TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
THIS CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS REGARDING THE CUSTOMER’S LEGAL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES FOR ACCESSING AND USING LAFACTORY, INC. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
This Universal Terms of Service Agreement (“Universal Terms”) constitutes an agreement between LaFactory, Inc. (“Company”) and the party (“Customer”) indicated on the corresponding Order Form, which is incorporated herein by this reference (together with any subsequent Order Form submitted by Customer to LaFactory, Inc, collectively, the “Order Form”), and applies to the purchase of all products and services ordered by Customer on the Order Form (collectively, the “Services”).
USE OF THIS WEBSITE AND/OR REGISTRATION FOR THE SERVICES CREATES A CONTRACT BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND LAFACTORY, INC AND CUSTOMER HEREBY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENTS (AS DEFINED HEREIN). WHEN THE CUSTOMER REGISTERS AND/OR THE CUSTOMER ACCESSES OR USES THE SERVICES, THIS CONSTITUTES THE CUSTOMER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENTS.
Changes to the Agreements, Policies and/or Services.
LaFactory, Inc may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time change or modify these Universal Terms, any other policies or any other terms and conditions of products or services related to the Services published on the LaFactory, Inc website. LaFactory, Inc’s Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) and LaFactory, Inc’s Privacy Policy, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference, and any such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting on LaFactory, Inc’s website located at www.divi4.lafactory.online (“LaFactory, Inc Site”).
These Terms, the Policies, the Acceptable Use Policy and the Privacy Policy shall be collectively referred to as the “Agreements”. Unless otherwise specified in a Policy, in the event of a conflict between the provisions of these Universal Terms and the terms of the Policies, Acceptable Use Policy or Privacy Policy, the provisions of these Universal Terms shall prevail.
Customer’s access and/or use of the LaFactory, Inc. Site or Services after such changes or modifications have been made shall constitute Customer’s acceptance of the Agreements as of the “Last Revised Date” set forth above. If Customer does not agree to be bound by the Agreements as of the “Last Review Date”, Customer shall not access or use or continue to access or use the LaFactory, Inc Site or the Services.
LaFactory, Inc may (but is not obligated to) notify Customer from time to time of changes or modifications to the Agreements by e-mail. It is therefore important that Customer keeps its LaFactory, Inc account information (“Account”) accurate and up-to-date. LaFactory, Inc assumes no responsibility for Customer’s failure to receive email notification if such failure is the result of inaccurate Account information.
LaFactory, Inc may terminate, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Customer’s access to or use of the LaFactory, Inc Site or the Services in the event of any breach or default or threatened breach or default by the Customer of any of the terms of the Agreements.
The LaFactory, Inc. Site and the Services are available only to persons who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By using the LaFactory, Inc Site or the Services, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is (i) at least eighteen (18) years of age, (ii) otherwise recognized as capable of forming legally binding contracts under applicable law, and/or (iii) not a person prohibited from purchasing or receiving the Services found under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
If Customer enters into the Agreements as the representative or on behalf of a corporation or third party that retains or may retain ownership of an Account, Customer hereby represents and warrants that it has the legal authority to bind such corporation or third party to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreements, in which case the term “Customer” refers to such corporation or third party. If, after Customer’s electronic acceptance of the Agreements, LaFactory, Inc. finds that Customer does not have the legal authority to bind such legal entity or third party, Customer shall be personally liable for the obligations contained in the Agreements, including, but not limited to, any payment obligations. LaFactory, Inc shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from LaFactory, Inc’s reliance on any representation, instruction, advice, document or communication that it reasonably believes to be genuine and from an authorized representative of the Customer’s legal entity or third party. If there is any reasonable doubt the Customer must immediately notify LaFactory, Inc. of any breach of security or unauthorized access or use of the Account. Customer may be held liable for any damage or loss that LaFactory, Inc. or others suffer as a result of a breach of an Account, whether caused by Customer, an authorized person, or an unauthorized person.
Customer’s Account.
In order to access certain features of the LaFactory, Inc. Site or to use certain Services, Customer must create an Account. Customer represents and warrants to LaFactory, Inc that all information submitted by Customer when creating an Account is accurate, current and complete, and that Customer will keep such information accurate, current and complete. If LaFactory, Inc has reason to believe that the Account information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, LaFactory, Inc reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to suspend, cancel or terminate the Account. Customer is solely responsible for any and all activity that occurs under the Account, whether or not authorized by Customer, and Customer shall keep the Account information secure, including, without limitation, any Customer number or login, password and payment method(s). For security reasons, LaFactory, Inc. strongly recommends that Customer periodically change Customer’s password for any Account.
If the Customer is acting on behalf of a legal entity or third party, upon request by LaFactory, Inc, the Customer must provide LaFactory, Inc with any contact or other information relating to the true owner of the relevant Account, which may include providing valid identification.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY RECURRING BILLING PROGRAM, IN THE EVENT LAFACTORY, INC IS NOTIFIED OF AN UPDATE TO THE CUSTOMER’S CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, LAFACTORY, INC MAY AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE THE CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT PROFILE ON BEHALF OF THE CUSTOMER. THE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE COMPANY WILL REQUEST OR RECEIVE THE CUSTOMER’S UPDATED CREDIT CARD INFORMATION.

If, for any reason, LaFactory, Inc is unable to debit the Customer’s payment method for the full amount due, or if LaFactory, Inc is notified of a chargeback, cancellation, dispute of payment, or if it is assessed a penalty for charges it has previously debited to the Customer’s payment method, the Customer agrees that LaFactory, Inc may exercise all available legal remedies to obtain payment, including, but not limited to, immediate cancellation of the Services, without notice to the Customer. LaFactory, Inc also reserves the right to charge Customer a reasonable “administrative” fee for (i) tasks LaFactory, Inc may perform outside the normal scope of its Services, (ii) additional time and/or costs LaFactory, Inc may incur in providing the Services, and/or (iii) Customer’s non-compliance with the Agreements (as determined by LaFactory, Inc in its sole and absolute discretion), which typical administrative or processing cost scenarios include, but are not limited to (a) customer service issues that require additional time or personal attention; (b) recovery of all costs and fees, including the cost of services, incurred by LaFactory, Inc as a result of chargebacks, cancellations, payment disputes, penalties, or other payment disputes presented by Customer, Customer’s bank, or Customer’s payment method processor. Such administrative or processing fees will be charged to the payment method that Customer has registered in its account.
LaFactory, Inc may offer prices in different currencies. The transaction(s) will be processed in the selected currency and the price displayed during the payment process will be the actual amount submitted for payment. For some payment methods, the issuer of Customer’s payment method may charge Customer a foreign transaction fee or other fee, which may be added to the final amount that appears on Customer’s bank statement or displayed as a separate amount. Customer should check with the issuer of its payment method for details. In addition, regardless of the currency selected, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer may be charged value added tax (“VAT”), goods and services tax (“GST”), or other localized fees and/or taxes, depending on Customer’s bank and/or the country listed in Customer’s billing address section of the Account.

U.S. Export Laws. The LaFactory, Inc. Site and the Services are subject to the export laws, restrictions, regulations and administrative actions of the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of State and other U.S. authorities (collectively, “U.S. Export Laws”). Customer shall not use the Services to collect, store or transmit any information or technical data controlled under U.S. Export Laws. Users shall not export or re-export, or permit the export or re-export of, any of the Services found on this site in violation of U.S. export laws. None of the Services may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) to (or to a national or resident of) any country with which the United States has a trade embargo; or (ii) to any person on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals List or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Denied Persons List, or any other list of parties denied entry under U.S. export laws. By using the LaFactory, Inc. Site and the Services, Customer agrees to the foregoing and represents and warrants that Customer is not a national or resident of, located in, or under the control of any restricted country, that Customer is not on a denied list and that Customer agrees to comply with all U.S. Export Laws (including “anti-boycott”, “deemed export” and “deemed re-export” regulations). If Customer accesses the LaFactory, Inc. Site or Services from other countries or jurisdictions, Customer does so on its own initiative and is responsible for compliance with the local laws of that jurisdiction, if and to the extent such local laws are applicable and do not conflict with U.S. Export Laws. If such laws conflict with U.S. Export Laws, Customer shall not access the LaFactory, Inc. The obligations in this section shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreements or Customer’s use of the LaFactory, Inc.
Marketing. Customer agrees that, during the term of the Agreements, LaFactory, Inc may publicly refer to Customer, orally and in writing, as a customer of LaFactory, Inc. Any other public reference to Customer by LaFactory, Inc requires the written consent of Customer.
Web Hosting. Web hosting plans include shared enterprise hosting, WordPress hosting and reseller plans. Each of these plans places Customer’s content on one or more LaFactory, Inc. servers. Each Customer is assigned a unique Domain Name System (“DNS”) identifier, which translates domain names into IP addresses to enable Internet browsers to load Internet resources. Hardware and software resources can be shared between customers on the same LaFactory, Inc. servers.
Shared business hosting plans are shared hosting environments, so to ensure fast and reliable service to all our customers, accounts that negatively affect server or network performance must correct these problems or will be asked to switch to a virtual or dedicated server.
