Terms of Service

 

ValleyWebsites is a division of KGI Enterprises.  This is an agreement between you and KGI Enterprises.  This agreement explains the basis upon which the website account, web hosting service, domain registration and related transactions between you and KGI Enterprises will take place and our responsibilities toward each other.  To complete the registration process, you must acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here.   

By entering into this agreement, in addition to transactions entered into by you on your behalf, you also agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement for transactions entered into on your behalf by anyone acting as your Agent.  You also agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement for transactions entered into by anyone who uses the account you've established with KGI Enterprises whether or not the transactions were in your behalf.

You agree and acknowledge that this Agreement as well as any additional rules and policies, together with any modifications of the same, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and KGI Enterprises concerning your use of the services provided to you by KGI Enterprises and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications.

You acknowledge that KGI Enterprises' acceptance of any application made by you for services provided by KGI Enterprises will take place at KGI Enterprises’ offices located in Cathedral City, California. 


1. FEES

In consideration for the web site services and products ("services") purchased by you and provided to you by KGI Enterprises, you agree to pay KGI Enterprises at the time you order services your 1st month’s fee for the services you have selected.  You also agree to have subsequent monthly fees charged to your credit card every 30 days for the upcoming 30 days of service.  Such fees will be charged until you cancel your services per the Cancellation process as stated in this agreement.  For purposes of this agreement, a month is defined as 30 days.

Although we have never raised our fees and a fee increase is not anticipated, if an increase in fees ever does become necessary, KGI Enterprises agrees to provide a full 60 day notice prior to any rate change going into effect. 

Service may be interrupted on accounts that are 10 days past due.  If an account is 20 days past due, KGI Enterprises reserves the right to terminate services.  

2.   TERM OF AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS 

The term of this agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as you maintain your website account with us.  You agree that KGI Enterprises may modify this agreement from time to time without prior notice.  KGI Enterprises may also discontinue services it provides under this agreement and/or assign, sell or transfer rights to provide services covered under this agreement to a third party.   You agree to be bound by any changes KGI Enterprises may reasonably make to this agreement when such changes become effective.  Should you elect not to be bound by these changes you may cancel your services with KGI Enterprises.  In such a case, you will not receive a refund for any fees you may have paid to KGI Enterprises or for any time you have remaining on your billing term.  

You agree that KGI Enterprises will not be bound by any representations made by third parties who you may use to purchase services from KGI Enterprises and that any statements whether of a specific or general nature, which may be posted on a KGI Enterprises web site or contained in KGI Enterprises’ promotional materials, will not bind KGI Enterprises.

You authorize KGI Enterprises to register or transfer a domain name on your behalf.  You agree that KGI Enterprises cannot guarantee that you will receive the domain name you have requested on your order, even if an inquiry indicates that the domain name is available since KGI Enterprises cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name which you are seeking to register is simultaneously being sought by a third party or whether there are inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration databases, including the various WHOIS databases.  You acknowledge and agree that KGI Enterprises may choose to reject your application for a domain name for any reason including but not limited to rejection due to a request for registration of a prohibited domain name. 

By applying for a domain name and by asking us to maintain a requested domain name as part of your account with us you hereby represent and warrant to us that to your knowledge the registration of the domain name will not and does not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of a third party.  You agree and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine whether the domain registration infringes or violates someone else’s rights.

You agree that if KGI Enterprises is notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative or judicial body, regarding a domain name registered for your account by KGI Enterprises that KGI Enterprises, in its sole discretion, may take whatever action KGI Enterprises deems necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the domain name including termination of rights to, and release of, the domain name.  You agree that KGI Enterprises in its sole discretion may also take whatever action KGI Enterprises deems necessary to comply with the actions or requirements of a governmental, administrative or judicial body.  You agree to hold KGI Enterprises harmless for any action taken by KGI Enterprises related to the registration of or termination of the domain name you have asked us to register and we maintain for your account.

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 Enterprises will notify you via email, cancel your service and refund only the current month's service fee.   

As part of your monthly service fee, you are allowed a specific number of hours of 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.

If you are not 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 online support request form in the Customer Support Area of the Valley Websites website.  Once we receive your request we will confirm that we have received it and will refund your initial web site service fee.  For Supreme Account users, payment made on your behalf for Google Ad Costs are not refundable. If you do not receive confirmation of receipt from us, it is your responsibility to make sure that we receive your request.

If you invoke the money back guarantee per the terms of this Agreement and would like the domain name we have registered on your behalf or transferred to KGI Enterprises for you, you may notify us within 30 days of 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.

'"Website account files" are defined as your website, website content, website files, email accounts, email, domain name, Google Adwords package (if ordered) and any other items that may be associated with the website services provided to you by KGI Enterprises or are controlled on your behalf by KGI Enterprises.  Your website account files may be deleted by KGI Enterprises at any time after we receive your cancellation notice.  Once deleted, website account files can not be retrieved.  Website designs are the property of KGI Enterprieses and cannot be transferred to another service provider. 

Once services are canceled, either voluntarily by you or through action taken by KGI Enterprises, you will not have access to your website account files.  You agree to indemnify and hold harmless KGI Enterprises for any and all claims that may arise from cancellation of you account and/or deletion of your website account files.
