Terms of
Use
Upon signing up for MrWebGuy services, all customers agree to
comply with MrWebGuy's Terms of Use. The spirit of this policy
is to ensure our customers are using MrWebGuy services and
facilities with due regard to the rights of other Internet
users and in conformity with the requirements of MrWebGuy's
network environment.
Illegal Use
MrWebGuy servers may be used for lawful purposes only.
Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information,
data, or material in violation of any applicable law or
regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited
to: copyrighted material; trademarks; trade secrets or other
intellectual property rights used without proper
authorization; material that is obscene, defamatory,
constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control
laws. Examples of unacceptable content or links include:
pirated software, hacker programs or archives, Warez sites,
MP3, and IRC bots.
Adult
Content
Adult-oriented sites are not allowed. This includes sites that
are associated with bestiality or child pornography, sites
which promote hate against any group, sites of such nature
will be removed immediately and you will not be refunded. This
is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or
content that may be damaging to our servers or any other
server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites.
Security
Violations of system or network security are prohibited and
may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include
but are not limited to the following: unauthorized access,
use, probing, or scanning of systems security or
authentication measures, data, or traffic; interference with
service to any user, host, or network including, without
limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to
overload a system, broadcast attacks; forging of any TCP-IP
packet header or any part of the header information in an
email or a newsgroup posting.
Server
Resources
Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such
as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network
resources over their allotted limits) will be given the option
to either pay additional fees (which will depend on the
resources required), reduce the resources used to an
acceptable level, or upgrade its service to a Dedicated Server
plan.
CGI
Scripts
CGI script sharing with domains not hosted by MrWebGuy is not
permitted. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting
server performance or network integrity will be shut down
without prior notice.
Chat Rooms
MrWebGuy does not allow customers to install their own chat
rooms not supplied as part of the package they lease from
MrWebGuy. Some Chat rooms tend to require significant system
resources and therefore cannot be permitted as an account
option.
Background
Running Programs and Cron Jobs
MrWebGuy will allow programs to run in the background. These
programs will be considered on an individual basis and
customers will incur extra charges based on system resources
used and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run
background programs please contact MrWebGuy with the link at
the top of this page so that we can arrange set-up.
IRC
MrWebGuy does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our
servers.
Unsolicited
Commerce Email - SPAM
Spamming, the sending of unsolicited mass email from or
through a MrWebGuy server or using an email address that is
maintained on a MrWebGuy machine is STRICTLY prohibited. MrWebGuy
will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of
this provision. Customers are also in violation of this
provision if they engage in spamming using the service of
another ISP or IPP, but reference in the spam a web site
hosted on a MrWebGuy server. Violators will be assessed a
minimum fine of $500.00 and will face immediate suspension.
Server
Abuse
Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a MrWebGuy server
or customer are strictly prohibited.
Databases
Any database stored on MrWebGuy's servers shall be limited in
size to 50% of the total disk space allotted for that
particular domain's plan/web hosting account.
Actions Taken by MrWebGuy
The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the
above Terms of Use is grounds for account deactivation. MrWebGuy
will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of
the Terms of Use. MrWebGuy reserves the right to remove any
account without prior notice.
When MrWebGuy becomes aware of an alleged violation of its
Terms of Use, MrWebGuy will initiate an investigation. During
the investigation, MrWebGuy may restrict a customer's access
in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity.
Depending on the severity of the violation, MrWebGuy may, at
its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a
customer's web hosting account and/or pursue other civil
remedies. If such violation is a criminal offence, MrWebGuy
will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of
such violation.
MrWebGuy does
not issue credits for outages incurred through service
disablement resulting from Terms of Use violations.
MrWebGuy
customers agree to indemnify and hold harmless MrWebGuy
from any claims resulting from the use of our services that
damages them or any other party. The MrWebGuy Service's
service is provided on an as is, as available basis.
MrWebGuy expressly disclaims any representation or
warranty that the MrWebGuy service will be error-free, secure
or uninterrupted. In cases of outage the client's sole remedy
will be a pro-rated credit based on the period difference of
downtime and MrWebGuy's promised up time. No oral advice or
written information given by MrWebGuy, its employees,
licensors or the like, will create a warranty; nor may you
rely on any such information or advice. MrWebGuy and its
partners and suppliers will not be liable for any cost or
damage arising either directly or indirectly from any
transaction or use of the service.

MrWebGuy reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any
provision of its Terms of Use at any time with written notice
either direct or posted 30 days in advance to our website.
