MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT
This Master Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of
_____________, ______ ("the Effective Date") between SignupServer, Inc.
("SignupServer Inc.-a GJT company-"), and NetVoice identified below
("Client"). For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agrees as follows:
1. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT. Network Operation Services will be performed by
SSI for Net Voice Technologies. SSI has a custom label ISP program and
proprietary software for controlling multiple ISP's. SSI will provide
services for Client, so that Client will be able to market Virtual ISP
services under their name through SSI. SSI will setup and run services for
custom labeled ISP's that NetVoice allows on the network.
2. SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS. SSI shall not be liable for failure or delay
in performing its obligations hereunder if such failure or delay is due to
circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation,
acts of any government body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, fire,
flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption or delay in
transportation, unavailability of interruption or delay in
telecommunications or third party services, failure of third party software
or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or
equipment needed for provision of the Services. SSI will not be liable for
any damages for loss of service including complications occurring for the
faltering and method.
3. USER CONTENT AND CONDUCT. Client is solely responsible for the
content and any posting, data or transmissions using the Services (the
"Content"), or any other use of the Services by client or by any person or
entity Client permits to access the Services (a "Ser"). Client represents
and warrants that neither it nor any User will use the services for
unlawful purposes (including, without limitation, infringement of copyright
or trademark, misappropriation of trade secrets, wire fraud, invasion of
privacy, pornography, obscenity, defamation, and illegal use,
transportation or sale of tobacco, controlled substance and firearms), or
to interfere with, or disrupt, other, network users, network services or
network equipment. Disruptions include, without limitation, distribution
of unsolicited advertising or chain letters, repeated harassment of other
network users, wrongly impersonating another user, falsifying one's network
identity for improper or illegal purposes, sending unsolicited mass
e-mailings, propagation of computer viruses, and using the network to make
unauthorized entry to any other machine accessible location via the
network. SSI may suspend or terminate Services immediately, without prior
notice to Client. If SSI believes, in good faith, that Client or a User is
utilizing the services for any such illegal or disruptive purpose (SPAM
policy is the policy that is given to us by the network. Each ISP needs to
adhere to each of these network policies). Client shall defend, indemnify,
and hold harmless SSI from and against all liabilities, judgments, claims,
damages, settlements, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and litigation expenses) arising out of or relating to any and all
claims by any person relating to use of the Services, including, but not
limited to, use of Services without consent of the Client.

NOC Finances:
We will require a setup fee of $35,000 to outfit and configure a NOC, and
a base operations fee of $15,000 a month for services. This base fee will
be cut to $7,500 when customers levels reach 50k and will be completely
removed when a 100k customer base level is reached. We will require a
setup fee for no less than $1,000 for every ISP that we set up with
automation. A "per head" fee will also be assessed that includes

4.2 PAYMENT TERMS. The full amount of the setup fee will be required to
start any services by SSI. Thirty days after the NOC is up, base payment
will be due. Every month after, the base plus the "per head" fee will be
due. The recurring billing date shall be the day that the NOC is in place,
and that will establish the day of the month for reoccurring bills. For
accounts that are paid by credit cards, Client authorizes SSI to charge
recurring billing on the recurring billing date, until Client gives written
notice otherwise to SSI or until the expiration or termination of a Service
Order. Accounts that pay by check (limited to U.S. bank checks) will be
faxed and mailed an invoice on the recurring billing date any payment is
due immediately. SSI reserves the right to charge Client any sales, use,
excise, and a valorem, gross receipts, or any other tax or fees now
imposed, directly or indirectly, by any government authority or agency with
respect to the Services.
4.3 PRICING DISPUTES. Client must notify SSI in writing of any disputed
charge within 30 days of the date of the billing for such charges. If Client
does not notify SSI within that time period, Client has waived any right to
dispute such amounts, either directly or as a set-off, recoupment for
defense in any action or efforts to collect amounts due to SSI.
4.4 COLLECTIONS. All accounts more than 30 days past due will be charged
interest from the due date of the lessor of (i) 1.5% per month on the past
due amount: or (ii) the highest legal rate of interest. SSI may suspend,
interrupt, or terminate Services on any account that is past due by more
than thirty (30) calendar days, by disabling services. All accounts that
have not been paid in full may be sent by SSI to a collection agency. The
Client is responsible for paying all costs of collections, including, but
not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and where lawful, collection
agency fees. All accounting issues should be addressed to SSI at
