WPX is owned and operated by K Media Tech, LLC (“K Media Tech”) which provides website and software services to you subject to the following Terms of Service (“TOS”), which may be updated from time to time without notice. You can review the most current version of the TOS any time at: http://wpxhosting.com/page/terms-of-service/. In addition, when using any particular K Media Tech-owned or -operated services, you and K Media Tech shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services, which may be modified from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. K Media Tech may also offer other services that are governed by different terms of service.

2. Description Of Service

K Media Tech provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including various communications tools, search services, and personalized content through its network of properties which may be accessed through any medium or device now known or hereafter developed (the “Service”). You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for K Media Tech to provide the Service. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from K Media Tech, such as service announcements, administrative messages, and newsletter(s), and that these communications are considered part of your subscription. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new K Media Tech properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided “AS-IS” and that K Media Tech assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

3. Your Registration Obligations

In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or K Media Tech has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, K Media Tech has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

4. K Media Tech Privacy Policy

Registration Data and certain other information about you is subject to our Privacy Policy. For more information, see our full privacy policy at http://wpxhosting.com/page/privacy-policy/.

5. Bandwidth Policy

WPX currently offers 4 different service level plans and the bandwidth limit for each is as follows:

a. Business (100Gb Monthly Maximum Bandwidth)

b. Professional (200Gb Monthly Maximum Bandwidth)

c. Elite (Unlimited* Monthly Maximum Bandwidth)

d. Elite Plus (Unlimited* Monthly Maximum Bandwidth)

*In the case of the Elite and Elite Plus plans, a ‘reasonable use’ limit will be applied at the discretion of WPX. In most cases, the application of a CDN (Content Delivery Network) which we can help configure at no cost, should resolve high bandwidth usage. Contact the WPX support team for further clarification if needed.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account.
