inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration databases,
including the various WHOIS databases. You acknowledge and agree that

not and does not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of a

WEBSITE CREATION AND UPDATES

defined as all website text, and any images you provide us that fit
within the text body of your website. Website content does NOT
include any part of the website design. In case
of disagreement, KGI Enterprises shall be the sole arbiter of
whether an item is considered "website content."
You may provide
customized text to us to use in your website content.
Although KGI
Enterprises makes every effort to ensure customer satisfaction with
all website content changes requested by you and
implemented by KGI Enterprises, there may be times when that may prove
impossible on a more or less continual basis. If your
dissatisfaction occurs on a more or less continual basis in the sole
opinion of KGI Enterprises, KGI
Enterprises may, at it's sole discretion, elect to permanently
discontinue service to your account. In such an instance, KGI

service fee.
As part of your

website changes each month. Changes are made in 15 minute
increments. Website change time does not accrue. If
unused at the end of that particular month, any time left unused is
lost.
KGI Enterprises
reserves the right to restrict website content changes if requested
changes provide a unique and consistent burden to KGI Enterprises
even if you have time remaining on your website changes allotment
for the month. KGI Enterprises will be the sole arbiter of
what represents a unique and consistent burden. If website
content changes are restricted, you will be notified and have the
option of continuing service with the website content change
restrictions or you may elect to discontinue services and we will
refund the current month's web site fee.

satisfied with your web site for any reason, you may request a
refund at any time within 30 days of first signing up for a website
account with KGI Enterprises by submitting a refund request via the

confirm that we have received it and will refund your initial web
site service fee. For Supreme Account users, payment made on

invoking the guarantee that you wish to keep your domain name. We will transfer the domain name to you upon payment of a $15 transfer fee.
9. GOOGLE ADWORDS
If the services plan you
purchase comes with Google Adwords set up and monitoring you acknowledge that
you are NOT guaranteed specific results. We expressly disclaim that you will receive a certain ranking or a minimum level of visitors.
You acknowledge that we do not control or have any influence over Google therefore cannot offer any certainties or guarantees with respect to your Google
Adwords campaign.
We will monitor and optimize your Google
Adwords campaign monthly to the best of our ability. You acknowledge that there are many factors involved with the management of a Google
Adwords campaign and we do not, cannot and will not guarantee that you will get the best ranking possible or for the lowest cost.
You acknowledge that although we try it is possible that we may not target the
best keywords for your business or optimize your ads to the fullest extent
possible.
Purchasers of the Advanced Plan agree to pay Google directly for the actual advertising costs incurred by your Google Adwords campaign. We are only responsible for the
setup, monitoring and optimization of ads for up to 10 keywords that we select. If you choose to add additional ads or keywords to your account we are not responsible for those additions
and such ads MUST be set up within a separate ad campaign. We are no longer responsible for monitoring or optimizing keywords if you make any adjustments including cost per click, ads or other campaign elements to keywords or ads that we are monitoring. A $250 charge will be assessed if such adjustments are made and we agree to continue monitoring your campaign.
When we initially set up your Google Adwords account we will set the initial
budget as $1/day. You acknowledge that after this initial set up, it is
your responsibility to set and monitor your Google Adwords budget.
For Purchasers of the Supreme Plan we will
set up, monitor and optimize Google Adwords ads for up to 25 keywords that we
select. You agree NOT to make ANY changes or adjustments to ads,
keywords, pay per click costs or any other campaign element of your Google
Adwords account. If such changes are made, whether or not said
changes negatively impact our monitoring and optimization of your Adwords
campaign, we reserve the right to terminate our participation in your Google
Adwords campaign and change your monthly services plan to a plan that does not
include the monitoring and optimization of a Google Adwords campaign. A
$250 charge will be assessed if such adjustments are made and we agree to
continue monitoring your Google Adwords campaign for you.
The Supreme Plan includes up to $15 worth of Google
Adwords ads each month. The actual amount spent may be less than $15
depending on the number of users who search for similar businesses in your area,
the cost of the ads, the number of users who click on your ads and other issues
the majority of which are outside our control. If any portion of the
$15 is unused it will NOT be carried over to the following month and refunds
will not be issued for unused ad costs. In some cases the amount
spent during a month may be more than $15. If so, you will NOT be
charged for the overage unless the overage is a result of changes or adjustments
you or a representative made to one or more elements of your Adwords account.
10. GOOGLE SUBMISSION
We agree to submit your website url to Google. You acknowledge that
the Google website submission which comes with each account does NOT
guarantee you a listing in Google nor does it guarantee you a specific ranking,
if listed. You acknowledge that we do not control or have any
influence over Google therefore cannot and do not guarantee you a specific
result, visitors or a listing in the Google search engine. We make no
claim when or if your website will be listed or where it will be ranked.
