• No online gambling
• No Spam, No unsolicited e-mailing
• No Warez, cracks, copyright infringement
12) Server abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of us is strictly prohibited.
13) Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers
We will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning etc.
Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to us, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.
14) Abuse of Unlimited Traffic and/or Unlimited Storage
If one of our hosting plans offers unlimited traffic and/or unlimited storage for the client web sites, the intention is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an offsite storage area for electronic files. All of your web pages (html) must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on our server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of our management. To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply to such hosting plans:
• Sites with Banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domain
• Sites with picture galleries (This is any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics)
• Sites offering download files or archives. (This is any site where more than 50% of the monthly traffic is from file downloads)
If you do not qualify for the unlimited service, traffic will go unmonitored until you reach 2GB per month. Thereafter, extra data transfer cost of $5/1GB/month will be billed to your account.
We will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision
14) Commercial advertisements with e-mail
Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account suspension or cancellation.
Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such.
Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five or six recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. E-mail is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium.
15) Background Running Programs
In addition to these CLIENT agrees not to run any kind of 'server applications'. Every program/script that opens a port on the shared hosting server is considered a 'server application'. These include but are not limited to IRC servers, IRC proxies, IRC bots.CLIENT understands that the services are subject to immediate termination without compensation for non-compliance with the policies. Further, CLIENT will be responsible for the full amount of any tangible and intangible damages this may cause. PROVIDER reserves the right to change the policies from time to time to reflect the dynamic nature of the Internet. Both policies are available on-line any time or as a hard copy by request only.
16) Payment Policies
All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. Setup fees may be charged for all new accounts and major account changes. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. We reserves the right to change prices at any time. Any account not brought current within a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies us in writing for a request for termination of services. Credit card information is stored on file and will be auto-billed on the due date of the account. Email notification will be sent to you prior to your hosting renewal date.
