1. General Terms and Conditions
1.1. General
Full Partner, LLC offers a comprehensive suite of web based business services, including intranet sharing and collaboration, web site design, management and hosting, and web marketing facilities and services like email broadcasting, autoresponders and affiliate programs. When developing a website and/or marketing project for a client, Full Partner typically outlines two areas of work: 1) Fixed costs. These include fixed bid prices for setting up the various Full Partner Web System features and services you have requested for your Full Partner-powered web site. 2)Estimated costs: These include blocks of hours designated for web site design, consulting, content development and content entry, database management and custom programming of new features. The amount of hours designated reflects Full Partner’s knowledge of the amount of time it will likely take for these areas of work. If additional time is required, Full Partner may, with previous approval of the client, put in additional billable hours.
1.2. Scope of Work
Full Partner agrees to perform set up and hosting of its web based business services for the Client, using Full Partner’s Web Services System software product hosted on its dedicated web and database servers. The Client will gain access to the features of the Web Services System. Full Partner will provide training for the Client’s staff as outlined in the Activities section below. Full Partner will host the Web Services System for the Client for a monthly fee that includes use of the Web Services System technology, technical support, hosting on high speed, secure, reliable, fault-tolerant web and database servers, email accounts and other features of the Web Services System.
1.2. Payments
The Client may pay any applicable monthly fees by placing a valid credit card on file with Full Partner and pre-approving its use for monthly payments. The Client may pay by check if it agrees to pay quarterly or yearly in advance. Full Partner will invoice the Client 30 days in advance of the time period requiring payment, and must receive payment before the beginning of the time period requiring payment. If payments are not received by the beginning of the time period requiring payment, access by the Client to its Web Services System facilities will be temporarily disabled. If payment is not received within 15 days after the beginning of the time period requiring payment, public access to the Client’s web site will disabled. However, all Client’s data and content will be retained until 30 days after the beginning of the time period requiring payment, after which it will be permanently deleted from the Full Partner system if payment has not been made.
2. Web Site Availability Service Level Agreement for Full Partner Web Site System Account Services
2.1. Coverage; Definitions
This Web Site Availability Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to you ("customer") if you have ordered a Full Partner Web Site System account service from Full Partner (the "Services") and your account is current (i.e., not past due) with Full Partner. As used herein, the term "Web Site Availability" means the percentage of a particular month (based on 24-hour days for the number of days in the subject month) that the content of customer's Web site is available for access by third parties via HTTP and HTTPS, as measured by Full Partner.
2.2. Service Level

Full Partner’s goal is to achieve 100% Web Site Availability for all customers.

3. Acceptable Use Policies of the Marketing Services and Website Hosting Services
All of the Client’s content managed through the Full Partner Web Services System’s Intranet, Web Site and Web Marketing facilities remains the property of the Client. All Full Partner Web System features and tools, as well as custom features developed at the Client’s request and/or expense, remain the sole property of Full Partner unless specifically agreed to otherwise in writing between the Client and Full Partner.
3.1 DMCA Policy
The Client agrees to use the Full Partner services in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf. The Client agrees to hold Full Partner totally harmless in the event any content is deemed to be in violation of the DMCA of 1998. Furthermore, Client agrees to reimburse Full Partner for all costs, including but not limited to Attorney Fees, Fines, and research and investigation costs associated with copyright infringement complaints, regardless of whether such complaints are found to be the legal responsibility of the Client. If Full Partner’s time is required to resolve issues resulting from copyright infringement complaints – that is, notifications at copyrightagent@fullpartner.net by either individuals or organizations who believe their copyright has been violated – then support charges may be incurred for the time needed to resolve these issues.
3.2. Full Partner Anti-Spam Policy
Full Partner has a no tolerance spam policy. Full Partner’s customer support actively monitors large import lists and emails going to a large number of subscribers. Any customer found to be using Full Partner for spam will be immediately cut-off from use of the product. If you know of or suspect any violators, please notify us immediately at abuse@fullpartner.com Every email contains a mandatory unsubscribe. If the link is removed or de-activated in any way, Full Partner will terminate the customer's account.
What is Spam? Spam is unsolicited email also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email). By sending email to only to those who have requested to receive it, you are following accepted permission-based email guidelines.
What constitutes consent? The recipient of your email has been clearly and fully notified of the collection and use of his email address and has consented prior to such collection and use. This is often called informed consent.
Isn't there a law against sending Spam?
The federal anti-spam law went into effect on January 1st, 2004 and preempts all state laws. While this new law will not stop spam, it does make most spam illegal and ultimately less attractive to spammers. The law is specific about requirements to send commercial email and empowers the federal government to enforce the law. The penalties can include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years.
3.3.SPAM Policy
Full Partner specifically prohibits the use of the Full Partner Web Services System to broadcast Unsolicited Bulk/Commercial Email (UCE, or commonly "Spam"). The definition of spam varies from state to state, but is under increasingly focused review by state and federal authorities, with significant penalties in place or under consideration for any one who sends spam, as well as for companies such as Full Partner who willingly transfer it.
Full Partner currently defines spam as any email with marketing content broadcast to multiple recipients who 1) have not had any previous communications with the sender, 2) have not given sender permission to send this email, and/or 3) have specifically request to NOT receive this email. Use of the Full Partner Web Services System to send out spam can result in fines to the Client as well as termination of their account with Full Partner. This strong policy is needed to protect both Full Partner’s ability to serve it’s clients, as well as to protect the Client’s own ability to do business on the internet. The Client should consult with Full Partner’s staff if it has any questions on this policy and whether any particular email broadcast would be in violation of this policy before sending out the email broadcast.
The Client agrees to hold Full Partner totally harmless in the event any emails sent by the client become the topic of violation of the Can SPAM Act of 2003. Furthermore, Client agrees to reimburse Full Partner for all costs, including but not limited to Attorney Fees, Fines, and research and investigation costs associated with abuse complaints, regardless of whether such complaints are found to be the legal responsibility of the Client. If Full Partner’s time is required to resolve issues resulting from abuse complaints – that is, notifications at abuse@fullpartner.com by either individuals or organizations who feel they have received email that they did not solicit – then support charges may be incurred for the time needed to resolve these issues.(It is Full Partner’s experience that emails broadcast to legitimate opt-in email lists never generate complaints of this type, while emails sent as spam to non-opt-in lists may generate complaints.)
4. Technical Support for Questions and Answers
Technical Support is for questions and answers to help the Client to become proficient and self-sufficient in use of system. This support is specifically limited to assistance and training in the use of the Full Partner Web System for the Client’s employees, and does not include Custom Programming, Content Management, Data Imports, Webmaster Services or assistance or support for customers or visitors to the Client’s web site. Unused hours or incidents of support are not cumulative from month to month and may not be transferred to any other purpose. Client may not contract out Full Partner employees away from Full Partner for work on client’s website.
