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.

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
     
  7. Licensed Software Only. Client agrees to use only properly licensed third party software in connection with Client's use of the Services.
  8. 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.
