This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is designed to protect
ResellerServers.net, its customers and others
from illegal, malicious, damaging and inappropriate
behavior by customers of our services. Use of ResellerServers.net Services constitutes acceptance and agreement of
this AUP.
This AUP may be changed from time to
time at the discretion of ResellerServers.net. Customer understands
that change to the AUP by ResellerServers.net shall not be grounds
for early contract termination or non-payment.
IMPORTANT NOTE -
ResellerServers.net reserves the right to discontinue service,
or deny access to anyone who violates our AUP WITHOUT
WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds or fees paid will
be made if account termination is due to such violation.
SPAM, Unsolicited Bulk Email
(UBE) and Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE):
ResellerServers.net takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending
of UCE, UBE or SPAM over our network. ResellerServers.net defines
SPAM, UBE, or UCE as unsolicited broadcast or commercial
email that is sent to addresses that do not affirmatively
and verifiably request such material from that specific
sender.
Very simply this means that customers
of ResellerServers.net may not use or permit others to use our
network to transact in UCE, UBE or SPAM. Customers of
ResellerServers.net may not host, or permit hosting of, sites
or information that is advertised by UCE from other
networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties,
including termination of service without notice.
Examples of activities that include
SPAM include but not limited to:
• Any email that is sent to addresses that do
not affirmatively and verifiably request such material
from that specific sender.
• Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part
of the header information in any message.
• "Mail bombing" or sending numerous
copies of the same or substantially similar message
with the intent of disrupting a server or account.
• Spamming Newsgroups: Any advertisements in
newsgroups that bring about complaints.
• Mail that is used to harass or intimidate
others, whether through language, frequency of messages,
or size of messages. You must stop sending email to
a person when they request removal.
Any domain sending stealth SPAM will
be terminated without warning and without refund.
Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM
policy, ResellerServers.net will initiate an immediate investigation.
During the investigation, ResellerServers.net may restrict customer
access to the network to prevent further violations
by suspending the offending account. If a customer is
found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, ResellerServers.net may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend
or terminate customer's account. Further, ResellerServers.net
reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any
costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated
policy violation. ResellerServers.net will notify law enforcement
officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal
offense.
As our customers are ultimately responsible
for the actions of their clients over the ResellerServers.net
network, it is in customer's best interest that customers
develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.
Our customers will be held responsible for the
actions of their clients hosted on our network.
Server Abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server,
or customer, of ResellerServers.net is strictly prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited, to the following:
• Unauthorized use or access
of other people's accounts or computers, data access
or logging into a server or account. Possible actions
include warnings, account suspension or cancellation,
and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the
seriousness of the attack.
• Abuse of server resources.
• Displaying material that exploits children
under 18 years of age.
• Running IRC, bots or clients on shared servers.
• SPAM, pornographic content, illegal content,
copyright infringement, trademark infringement, warez,
cracks, software serial numbers, and/or anything else
determined by ResellerServers.net to be unacceptable use of
ResellerServers.net services.
• Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability
of a system or network or to breach security or authentication
measures of any host.
• Taking any action in order to obtain services
to which such customer is not entitled.
• Promoting or providing instructional information
about illegal activities, or promoting physical harm
or injury against any group or individual.
• Attempting to interfere with service to any
customer, host or network, including, without limitation,
through overloading, "flooding", "mail
bombing" or "crashing".
• Use of our services for creating or sending
Internet viruses, worms or Trojan horses, or for pinging,
flooding or mail bombing, or engaging in denial of
service attacks.
• Engaging in other activity that is intended
to disrupt or interfere with, or that results in the
disruption of or interference of, the ability of others
to effectively use our services (or any connected
network, system, service or equipment) or conduct
their business over the Internet.
• Providing material that is grossly offensive
to the Web community.
• Acts of copyright infringement including offering
pirated computer programs or links to such.
• Each shared web hosting account comes with
its own CGI-BIN, in which you are free to use any
scripts you wish. However, these scripts may not interfere
with performance of the servers by depleting server
resources, thereby affecting other customers on the
server.
• We do not allow clients to send more than
1500 pieces of e-mail per day from a shared hosting
account. If you do send more than this number per
day, you must purchase a virtual mail hosting account
which will allow you to send more email through your
account.
Network Security
Customers may not use the ResellerServers.net network to circumvent
or compromise customer authentication or security of
any host, network, or account. This includes, but is
not limited to, accessing unauthorized data, any unauthorized
access, password cracking, probing of networks seeking
vulnerabilities, or violation of any security policy.
Any denial of service is also expressly prohibited.
You are solely responsible for any security breaches
affecting servers or accounts under your control. If
your server or web site is responsible for violation
of this policy, ResellerServers.net will shut it down immediately.
In addition, you’ll be liable to pay any charges
resulting from the cost of correcting security breaches
originating from your server(s).
Other Activities
Engaging in any activity that, in ResellerServers.net's sole
and absolute discretion, disrupts, interferes with or
is harmful to (or threatens to disrupt, interfere with
or be harmful to) the Services, ResellerServers.net's business,
operations, reputation, goodwill, customers and/or customer
relations, or the ability of ResellerServers.net's customers
to effectively use the Services is prohibited. In addition,
the failure to cooperate with ResellerServers.net in correcting
or preventing violations of this AUP is a violation.
In general, ResellerServers.net does not monitor
its customers' web sites or activities to determine
whether they are in compliance with this AUP. However,
when ResellerServers.net becomes aware of any violation of this
AUP, ResellerServers.net may take any action to stop or correct
such violation, including, but not limited to, shutting
down a web site, denying access to subscribed Services,
and/or removing information. In addition, ResellerServers.net
may take action against a customer or a customer of
such customer because of the activities of such customer.
ResellerServers.net reserves the right to take any such action
even though such action may affect other customers of
the customer.
Disclosure to Law Enforcement:
ResellerServers.net may disclose any and all customer information
including account history, account use, assigned IP
addresses, etc. to any law enforcement agent who makes
a written request or order to comply with a court order
to assist in any investigations, in order to protect
ResellerServers.net or others from harm, and/or to ensure the
proper operation of our services without any consent
or notification to the customer. In addition ResellerServers.net shall have the right to terminate all service set
forth in this Agreement.

furnished and the initial rates and charges have been
communicated to customer. Customer is aware that ResellerServers.net may prospectively change the specified rates and
charges from time to time. The promotional offer is
contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its
cost of service goals including but not limited to rates
charged to company by its suppliers.

All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. Any new
accounts will be activated after payment has been cleared.
Setup fees charged on new accounts, fees assessed
due to account changes (e.g. account upgrades, addition
of extra services, etc) and domain registration fees
are non-refundable. All pricing is guaranteed
for the term of pre-payment. Subsequent payments are
due on the same date each month for that month's service.
Your account will automatically renew after each payment.
All payments are in U.S. dollars.

ResellerServers.net will bill each client $25.00 per returned

chargeback received. Service will be interrupted on
accounts that reach 5 days past due.
Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $50
reconnection charge. Accounts not paid by due date are
subject to a $8.95 late fee. Accounts not collectable
by ResellerServers.net may be turned over to an outside collection
agency for collection. Accounts turned over for collection
will be assessed a "Processing and Collection"

interest and any collection fees. Accounts with payments

to the customer.
How To Cancel Your Account:
All requests to cancel any account must be done through
the Cancellation
Form. This form is the only way
to cancel your services with us. No calls or emails
to any department will preserve any cancellation deadlines.
To cancel your hosting package you
must notify us at least 7 days before the next billing
period. No refunds can be issued unless you are cancelling
your account within our 30-day day money-back guarantee
period. If this cancellation is within this time, allow
1-2 weeks for your refund to be processed. Setup fees,
account add-on services and domain registration charges
are always non-refundable.
Any fees that are due before the cancellation
will be assessed.
Liability For Damages:
Customer acknowledges that the service provided is of
such a nature that it can be interrupted for many reasons
other than the negligence of ResellerServers.net, and that damages
resulting from any interruption are difficult to ascertain.
Therefore, customer agrees that ResellerServers.net shall not
be held liable for any damages arising from such causes
beyond the direct and exclusive control of ResellerServers.net.
Customer further acknowledges that in any event, ResellerServers.net's liability may not exceed an amount equivalent
to charges payable by customer for services during the
period damages occurred. In no event shall ResellerServers.net
be liable for any special or consequential damages,
loss or injury.
New Domain Accounts:
All new web hosting accounts involving new domains will
be set up and entered into our DNS servers as soon as
they are registered. Due to unforeseen complications,
however, this process may sometimes require up to 7
business days.
Transfer of Domains:
New web hosting accounts which involve the transfer
of a domain from another provider to ResellerServers.net will
require a minimum of seven (7) days to be set up and
entered into our DNS servers. Although DNS information
will usually be entered immediately upon account creation,
in some extreme cases, domain name transfers may take
up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature
of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding
the amount of time a specific transfer may take. If
the transfer of the domain is done by ResellerServers.net on
behalf of the account holder a handling fee will be
incurred. If the customer cancels service during the
transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered
earned.
Support Boundaries:
ResellerServers.net provides technical support to our
customers. We limit our technical support only
to our area of expertise: support related to the physical
functioning of your server or virtual site.
ResellerServers.net does not offer tech support for

not exceed that ordered by customer on the Order Form
(the "Agreed Usage"). ResellerServers.net will monitor
customer's bandwidth and disk usage. ResellerServers.net reserves
the right to take corrective action if customer's bandwidth
or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective
action may include giving the customer the option to
either pay additional fees (which will depend on the
resources required), reduce the resources used to an
acceptable level, or upgrade its service accordingly.
ResellerServers.net may also disconnect or discontinue any and
all Services, or terminate this Agreement, at ResellerServers.net's sole and absolute discretion. If ResellerServers.net
takes any corrective action under this section, customer
shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in

exceeds the bandwidth allocation, ResellerServers.net may, at
its sole discretion, collect a deposit, in an amount

information for you. E-mail, fax, and telephone contacts
