HostFusion has a responsibility to protect each client and to provide the best service available. The following guidelines were designed to ensure these obligations are met. You must agree to all of these terms prior to signing up with HostFusion. Under the terms of this agreement, your placement of information on HostFusion's servers is an acknowledgement that you have read and understood this agreement, and that you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions below. If you do not wish to be bound by these terms and conditions, you should not proceed to place any information of any kind on HostFusion's servers.
1. Content
All services provided by HostFusion 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 City 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, and invasion of privacy. The subscriber
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless HostFusion from any claims
resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber
or any other party.
All pornographic content and sex-related merchandising is prohibited
on all HostFusion servers. This includes sites that may infer
sexual content or links to adult content elsewhere. HostFusion
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 HostFusion servers
or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials
are also prohibited.
Examples of unacceptable content or links:
- Pirated software
- Sex-related sites
- Hacker programs or archives
- Warez sites
HostFusion will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision.
2. Commercial
Advertising Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited
email, from a HostFusion server or using an e-mail address or
domain that is maintained on a HostFusion machine as reference
is STRICTLY prohibited. Clients that are found to be spamming
or sending large quantities of unsolicited email will be immediately
deactivated and no refunds will be offered on any payments made.
We constantly monitor for spamming on all servers. HostFusion
will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation
of this provision.
3. Domain Registration
Domain names are your property upon registration, and cannot
be returned for refund.
4. 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 setup to reference a subdirectory
within an existing web hosting account served by HostFusion
or any other provider.
5. Server Abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to
a server, or customer, of HostFusion is strictly prohibited,
and will result in immediate termination or prosecution. This
includes, but is not limited to: using programs that consume
excessive CPU time; allowing the use of mail services, mail
forwarding capabilities, or auto-responders other than for
the customer's own account; resale of disk space without an
appropriate reseller agreement; use of servers for backup
of files unrelated to the website of the account; or resale
or remote access to CGI scripts installed on our servers.
6. 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.
7. Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own
chat rooms. These tend to be a large drain on system resources
and we cannot allow it as an account option.
8. IRCThe operation of IRC or IRC bots on our servers will
result in an immediate suspension of service.
9. Data Backup & Recovery
While we back up files on a
daily basis, 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 website.
10. Cancellations
Although no notice is required, and there
is no cancellation fee, all fees paid for service up to the
notice of cancellation are non-refundable. If cancellation
is made within the first 30 days of service all hosting fees
will be refunded. This does not include domain registration
fees, setup fees or any charges associated with the purchase
of supplemental services.
11. Billing
All clients are billed one month in advance. All payments
are due 30 days from invoice. Past due payments are subject
to late fees. An account that is past due for two or more
billing cycles is subject to termination. Accounts paid by
credit cards that 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.
If you need to update your credit card information, please
access your control panel and click on the “Update Billing”
icon.
12. Money-Back Guarantee
If for any reason during the first
30 days, you are not completely satisfied with our service,
we will refund your money. If you have any concerns regarding
your account and are still looking for a resolution to a problem
or question, we encourage you to contact us. However, if you
are still in anyway unsatisfied with one of our products,
please contact us within 30 days after the initial purchase
for a refund. The money-back guarantee applies to the monthly
fee associated with your account. It does not apply to the
setup fee, domain registration fees or any charges associated
with the purchase of supplemental services. Please note that the money-back guarantee is only applicable to the initial sign-up fee and not for subsequent renewal fees.
13. Suspension
Activity which results in a suspension or deactivation
of an account will result in a forfeiture of fees paid. Complaints
made regarding abuses of an account will be grounds for suspension.
14. Refusal of Service
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel,
or suspend service at our sole discretion. All sub-networks,
distributive hosting sites, and dedicated servers of HostFusion
must adhere to the above policies. Failure to follow any term
or condition will be grounds for immediate account deactivation.
