regardless of installation method. When at all possible, set
permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as
possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken

such as username and password. It is required that you use a
secure password.

doubts whatsoever about the legality of material, please contact

We will be more than happy to tell you if something is
acceptable under the Terms.
No Tolerance for Spam
The Company does not tolerate the use of any
account for spam. Any user caught sending out spam, or any
variant thereof as deemed by the Company, may have their account
terminated immediately.
Payment Information
All payments are due, via PayPal, no later
than three days after the Customer's initial purchase. Unless
the Customer cancels, the Customer automatically agrees to pay
the required fees on a recurring basis as deemed by the initial
sale.
We reserve the right to change any monthly
charges with 30 days prior notice. Within this time the Customer
can either cancel the service or agree to the charges.
The Customer may cancel their service at
anytime. Within 30 days of signup, the total amount of the web
hosting portion (not inclusive of domain registration fees -
valued at $9.95 per year) will be refunded. After the 30 days,
refunds will be processed on a prorated basis for any unused
time. Any costs to register the domain name will not be refunded
under any circumstances.
Cancellations due to violations of the Terms
will not be refunded.
Use of Resources
The Customer may not:
-
Use 25% or more of system
resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous
activities that could cause such problems; these include:
CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc...
-
Run stand-alone, unattended
server-side processes at any point in time on the server.
This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
-
Run any type of web spider
or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared
servers.
-
Run any software that
interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.

Run any bit torrent
application, tracker, or client. Please note that you may
not link to torrents off server, not host or store them.

file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities.
-
Run any gaming servers such
as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Battlefield1942, etc...
-
Run cron entries with
intervals of less than 15 minutes.
Please also note that when using
PHP include functions for including a local file, include the
local file rather than the URL. Instead of
include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php"), please use
include("include.php").
Every month you are allocated a
certain level of bandwidth. If you pass this amount, we reserve
the right to suspend your account until the next billing cycle
month. The Customer will usually, but not always, be given the
opportunity to purchase additional bandwidth. The Company is not
responsible, however, for providing the Customer with the excess
bandwidth, and is idemnified from any losses incurred from the
service outage.
Indemnification
Customer agrees that it shall
defend, indemnify, save and hold the Company harmless from any
and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims,
including reasonable attorney's fees asserted against the
Company, its agents, its customers, officers and employees, that
may arise or result from any service provided or performed or
agreed to be performed or any product sold by its Customers, its
agents, employees or assigns. Customer agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company against liabilities
arising out of; (1) any injury to person or property caused by
any products sold or otherwise distributed in connection with
the Company; (2) any material supplied by customer infringing or
allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party;
(3) copyright infringement and (4) any defective products sold
to customers from the Company's server.
Arbitration
By using any of the Company's
services, you agree to submit to binding arbitration. If any
disputes or claims arise against the Company or its
subsidiaries, such disputes will be handled by an arbitrator of
the Company's choice. An arbitrator from the Canadian
Arbitration Association will be selected in the province of
Ontario. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and
shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. All
decisions rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final.
The arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties. The
Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state arbitration law,
governs all arbitration under this Arbitration Clause. You are
also responsible for any and all costs related to such
arbitration.

Disclosure
We will never, ever sell,
rent, or give away your personal information. We do reserve the
right, however, to login to your customer account as needed.
Examples include, but are not limited to, instances whereby a
claim is submitted against the Company and allegations of
copyright infringement. The Company may disclose any subscriber
information to law enforcement agencies without further consent
or notification to the subscriber upon lawful request from such
agencies. We will cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies.
