To cancel or elect
not to renew any product or service, the customer must submit a cancellation
request via the PBN Client enter at http://my.pandabot.net

submitted at least seven (7) calendar days prior to expiration of the current
renewal term. To insure the privacy and security of both the customer and PBN,
cancellation must be completed via the PBN Client Center only.
No refunds, partial or otherwise, will be issued for any
unused portion of any billing cycle or late cancellations. For special
promotions, a 50% off promotion, for example, PBN applies those funds at the
full value rate to whichever period the funds are covering at the service's
normal rate, and the remaining time is provided at no charge. More specifically
- if you purchase a service with a semi-annual billing period at 50% off, PBN
applies the full rate for the first three months of service, and the ensuing 3
months of the 6 month term are provided at no charge. As such, any cancellations
placed during the time frame in which service is being provided at no charge
shall be ineligible for a refund. Furthermore, requests for refunds will only be
considered if the cancellation request is for an immediate cancellation. Also,
understand that you must have all your data backed-up and off the PBN Network,
because immediate cancellations may lead to the immediate and irrecoverable loss
of any and all data associated with your service.
Cancellation requests MUST be made seven (7) or more days
prior to expiration of the current billing cycle. Cancellations made within the
last seven (7) days of the current billing cycle and marked "Cancel at the end
of the billing period" will not be terminated until the end of the follow
billing cycle and the invoice will be due and processed. Cancellations made
within the last seven (7) days of the billing cycle and marked "Immediate
cancel" will be terminated by midnight of the day of the cancellation request,
and the current invoice will still be due and processed per our Terms of
Service.
No refunds will be given on customized services/orders,
associated setup fees and/or services/orders with explicitly requested and
provided IP diversity, unless specified at the time of purchase. Additionally,
any orders that have utilized a license for which PBN has paid fees to a third
party - such as (but not limited to) Microsoft Licenses, WHMCS Licenses, and
cPanel Licenses - are non-refundable. Payments for domain names, for which PBN
pays to a registrar, are also non-refundable.

AFFILIATE TRACKING
Panda Bot Network
will be solely responsible for tracking sales using special software that
communicates with the specially encoded URLs assigned to affiliates. Panda Bot
Network will endeavor to do its best to ensure accurate tracking of referrals
made by affiliates. Affiliates will themselves be solely responsible for
ensuring that these special URLs are formatted properly, a necessary
prerequisite to accurate tracking of referral sales. Notwithstanding the above
statement of responsibility by Panda Bot Network to track sales, affiliates
hereby acknowledge and accept that the tracking system employed by Panda Bot
Network is not 100% fail-safe and that there may on occasion be instances of
referral sales made that are not credited to an affiliate for any of the
following possible reasons:
•Failure by the affiliate to use the proper format of the
specially assigned URL in promotions, web page links, banner ads, and so on.
• Deliberate or
accidental actions by customers to circumvent an affiliate's special URL so that
our software is unable to accurately track that sale.
•Bugs, glitches or
crashes of the tracking software that render it unable to accurately track sales
for a period of time.
•Acts of nature
that cause irretrievable data loss on the computers and back-up disk media.
RESPONSIBILITIES

RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
Panda Bot Network and your company are independent
contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint
venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship
between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or
representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your
site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this agreement.
QUALIFYING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR REFERRAL COMMISSIONS
Any product or
service with a recurring service fee listed on the Panda Bot Network web site is
eligible for referral commissions.
REFERRAL COMMISSIONS
We will pay you
referral commissions on the base monthly recurring service fee of Qualifying
Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a
referral commission, the customer must satisfactorily complete an order for any
Qualifying Products and/or Service from the Panda Bot Network web site. We will
only pay referral commissions on such Products after order, payment and shipping
(if necessary) and the 2nd monthly billing is completed (31 days after the day
of initial sale) on the Qualifying Product sold. If during the 31 days the
Qualifying Product sold is determined to be fraudulent, suspended, canceled,
credited, or refunded, the referral commission will be canceled and voided.
Panda Bot Network at its sole discretion may increase the 31 day hold period
before approving a commission by up to 60 days in cases where there is a
heightened belief the transaction may result in fraud, refund or charge back.
PAYMENTS
Payments are issued
in US dollars, and paid once a month, on the 1st of the month for the total
amount of 'approved' funds in your affiliate account. Payments are made via
PayPal, or at the affiliate's option - in the form of a service credit towards
Panda Bot Network hosting products and services.

Any dispute
relating in any way to this Agreement (including any actual or alleged breach
hereof), any transactions or activities under this Agreement or your

States, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened
to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other
appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of New York (and
you consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts) or any other
court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration under this agreement shall be
conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration
Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a
judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an
