the right to terminate your account without prior notice if Zentrifugal becomes
aware of and determines, in its sole discretion, that you are violating any
of the foregoing guidelines.
UNLAWFUL OR PROHIBITED USE
As a condition of your use of the Zentrifugal Service you warrant to Zentrifugal

TERMS OF PAYMENT
You agree to pay Zentrifugal appropriate payment for the services received from
Zentrifugal, in advance of the time period during which such services are provided.
You agree to provide Zentrifugal with current billing and contact information
and authorize Zentrifugal to bill all account and related charges to the credit
card on file. You further agree that until and unless you notify Zentrifugal
of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be
billed on a recurring basis. You agree that prepayments will be billed and charged
automatically, that Zentrifugal may apply the amount due to the provided card
at any time, and will issue absolutely no refunds. If your credit card is denied
for any reason on the first attempt, we will automatically attempt to resubmit
such a card within ten business days of the original attempt. A credit card
resubmission fee of $10.00 will be charged against the account for every time
we attempt resubmission. Should the card be denied again, we may terminate the
account, and the resubmission fees (up to $50.00) will need to be paid before
the account can be reactivated. All files within the account may be deleted
on termination. You may notify us in advance of your next billing cycle your
desire to provide for alternative payment arrangements. Zentrifugal reserves
the right to change prices at any time.

causes beyond the control of Zentrifugal, Zentrifugal is unable to perform in
whole or in part its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, then Zentrifugal
shall be relieved of those obligations to the extent it is so unable to perform
and such inability to perform shall not make Zentrifugal liable to the User.
GOVERNING LAW
New York law shall govern this Agreement, and any dispute arising from the relationship
between the parties to this Agreement, excluding any laws that direct the application
of another jurisdiction's laws. In any litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding
by which one party either seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether
in contract, tort, or both) or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations
under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable attorney
fees, and cost and expenses incurred, subject to the Limitation of Liabilities
clause. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts
of the State of New York or to any Federal Court located within the State of

an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any
claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration shall be conducted
in New York, as the parties to this agreement agree to be governed by the laws
of New York. Either party may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a
court of competent jurisdiction in New York necessary to protect the rights
or property of party pending the completion of arbitration. The prevailing party
from arbitration shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, which shall
be set forth by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered
in any court in the state of New York with jurisdiction. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties shall bear
equally all fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration, and each party shall
bear its own legal expenses, attorneys fees, and costs of all experts and witnesses,
provided, however, the arbitration panel may apportion between the parties,
as said arbitrator may deem equitable, the cost incurred by either party.
Should either party file an action contrary to this provision, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to one thousand ($1000) dollars.
SEVERABILITY
If any provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable
for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

but that by limiting such provision it would become valid or enforceable, then
such provision will be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.

termination, or rescission, namely - warranty, indemnification, liability and
limits thereon, rights and obligations upon and following termination and assignment.
