This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that govern Your use of this website and the products and services (collectively, the "Services") found at this site, and is in addition to and not in lieu of any specific terms and conditions that apply to Your purchase of a particular Service. In the event that You provide a purchase order or other ordering document to facilitate Your purchase, the document is incorporated by reference only to the extent that it identifies the Services to be purchased, and all other terms and conditions included in such document are hereby rejected by TheITDynasty.

You acknowledge and agree that TheITDynasty’s acceptance of this Agreement and the provision of Services are performed at TheITDynasty’s offices in Lehi, Utah, USA. TheITDynasty, in its sole discretion, may refuse to provide the Services to any one at any time and for any reason. If TheITDynasty exercises this right, TheITDynasty will not charge You for the Services and/or refund You for the amounts paid for the Services during the month that TheITDynasty invokes its right to deny Service.
TheITDynasty, in its sole and absolute discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, and the corporate policies and/or Service Specific Terms which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon the earlier of (i) our email notification to You advising You of such changes or modifications (ii) Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement after such changes or modifications have been made to this Agreement as indicated by the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page or (iii) Your continued use of the Services after TheITDynasty posts the amended Agreement to TheITDynasty.com.

By using the Services found at this Site, You represent and warrant that You are (i) at least eighteen (18) years of age and/or (ii) otherwise recognized as being able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. You further represent and warrant that You are not on the United States Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls list of Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons and are not otherwise a person to whom TheITDynasty is legally prohibited to provide the Services.
The Customer designated in the accompanying Order Form in the "Your Information" section shall be the single "Point of Contact." Customer’s Point of Contact shall have full authority to enter into agreements and make binding decisions on behalf of Customer. Customer agrees that TheITDynasty may rely on representations made by Customer’s Point of Contact. Customer may change its Point of Contact at any time by giving written notice to TheITDynasty in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement. TheITDynasty is under no obligation to accept instructions from anyone other than the Point of Contact. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TheITDynasty shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from TheITDynasty’s reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication reasonably believed by TheITDynasty to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of Customer’s corporate entity. If there is reasonable doubt about the authenticity of any such instruction, notice, document or communication, TheITDynasty reserves the right (but not the obligation) to require additional authentication from Customer. In order to permit TheITDynasty to protect the quality of its products and services, You hereby consent to TheITDynasty staff being able to access Your account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or other allegations or abuse.
3. Dispute of Site or Account Ownership
The entity or person creating the account and designated as the owner shall be deemed the account owner. For security reasons, only the account owner or Point of Contact designated by the account owner shall be allowed to make changes, cancellations, or designate a new Point of Contact. Disputes sometimes arise between or among multiple persons claiming ownership of or rights in a site, store, or account. TheITDynasty is not obligated to and will not resolve any such disputes. If multiple persons are claiming ownership of or rights in a site, store or account, and, in TheITDynasty’s sole judgment, there is no certainty as to the ownership of or rights in said site or account, then TheITDynasty will, to the extent of its knowledge and ability, notify said persons of the dispute and demand that said persons promptly, conclusively, and finally resolve the dispute in a manner which makes clear who the owner(s) and/or interest holder(s) is/are and in a manner which relieves TheITDynasty of all liability or obligations concerning the dispute. If the disputing persons fail so to resolve the dispute within what TheITDynasty, in its sole judgment, deems to be a reasonable time, then TheITDynasty, at its sole option and without any obligation to do so, may suspend or terminate the account until such persons resolve said dispute and reach certainty regarding ownership of or rights in said site, store and/or account. The person or persons conclusively and finally determined by court order or settlement agreement to be the rightful owner(s) or interest holder(s) of said site, store and/or account shall be obligated to pay all amounts due and comply with the Transfer Policy, if required, to transfer ownership of the site, store and/or account to the rightful owner. Failure of the rightful owner of said site, store and/or account timely pay in full all of said amounts shall be deemed a breach of these Terms and shall subject the account to immediate termination.
To transfer ownership of an account, Customer must contact TheITDynasty and comply with the Transfer Policy.

8. Sublicense
Customer may not sublicense or resell any of TheITDynasty’s Services to any third parties without prior written permission of TheITDynasty.
9. Fees and Payment
9.A. Fees. In consideration of the Services, Customer will pay to TheITDynasty all fees due according to the prices and terms listed on the website. All sales are final and TheITDynasty offers no partial or full refunds of any kind on any purchase unless otherwise expressly noted, even if Your Services are suspended, terminated or transferred before the end of the Services. TheITDynasty expressly reserves the right to change or modify its prices and fees at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be posted online at this Site and effective immediately without need for further notice to You. If You have purchased Services for a period of months or years, changes or modifications in prices and fees shall be effective when the Services in question come up for renewal. TheITDynasty may, at its sole option, extend payment terms to Customer. Should TheITDynasty extend payment terms, You agree that Your obligation to pay TheITDynasty for the Services ordered begins on the date of purchase and does not end until paid in full, even if the Services are abandoned, suspended, terminated or transferred prior to such time.
B. Payment. Unless otherwise agreed to by TheITDynasty, all payments are due upon signup, the Services will not begin until payment is received. All recurring charges will be due every 30 days from the date of Your initial signup. It is Customer’s obligation to review all monthly charges for accuracy. Failure to dispute a charge within six (6) months following such charge shall constitute Customer’s agreement that all charges are valid and Customer agrees to waive any claims it may have had regarding such charge. If a payment is returned or rejected by TheITDynasty’s bank, or incurs additional costs for TheITDynasty (e.g., bank fees) for any reason, then Customer may be charged a service fee of $40 and be required reimburse all such fees and costs incurred by TheITDynasty, and Customer shall be immediately deemed to be in default of this Agreement. Accounts and all amounts in default are subject to a late payment charge of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is greater, until fully paid. If Customer defaults, Customer agrees to pay TheITDynasty its reasonable expenses, including attorney, in house legal expenses, and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights.
C. Billing Policies and Cycles. We offer billing via credit card or debit card charge only. All initial fees must be paid prior to service setup. These fees may include service setup fees and first month service charge. Our billing cycle begins on the day we set up Your account, and is due every 30 days thereafter. TheITDynasty attempts to automatically charge the credit card on file for any past due invoice for current, suspended and cancelled accounts. Accounts suspended and reactivated must pay all past due and current amounts and may also have to pay a reactivation fee. If you cancel Your service for any reason, You must sign up for new service and pay the full setup fees associated with the plan You choose. To cancel Your account, the Point of Contact must send an email to support@TheITDynasty.com requesting cancellation. To ensure that You are not billed for another month of service, You must cancel Your account before Your billing cycle due date.
Note: All billing correspondence (invoices, notifications, etc.) is done via email. It is crucial that You maintain a current email address with us.
D. Taxes. All fees charged by TheITDynasty for the Services are exclusive of all taxes, VAT and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction and/or the delivery of Services, all of which Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes based on TheITDynasty’s net income. If TheITDynasty is required to pay directly any such taxes, Customer will, upon receipt of TheITDynasty’s invoice, promptly reimburse TheITDynasty for any such taxes paid by TheITDynasty.
10. Security
Customer acknowledges that the Internet is not a secure or completely reliable system. TheITDynasty will take those precautions TheITDynasty deems reasonable in its sole discretion to secure Customer’s Web Site from attack, but TheITDynasty makes no warranty that there will be no outages or interruptions of service, or that Customer’s Content will be secure against attack of any form by end users or other third parties.
11. PCI Guidelines
TheITDynasty provides a framework to its customers which utilizes an encrypted SSL certificate. Authorize.net payment integration along with the use of Customer Information Manager ensures full PCI compliance. However, if a TheITDynasty customer chooses to utilize the software other than as intended, utilize third party services or software, fail to install a SSL Certificate, or otherwise combine the software with software not approved by TheITDynasty (each a "Customer Fail Point"), Customer may fail to comply with the minimum PCI standards regardless of TheITDynasty’s framework.
Therefore, if a TheITDynasty customer chooses to engage in one or more Customer Fail Points, that customer assumes all liability for their actions and the inherent risk associated with viewing, processing, storing or transmitting credit card information and agrees to indemnify TheITDynasty of any costs, claims or damages associated with such risk. TheITDynasty will not be responsible for any such risk or liability regardless of the security settings.
Further, if a merchant chooses to view credit card information, they are certifying that they understand and are following all PCI guidelines for viewing credit card information. These guidelines can be found at Visa’s website.
If a merchant does not follow all of the PCI guidelines when viewing credit card information, that merchant is in breach of its contract with TheITDynasty and possibly Visa/Mastercard/Discover/American Express. You agree to indemnify and hold TheITDynasty harmless from any and all claims, costs or damages associated with Your failure to follow PCI guidelines.
Regardless of any Customer Fail Point, a customer must comply with the PCI DSS and assume liability applicable to PCI DSS. In addition, per PCI guidelines, stores must use a strong security protocol such as SSL to safeguard sensitive cardholder data over networks.
At its discretion, TheITDynasty reserves the right to change the security settings of any merchant at any time with or without warning. TheITDynasty further reserves the right, but not the obligation, to suspend or terminate any merchant that is suspected or proven to be in violation of minimum PCI guidelines.
12. Prohibited Practices
TheITDynasty shall have no duty or obligation to monitor Customer’s Content or any other Content provided or distributed by others, and TheITDynasty shall not edit or otherwise exercise any control over Customer’s Content. Nevertheless, TheITDynasty may, in its sole discretion at any time, without notice to Customer, and without liability to Customer, remove from public view, disconnect, or terminate the hosting of any of Customer’s Content or other Content that TheITDynasty deems in its sole discretion to be offensive or illegal, for any one or more of the following reasons: (i) the content is adjudicated to be in violation of the laws of the state where the server resides; illegal or sexually explicit Content or activities, or any Content that allegedly violates the law, rules or regulations of any country or subdivision thereof; (ii) the content constitutes harassment of Users, including, but not limited to, by means of Customer’s billing practices; or (iii) Customer’s noncompliance with or material breach of any of the terms and conditions of the AUP or this Agreement; or (iv) claims made by third parties against TheITDynasty that Customer or any of its end users has engaged in one or more of the above practices.
13. No Solicitation
Customer agrees Customer will NOT approach any employees of TheITDynasty and its affiliates with proposals to hire them as its own employees or contractors. If You were to hire any of TheITDynasty’s employees, You agree to pay TheITDynasty for each employee hired the greater amount of three (3) years’ salary for that employee as You are to pay such employee, or $200,000.
14. Customer’s Indemnification
Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless TheITDynasty from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and fees attributable to in house legal personnel, arising from or relating to Customer’s provision, or an end user’s use, of Customer’s Content, or any act, error, or omission of Customer in connection therewith, including but not limited to matters relating to incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information; libel; invasion of privacy; infringement of a copyright, trade name, trademark, service mark, or other intellectual property or other right; or violation of any applicable law.
