ORDERYOURWEB provides Internet World Wide Web page
hosting, Marketing, and Development. ORDERYOURWEB has certain legal and ethical responsibilities
consisting with the use of its server and equipment
involved in these services.
ORDERYOURWEB general policy is to act as a provider
of Internet presence. ORDERYOURWEB has specific
ethical concerns regarding the use of its computers
detailed below. ORDERYOURWEB reserves the right
to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any
or all services provided by ORDERYOURWEB when
we decide that the account has been inappropriately
used.
Server
Abuse
Any
attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server,
or customer, of ORDERYOURWEB is strictly prohibited.
Unauthorized
use of other people's accounts or computers
ORDERYOURWEB 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
ORDERYOURWEB customer, whether or not the attacked
account or computer belongs to ORDERYOURWEB,
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.
IMPORTANT
NOTE - ORDERYOURWEB has the right to discontinue
service, or deny access to anyone who violates
our Policies or the terms and conditions shown
below WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds
of fees paid will be made if account termination
is due to violation of the terms outlined below.
Customers may not run IRC, bots or clients. Unacceptable
uses also include, but are NOT limited to: Bulk emailing,
unsolicited emailings, newsgroup spamming, pornographic
content (unless specifically authorized; specific
fees apply), illegal content, copyright infringement,
trademark infringement, warez, cracks, software serial
numbers, and/or anything else determined by ORDERYOURWEB to be unacceptable use of ORDERYOURWEB's
services including abuse of server resources.
Accounts may be terminated that include the following
content or which have links to the following content:
•Providing material that is grossly offensive
to the Web community including blatant expressions
of bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity
•Promoting or providing instructional information
about illegal activities, or promoting physical harm
or injury against any group or individual
•Displaying (without specific protections to
be verified by ORDERYOURWEB if authorized) material
containing obscene nudity or pornographic material
(these need to be specifically authorized by ORDERYOURWEB)
•Displaying material that exploits children
under 18 years of age
•Acts of copyright infringement including offering
pirated computer programs or links to such programs,
information used to circumvent manufacturer-installed
copy-protect devices, including serial or registration
numbers for software programs, or any type of cracker
utilities
Abuse of Traffic
ORDERYOURWEB's customers are privileged to be offered
high traffic limits for their web sites. The intention
of ORDERYOURWEB is to provide a large space to
serve web documents, not an off site storage area
for electronic files called from other servers
or computers. All (90%) of your web pages (html)
must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.)
stored on ORDERYOURWEB's servers. Any customer
who violates ORDERYOURWEB's Policies in abusing
either space/site transfer will be notified and
given 2 days to remedy the problem. If the problem
is not resolved within the allotted period, the
client will be billed for the overages.
To
maintain the integrity of our service the following
limitations apply:
Sites
offering download files or archives. (This is any
site where 50% or more of their monthly traffic
is from file downloads). Sites using more than
30% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds.
Sites running multimedia files (QuickTime, Real
Audio, Real Video, MP3).
For
those who will go over their account's allocated
limit (500 MB, 2, 4, 6 10, 15 or 20 GB per month),
traffic fees for over-the-limit usages will apply.
For every over the limit GB, $3.00 per 1GB per
month will be billed to your account. If you want
to pre-pay for 5 GB bandwidth overages (recommended),
you will only be billed $10.00 for 5 GB per month.
It is therefore better to pre-pay for the 5 GB
before exceeding the limit. To be sure to never
exceed the limit, watch your bandwidth consumption
very closely.
Once
we receive a notice detailing your bandwidth over
usage, we will bill your credit card for the overage.
Then, we will increase your bandwidth limit to
a level that is twice your overage. For instance,
if you consumed 1 MB to 1 GB, we will increase
your limit by 2 GB and start billing you the $6
that correspond to the 2 GB on your next bill,
and so on. If your credit card on record becomes
invalid, and we cannot charge you for the overages,
we will write to you. If you do not provide a valid
credit card number within 3 days of our notice,
your account will be disabled and access to it
denied to you.
ORDERYOURWEB will be the sole arbiter as to what
constitutes a violation of this provision.
Unsolicited
Email (Spam)
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. Upon your first Spam offense
your mail will be disabled for 72 hours. Upon your
second Spam offense your entire domain will be disabled
for 72 hours and you will be fined $100.00 per sent
Spam. Upon your third offense your account with ORDERYOURWEB will be terminated, you will be fined $200.00
per sent Spam. No refunds will be given if your account
is terminated for Spam.
Uptime Guarantee
(1.)
Coverage
Our uptime guarantee applies to any of ORDERYOURWEB clients in good financial standing with ORDERYOURWEB at the time of a service outage.
(2.)
Service Level
ORDERYOURWEB endeavors to have the content of your
web site available for http access by any party in
the world at all times. However, should incidents
beyond our control occur (floods, earthquakes, etc.
affecting you or affecting us: see restrictions below),
we cannot be held responsible for the lack of Internet
access to your Web site.
(3.)
Credits
In the event that your web site is not available
for more than a day, ORDERYOURWEB will credit the
following month's service fee as follows. For any
shared hosting client, such credit shall be retroactive
and shall be as calculated below and as measured
24 hours a day in a calendar month, with the maximum
credit not to exceed the monthly service charge for
the affected month.
Monthly Uptime Credit
95% and below 25%
90% to 94.9% 50%
89.9% or below 100%
In
order for you to receive a credit on your account,
you must request such credit within ten (10) days
after you experienced the down time. You must request
credit by sending an electronic mail message to
refunds. For security purposes, the body of this
message must contain your account info, the dates
and times of the unavailability of your website,
and such other customer identification requested
by ORDERYOURWEB. Credits will usually be applied
within sixty (60) days of your credit request,
unless otherwise specified by ORDERYOURWEB. Credit
to your account shall be your sole and exclusive
remedy in the event of an outage. Credits are defined
as additional hosting time added to your account
because of our not meeting our uptime guarantee.
Thus, a one-month credit means that you will be
given a free month of Web-hosting to be used towards
the end of your contract term. Because refunds
are not given, early termination will also cause
you to lose any credit you may have earned during
your hosting time with us.
(4.)
Restrictions
Credits shall not be provided to you in the event
that you have any outage resulting from (1.) scheduled
maintenance as posted from time to time at ORDERYOURWEB, (2.) your behavior or the performance or
failure of your equipment, facilities or applications,
or (3.) circumstances beyond ORDERYOURWEB's reasonable
control, including, without limitation, acts of any
governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo,
fire, flood, strike or other labor disturbance, interruption
of or delay in transportation, unavailability of
interruption or delay in telecommunications or third
party services, including DNS propagation, domain
name registration / transfer, failure of third party
software or hardware or inability to obtain raw materials,
supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for
provision of your web site, or (4.) a client breaking
any item in ORDERYOURWEB's "terms of conditions
and acceptable use policy"
causing a machine to fail as a result.
CGI
Scripts
Each
account comes with the ability to run CGI scripts.
You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however
we reserve the right to disable any CGI script
that effects normal server operation without prior
warning.
Chat
Rooms
We
do not allow clients to install their own chat
rooms, without approving them with the ORDERYOURWEB Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large
system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account
option. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply
to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.
Abuse
of SMTP Mail Server
We
do not allow clients to send more than 1000 pieces
of e-mail per day. If you do send more than 1000
pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be
placed on hold for Network Abuse. If you are sending
legitimate e-mails and they total more than 1000
per day your account will be moved to a special
server that is specifically designed to handle
high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $100.00/month
in addition to your regular hosting charges if
your account is moved to this server. Please contact
us to have your domain moved.
Background
Running Programs
We
MAY allow programs to run continually in the background.
BUT, these are considered on a one-to-one basis
and an extra charge will be incurred based on system
resources used and operational maintenance needed.
You need to contact us first before installing
any such program.
IRC
We
currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated
on our servers.
24
Hour Guarantee
We
will setup your account within 24 hours of confirming
and/or receiving your payment.
Backup Policies
We strive to backup all of our customer data at least
every month. Customers must understand that these
backups are meant for whole servers, not individual
accounts. In other words, if the whole server fails,
we may be able to restore ALL server accounts, but
we may not restore accounts on a per customer basis.
Customers must therefore ensure that their accounts
are individually backed up by themselves at least
every day. It is important for customers to understand
that their daily backup may at times be more current
than our backup if our backup goes back several days.
They must also understand that restoring all account
on a given server after a server crash can take up
to 72 hours. A customer with a personal, current
backup may, at times, be able to restore their own
account faster than us. We therefore highly recommend
backing up your accounts personally every day.
Payment Policies
All
accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. The terms
of pre-pay are per quarter, per 6 months, per 9
months or per 12 months depending on your preference.
When you become hosted by us, you authorize us
to debit your credit card automatically for the
amount due at every renewal period. Setup fees
are charged for all new accounts and major account
changes. These fees are non-refundable. All pricing
and account configurations (price and feature freezes)
are guaranteed only for accounts in good standing.
Note that your account cannot be downgraded to
a cheaper plan. We allow only upgrades to higher
accounts if the price of the upgrade account is
higher than the account you currently have. ORDERYOURWEB reserves the right to change prices and
configurations at any time, unless other terms
have been agreed upon on an individual basis. Existing
customers may not downgrade their accounts to cheaper
ones. Conversely, ORDERYOURWEB will not increase
the costs of hosting for existing customers. 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 ORDERYOURWEB of his/her
desire to request for termination of services.
Terminations initiated by the customer are not
immediate. Because we lease server space per term,
the customer must use the rest of the days covered
by the term of hosting. There is no refund for
early termination or for any other form of termination.
All payment is in U.S. currency. ORDERYOURWEB
will bill each client $50 per returned check, per
wire transfer received and per credit card chargeback
received. All ORDERYOURWEB accounts are setup
and billed on anniversary billing cycles. Your
particular billing cycle corresponds to the contract
length that was initially chosen at setup, based
on the time of your sign up. Your account will
automatically renew at this length unless you notify
us of your desire to terminate the contract at
its term. There is no fee to change to a shorter
billing cycle at the end of the current cycle.
However, if you wish to change to a shorter billing
cycle, during a current cycle, there will be a
$50.00 fee. Please contact the billing department
at billing should you wish to change your anniversary
billing cycle.
Cancellation &
Refund Policy
ORDERYOURWEB reserves the right to cancel service at
any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation
cannot be refunded by ORDERYOURWEB if ORDERYOURWEB institutes its right of cancellation due to
a fault by the customer. ORDERYOURWEB will refund
hosting fees only in case of cancellation due to
the Company going out of business or being unable
to satisfy a customer's request for an account
within a given amount of time. Setup fees are not
refundable, but they can be exceptionally refunded
if we were unable to perform the services ordered
by you. Any violation of policies which results
in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e.
transfer, space, etc.)
All
of ORDERYOURWEB's Web-hosting plans are non-refundable.
If you are not completely satisfied with our services
or support, you may elect not to renew your contract
at the expiration of your term of hosting (3, 6,
9 or 12 months). You must however notify us at
least 30 days in advance. Setup and other fees
paid by you for specific services are refundable
only if we are unable to perform the services ordered
by you within a reasonable amount of time. Due
to security concerns, a number of steps will be
taken to ensure that the person requesting cancellation
is the person who owns the account. For the protection
of our clients, phone or email requests will not
constitute acceptance of any cancellation until
we have implemented other checks and balances.
Refunds will be made by company check (US only)
or issued back to your credit card within 30 days
of receipt of cancellation.
Intellectual
Property Rights
Material
accessible to you through ORDERYOURWEB's services
may be subject to protection under the United States

a domain name in connection with ORDERYOURWEB
or similar service, you must not use that domain
name in violation of any trademark, service mark,
or similar rights of any third party.
Network
Security
Customers
may not use ORDERYOURWEB network with 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 customer, logging into a server or account
the customer 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. Customers
may not attempt to interfere or deny service to
any user, host, or network. This includes, but

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.

will keep all such information confidential and
will use the same degree of care and security as
you use with your confidential information.
Static
/ Dynamic Content Caching
You
expressly (i) grant to ORDERYOURWEB a license
to cache the entirety of your Web Site, including
content supplied by third parties, hosted by ORDERYOURWEB under this Agreement and (ii) agree that

intellectual property rights or any third party's
intellectual property rights.
IP
Address Ownership
ORDERYOURWEB shall maintain and control ownership of
all IP numbers and addresses that may be assigned
to you by ORDERYOURWEB and ORDERYOURWEB reserves,
in its sole discretion, the right to change or
remove any and all such IP numbers and addresses.
Domain
Name Registration
If
requesting domain name registration through us,
Customer agrees to pay ORDERYOURWEB prior to
the effectiveness of the desired domain name registration,
the then-current amounts set forth in the ORDERYOURWEB price schedule for the initial registration
of the domain name and, should Customer choose
to renew the registration, subsequent renewals
of the registration. All fees are non-refundable,
in whole or in part, even if Customer's domain
name registration is suspended, cancelled or transferred
prior to the end of Customer's then current registration
term. ORDERYOURWEB reserves the right to change
fees, surcharges, renewal fees or to institute
new fees at any time, for any reason, at its sole
discretion. Customer's requested domain name will
not be registered unless and until we receive actual
payment of the registration fee, and have confirmed
Customer's registration in an email from ORDERYOURWEB to the email address indicated in Customer's
registration application. In the event of a chargeback
by a credit card company (or similar action by
another payment provider allowed by ORDERYOURWEB) in connection with the payments of the registration
fee for Customer's domain name registration, Customer
agrees and acknowledges that the domain name registration
shall be transferred to ORDERYOURWEB as the paying
entity for that registration to the registry and
that we reserve all rights regarding such domain
name including, without limitation, the right to
make the domain name available to other parties
for purchase. ORDERYOURWEB will reinstate Customer's
domain name registration solely at ORDERYOURWEB's
discretion, and subject to our receipt of the initial
registration or renewal fee and our then-current
reinstatement fee.
Lawful
