By submitting this Application (and any Publisher-provided, pre-printed addendum that has been approved by Publisher and is referenced on the cover of this Application) (collectively, the “Application”) I am requesting Publisher to publish advertising in the directory or directories that I have selected and listed on the cover section of this Application (“Directory” or “Directories”) for the number of issues of each such Directory or Directories indicated on the cover section of this Application or on a pre-printed addendum . The Directory or Directories in which I am requesting Publisher to publish advertising may include one or more print or CD-ROM Directories (“Print Directory” or “Print Advertising”) or the Hawaiian Telcom Services Company internet service that is published electronically on the Internet (“Internet Directory” or “Internet Advertising”). Internet Advertising also includes websites or other items requested on the cover section of this Application that are linked to the Internet Directory. The “date of the Application” is the date I signed this Application or, if I authorized the advertising covered by this Application by telephone, the date of such authorization. “I” or “Advertiser” means the person who is the subject of the advertising described in this Application. I may be an individual, corporation or other entity or organization.SECTION 2 PUBLISHER NOT BOUND TO PUBLISH I understand that this Application is not an agreement by Publisher to publish my advertising and Publisher may choose not to publish my advertising. Publisher may also choose not to publish any Directory. I understand that Publisher will be bound by this Application only if and when Publisher publishes my advertising, and that such publication will evidence Publisher’s agreement to publish my advertising on the terms set forth in this Application (but only as to the advertising published, and not as to any advertising listed on this Application but not published). Publication of my advertising in one issue of a Directory does not obligate Publisher to publish my advertising in any subsequent issue of the Directory. If Publisher does not publish my advertising, it will refund any money I previously paid for the advertising not published and have no further obligation to me, and I will have no further obligation to Publisher. SECTION 3 PAYMENT FOR ADVERTISING (a) Late Charges I will pay all bills for advertising by the due date on the bill. If I do not pay my bill by the due date, I will pay a late fee of 1.5% per month of the amount overdue. In addition, if I do not pay any bill within thirty (30) days of the due date on the bill, Publisher may require me to pay immediately all unpaid amounts I owe and will owe for all of my advertising in all Directories for the entire time the Print Directories remain in circulation and for the entire remainder of the term of any Internet Directories. Publisher may require me to pay any collection costs and attorney’s fees incurred by Publisher. Publisher also may remove my advertising from any Print Directory that has not been published or any Internet Directory. (b) Credit Approval I authorize Publisher to contact such third parties as Publisher may deem appropriate (including without limitation, any of Advertiser’s banks, creditors and any credit reporting agency) for the purpose of verifying any information provided by Advertiser in connection with this Application and obtaining credit information regarding Advertiser. (c) Restrictive Covenants and Conditional Endorsements No acceptance of any payment or instrument marked with any restrictive covenant or other limited or conditional endorsement shall be deemed a waiver of any of Publisher’s rights under this Application. (d) Billing Party Bills for advertising may be submitted by Publisher, by an affiliate of Publisher, or by an unrelated party. I understand my obligations to Publisher, as they may arise throughout the period covered by this Application, shall not be enlarged or reduced as a result of any act, or failure to act, by Publisher with respect to billing or by any other billing party pursuant to the terms of its agreement with Publisher pertaining to the submission of bills on behalf of Publisher. SECTION 4 ADVERTISING CONTENT (a) Advertising Copy “Advertising Copy” means all content that I provide to Publisher or that is otherwise included in my advertising, including without limitation content that I authorize or request Publisher to include, or that is submitted on-line by me or any person(s) using my password(s) (“Password User(s)”), and including each copyright, trademark, trade name, service mark and name, domain name, sub-domain, website design, template, look and feel, artwork, text, name, address, telephone number, email address, statement, portrait, picture or illustration of any person, or any other intellectual property. I will furnish all Advertising Copy to Publisher prior to the deadlines set by Publisher. Publisher has the right to approve the content, form, size, wording, typography and illustrations of the Advertising Copy. I understand that Publisher may change each name, street address, Internet address and telephone number(s) or any other content in the Advertising Copy to conform to Publisher’s standards, practices and policies or to the policies of InterNIC and any third parties upon whose site or network the Advertising Copy may be published by or through Publisher .

I represent that the Advertising Copy complies with all applicable laws and regulations. I represent that I have all of the applicable licenses and permits required to provide the goods and services I am advertising (or offering or selling in connection with my Internet Advertising) in all of the geographic areas covered by the Directory and to advertise under all of the headings under which I am seeking to place my advertising. I will notify Publisher immediately if I become aware of any facts or circumstances indicating that any of my representations in this Section are, or become, untrue. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that the size, color, font, highlighting and arrangement of enhanced listing items may be adjusted (from that appearing in any sales collateral or copy sheet and from web page to web page), and that the associated listing’s enhancement(s) may be omitted (e.g. the listing may appear as a basic listing) as a result of the user’s browser settings or the manner in which the listing is transferred to any third party prior to its display to the user. (b) Right to Use Advertising Copy I represent and warrant that I have the absolute and unrestricted right and authority to use any and all Advertiser Copy in any media and in (or in connection with) any listing or advertisement published under this Application in the way it is used in any such listing or advertisement (or in connection with such listing or advertisement). “Advertiser Copy” means all Advertising Copy except Advertising Copy provided by Publisher. I also represent and warrant that I have the right to provide the Advertiser Copy to Publisher and the right and authority to grant Publisher the additional rights afforded by these terms and conditions (including without limitation Section 4(c) below). If my right and authority to use any Advertiser Copy, or any portion of any Advertiser Copy, changes or any proceedings contesting that right and authority are begun, I will give Publisher written notice promptly. I agree that I am solely responsible for the enforcement and protection of any of my intellectual property included in (or in connection with) my advertising. If Publisher creates or supplies any Advertising Copy for me, I agree that: (i) I am responsible for the content, but that Publisher retains all rights in and/or ownership of any such Advertising Copy and I shall not have any right therein except as expressly set forth in this Application; (ii) Publisher reserves the right to supply such Advertising Copy to other advertisers; (iii) I have no right to use advertising developed with content created or supplied by Publisher except in connection with this Application; and (iv) I shall not have the right to allow others to use such advertising or any such content.

Publisher and its sublicensees may use any presently existing and future means of communications or transmission in their exercise of any of the rights and licenses granted above, without limitation. I further (1) represent and warrant that I am authorized to grant Publisher the rights, licenses and authorizations referenced above without the consent or authorization of any third party, and that the exercise of any such rights, licenses and authorizations by Publisher and its sublicensees will not infringe on any copyright or other intellectual property right, or right of publicity or privacy rights of any other person or entity, and (2) waive any and all rights of attribution and integrity and other statutory and common law rights of every kind relating to any Advertising Copy.

(e) Advertising Including Information on Pricing and Promotions I agree that, in addition to otherwise complying with all policies, specifications and standards issued by Publisher with respect to pricing and/or discount percentage advertising, I will honor the prices or discount percentages quoted in my Print Advertising during the entire circulation period of the Print Directory or until a published expiration date, whichever occurs first, and that I will honor the prices or discount percentages quoted in my Internet Advertising (and online changes thereto) until it is removed from the Internet Directory or until a published expiration date, whichever occurs first. Since circulation periods can change, Advertisers are encouraged to include expiration dates in any advertising that includes this type of information. If I have authorized Publisher to include my advertising in more than one issue of a Directory, I will notify Publisher prior to the close date(s) for issues after the first issue if I wish to change the prices or discount percentages quoted in my advertising. SECTION 5 LOCATION OF ADVERTISEMENTS AND HEADINGS I understand that Publisher will determine all headings that will appear in the Directory. Publisher may refuse to publish my advertising under a particular heading at its sole discretion. Publisher does not guarantee the position of my advertising on any specific page or position on a page of any Print Directory or under a specific heading or position within a heading in any Print or Internet Directory, or at any specific place, position, or location on the Internet Directory web page(s) or Directory listings for the World Wide Web (“WWW”), or at a specific URL address on the internet.

Headings are included for the user’s convenience, and Publisher does not warrant or guarantee that each Advertiser under a given heading provides the service or product described in that heading or conforms to all applicable legal or regulatory requirements for providing that product or service.

I AGREE: (1) THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT I MAY RECOVER FROM PUBLISHER RELATED TO THIS APPLICATION WILL NOT EXCEED THE SUM OF THE MONTHLY CHARGES I HAVE PAID FOR THE ITEMS OF ADVERTISING AT ISSUE; AND (2) TO WAIVE ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES EXCEED THIS AMOUNT. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
