These terms and conditions may be modified from time to time. Modifications made to this Agreement will become effective 30 days after the modifications are posted.

Either the LA Registry or the Backend Service Provider may elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and discontinue the Services upon 30 days notice, whereupon any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of a service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period of time. You further agree that, within 30 days of your initial enrolment to receive the Services, either LA Registry or the Backend Service Provider may elect to terminate this Agreement without cause and that, in such event, the termination shall take effect immediately and that any pre-paid fees for an unused portion of your service term shall be refunded to you within a reasonable period of time.

You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain a current email address and physical mailing address in your contact information. You further agree that you will regularly login to your account to obtain any notices posted through the Services Interface.

EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR UNPLANNED SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS: You agree that any unplanned or unannounced interruptions in the Services shall not require a remedy unless such unplanned or unannounced interruptions exceed 24 hours in any 30 day period, in which case you agree that the exclusive remedy shall be a credit toward 24 hours of hosting for each 24 hour period of unplanned or unannounced interruptions, and that such credit shall exclusively be applied against the fees owed for your next period of hosting, if any, or shall be exclusively be accomplished by adjusting the end of your then-current Service term.

BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES, THE LIABILITY OF LA REGISTRY AND/OR BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

INDEMNIFICATION: YOU AGREE TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD LA REGISTRY AND BACKEND SERVICE PROVIDER, THEIR CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND AFFILIATES HARMLESS FROM ALL LIABILITIES, CLAIMS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COURT COSTS, FOR THIRD PARTY CLAIMS RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, INFRINGEMENT BY YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE USING YOUR COMPUTER, OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHT OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, OR FROM THE VIOLATION OF ANY TERM OR CONDITION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
