"d. After expiry of any free periods provided by MYOB, MYOB will offer you the ability to enter into a further contract for the services (subject to MYOB continuing to provide the services beyond the initial applicable free period and MYOB’s terms and conditions). MYOB is responsible for notifying you of any renewal fees that apply after the expiry of the relevant free periods and the consequences of non- renewal. e. Google is not responsible for registering your domain name, creating your website, hosting your website or ensuring the continuance of the domain name in your name. f. Your agreement with MYOB for the services they will provide is bound by their terms and conditions which can be found here: www.myobatlas.com/termsandconditions and http://www.myobatlas.com/termsofuse"; So it appears that Google do not want to be held responsible for the offer or client relationship with MYOB. Hmm... You would certainly want to know what you are or are not entitled to do with what you deem to be 'your' web site after the free period. I am yet to find any indication of the ongoing fees associated with "entering into a further contract" after the free period and I would hate to see a small business invest a lot of time (the real cost of a successful web presence), only to be in a situation where the contract to continue the site is less than desirable.
