It is the customer's responsibility to contact
NexStep if the customer wishes to terminate their
contract. Failure to do so may result in additional
charges to the customer. If the customer would
like to move their website and domain name, and
wishes Nexstep to transfer the domain name and
website there will be a $137.00 charge. If a customer
wishes to move their website and domain name on
their own, there will be no charge. NexStep
also may at any time suspend a customer's account
for any reason NexStep deems appropriate. Monthly
charges are not prorated. Termination or suspension
of a customer's account does not relieve the customer
of any charges due. Upon account termination,
