A. A1HostCo Web Hosting & E-commerce Customer Restrictions

The following Terms of Use apply only to A1HostCo's Web Hosting customers, and supplement the terms in sections C and D that apply to all A1HostCo customers:

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) 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. A1HostCo will be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. All Web Hosting and E-Commerce accounts come with a limit of XX per account. Each block of XX files after the initial XX will incur an additional charge of US XX/month. Any Web Hosting and E-Commerce account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.

CGI Scripts

Any scripts that pose a potential security risk or are deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down or will be automatically removed without prior notice. A1HostCo does not permit CGI script sharing with domains not hosted by A1HostCo or any scripts that may be abused for UCE purposes.

Chat Rooms

A1HostCo does not allow Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to require significant system resources and therefore cannot be permitted as an account option. However, A1HostCo provides Java chat rooms that meet most users' needs and run without hindering system performance.

Background Running Programs and Cron Jobs

A1HostCo may allow programs to run in the background. These programs will be considered on an individual basis and Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers will incur extra charges based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run background programs please contact A1HostCo so that we can arrange set-up.

IRC

A1HostCo does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated by Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers.

Software Distribution

A1HostCo's Web Hosting and E-Commerce accounts are not configured for the purposes of distributing software and/or multimedia products. If you wish to distribute software and/or multimedia files, please contact Sale at A1HostCo to make special arrangements.

Databases

Any database stored on A1HostCo's Web Hosting and E-Commerce servers will be limited in size to 10% of the total disk space allotted for that particular domain's plan/web hosting account.

B. A1HostCo Dedicated Server Customer Restrictions

The following Terms of Use apply only to A1HostCo's Dedicated Server customers, and supplement the terms in sections C and D that apply to all A1HostCo customers:

Customer Security Responsibilities

The customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting servers under customer control. If a customer's server is involved in an attack on another server or system, it will be shut down and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine the cause/source of the attack. In such event, the customer is responsible for the cost to rectify any damage done to the customer's server and any other requirement affected by the security breach.

IRC

A1HostCo allows Dedicated Server customers the use of IRC inside the A1HostCo network as long as the use of IRC on a A1HostCo server does not violate any of the other terms of these TOU. As a policy, A1HostCo will not provide vanity IRC reverse DNS records. To enforce this policy A1HostCo does not turn the reverse address of IPs over to the customer. Authority over this information remains with A1HostCo.

Billing for Network Resources

The customer understands that the customer is responsible for paying for any network resources that are used to connect the customer's server to the Internet. The customer may request that the customer's server be disconnected from the Internet, but the customer will still be responsible for paying for any network resources used up to the point of suspension or cancellation.

C. All A1HostCo Customer Terms of Use

The following Terms of Use apply to ALL A1HostCo customers:

The term "spamming" also includes, but is not limited to, maintaining an open SMTP policy, engaging in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP and referencing in the spam a web site hosted on a A1HostCo server, and selling or distributing software (on a web site residing on a A1HostCo server) that facilitates spamming. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of US$200 and will face immediate suspension. A1HostCo reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.

System and Network Abuse

Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples of system or network security violations include, without limitation the following: unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without express authorization of the owner of the system or network; interference with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks; forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

Copyright Violations

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") sets forth the law regarding the use of copyrighted materials on the Internet. All A1HostCo customers are subject to the requirements of the DMCA. Individuals or entities submitting notifications of copyright infringement by a A1HostCo customer (per the DMCA) to A1HostCo must follow the below procedures. Copyright infringement notifications submitted to A1HostCo according to these procedures will be processed within 21 days of receipt. Customers who are the subject of a DMCA notification that meets the below criteria may be subject to account termination at A1HostCo's sole discretion.

DMCA Copyright Infringement Notification Requirements:

Signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf (the "Claimant").
Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed.

The Claimant's name, address, and telephone number(s).
A statement that the Claimant has a good faith belief that use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner or his agent.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification of copyright infringement is accurate and that the Claimant is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Child Pornography/Beastiality

The use of A1HostCo's services to store, post, display, transmit, advertise or otherwise make available child pornography or beatiality is prohibited. A1HostCo is required by law, and will, notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of such material on, or being transmitted through, its services.

Privacy

A1HostCo is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, A1HostCo urges its customers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. A1HostCo cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over A1HostCo's facilities. Additional details on privacy and A1HostCo's use of customer information can be found in A1HostCo's Privacy Statement located at http://www.A1HostCo.com/support/privacypolicy.htm.

Customer Responsibility

Customers are required to use the A1HostCo network responsibly. This includes respecting the other customers of A1HostCo. A1HostCo reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel service with any customer who uses the A1HostCo network in such a way that adversely affects other A1HostCo customers. While A1HostCo may monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily, as a general practice, A1HostCo does not monitor its customers' communications or activities to determine whether they are in compliance with the TOU. However, when A1HostCo becomes aware of any violation of the TOU or other user agreements, A1HostCo may take any action to stop or correct such violation, including, but not limited to, denying access to A1HostCo's services and equipment or to the Internet. In addition, A1HostCo may take action against a customer or a customer of such customer because of the activities of such customer. A1HostCo anticipates that customers who offer Internet services will cooperate with A1HostCo in any corrective or preventive action that A1HostCo deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of A1HostCo policy and A1HostCo reserves the right to take any such action even though such action may affect other customers of the A1HostCo customer.

Actions Taken by A1HostCo

The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the TOU is grounds for account deactivation. A1HostCo will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the TOU. A1HostCo reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice and to refuse service to anyone at any time. When A1HostCo becomes aware of an alleged violation of its TOU, A1HostCo will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, A1HostCo may restrict a customer's access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, A1HostCo 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 offense, A1HostCo will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the TOU if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. A1HostCo does not issue credits for outages incurred through service disablement resulting from TOU violations. Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by A1HostCo.

Indemnification
