Smarter by Design Hosting
(referred to hereafter as "we" or "us") has a responsibility to
ensure that each of our clients is provided with the best services
we have available. While we back up files continuously, we are in
no way responsible for the archiving of a site. It is the sole responsibility
of the site creator to copy, back-up or archive all files that constitute
a web site.
The
following guidelines also apply:
- Content: All services provided by us may be used for
lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation
of any information, data, or material in violation of any United
States Federal, State, or Local law is prohibited. This includes,
but is not limited to copyrighted material, material we judge
to be threatening or obscene or material protected by trade
secret and other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify
and hold us harmless from any claims resulting from the use
of the service, which damages the subscriber or any other party.
Pornography and sex-related merchandising is prohibited on all
of our servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content
or links to adult content elsewhere. We will be the sole arbiter
in determining violations of this provision. Also prohibited
are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content
that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the
Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited. Examples
of unacceptable content or links: - Pirated software - Hacker
programs or archives - Warez sites We will be the sole arbiter
as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Top
- Unlimited Traffic/Courtesy Policy. We are pleased to
offer our clients unlimited Web page traffic with the only consideration
being our Courtesy Policy. This Policy has been created so that
one customer does not take an unfair portion of server traffic,
a situation that for 99% of our customers is never a consideration
- Restrictions. To maintain the integrity of our service,
the following restrictions apply: -
- Sites offering download files. (This is any site where
20% or more of their monthly traffic is from file downloads)
-
- Sites using more than 20% of system resources. We will
be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of
this provision.
- Commercial Advertising - Email: Spamming, or the sending
of unsolicited email, from any of our servers or using an
email address or domain that is maintained on our servers
as reference is STRICTLY prohibited. We will be the sole
arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
- Chat Rooms and Forums We do not allow clients to install
their own chat rooms or forums. These tend to be a large
drain on system resources and we cannot allow it as an account
option.
- Background Running Programs We may allow programs to run
continually in the background. These are considered on a
case-by-case basis and an extra charge will be incurred
based on system resources used and operational maintenance
needed.
- IRC We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated
on our servers.
- Domain Pointing Domain pointers are to be used for the
purpose of having more than one way to find the same site,
not for the purposes of sharing an account among multiple
sites. A domain pointer may not be set up to reference a
subdirectory within an existing Web hosting account served
by us or any other provider.
- Server Abuse: Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to
a server or customer of ours is strictly prohibited, and
will result in immediate termination or prosecution.
- Refusal of Service: We reserve the right to refuse, cancel,
or suspend service at our sole discretion.
- Billing Problems and Termination: Accounts paid by credit
cards which are rejected by our online card processor are
grounds for termination. Because of the risk of credit card
fraud, any account which offers two bad credit cards within
any 6 month period will be subject to immediate termination.
All Sub-Networks, distributive hosting sites and dedicated
servers of ours must adhere to the above policies. Failure
to follow any term or condition will be grounds for immediate
account deactivation. Top
