resources, such as e-mail and/or file-transfer-protocol ("FTP") accounts, the amount of which is
defined in YourWebHosting's web pages describing the package of Services purchased at the time of purchase.
In some cases, YourWebHosting may not establish a specific amount of bandwidth, disk space and other resources,
and refer to that as "Unlimited". In all cases, the Services are intended for normal use only, and
any activity that results in excessive usage that is inconsistent with normal usage patterns is
strictly prohibited. YourWebHosting reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of
Users whose use of disk space, bandwidth or other resources results in or presents the risk of
degradation of service to other customers, regardless of the amount of disk space, bandwidth or
other resources included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage shall not exceed the
amounts set by YourWebHosting for the Services purchased (the "Agreed Usage") and is additionally
subject to normal usage guidelines established by YourWebHosting as in effect from time to time.
These allotments are optimized and dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active
electronic mail services related solely to User's web hosting account(s) with YourWebHosting.
Hosting space is intended for normal use only, and is limited to Web files, active e-mail and
content of the hosted Web sites, not for storage (whether of media, e-mails, or other data).
Hosting space further may not be used as offsite storage of electronic files, electronic mail
or FTP hosts. You are responsible for removing any files, e-mails or other data which do not
meet these requirements, and for adhering to any usage requirements or limits allocated to
your account(s). Failure to do so may result in removal and deletion of such materials
(including without limitation files and e-mails), and/or in discontinuation of your
services or account, which actions we may take in our sole discretion.
YourWebHosting will monitor User's use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources. YourWebHosting, in its
sole discretion, shall have the right to take any corrective action if User's utilization of bandwidth,
disk usage or other resources exceeds the Agreed Usage, normal usage, or is used for other improper
storage or usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges,
disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, removal or deletion of User's Web
site, User Content, User's electronic mail and e-mail services and/or other materials and
services or termination the User's account and of this Agreement, which actions may be taken
in YourWebHosting's sole and absolute discretion.
If YourWebHosting takes any such corrective action under this section, User shall not be entitled to a refund or credit
of any fees paid prior to such action. User will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
regarding User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail services, including use of bandwidth,
disk usage and other resources and will use such services and resources only for lawful purposes. User may
not utilize: the Services to copy material from third parties (including text, graphics, music, videos or
other copyrightable material) without proper authorization; the Services to misappropriate or infringe the
patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights of any third party; the Services to
traffic in illegal drugs, gambling, obscene materials or any other products or services that are prohibited
under applicable law; the Services to export encryption software to points outside the United States
(or, if User is outside the United States, to points outside the User's national jurisdiction) in
violation of applicable export control laws; the Services to forge or misrepresent message headers,
whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message. If YourWebHosting learns or discovers that
User is violating any law related to User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail services,
use of bandwidth, disk usage or other resources or Agreed Usage, YourWebHosting may be obligated to or may in
its discretion inform the necessary law enforcement and/or any related agency(ies) of such conduct and
may provide such agency(ies) with information related to User, User's Web site, User Content and/or
User's electronic mail.
User is responsible for complying with any usage requirements or limits for bandwidth, disk space or
other resources, and monitoring such usage to ensure the Web site does not violate such requirements or
exceed any such limits allocated for the account(s) and otherwise complies with this Agreement. YourWebHosting
will use commercially reasonable efforts to e-mail Users who are at or near their utilization limits, but
YourWebHosting does not take responsibility if e-mail notification(s) is not received by the User. YourWebHosting reserves
the right to discontinue service through the beginning of the next month for your account in the event
that it exceeds the any such allotment.
-
Parked Domain Services. In addition to the applicable terms and conditions contained herein:
-
If User signs up to register and park a domain name with YourWebHosting, All domain name renewal fees are due at time of invoice, before the renewal date of the domain name. Payments are non-refundable. If for any reason YourWebHosting is unable to charge User's payment method for the full amount owed YourWebHosting for the
service provided, or if YourWebHosting is charged a penalty for any fee it previously
charged to Your payment method, User agrees that YourWebHosting may pursue all
available remedies in order to obtain payment. User agrees that among the remedies
YourWebHosting may pursue in order to effect payment, shall include but will
not be limited to, immediate cancellation without notice to User of User's service.
YourWebHosting reserves the right to charge a reasonable service fee for
administrative tasks outside the scope of its regular services. These include, but
are not limited to, User service issues that cannot be handled over e-mail but require
personal service, and disputes that require legal services. These charges will be billed
to the payment method we have on file for User.
-
User agrees to be responsible for notifying YourWebHosting should User desire to
terminate use of any of the Parked Page Services, including, but not limited to, those
purchased. Notification of User's intent to terminate must be provided to YourWebHosting
no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to User's billing date but no later than ten (10) days prior
to the billing date. In the absence of notification from User, YourWebHosting will
automatically continue the Parked Page Services indefinitely and will charge User's payment
method that is on file with YourWebHosting, at YourWebHosting's then
current rates. It is User's responsibility to keep their payment method information current,
which includes the expiration date if using a credit card. In the event User terminates the
Parked Page Services, moving their Web site off of the YourWebHosting hosting
servers is User's responsibility. YourWebHosting will not transfer or FTP such
Web site to another provider. Any change by User of their name-server is not deemed
cancellation of the Parked Page Services.
-
YourWebHosting will provide User with the Parked Page Services as long as User
abides by the terms and conditions set forth herein and in each of YourWebHosting's
policies and procedures.
-
By using any of the Parked Pages Services, User agrees that YourWebHosting may
point the domain name or DNS to one of YourWebHosting's or YourWebHosting's
affiliates web pages, and that they may place advertising on User's web page and that
YourWebHosting specifically reserves this right. User shall have no right to any
compensation and shall not be entitled and shall have no right to receive any funds related
to the monetization of User's Parked Pages.

arising out of use of the Parked Page Services, including, but not limited to, actions

paid to YourWebHosting if, for any reason, YourWebHosting takes corrective action
with respect to any improper or illegal use of the Parked Page Services.
-
If a dispute arises as a result of one or more of User's Parked Pages, User will indemnify,
defend and hold YourWebHosting harmless for damages arising out of such dispute.
User also agrees that if YourWebHosting is notified that a complaint has been filed
with a governmental, administrative or judicial body, regarding a Web site hosted by
YourWebHosting, that YourWebHosting, in its sole discretion, may take
whatever action YourWebHosting deems necessary regarding further modification,
assignment of and/or control of the Web site to comply with the actions or requirements
of the governmental, administrative or judicial body until such time as the dispute is settled.
-
SimpleScripts Terms. SimpleScripts automates the installation of a given open
source application. Users are free to install open source applications independently of
SimpleScripts by following the instructions provided by YourWebHosting or the
organization that developed the open source application. When a User uses an open source
application, the User licenses it from the open source provider, not from YourWebHosting.

- We can not guarantee that the version we currently provide is the latest one being distributed by the vendor.
-
Any security risks including, but not limited to, hacking, phishing and information piracy
are the sole responsibility of the User.

-
YourWebHosting reserves the right to revise its Wholesale, Wholesale Plus and

Obligations of Resellers of Domain Registrar Services. If
you are a Reseller of Domain Registrar Services these Terms of Service,
including without limitation the following provisions, constitute the
agreement by which you would provide Registrar Services ("Registrar
Reseller"):
- Registrar Reseller agrees to comply with any and all policies, terms and conditions of ICANN (http://www.icann.org/registrars/ra-agreement-17may01.htm), or such other registration agreement as ICANN, YourWebHosting, or registry administrator shall post on their website from time to time, but only those portions that are applicable to all registrars, including, but not limited to, those that will prohibit the registration of certain domain names (those not allowed to be registered by statute or regulation).
- Registrar Reseller is prohibited from displaying the ICANN or
ICANN-Accredited Registrar logo, or from otherwise representing itself
as accredited by ICANN unless it has written permission from ICANN to do so.
- Any registration agreement used by Registrar Reseller shall include
all registration agreement provisions and notices required by the ICANN
Registrar Accreditation Agreement and any ICANN Consensus Policies, and shall identify the sponsoring registrar or provide a means for
identifying the sponsoring registrar, such as a link to the InterNIC
Whois lookup service.
- Registrar Reseller shall identify the sponsoring registrar upon
inquiry from the customer.
- Registrar Reseller shall ensure that the identity and contact
information provided by the customer of any privacy or proxy
registration service offered or made available by Registrar Reseller in
connection with each registration will be deposited with Registrar or
held in escrow or, alternatively, display a conspicuous notice to such
customers at the time an election is made to utilize such privacy or
proxy service that their data is not being escrowed. Where escrow is
used, the escrow agreement will provide, at a minimum, that data will be
released to registrar in the event Registrar Reseller breaches this
reseller agreement, and such breach is harmful to consumers or the
public interest. In the event that ICANN makes available a program
granting recognition to resellers that escrow privacy or proxy
registration data as detailed above, and Registrar Reseller meets any
other criteria established by ICANN in accordance with its Bylaws,
Registrar Reseller shall be permitted to apply to ICANN for such
recognition.
-
Registrar Reseller shall provide a link to the ICANN webpage that identifies available registrant rights and responsibilities, currently found at http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/registrant-rights-responsibilities on any website it may operate for domain name registration or renewal clearly. Such link shall be displayed to its registered name holders at least as clearly as links to policies or notifications required to be displayed under ICANN Consensus Policies.
- If YourWebHosting becomes aware that such a Registrar Reseller is in
breach of any of the foregoing provisions, YourWebHosting shall take
reasonable steps to notify the Registrar Reseller that it is in breach
of this reseller agreement and that YourWebHosting has the right to terminate
such agreement.
-
Virtual Private Servers (VPS). VPS sometimes also referred to as Virtual Dedicated Server.
When creating a VPS account, we split dedicated servers into independent areas, referred to as containers.
The customer is responsible for providing the firewalls, software, web files, content and Operating systems
for the customer's container, independent of other containers on the server. Each container is allotted
its own disk space, CPU power, bandwidth, and memory. This isolation of server space allows for
independent server customization for which the customer is responsible
VPS is different from shared hosting, and VPS customers should be technically advanced and prepared to
use and operate a server, various Operating Systems, Linux and root access.
-
In addition to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable
to YourWebHosting VPS customers;
- The Customer assumes all responsibility for installation and maintenance of the Operating System (OS) used within the customer's container, as well as any reinstalls and changes.
- Customer assumes all responsibility for their VPS environment, firewalls, protections from bugs, viruses or other intrusions, content applications and resources used.
- Customer agrees to take full responsibility for installation, storage, back-up, maintenance, and other aspects of its files, software, data and other content or items transferred to or used in the container and the VPS account.
- The Customer is solely responsible for all files contained in their VPS whether the Customer had knowledge of the files or not and for assuring that the container is used and operated in compliance with this Agreement.
- It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure their system is secured and safe from compromise at all time. If a container is found to be compromised or in violation of this Agreement, YourWebHosting has the right to suspend and terminate service immediately.
-
Resource Usage Limits. Misuse of system resources, including but not limited to, employing programs that
consume excessive CPU time (outside of reserved for user's container), network capacity, disk IO or storage
space, may result in account suspension and termination.
-
Mail Policy. VPS accounts will be governed by our shared-hosting mail policy (See Acceptable Use
Policy section 4.a). Furthermore, anyone hosting websites or services on their server or container
that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases
will have their server immediately removed from our network.
-
Third-Party Software. In the event You elect to install any third-party software, the following terms shall apply;
- You represent and warrant You have the right to use and install the third-party software.
- You have paid the applicable licensing fees for the third party software, and the third-party software does not and shall not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity.
- You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless YourWebHosting and its employees, officers and directors for, from and against any and all claims brought against YourWebHosting and its employees, officers and directors by a third-party alleging the software infringes:

by any party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or
remedy. No express waiver or assent by any party hereto to any breach of or default in any term

or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of YourWebHosting. Any attempted
