Web Site Space License Agreement

THIS WEB SITE SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT is entered into this on this date by and between PlatinumFreeHost FREE HOSTING, ("COMPANY") and you (for purposes of this agreement, "YOU" and "YOUR" means you and any entity in which you have an ownership interest, or which has as an ownership interest in you. (Collectively referred to herein as the "PARTIES"). PlatinumFreeHost reserves the right to modify or edit these terms and conditions at any time.

Agreement:
A. You License the Right to a Unlimited Size Web Site With Certain Limitations.
Subject to and conditioned upon COMPANY's retained rights and all other terms and conditions set forth in this AGREEMENT, COMPANY agrees to license to YOU the non-exclusive right to use Unlimited MB (for this agreement, "MB" means megabytes) of storage space for the exclusive purpose of storing and serving YOUR website content via COMPANY's equipment for purposes consistent with this AGREEMENT. Even though the aggregate bandwidth YOU may use is not limited, YOUR web site must be used primarily for the display of HTML pages, and the total amount of data transferred from your Web Site Space may not exceed one megabyte for every two html page views. All use of Web Site Space shall be subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein. COMPANY retains the authority to restrict YOUR website as to file types and size, and to restrict transfer rates or amounts. Your site may exceed the foregoing size limit (but not the ratio of data to html transfer) if (i) YOU notify COMPANY that you intend to exceed the size limit; (ii) You regularly update the contents of YOUR site; (iii) YOUR site attracts over 1,000 unique visitors (as measured by unique IP addresses) every four weeks; and (iv) COMPANY, in its sole and unfettered discretion, believes that YOUR site contributes positively to the value of COMPANY and falls within COMPANY's business model.

B. COMPANY Retains The Rights To Any And All Materials It Places In Its Retained Space; The Original Owner Retains The Rights To Any And All Materials YOU Upload. The Web Site is comprised of the Retained Use Space (i.e. the space COMPANY uses to display advertising) and the remainder of the web site space (i.e. the space you use). Any and all materials appearing in or otherwise comprising COMPANY's Retained Use Space, including without limitation all intellectual property rights therein, shall remain the sole and exclusive property of COMPANY. Any and all materials uploaded by YOU remain the property of the original owner of such materials. COMPANY does not obtain any ownership interest in such materials, although YOU expressly instruct COMPANY to make such materials available for public viewing on YOUR Web Site until such time that YOU delete such materials from YOUR Web Site or for the life of this agreement, whichever is shorter. Of course, COMPANY's rights to these materials are also not less than those of the general public, so COMPANY may use the materials in the same way that any member of the general public could use them, such as by linking to YOUR web pages or publishing a review of YOUR web pages.

C. COMPANY Retains The Right To Use A Portion of Your Web Site Space.

  1. The license of rights granted herein pursuant to Paragraph A is expressly conditioned upon and subject to COMPANY's retention at all times of the unhindered right to control the initial vertical pixels and all corresponding horizontal pixels on each individual page display (Web Page), or the leftmost pixels on each web page together with all corresponding vertical pixels ("COMPANY's Retained Space"). COMPANY may (but is not required to) utilize COMPANY's Retained Space by electing to utilize html frame sets so as to segregate such space. Such HTML frame sets may result in utilization of additional pixels, which utilization shall be permissible pursuant to this agreement. COMPANY may also, whether in addition to or in the place of its Retained Space, cause the opening of additional Web Page windows displaying advertising or other content, and/or cause full page or partial full page advertising to be displayed, or/or imbed advertising links or other elements within your web pages.

  2. COMPANY may, at it's sole, absolute and unfettered discretion and with notice to YOU as provided herein, alter the amount, utilization, or other aspects of COMPANY's Retained Space. Thus, for example, if COMPANY decided to add additional advertising to the displayed web pages, this provision permits it to do so.

  3. IF YOU INTERFERE WITH COMPANY'S RETAINED SPACE (as, for example, by coding your pages so as to avoid the display of COMPANY'S Retained Space), COMPANY may (i) terminate this agreement; and/or (ii) seek monetary or other damages for your breach of this agreement.

D. COMPANY Will Never Be Liable To You, Even If You Are Harmed By COMPANY's Negligence.
