AGREEMENT
This
agreement is between Web Indus Networks and the on-line
individual or entity who is applying for Web Hosting
Services, (hereinafter referred to as CLIENT). CLIENT
agrees to an on-line, paperless subscription service,
which will be automatically charged on a recurring basis
until the service is explicitly cancelled by either
CLIENT or PROVIDER. CLIENT acknowledges that all
information provided by CLIENT is true and correct to
the best of Client's knowledge. CLIENT agrees that the
act of submitting an online application form constitutes
acceptance of all terms and conditions associated with
the services applied for and that the act of online
submission shall be in lieu of written signature.
AUTHORIZATIONS.
CLIENT
will use Provider's services in a manner consistent with
all applicable local, state, and federal regulations and
laws. CLIENT agrees to pay and authorizes PROVIDER to
charge all fees due using the payment information
provided by CLIENT at the time of application.
DISCLAIMER.
PROVIDER
will not be responsible for any damages suffered by
CLIENT. PROVIDER'S service is provided on an "as
is, as available" basis. PROVIDER gives no
warranty, expressed or implied, for the Provider's
services, including without limitation, any warranty of
merchantability or warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose. This includes loss of data resulting from
delays, non-deliveries, wrong delivery, and any and all
service interruptions caused by PROVIDER and its
employees. Any damages incurred by CLIENT due to
disruption of service by PROVIDER or its providers shall
be expressly limited to the fees paid by CLIENT to
PROVIDER for services and shall under no circumstances
include reimbursement for losses of income or other
consequential damages claimed by CLIENT.
INDEMNIFICATION.
CLIENT
agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save and hold
PROVIDER harmless from any and all demands, liabilities,
losses, costs and claims, including reasonable
attorney's fees asserted against PROVIDER, 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 customer, it's
agents, employees or assigns. CLIENT agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold PROVIDER harmless against liabilities
arising out of; (1) any injury to person or property
caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed in
connection with a PROVIDER server; (2) any material
supplied by CLIENT infringing or allegedly infringing on
the proprietary rights of a third party and (3)
copyright infringement.
PROVIDER
expects that its CLIENTS will fully comply with all
applicable laws. A customer's failure to comply with
those laws will violate this policy. Finally, PROVIDER
wishes to emphasize that in accepting services, CLIENTS
indemnify PROVIDER for the violation of any law or
PROVIDER policy that results in loss to PROVIDER or the
bringing of any claim against PROVIDER. This means,
among other things, that if PROVIDER is sued because of
activities of the customer that violate any law, or this
policy, the customer will pay any damages awarded
against PROVIDER plus costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees.
CLIENT
RESPONSIBILITIES.
Effective
use of Provider's services presumes a certain degree of
knowledge and skill on the part of the CLIENT. For
example, it is presumed that CLIENT possesses at least a
rudimentary knowledge of Internet-related processes and
software applications such as e-mail, FTP, Telnet, and
web-browsing. Creating and publishing a web site on
Provider's servers will require some knowledge of either
HTML programming or the use of HTML editors, such as
Microsoft FrontPage. Certain advanced applications may
require a certain level of competence with CGI/Perl
programming applications. In lieu of already-established
knowledge and skill levels, patience, a desire and
ability to learn, and perhaps a little courage will be
required. PROVIDER will not be held responsible for
Client's inability to use Provider's services due to
Client's lack of the requisite knowledge and skills.
NOTIFICATIONS.
PROVIDER
relies on e-mail as the primary means of notifying
Clients of important system news, problems with Clients'
accounts or usage of those accounts, billing problems,
etc. Any notifications will be e-mailed to CLIENT
domain's primary e-mail address and/or to the contact
e-mail address provided by CLIENT upon application for
services. CLIENT agrees to monitor these e-mail
addresses on a regular basis and to respond promptly, if
required, to any notifications. CLIENT agrees to notify
PROVIDER of any changes to Client's physical or e-mail
address, telephone numbers, etc.
POLICY
CHANGES.
These
policies may change with or without notice. CLIENT
agrees to comply with these policies in their current
and future state. CLIENT agrees to periodically review
published policies to ensure understanding of and
compliance with current policies.
REFUSAL
OF SERVICE.
PROVIDER
reserves the right to refuse or cancel service at
Provider's sole discretion, with or without reason, with
or without warning.
ACCEPTANCE.
CLIENT
expressly understands, acknowledges, and agrees that in
submitting an application and paying for any and all
services to be rendered by PROVIDER, CLIENT shall abide
by all Terms and Conditions stated herein.
JURISDICTION.
CLIENT
agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the applicable
municipal, county, state or federal court of Provider's
physical residence for any litigation, mediation, or
arbitration which may arise from any dispute concerning
any of the provisions herein. Controlling law shall be
that of the State of Provider's residence. The
prevailing party in any litigation hereunder shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and
court costs.
USER-SUPPLIED
CONTENT.
All
services may be used for lawful purposes only. Through
Provider's Service, CLIENT may have access to chat
areas, bulletin boards, web pages, email, or other
services that enable CLIENT to send or post materials
("content") and make that content available to
others. CLIENT must not submit, publish, or display on
the Network any defamatory, inaccurate, abusive,
obscene, infringing, or threatening content. In
addition, CLIENT may not submit, publish, or display any
content that violates any US Federal, State, or Local
law. CLIENT is solely responsible for the content made
accessible through the Network. CLIENT may not use the
Service to assist any other person or entity to violate
any Federal, State, or Local laws, ordinances, or
regulations.
PROVIDER
is not obligated to monitor the network to examine
available content. CLIENT hereby acknowledges that if
PROVIDER is made aware of content that is determined to
be, in Provider's sole discretion, unacceptable,
undesirable, offensive, indecent, obscene, excessively
violent or otherwise objectionable, PROVIDER has the
right, but not the obligation, to edit, remove or deny
access to such content. PROVIDER may disclose any
content or records concerning Client's account as
required to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental
request or court order.
Pornography
and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on all
servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual
content, display nudity, or link to adult content
elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any
illegal activity or content that may be damaging to
Provider's servers or any other server on the Internet.
Links to such materials are also prohibited. In
addition, any site selling or promoting bulk e-mail
service is not allowed.
EXAMPLES
OF PROHIBITED SERVICES.
The
following content and activities may not be displayed or
promoted by CLIENT nor associated in any way with
Client's account or Provider's services. PROVIDER shall
be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes violation of
this provision.
- Transmission,
storage, or presentation of any information, data or
material in violation.
- Copyrighted
material used without permission.
- Material
or activities judged by PROVIDER to be threatening,
obscene, disparaging, or hate-related.
- Material
protected by trade secret or other statute.
- Pornography,
nudity, erotica, and sex-related merchandising,
including sites that may infer sexual content, or
link to adult content elsewhere.

other server on the Internet.
- Pirated
software (wares).

distributed MP3 media.
- Harassing,
annoying, or otherwise interfering with any
person's, group's, or organization's use or
enjoyment of the Internet experience.
- Links
or reference to any of the above.
NETWORK
SECURITY
CLIENT
may not use Provider's Network in an attempt to
circumvent user authentication or security of any host,
network, or account. This includes, but is not limited
to, accessing data not intended for the CLIENT, logging
into a server or account the CLIENT is not expressly
authorized to access, password cracking, probing the
security of other networks in search of weakness, or
violation of any other organization's security policy.
CLIENT may not attempt to interfere or deny service to
any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not
limited to, flooding, mail bombing, or other deliberate
attempts to overload or crash a host or network.
PROVIDER will cooperate fully with investigations of
violations of systems or network security at other
sites, including cooperating with law enforcement
authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal
violations. Users who violate system or network security
may incur criminal or civil liability.
CGI/PERL
APPLICATIONS.
Each
account comes with its own cgi-bin. CLIENT is free to
use any CGI script desired; however PROVIDER reserves
the right to disable any CGI script that adversely
affects normal server performance or network integrity.
CGI-script sharing with domains not hosted by PROVIDER
is not allowed
CRON
ACCESS.
Cron
access may be enabled on a case-by-case review basis.
Cron jobs shall be limited to one per day, and must be
scheduled to run between midnight and 5 a.m. To request
cron tab access, e-mail support with a description of the
application you wish to run.
BACKGROUND
RUNNING APPLICATIONS.
Background
daemons in general are prohibited. PROVIDER will
consider requests to allow these applications on a
case-by-case review basis. If allowed, extra charges
will be assessed based on resources and system
maintenance needed.
SERVER
RESOURCES
Any
web site that uses a high amount of server resources
(such as, but not limited to CPU time, memory usage, and
network resources) will be given an option of either
upgrading their service level or reducing the resource
used to an acceptable level.
UNSOLICITED
E-MAIL (SPAM).
Provider's
servers may not be the source, intermediary, or
destination address involved in the transmission of
unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE), unsolicited commercial
e-mail (UCE), Spam, off-topic newsgroup posts, flames,
or mail bombs. Client's domain may not be referenced or
traceable in any way as a result of any of the above.
PROVIDER reserves the right to refuse and/or cancel
service to known spammers. PROVIDER reserves the sole
right to determine what constitutes violation of this
provision.
SPAM
is any unsolicited e-mail, post, or facsimile in the
newsgroup, e-mail, fax, or other electronic medium. Any
unsolicited commercial email (no matter how relevant or
important it may be) is Spam; any unsolicited bulk email
(commercial or not) is also Spam. Mass and unsolicited
are not concurrent conditions for Spam. One and/or the
other is sufficient. In the medium of newsgroups, Spam
is considered to be any off-topic posting and/or any
identical posting to multiple newsgroups.
Any
Spam complaints received about CLIENT domains are
addressed seriously. After investigation, if it is
deemed by PROVIDER that spamming practices have indeed
been utilized on Provider's servers, PROVIDER reserves
the right to terminate a domain account immediately with
no refund and to assess a $500 penalty per Spam
incident. CLIENT expressly accepts Provider's right to
assess this penalty and agrees to its assessment and
payment.
Clarification
on UCE and UBE. Unsolicited commercial e-mail is,
simply put, sending an email to someone you don't
personally know or a company you don't have a
relationship with. If you come upon e-mail addresses in
a web site you visit, the simple existence of an e-mail
address in a web-site does not imply acceptance of
unsolicited commercial e-mails. A request for link
reciprocation is just that, unsolicited and commercial.
Unless, of course, a working relationship already exists
between you and the other party. Unsolicited bulk e-mail
is the sending of UCE to more than one recipient at a
time.
SERVER
ABUSE.
Any
attempts to undermine or cause harm to any server is
strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited
to attempting to gain access to password files other
than your own, attempting to gain unauthorized access to
other accounts on your server, or anything that causes
server malfunction. Failure to comply is subject to
immediate account deactivation without refund.
Please
note that while CGI/PERL scripts and/or mSQL/mySQL code
can unintentionally cause server malfunction, PROVIDER
will make the final determination if the code was
maliciously programmed. If the code was programmed
incorrectly but not out of apparently malicious intent,
PROVIDER will disable the program, but not cancel
Client's account.
TRAFFIC.
CLIENT
account receives a monthly traffic/bandwidth allocation
according to the type of account applied for. No per-hit
charges or limitations apply. Due to the unique resource
characteristics and traffic.
For
those accounts that do not qualify for
"normal" traffic guidelines, traffic will go
unmonitored up to 3 gigabytes. Thereafter, normal data
transfer costs will apply.
PROVIDER
will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision.
TRAFFIC
OVERAGES.
PROVIDER
will make every reasonable effort to notify CLIENT of
projected traffic overages prior to any action being
taken to disable Client's account. However, PROVIDER
reserves the right to disable Client's account without
prior warning due to traffic in excess of the account
allocation. In some cases, "unusual" traffic
patterns will cause an automatic disablement of Client's
account without warning.
Bandwidth
usage is calculated weekly around midnight on Monday
morning. A monthly projection is calculated at that time
based upon month-to-date actual usage. If the projection
exceeds the account allocation, an e-mail warning is
sent to the CLIENT. If actual bandwidth usage exceeds
the allocation, the account is automatically disabled;
the CLIENT is notified via e-mail of the disablement,
and is given the option of purchasing additional
bandwidth to re-enable the account. CLIENT is not
automatically charged for excess bandwidth usage without
agreeing to the charges in advance. However, payment for
excess bandwidth usage will be required before the
account can be re-enabled.
TECHNICAL
SUPPORT.
While
PROVIDER will make every reasonable effort to help
Clients with all of their questions, there are some
times when PROVIDER must either refer CLIENT to the
manual, or confess an inability to help. It is
impossible for PROVIDER to support all of the countless
3rd party programs and configurations that are available
to web developers and users today.
To
assist CLIENT in knowing PROVIDER support boundaries,
here's a guideline to what's supported and what's not.
What's
Supported:
Server-Side
Issues such as:
Client-Side
Issues such as:
What's
Not Supported:
RESOLD
WEB SPACE.
CLIENT
may subdivide and give away or resell for profit web
space and other services on Client's account to other
users. Client's clients must adhere to these policies
and guidelines, too. Any infraction from CLIENT domain,
regardless of the source, shall be treated as a
violation by the CLIENT. If an infraction is serious
enough (server tampering, Spam, etc.), CLIENT account
can and will be cancelled without refund, without
warning.
Monitoring
Resold Server Space. It is up to the CLIENT as a
reseller to monitor resold web space. PROVIDER cannot
apply server space restrictions to any directory.
Technical
Support for Resold Web Space. CLIENT shall be the
first point of contact for resold web space. PROVIDER
will not support Client's clients directly.
DOMAIN
NAME REGISTRATION.
PROVIDER
will provide reasonable assistance to CLIENT in the area
of domain name registration and modification. Reasonable
assistance may include submission of registration or
modification requests to appropriate domain name
registration agencies and/or supplying CLIENT with the
necessary information to effect registration or
modification of CLIENT domain. PROVIDER will not,
under any circumstances, make changes to any part of a
domain name record except name server and technical
contact information relating to the pointing of CLIENT
domain name to Provider's servers.
CLIENT
is responsible for payment of all applicable domain name
registration and renewal fees, with the following
exception:
FREE
DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
PROVIDER
will pay Client's domain name registration fees under
the following conditions:
- Client's
domain name registration is provided by enom
Registration Service Provider.
- Client's
domain name is associated as the primary domain name
with an active, qualifying hosting account.
- The
active hosting account is in good standing for at
least three consecutive months during the domain
name registration period.
- For
Domain Name Reservations, PROVIDER will pay the
first year's registration fees, and CLIENT will be
responsible for payment of subsequent years' fees.
If
any of these conditions are not met, CLIENT expressly
agrees to accept any charges related to domain name
registration that may result. CLIENT acknowledges that
domain name registration fees are non-refundable, and
are explicitly excluded from any warranties or
guarantees that may otherwise apply to Client's account
with PROVIDER. In the event of
CLIENT
bears all responsibility for ensuring effective
cancellation of CLIENT account. This responsibility
includes providing effective and authenticated
notification to PROVIDER of Client's desire to cancel an
account. This responsibility shall not be waived or
modified by PROVIDER or CLIENT in any way at any time
subsequent to the submission by CLIENT of an application
for PROVIDER account. PROVIDER will act immediately to
implement Client's cancellation notice, providing the
terms of this cancellation policy have been followed.
CLIENT
must provide effective notice of cancellation at least
24 hours prior to the expiration of the current paid
hosting period in order to avoid charges for future
hosting periods. All charges will cease immediately upon
Provider's receipt of notice of cancellation. No refunds
are provided for unused services after the first 30 days
of account activation.
Accounts
may be cancelled by Telephone . To protect CLIENT
against bogus or malicious account cancellation,
cancellation requests must be authenticated by:
- Providing
the original account password provided with initial
account setup; and/or
- providing
the first 4 and last 4 digits of the credit
card number or checking account number used to pay
for the account.
All
cancellation requests are processed and confirmed via
email by PROVIDER within 24 hours of receipt of the
cancellation request. Requests for cancellations to take
effect on some future date and time will not be accepted
-- submission of the cancellation request form shall be
assumed to be authorization for immediate account
cancellation. At the time of cancellation, all services
related to the account will be terminated, and all files
remaining on the account will be permanently deleted
from Provider's servers.
If
CLIENT does not receive confirmation of cancellation,
cancellation can not be assumed to have been effected.
It is Client's responsibility to ensure that a
cancellation confirmation is forthcoming from PROVIDER.
The purpose of requiring confirmation of cancellation is
to protect both CLIENT and PROVIDER from inaccurate
claims of cancellation and notification.
If
CLIENT has a balance due at the time of cancellation,
this balance must be paid in full. Cancellation does not
absolve CLIENT of any outstanding financial obligations.
If
CLIENT is taking advantage of Provider's free domain
registration and renewal offer, and the account has not
met the minimum commitment or other requirements
provided under the terms and conditions of that offer,
CLIENT will be automatically charged all applicable
domain registration fees at the time of cancellation.
PROVIDER
does not monitor account usage or the status of domain
name records on Provider's servers. If CLIENT transfers
CLIENT domain without notifying PROVIDER of a desire to
cancel the account, or if CLIENT allows domain
registration to expire without renewal, CLIENT will
continue to be charged/billed, even if PROVIDER learns
that CLIENT domain has been transferred or expired.
Provider's services are independent of account usage and
domain name records, and remain in effect regardless of
the status of Client's domain name record.
PROVIDER
implements the latest technology for providing a secure
and encrypted environment for information protection.
There is no guarantee that the information on the
Internet is absolutely secure and may never be
destroyed. CLIENT agrees to indemnify and hold PROVIDER
harmless in case of information loss or loss of privacy.
PROVIDER
is not responsible for any damages arising from Client's
use of or by Client's inability to use the server, web
hosting packages, or any other services for any reason.
PROVIDER
shall make every reasonable effort to protect and backup
data for CLIENT on a regular basis. PROVIDER is not
responsible for Client's files. CLIENT is solely
responsible for their independent backup of data stored
on Provider's server and network. PROVIDER assesses a
fee for backup restore of lost data.
PROVIDER
is not liable for and does not guarantee the protection
or privacy of electronic mail or information transferred
through the Internet or any other public network.
PROVIDER
maintains control and ownership of any and all IP
numbers and addresses that may be assigned to CLIENT and
reserves in its sole discretion the right to change or
remove any and all IP numbers and addresses.
CLIENT
shall keep the rights of ownership and use of Client's
domain name registration and files even if client
changes providers, with the following exception:
PROVIDER maintains a possessor lien on Client's domain
name and files from the date that associated fees are
unpaid and due, including late fees or other charges,
and for expenses reasonably incurred in collection of
those fees. In the event of the exercise of this lien,
release of Client's domain name and/or files shall be at
the sole discretion of PROVIDER.
In
case of disputes regarding authority over domain names,
PROVIDER will follow industry standard practice of
giving ultimate authority to the domain name registrant.
PROVIDER
maintains control and ownership of any copyright,
proprietary and/or licensed software, scripts, programs,
images, or other electronic data or media installed
and/or provided by PROVIDER.
CHECK

PAST
DUE ACCOUNTS
All
payments are due approximately 5 - 10 days prior to the
start date of Client's account hosting period. If
payment is not received by the due date, PROVIDER will
send notifications/reminders via e-mail to Client's
primary contact e-mail address. If CLIENT does not
respond to that notification, the following actions will
be taken:
- Account
Suspension - Hosting Period Start Date
If Client's account is not paid in full by the
hosting period start date, Client's account will be
disabled -- all web, e-mail, FTP, and other access
to the account will be non-functional. The account
will be reactivated within 10 days of the
disablement, upon receipt of payment plus a 100.00
account reactivation fee.
- Account
Cancellation - 10 days after Suspension
If payment is not received within 10 days after
account suspension, the account will be queued for
automatic cancellation and deletion.
- Account
Reactivation After Cancellation
Once an account has been placed in the cancellation
queue, it must remain disabled for at least 36
hours. After 36 hours, but before 7 days, CLIENT may
request reactivation of the account by paying the
account balance plus a 300.00 account restore fee.
After the seventh day, the account is
"officially" cancelled and all files
associated with the account are permanently removed
from the servers. At this point, the account cannot
be reactivated, but CLIENT can request a
"new" account for the domain. If
necessary, files can be restored from tape backups
and placed on the new account within 30 days of
cancellation for the normal backup restore fee of
500.
Waiver
/ Modification of Policy
PROVIDER may (or may not) choose to waive or modify the
enforcement of this Past Due Accounts policy if CLIENT
contacts PROVIDER prior to the payment due date to
discuss alternative payment methods. PROVIDER always
sends at least two e-mail notifications prior to account
suspension. CLIENT must respond to those
notifications in order to avoid automatic implementation
of the above actions.
