store does not constitute notice of cancellation. We have no
way of knowing if you deletion is temporary or long lasting. All services
automatically renew on either a monthly or quarterly term upon
expiration unless prior written notice is delivered by fax or US
Mail by our office at least 7 calendar days prior to the date of
renewal. If you cancel in the middle of a month within 7 days
of the last day of the month, your services will conclude at the
end of the month. If you cancel your services prior to 7 days
of the beginning of the month, your service will terminate at the
end of the next months service period. If you have pre-paid services for a
quarter, any advance payments up to the cancellation month will be refunded
to you. If you choose to downgrade services, the same 7 day
notice and credit procedure is applicable inorder to allow us the proper
accounting time to make the changes.

attorney fees and any other reasonable fees required to enforce and

the pro-rata fees for the continuous duration of such downtime;
provided that all such credits will not exceed an aggregate maximum
credit of bandwidth fees otherwise due from customer for one (1)
calendar month for failures in any one (1) calendar month. For
purposes of the foregoing, "unable to transmit and receive" shall
mean sustained packet loss in excess of fifty percent (50%) based on
ComCity measurements. You must notify ComCity within three (3)
business days in writing from the time of any occurance if you
believe you are eligible to receive this credit. You must
include network traceroutes
to demonstrate failures. Failure to comply with this
requirement will forfeit customer's right to receive such a credit.

protecting your own password and also responsible for any
authorized or unauthorized use made with your password.
You will not use or permit anyone to use ComCity’s service to
guess passwords or to access other systems or networks with
authorization. ComCity will fully cooperate with law enforcement
authorities in the detection and prosecution of illegal activity. If
customer loses their password or username, they must request a new
password in writing on company letterhead using our prescribed
procedures so that we may keep this information in confidence.

our business, service, equipment, network, operations, or
reputation resulting from your actions, including but not

Arbitration is more informal and typically less costly than court in that discovery is limited and it doesn't require a judge or a jury.
You and ComCity agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this agreement or with respect to any ComCity product or service, including our website, or our SalesCart software shall be solely resolved by binding arbitration in Round Rock Texas, in Williamson county instead of a court of general or competent jurisdiction.

Arbitration shall be to the relief of only you or ComCity as a single party. You and ComCity both agree that either shall only bring action against one another in the capacity of an Individual, or company, and not as any member of any class action or as a class member with multiple parties. Unless agreement is reached prior to arbitration, arbitration shall not proceed with the consolidation of more than one claim with your claim and should this provision or this clause be found to be illegal, than this entire Arbitration clause shall be deemed unenforceable, null, and void.
