Terms of Service Agreement

1. Scope of Services
MaddenLeagues.Net handles the initial development of each hosted league site, as well as web hosting, technical support, and all other related issues regarding the site. Additional source code changes and or major modifications that are not part of the initial development will be accepted on an 'as inquired' basis and will be billed at the rate of $20.00/hour with a 1 hour minimum.

2. Ownership of Intellectual Property

The PHP source code files are protected by the ZendŽ Guard software package.

The licensee is NOT authorized and agrees NOT to attempt to decompile or reverse-engineer any of the PHP source code. MaddenLeagues.Net retains all intellectual property rights of the source code and league site template unless otherwise specified.

The ZendŽ encoded source PHP pages prevents the modification of individual pages.

Assistance for doing this can be provided upon request.

Payment dates are determined by your signup date and are recurring according to PayPal's subscription service.

If payment for service fails on the second attempt, you will be sent a non-payment notice in which you will either need to re-subscribe with a different payment method. If after 24 hours, payment for service still has not been made, the account will be suspended temporarily until payment matters are resolved.
