This web site will be hosted by The Company, as a sub-domain of the www.directplacement.co/ web site. Your complimentary web site will be created by The Company, hosted by The Company, with the intent to benefit your business. By accepting access and the benefit of this web site you understand that The Company is only granting to you a temporary, revocable license to the use, enjoyment of, benefit of, and content on the web site.

If your account is sent to collections, The Company will be entitled to additional charges for its collections expense, as described in section 7.3 of this Agreement.
