NXTHOST also retains the right to modify the Services' applicable fees, to
take into account for example but not limited to, any price modifications
imposed by the Providers, any currency exchange rate evolution or any
additional tax levies. It is the Customer's sole obligation to remain
informed of any Service fee evolution by regularly visiting the NXTHOST
Website.
7.4.
Lastly, NXTHOST retains the right to decline any Order Form on which
objects appear as blatantly defamatory, contrary to morals and public order
or infringing upon any provision of the Contractual Terms, in particular
those of article 10.3 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, NXTHOST has no obligation to monitor and
control the content of the Customer Order Form and furthermore is in no
position to assess the consequences of the customisation of the Service
with regards to specific national statutes, Policies and more generally
with regards to any applicable regulation. Additionally, NXTHOST has no
means to know in advance which kind of use the Customer intends to make of
the Service. Therefore NXTHOST cannot be held responsible for the use of
the Service by the Customer and its possible consequences. In particular,
NXTHOST does not warrant that the customisation of the Service made by the
Customer - for example the choice of the Domain Name or the displaying of
the Content on the Customer's website - will not infringe upon the rights
of third parties.
7.5.
NXTHOST undertakes to ensure its best efforts to transmit, within a timely
manner, to the applicable Provider any Service request embodied in an Order
Form submitted by the Customer pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that NXTHOST disclaims all express
and implied warranties regarding the successful conclusion of the Customer
order. In the event the Provider denies or is unable to execute the
Customer's order, NXTHOST will inform the Customer of this denial or
inability without delay. NXTHOST will, in no event, be held responsible for
any direct or indirect consequences that such denial or inability from the
Provider may have for the Customer. In the event the Order Form is accepted
by the Provider NXTHOST will confirm the treatment of the Customer's order
via email.
7.6.
NXTHOST retains the right to refuse an order, or to limit the amount of
resources of an order. In each case, NXTHOST will announce the customer and
will provide him with a partial or full refund, depending on the case. If
the customer agrees with the resource limitation, NXTHOST will provide the
customer with a partial refund, equal to the price paid for the resources
that were declined. It the customer does not agree with the resource
limitation or the order was fully declined, the customer will be provided
with a full refund.
8. Prices
8.1.
The up-to-date and in effect prices are those displayed on the NXTHOST
Website. The prices may be modified pursuant to the terms of article 7.3
hereof. Unless otherwise expressly provided, the prices are in euros, and
exclusive of all taxes which shall be paid by the Customer. Payments under
the Agreement shall be made at NXTHOST registered office and in euros
(EUR). Any additional fee attached to a payment to NXTHOST will be borne by
the Customer. The net amount received by NXTHOST must be strictly equal to
the amount due by the Customer.
8.2.
The main fees for NXTHOST Services shall always be displayed on the NXTHOST
Website. However, NXTHOST retains the right to invoice handling fees if the
Customer's order incurs an additional workload. Such handling services will
be invoiced on an hourly rate of thirty euros (€30) exclusive of tax.
9. Payment
9.1.
Unless expressly agreed by NXTHOST, orders under the Agreement shall be
immediately payable and executed online via the NXTHOST Website by using
one of the Method of Payments accepted by NXTHOST as defined in the annex
entitled "Financial Information". NXTHOST will only activate the Services
in the Customer Account once full payment for the order has been received.
9.2.
Under certain circumstances and at NXTHOST' sole and entire discretion,
NXTHOST may accept a differed payment. In the event the Customer is allowed
to benefit from this deferred payment facility, the Customer undertakes to
abide by the specific terms of payment specified on the applicable invoice.
9.3.
The Customer agrees that any invoice for the Services shall be sent
electronically to the Customer via the email address registered as part of
the Customer Details. The Customer may nevertheless request the NXTHOST
Customer Care department be provided with a printed invoice. In such cases
the Customer will be charged an administrative fee for this service.
Considering the email address registered as part as the Customer Details
must be valid, accurate and its content checked on a daily basis, no claim
may be lodged against NXTHOST in case any of the invoices sent to this
email address are not received by the Customer. Furthermore, the Customer
is informed that all invoices issued by NXTHOST for the Services and their
payment status are available in the Customer Account.
9.4.
Any invoice or amount not paid upon falling due will be automatically
subject without formal notice to account suspension until such time as the
outstanding amount is paid in full NXTHOST also retains the right to deny
the Customer any requests for services if the Customer is in debt to
NXTHOST for any reason whatsoever.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that any invoice remaining unpaid
after a period of thirty (30) days following its issuing date will
automatically lead to the cancellation of the related Service(s).
Consequently, such Service will become unavailable without possibility of
reactivation and any data and content related thereto will be deleted.
For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly stated here that the
cancellation of a Service does not release the Customer from their
obligation to pay all applicable fees owed for the provision of such
Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and as far as possible, the Customer may,
providing all outstanding invoices and interest charges as set forth in
article 9.4 hereof have been paid, request the reactivation of the
Service(s). All administrative, technical and other costs arising from the
deactivation and reactivation of the Service(s) shall be borne by the
Customer.
9.6. Refund
By accepting these General Terms and Conditions and submitting a request for a refund (the "Refund"), the Customer expressly agrees to the following Refund terms.
In the event the Customer could not be provided with the Service they ordered, NXTHOST will refund the amount paid by the Customer to their Credit Account. The Customer will then be entitled to request a refund in cash.
The Refund will only be granted after all outstanding NXTHOST invoices have been paid and will always be operated using the same Method of Payment which was used by the Customer to place the related order. Lastly and without regards to the Method of Payment used to proceed to the Refund, NXTHOST will be entitled to charge the Customer an administrative fee amounting to five percent (10%) of the amount to be refunded with a minimum of ten euros (€10).

in particular those set forth by article 4 hereof, or in case of blatant
breach of the terms of articles 10 and 15 and/or any applicable legal or
regulatory provisions, NXTHOST shall be entitled to suspend the whole
Customer Account without prior notice and thus prevent the Customer from
benefiting from the Services without the Customer being entitled to any
compensation. Such suspension may result in the disconnection of the

The Customer Account may also be suspended by NXTHOST during a maintenance
operation of NXTHOST servers or upon request of any competent judiciary or

been brought against NXTHOST in relation with the Customer use of the
Service.
16.3.
Every suspension of Service shall last until its cause has ceased.
16.4.
The Service suspension will in no event suspend the payment obligation of
the Customer and further shall not entitle the Customer to any compensation
from NXTHOST, no matter the direct or indirect consequences of such
suspension (such as a loss of chance, business, income, revenue or
profits).
17. Severability
If any term or other provision of the Contractual Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, all other conditions and provisions of this shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Further, NXTHOST commits to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the original intention of the parties.

19. Force majeure
19.1.
Neither the Customer, nor NXTHOST shall be responsible for any failure or
delay to fulfil their obligations under the Contractual Terms as the result
of an event of force majeure as defined by applicable law or jurisprudence.
The Customer expressly acknowledges that their lack of financial capacity
to pay the fees for the Services provided by NXTHOST will in no event
qualify as a force majeure event.
19.2.
NXTHOST will not be held liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage
resulting from the failure of NXTHOST to fulfil any of its obligation under
those General Terms and Conditions or Specific Terms and Conditions due to
a force majeure event or due to the action of third party (such as a
failure of the public network or network provider or the failure of a
Provider for example).
20. Notification procedure
20.1.
In any case where a third party notifies NXTHOST of its claim against the
Customer customisation and/or use of the Service, NXTHOST shall promptly
notify the Customer of such a claim by sending them a copy of it via the
Customer Details.
In all such instances the third party shall be informed of NXTHOST's
notification to the Customer, keeping in mind that it does not fall within
NXTHOST' jurisdiction to either prejudge the Customer's customisation and /
or use of the Service vis-a-vis the rights of such third party, nor to
suspend or terminate the Service on this basis.
NXTHOST shall be entitled to charge the Customer for any action performed
on the Customer's behalf in connection with a third party claim, insofar as
the Customer fails to acknowledge receipt of the NXTHOST notification in
regard to such a claim, or if NXTHOST finds it necessary to take action in
regard to such a claim such as sending a registered letter and making phone
calls on behalf of the Customer and the complaining third party.
20.2.
NXTHOST reserves the right to disclose the Customer Details, Content,
communication with NXTHOST and more generally, any information regarding
the Service ordered by the Customer, in such a case where such information
has been requested by a competent judiciary and or administrative authority
pursuant to applicable law.
21. Dispute and litigation
Pursuant to the provisions of those General Terms and Conditions, if a dispute arises between the Customer and a third party in regard to the use of the Service, the Customer will be solely responsible for all consequences of this dispute and NXTHOST shall not be involved in such dispute and its settlement in any way.
22. Applicable law and jurisdiction
