You are responsible for managing updates and security patches, any application software or utilities installed, any files accessible via your site(s), and the configuration of any security utilities provided by LastHourHosting.org.
5. SERVICES
Upon your initial registration, you will have the opportunity to select from our available service plans, each referred to as a "Subscription." It's important to note that all Subscriptions to our Services are subject to our formal acceptance. We will consider your Subscription accepted once we send you confirmation of the Subscription. However, LastHourHosting.org retains the right to decline providing any Service for any reason. Additionally, despite our Uptime Guarantee, we reserve the right to temporarily interrupt access to the Services for routine and emergency maintenance as required. You are also welcome to order additional Services at any time, provided you agree to pay the prevailing fees for those additional Services. All these additional services are considered part of the "Services" under these Terms. Please be aware that the availability of all Services is contingent upon adherence to these Terms. As long as you agree to these Terms and adhere to them, you are allowed to utilize our Services. These Terms are applicable to all users of the Service, including Visitors and Registered Users who also contribute User Content. Please understand that the Services are provided to you under a license and are not sold.
- Limited License Grant: The Services are protected by copyright laws globally. Subject to your acceptance of these Terms and your ongoing compliance with them, along with any other applicable policies, LastHourHosting.org grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable limited license, with certain restrictions, to use the Services and/or download and use a copy of any Apps or client software on a device or computer that you own or control. This license is exclusively for your own internal business or individual purposes. You agree not to use the Services for any other purpose.
- Restrictions: You are prohibited from: (i) removing any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from any part of the Services; (ii) reproducing, modifying, creating derivative works based on, distributing, licensing, leasing, selling, reselling, transferring, publicly displaying, publicly performing, transmitting, streaming, broadcasting, or otherwise exploiting the Services unless expressly permitted by LastHourHosting.org; (iii) decompiling, reverse engineering, or disassembling the Services, except as may be permitted by applicable law; (iv) linking to, mirroring, or framing any part of the Services except as expressly permitted by LastHourHosting.org; (v) using any programs or scripts with the intent of scraping, indexing, surveying, or engaging in data mining of any part of the Services or excessively burdening or hindering the operation or functionality of any aspect of the Services; or (vi) attempting to gain unauthorized access to or impair any aspect of the Services or its related systems or networks.
6. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND CANCELLATIONS
- Subscriptions: Your Subscription or the commencement of services with LastHourHosting.org begins upon your confirmation and receipt of lawful funds, whichever occurs first. You have the flexibility to select the initial term's length for your Subscription when you subscribe to our services, and this will be clearly indicated at that time. During the Initial Term (including any renewals), you may not terminate your Subscription unless there is a breach by LastHourHosting.org. Following the Initial Term, your Subscription will automatically renew for subsequent terms of the same length as the Initial Term, unless terminated or canceled by either party as specified herein.
- Pricing: LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to adjust prices for paid Subscriptions at any time, and we do not offer price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price reductions. Any changes in pricing will take effect after the expiration or termination of your then-current Subscription. Please note that if we agree to provide Services to you again after your Subscription ends for any reason, the amount you paid in a previous term or timeframe does not determine the amount you will pay for Services in the future. It is your responsibility to monitor our website for plan or price modifications if you wish to benefit from such changes. LastHourHosting.org does not automatically update your Subscription plan. Any upgrades or downgrades will be carried out at your request and may involve adjustments to fees (as defined in Section 7(a)) or require the initiation of service with us again.
- AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS: To ensure uninterrupted access to our Services, each paid Subscription includes automatic renewal provisions. LastHourHosting.org will automatically renew your paid Subscription in accordance with the Subscription period you selected (referred to as a "Subscription Term") on the anniversary of the date LastHourHosting.org initially charged your Account for the first Subscription fee. As authorized by you during the Subscription sign-up process, LastHourHosting.org will charge your Account with the applicable Subscription fee and any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed on your Subscription fee payment (unless you cancel prior to the anniversary date). Each Subscription renewal period matches the duration of the prior one, unless there is a different agreement between you and LastHourHosting.org. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE TERMINATED ONCE YOUR THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM EXPIRES. LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to modify pricing at any time (excluding the price in effect for your then-current Subscription Term), with prior notice to you. If you do not cancel your Subscription or disable the auto-renewal feature within the specified time after receiving notice of a price change, your Subscription will automatically renew at the price indicated in your notice.
- CANCELLATION TERMS: YOU ARE FREE TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME, AND SUCH CANCELLATION WILL TAKE EFFECT UPON THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION TERM. It is important to understand that you will be charged Subscription fees until the end of your then-current Subscription Term, and SUBSCRIPTION FEES WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, IN FULL OR IN PART, SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW. There will be no pro-rated refund for any unused days of the then-current Subscription Term. If you encounter any issues or have concerns regarding your cancellation, please reach out to us at support@lasthourhosting.org for assistance.
7. PAYMENTS
- If you acquire any Services offered by LastHourHosting.org for a fee, whether on a one-time basis or through a Subscription arrangement (collectively referred to as "Fees"), you hereby consent to LastHourHosting.org utilizing third-party payment processors for billing and online payment processing (see below). You also agree to fulfill the applicable Fees associated with the Services, including, but not limited to, recurring Subscription fees, as they come due. Additionally, you agree to cover all relevant taxes and to reimburse us for any costs incurred in collections and any interest accrued on overdue amounts. Unless specifically arranged through separate negotiations between You and Us, confirmed through a distinct written agreement, the initial and recurring Fees for the selected Services will be as specified in the initial online order form. Please be aware that setup fees and specialized programming fees are non-refundable. Unless otherwise indicated, Fees for Services may be invoiced in advance. Failure to make timely payments for Services may result in the suspension or termination of those Services.
- Services are automatically billed on a recurring basis, subject to auto-renewal, until you follow LastHourHosting.org's cancellation procedure as outlined in this Agreement. Your responsibility to pay fees continues throughout the entire Subscription Term (as defined in Section 6(c)). It's important to note that our Subscriptions may have usage limits. You acknowledge and understand that we periodically verify Service usage. If, during a routine verification process, we determine that your usage exceeds the current allocated usage limits, we reserve the right to invoice you for the additional usage. We may initiate contact with you to discuss your existing plan and explore alternative options available to you. You agree to upgrade to a higher usage plan if necessary.
- During the registration process, you are required to select a payment method. By providing a payment method, you explicitly authorize LastHourHosting.org to charge that payment method at regular intervals based on your specific Subscription. LastHourHosting.org retains the right to engage a third-party payment processor for handling all payments, and such third party may impose additional terms and conditions governing payment processing. Failure to pay all Fees promptly will result in your account being considered overdue. For any Fees that become past due, LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to assess interest charges at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, on the outstanding amount, until it is settled.
- You are responsible for covering any and all taxes, including personal property taxes, value-added taxes, or sales taxes, arising from your use of the Services. Any bank fees incurred by you due to the use of check cards, automatic payment services, insufficient funds, or any other fees imposed by your financial institution as a result of your use of the Services are not the responsibility of LastHourHosting.org. In the event that LastHourHosting.org receives a payment amount less than the full Fees due, due to taxes, bank charges, transfer fees, or similar reasons, we will issue an invoice for the difference between the received payment and the outstanding Fees. Furthermore, you agree to cover all attorney and collection fees incurred by LastHourHosting.org in its efforts to collect past-due Fees.
- Should you decide to cancel any Service before the expiration of the prepaid Fees, you acknowledge and consent that LastHourHosting.org may, at its sole discretion, choose not to issue any refunds, including but not limited to any remaining prepaid Fees, setup Fees, and/or special programming Fees. If any refunds are granted, they will be issued only to the original method of payment.
- If you fail to make timely payments or if LastHourHosting.org is unable to process your payment method for any reason, LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Subscription, access to the Services, and/or Account, subsequently ending these Terms.
- Coupons and Discount Codes. Periodically, LastHourHosting.org may provide coupons or discount codes that can be applied when subscribing to our Services. These coupons and discount codes are exclusively intended for first-time customers of LastHourHosting.org and must be used at the time of initial purchase – they cannot be applied after Service commencement. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, these coupons and discount codes cannot be used for upgrades to your account. Any account deemed to be attempting unauthorized use of coupons or discount codes may be subject to Termination for Cause (refer to Section 9).
8. REFERRAL PROGRAM
We may introduce initiatives that enable our users to accrue service credits and incentives, denoted as "Rewards," within their Accounts. Prior to participating in our Rewards program, we kindly request that you review our Referral Program Terms. Please note that these terms may be subject to periodic updates and amendments. The Referral Program Terms are hereby included as an integral part of this agreement by reference.
9. TERMINATION
- LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to terminate your Subscription at its discretion, with or without cause, at any time ("Termination without Cause"). In such instances, LastHourHosting.org will provide you with a written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cessation of Services. If LastHourHosting.org cancels your Subscription due to any of the terms outlined in these Terms, except for Termination without Cause, LastHourHosting.org shall not refund any fees paid or prepaid in advance of such cancellation, and you remain responsible for settling all fees and charges accrued prior to the effective cancellation date. In cases where LastHourHosting.org terminates the Agreement for cause, any prepaid Fees will be forfeited and are non-refundable. The termination of your Subscription does not relieve you of your obligation to settle any Fees incurred or payable to LastHourHosting.org prior to the effective date of Subscription termination.
- In addition to LastHourHosting.org's right to terminate your Subscription as provided elsewhere in these Terms, LastHourHosting.org may immediately terminate your Subscription if, in LastHourHosting.org's sole judgment, it determines that you or any of your end users: (i) have violated the Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") or Anti-Spam Policy, (ii) have infringed upon or violated any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights of a third party, (iii) have failed to comply with any applicable laws, statutes, or regulations, or (iv) have uploaded, published, or disseminated any content, such as images, text, graphics, code, or video, which LastHourHosting.org deems illegal or high-risk, at its discretion, or (v) have breached these Terms. It is important to note that nothing in these Terms imposes a duty or obligation upon LastHourHosting.org to continuously monitor or review Your Content (defined in Section 12) or the content of your end users. You remain solely responsible for Your Content and any liabilities arising from it.
- Subscription termination results in the discontinuation of your access to the Services and the revocation of your license to the Materials. LastHourHosting.org shall not be held liable to you or any third party for terminations of Services permitted under these Terms. Upon Subscription termination, LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to maintain copies of your data files and records for archival purposes, although it is not obligated to do so. LastHourHosting.org retains the right to impose an early termination charge for all Services terminated before the last day of the billing cycle.
- If either party cancels or terminates your Subscription for any reason, you are responsible for making all necessary arrangements to secure a replacement service provider and for timely migrating all electronic data, graphics, images, videos, or text to the new service provider.
- LastHourHosting.org shall not be liable to you for any suspension or termination, including the deletion of Content. All provisions of the Terms that, by their nature, should survive, shall continue to be in effect following the termination of the Service. These provisions include ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability. You can close your Account by using the provided feature within the Services or by sending an email to support@lasthourhosting.org. Upon receipt, LastHourHosting.org will proceed to close your Account and send you an email confirmation. 10. OUR ACCEPTABLE USE AND ANTI-SPAM POLICIES AND OUR COMMUNITY To utilize our Services, you hereby acknowledge and affirm your commitment to consistently adhere to our Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") and our Anti-Spam Policy ("Policies"), as these policies may undergo periodic revisions. These policies govern both prohibited and permissible practices related to the utilization of our Services, encompassing constraints on User Content, activities that are prohibited, prevention of system abuse, and security measures. If you do not concur with our Policies, it is imperative that you cease using the Service. The Policies are an integral part of this agreement and are hereby included by reference.
11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT AND DMCA NOTIFICATIONS
LastHourHosting.org strictly prohibits activities that infringe upon copyrights and intellectual property rights within the Services.

You are prohibited from Making Available on the Services any material protected by copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right without explicit permission from the owner of such copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right, held by a third party. The responsibility for determining whether any such right safeguards any material rests solely on you. You shall be solely liable for any harm resulting from copyright infringement, trademark violation, infringement of proprietary rights, contract breaches, privacy or publicity rights violations, or any other harm stemming from any User Content you create or submit. In the relationship between you and us, you retain ownership of your User Content and assume full responsibility for all User Content you create or submit, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness, while using the Services. You hereby grant LastHourHosting.org a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, reproduce, process, adapt, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, create derivative works, publish, transmit, and distribute each of your User Content, or any portion thereof, in any form, medium, or distribution method now known or hereafter developed, existing, known, or developed, and to otherwise use and commercialize the User Content in any manner that LastHourHosting.org deems suitable, without requiring further consent, notice, and/or compensation to you or any third parties, for the purpose of delivering the Services to you.
- LastHourHosting.org will not actively monitor Content hosted by LastHourHosting.org. However, at its sole discretion, LastHourHosting.org may choose to electronically monitor its network and may disclose any content or records related to your Account as necessary to satisfy legal obligations, regulations, or other governmental requests, or to effectively operate our network and safeguard our customers. LastHourHosting.org will investigate complaints involving the violation of third-party rights or our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). LastHourHosting.org will cooperate with efforts aimed at reducing Internet abuse and reserves the right to implement "filters" or other mechanisms for this purpose. LastHourHosting.org will collaborate with law enforcement agencies and reserves the right to inform such agencies if it suspects that you or any of your end users are engaged in illegal activities. Nothing contained in this Section, or in any part of these Terms, is intended to confer any rights upon any third party, and third parties are not entitled to enforce any terms of these Terms between us, the parties.
- You acknowledge and expressly agree that LastHourHosting.org will not be held liable to you or any of your end users for any actions taken by LastHourHosting.org to remove or restrict access to the Services due to an alleged violation of the AUP or in the exercise of its rights as a Good Samaritan under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. § 230(d)) or under the DMCA.
- LastHourHosting.org may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your Account and access to the Services, and terminate these Terms for cause, if your conduct violates our Policies (See Section 10), or if the conduct of any of your end users or downstream customers violates such Policies. We respect the intellectual property rights of all parties and have adopted a policy regarding the termination of repeat copyright infringers under the DMCA (See Section 11).
- Child Pornography. LastHourHosting.org takes the issue of child pornography very seriously and strictly prohibits any potential harm to minors using our Services. Content that is or may be perceived as child pornography will be promptly removed from public access upon notification or detection by us. Additionally, LastHourHosting.org reserves the right to immediately terminate any Account whose website(s) host or link to child pornography without notice to you. If the account is a LastHourHosting.org reseller account, the account will be suspended, and the reseller will be directed to terminate the responsible account. You agree to cooperate with us in any such efforts. Content or communications aimed at soliciting, enticing, or luring minors into sexual activity or indecent conduct is also strictly prohibited and will be treated similarly to child pornography, in accordance with applicable law. You agree to cooperate with LastHourHosting.org in any effort to investigate, disable, or remove such Content originating from your end users. Consistent with federal law, LastHourHosting.org will cooperate with law enforcement authorities and will notify such authorities if it suspects that you or any of your downstream customers or end users are engaged in any such illegal activities. In accordance with the reporting requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, we will report to the CyberTipline (www.cybertipline.com) any actual knowledge of apparent violations of 18 U.S.C §§ 2251, 2251A, 2252, 2252A, 2252B, 2260, or 1466A.

17. HIPAA SERVICE OFFERING AND YOUR OBLIGATIONS
As part of our services, LastHourHosting.org may offer Virtual Private Servers that can be configured to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), collectively referred to as the “Configurable HIPAA Server.” You are obligated to ensure ongoing compliance with HIPAA and HITECH requirements whenever you use a Configurable HIPAA Server. The specific steps necessary for achieving HIPAA and HITECH compliance while utilizing LastHourHosting.org's services will vary depending on your particular implementation. When entering into an agreement with LastHourHosting.org for this service, we will provide you with relevant documentation outlining your responsibilities. You understand and agree that you will undergo an architectural review before deploying your HIPAA Server and that you will execute an acknowledgment confirming your understanding of these requirements with LastHourHosting.org. You bear full responsibility for maintaining the security of data on your HIPAA Server or any other data under your control. You commit to complying with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations regarding the collection, security, and dissemination of protected health information (“PHI”) on your HIPAA Server. If LastHourHosting.org deems it necessary based on your implementation, and we request it, you will promptly furnish us with documentation verifying your compliance with HIPAA and HITECH. You further agree to exclusively use HIPAA-compliant service providers for the storage or transmission of PHI. You can find information about HIPAA rules on the HHS website, and it is your responsibility to adhere to these standards. For as long as your account remains active, you are responsible for managing, retaining, and backing up any of your content. LastHourHosting.org does not have access to Customer Content stored within HIPAA Servers, nor do we offer backup services for such content. Except as required by applicable law or legal procedures or as otherwise agreed upon, LastHourHosting.org is not responsible for retaining HIPAA Servers or your content after account termination or for archival purposes. You acknowledge that, unless you instruct us otherwise, all content will be securely deleted by LastHourHosting.org upon account termination, subject to these Terms. We can provide certification of destruction if needed.

24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Please take note of the following if you are a resident of the United States of America. It has implications for your rights.
- Governing Law. These Terms and any potential disputes between you and LastHourHosting.org will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal laws, and the regulations of the State of Idaho, United States of America, excluding any provisions concerning conflicts of law. You consent that any claims or disputes you might have against LastHourHosting.org must be exclusively resolved in a state or federal court situated in Bonner County, Idaho, except as otherwise mutually agreed upon by both parties or as detailed in the Arbitration section below. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Bonner County, Idaho, for the purpose of addressing such claims or disputes.
- Dispute Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, as described below, either party must first send a written notice of dispute (“Notice") to the other party. This notice should outline the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, as well as the requested resolution. Following receipt of the Notice, you and LastHourHosting.org may attempt to amicably resolve the claim or dispute. If a resolution is not reached within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may proceed with arbitration as outlined below. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho, United States of America, excluding its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation set forth by the Institute for Christian Conciliation.
-
Arbitration. You acknowledge and agree that LastHourHosting.org
may choose to resolve disputes cost-effectively through binding
arbitration, which may include non-appearance-based arbitration.
In such a case, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of an
arbitration procedure initiated with the Rules of Procedure for
Christian Conciliation by the Institute for Christian
Conciliation, or another recognized alternative dispute resolution
provider (collectively referred to as “ADR”), as selected by
LastHourHosting.org. The ADR provider and the parties involved
must adhere to the following rules:
- the arbitration method may be chosen by the initiating party and might involve telephone, online, or be based solely on written submissions, as determined by LastHourHosting.org;
- the arbitration process may not necessitate the physical presence of the parties or witnesses, unless mutually agreed upon, in which case the arbitration would be conducted in Bonner County, Idaho; and
- the arbitrator's decision may be enforced in any court with competent jurisdiction. It is important to note that arbitration specifically excludes claims for injunctive or other equitable relief. Arbitral Claims encompass a broad range of claims, including, but not limited to, contract and tort claims of all types, as well as claims based on federal, state, or local laws, statutes, or regulations. The only exceptions are claims subject to applicable worker's compensation law, unemployment insurance claims, intellectual property claims, actions for injunctions, attachment, garnishment, and other equitable relief. The arbitration will be conducted in Bonner County, Idaho, and will be administered by a single arbitrator with expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. Unless stated otherwise, the party initiating the action will bear all arbitration-related costs, including arbitrator fees. Each party will be responsible for its attorneys' fees, except in cases related to the collection of a debt owed, in which case the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys' fees, all arbitration expenses, and arbitrator fees, in addition to other applicable remedies. The arbitrator will not have the authority to award punitive or exemplary damages, certify a class action, add parties, deviate from the provisions of these Terms, or disregard applicable laws. The arbitrator will be required to take a neutral stance. The arbitrator will provide a written opinion detailing all pertinent facts and the rationale behind the decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration process.
- Jury Trial Waiver. YOU HEREBY RELINQUISH YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO A COURT TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. In the event of any litigation arising between you and LastHourHosting.org in any state or federal court, particularly in a lawsuit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or for any other reason, YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL and instead opt for the resolution of the dispute by a judge.
- Class or Consolidated Actions Waiver. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES THAT FALL UNDER THESE TERMS MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND CANNOT BE PURSUED ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS MADE BY MULTIPLE USERS CANNOT BE COMBINED FOR ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION AND MUST BE ADDRESSED SEPARATELY.
