requested and continue
until terminated in accordance with
this Agreement. "Ecom Management" may terminate service to Client for any reason or
no reason with 15 days notice
to Client. Client may terminate subscription to service at any time, however
Client's account is bound to
the current subscription term and all fees accrued will be due at termination due to the
nature of this business.

one or more of the following
events:
(1) the other party fails to pay when due any amounts required to be
paid under this Agreement;
(2) the
other party breaches any material term or provision of this Agreement (other

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.
"Ecom Management" may terminate this Agreement:
(1) if the Services are prohibited by
applicable law, or become
impractical or unfeasible for any technical, legal or regulatory reason, by
giving Client as much prior notice as
reasonably practicable or
(2) immediately by giving written notice to Client,
if "Ecom Management" determines in
good faith that Client’s use of the Client Web site or the Client 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.
Parties shall each remain liable to the
other for any indebtedness or other liability theretofore arising under this
Agreement even if agreement is

"Ecom Management" may be entitled.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating

federal court located in King county, Washington, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to
the exclusive jurisdiction of such

it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or
that any such suit, action or
proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.
Mandatory Arbitration.
Notwithstanding Section above, each party agrees that any
dispute between the parties
arising out of this Agreement or in any manner relating to the Services must be
submitted by the parties to
arbitration, such as a
recognized provider of arbitration
services agreed upon by both parties, before a single arbitrator, appointed in
accordance with such rules. Any such
arbitrator must render a reasoned opinion in writing only where the amount in

upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any such

Agreement.
Entire Agreement; Amendments.
This Agreement, including documents incorporated
herein by reference,
supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations and agreements between the
parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and this Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement
between the parties with respect to
the matters covered hereby. In case of a conflict between this Agreement and any
purchase order, service order,
work order, confirmation, correspondence or other communication of Client or
"Ecom Management", the terms and
conditions of this Agreement shall control. No additional terms or conditions
relating to the subject matter of this
Agreement shall be effective unless approved in writing by any authorized
representative of Client and "Ecom Management". This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by another agreement

Severability.
All rights and restrictions contained in this Agreement may be
exercised and shall be applicable and
binding only to the extent that they do not violate any applicable laws and are
intended to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Agreement illegal, invalid or
unenforceable. If any provision or portion of
any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions
or portions thereof shall constitute their
agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining
provisions or portions thereof shall
remain in full force and effect.
Notices.
All notices and demands required or contemplated hereunder by one party
to the other shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly made and given upon date of delivery if

facsimile number for purposes of this Agreement by notice in writing to the
other party as provided herein. "Ecom Management" may give written notice to
Client via e-mail to the Client’s e-mail
address as maintained in "Ecom Management's" billing records.
Waiver.
No failure or delay by any party hereto to exercise any right or remedy
hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy by any
party preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No express waiver
or assent by any party hereto to
any breach of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of or an assent to any
succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition
hereof.
Assignment; Successors.
Client may not assign or transfer this Agreement, or
any of its rights or obligations
hereunder, without the prior written consent of "Ecom Management". Any attempted
assignment in violation of the
foregoing provision shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.
"Ecom Management" may assign its rights
and obligations under this Agreement, and may engage subcontractors or agents in
performing its duties and
exercising its rights hereunder, without the consent of Client. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.
Limitation of Actions.
No action, regardless of form, arising by reason of or in
connection with this Agreement may
be brought by either party more than two years after the cause of action has
arisen.
Counterparts.
If this Agreement is signed manually, it may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. If this
Agreement is signed electronically, "Ecom Management’s" records of such execution
shall be presumed accurate unless
proven otherwise.
Force Majeure.
Neither party is liable for any default or delay in the
performance of any of its obligations under this
Agreement (other than failure to make payments when due) if such default or
delay is caused, directly or indirectly,
by forces beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation,
fire, flood, acts of God, labor
disputes, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, interruptions of transportation
or communications, supply shortages
or the failure of any third party to perform any commitment relative to the
production or delivery of any equipment or
material required for such party to perform its obligations hereunder.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, nothing in this Agreement
is intended, nor shall anything herein be construed to confer any rights, legal
or equitable, in any Person other than
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client
acknowledges and agrees that Microsoft, and any supplier of third-party supplier
that is identified as a third-party
beneficiary in the Service Description, is an intended third-party beneficiary
of the provisions set forth in this
Agreement as they relate specifically to its products or services and shall have
the right to enforce directly the
terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to its products or services
against Client as if it were a
party to this Agreement.

Client may not export, re-export, transfer or make
available, whether directly or
indirectly, any regulated item or information to anyone outside the United
