Hyport’s license to your Client Content is non-exclusive, meaning you may use your Client Content for your own purposes or let others use your Client Content for their purposes. Hyport’s license to your Client Content is fully paid and royalty free, meaning Hyport does not owe you or any third party anything else in connection with Hyport’s use of the Client Content.

10. Third-Party Sites.

Depending on the services you purchase and your individual circumstances, you may give Hyport access, including by providing login and password information, to certain third-party accounts and services such as Google Analytics, to allow Hyport to use and or modify those sites on your behalf. When you give Hyport access to a third-party site, or request that Hyport establish an account with a third-party site, you agree that you have read all contracts and written agreements governing such access, login information and passwords and that you have all the necessary contractual and legal rights to give Hyport such access, login information and passwords. In addition, you authorize Hyport to use the functionality of such third-party site on your behalf, in any manner Hyport sees fit. Hyport will take actions such as registering you with such third-party site and managing and accessing your account and information (including listing and profile information) on such third-party site. Because of the interconnected nature of the internet, your information posted to third-party sites may be difficult to remove. For example, even if your information is removed from or updated on a third-party site, it may persist on other websites (including other websites) or may be cached in search engine indexes.

11. Hosting Transition Assistance.

    1. transferring ownership of any domain that Hyport may have obtained on your behalf;
    2. working with you to enable you to have continued access to your presence on third- party sites (for example, by providing you with instructions on how to transfer the accounts; provided, Hyport will not provide or transfer to you any Hyport-hosted e-mail addresses or passwords);
    3. providing a disk or other method to transfer you the Custom Content; and
    4. providing such other assistance as Hyport may choose to provide in Hyport’s sole discretion.
    5. After the Transition Period, Hyport will have no further obligation to provide you assistance, and Hyport shall have the right, but not the obligation, to delete all of your Client Content. You acknowledge and agree, however, that Hyport is under no obligation to remove any content that has been disseminated to third-party sites. After the Transition Period, Hyport will not be able to transition your site back to the content management if you wish to do so in the future.

A One-Page Website includes one (1) page of original and/or migrated content or the equivalent presented on a single scrolling page, up to 10 licensed graphic images. You must provide your own domain for the One-Page Website. Notwithstanding any provision of these Web Design Terms to the contrary, with respect to One-Page Websites (i) Sections 1, 7(a)(i)-(ii), and 11 of the Web Design Terms are not applicable; and (ii) upon execution of an Order Form and for so long as an Order Form is in effect that includes the One-Page Website and your account is in good standing Hyport hereby grants you, a limited, revocable (as set forth herein), non-transferable, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to your One-Page Website solely on such sites, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 7(a)(iii) and otherwise in these Website Terms, and provided further that such license does not permit you, and you agree not to, store, copy, reproduce, republish, modify, upload, post, translate, distribute, transfer, transmit, display or otherwise distribute in any way the Hyport Materials, except as specifically permitted in these Web Design Terms. If you fail to pay applicable Fees when due, Hyport may immediately revoke such license, make your One-Page Website inaccessible and you will no longer have any rights to your One-Page Website.
