Services Provided by
CheetaWeb, Inc.
CheetaWeb will provide Internet
server space rental ("the Service") to its members for the express purpose of
allowing customers to provide http Internet content to the general public. The
Service allows CheetaWeb members to maintain Internet websites, receive and
maintain e-mail accounts, and access web space via FTP to upload files for their
websites. CheetaWeb members will use the provided services in a manner
consistent with any and all applicable laws of the State of Texas and the US
Federal Government. CheetaWeb provides the Services exclusively, and makes no
effort to edit, control, monitor or restrict the content of data other than as
necessary to provide such Services. If any of the activities referenced below
are committed, CheetaWeb can terminate client's account without notification.
- Disk Space and Client Content:
CheetaWeb provides varying disk quotas in its accounts. If
more disk space is needed Client is advised to upgrade to
a higher plan. Accounts are to be used by the primary owner
only. Account holders are not permitted to resell web-hosting
services of their website to other parties except in reseller
accounts. Client agrees that webpages and files uploaded to
our servers will not violate any state, federal or foreign
laws or regulations; infringe on any intellectual property
rights of CheetaWeb or any third party; be defamatory, slanderous
or trade libelous; be threatening or harassing; be discriminatory
based on gender, race, age; promote hate; or contain viruses
or other computer programming defects which result in damage
to CheetaWeb or any third party. Customers may not run IRC
bots or clients except on accounts specifically for such.
Unacceptable uses of our service also include: Bulk emailing,
unsolicited emailings, newsgroup spamming, copyrighted MP3s,
illegal content, copyright infringement, trademark infringement,
warez, cracks, or software serial numbers. CheetaWeb will
be the sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation
of this policy.
- Bandwidth Usage:
Bandwidth is calculated on a recurring 30 days. Sites that
use over 10% of their monthly bandwidth per day risk being
suspended. Additional bandwidth can be obtained by upgrading
to a higher package, or thru custom agreement. Bandwidth cannot
be combined with multiple packages. We reserve the right to
not host any website that repeatedly exceeds its plan's bandwidth
quota.
- Excessive Resource User
Policy: Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor
utilization. A website is considered to be using "Excessive
amounts of resources" when it monopolizes the resources
available by using 10% or more of system resources for longer
than 60 seconds. There are numerous activities that could
cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, PHP, FTP,
HTTP, etc. A site that consumes over 10% of its monthly alloted
bandwidth is also considered "excessive resources."
This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and
is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. We reserve
the rights to suspend or terminate any hosting account that
we feel is jeopardizing our network. CheetaWeb will be the
sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation
of this policy.
- No "Spam".
UCE/UBE or "Spam" originating from a CheetaWeb account,
or associated with a CheetaWeb account, is not tolerated.
This includes any e-mail that promotes web sites hosted on
a CheetaWeb account but is sent from an e-mail address not
associated with that CheetaWeb account. Client shall not use
their CheetaWeb services for chain letters, junk mail, bulk-email,
or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not
given specific permission to be included in such a process.
CheetaWeb reserves the right to deactivate or terminate any
account(s) upon any indication of such activity without notice.
- False Information. False
Information. Client agrees not to post false or inaccurate
information to news groups in violation of the news groups'
rules and regulations. If any news groups or service providers
contact CheetaWeb concerning unethical, false or unlawful
activities by you, CheetaWeb reserves the right to terminate
your service without notice.
- 99.5% Uptime - CheetaWeb
has a 99.5% average uptime across our entire network at large,
which includes webservers, mailservers, and more - as a whole,
excluding planned outages and upstream carrier faults. If
a single server is temporarily offline, the rest of the CheetaWeb
servers remain unaffected and uninterrupted, thus contributing
to our overall uptime.
- Licensed Software Only.
Client agrees to use only properly licensed third party software
in connection with Client's use of the Services.
- Backups. Customer’s
use of the service is at Customer’s sole risk. CheetaWeb
is not responsible for files and data residing on Customer’s
account. Customer agrees to take full responsibility for files
and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup
of files and data stored on CheetaWeb's servers.
