17a. USAGE DEFINITIONS AND POLICIES
The Company offers high-limit or unlimited amounts of disk space and/or other resources, such as bandwidth transfer. The intention of the Company is to provide ample resources for customer convenience, so that customers do not need to worry about exceeding limits for their own site(s). Non Reseller Plans are for individual site owners to utilize, NOT to be utilized as a reseller plan, NOT to be utilized by a webmaster for sites he/she maintains, nor to host sites which you do not own, nor to host sites for which you are not responsible for. Any such use of the Services will result in the termination of Customer's account, with or without notice.

"Unlimited" means what? The Company does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Customer can use. In good faith and subject to these Terms, the Company makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Customers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites successfully, as long as the Customer's use of the service complies with these Terms.

"Unlimited" DOES NOT mean what? The Company employs complex mechanisms to protect its Customers and systems from abuse. The Company's offering of "unlimited" services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Customers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Customers.

The Company's service is a shared hosting service, which means that multiple Customer web sites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. The Company's service is designed to meet the typical needs of personal, small business and home business website Customers. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, or non-typical applications better suited to a VPS or dedicated server. Any usage deemed by management to be outside of the normal shared hosting customer resource usage will not be allowed.

The Company will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Customers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Customers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Customers, the Company does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until the Company can evaluate said sites resource needs.

Unlimited Hosting Space. The Company does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Customer can use for the Customer's website, nor does the Company charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Customer's use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the Company's service is designed to host websites. The Company does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, including historical audio/video files of sermons, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Customer's account, with or without notice.

Unlimited File Transfer. The Company does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic a web site can receive or on the amount of content a Customer can upload to his/her/its website in a given month, nor does the Company charge additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Customer's use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Customer's web site will be able to support as much traffic as the Customer can legitimately acquire. However, the Company reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, or processes in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Customers.

18. Backup Space for Dedicated Server and VPS Customers: To keep your server backups running properly, upon using all of your backup space capacity, causing your backup to fail, you agree that we may increase your backup quota, including adjusting future invoices for the next level of backup space quota, so that your backups can continue running normally.

Additionally, for Dedicated Server and VPS Customers, the backup retention policy is 5 (five) days. If you wish to utilize a different backup policy you must notify us in writing.

19. Backups: The Company performs a nightly backup of all shared hosting accounts, retained for a seven day period. This backup is for data restoration in the event of a server failure. As a courtesy, the Company will provide one free Customer requested restore from a backup per calendar quarter. Additional Customer requested restores per calendar quarter will be subject to a $9.95 restore fee.

20. Resellers and Reseller Customers: It is the responsibility of the Reseller (Customer) of the Company to require its customer(s) to agree to a similar Terms of Service agreement that is substantiative in nature to this Terms of Service agreement, as this agreememt applies to Reseller's customers also.

21. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES: No third-party rights or benefits exists; neither express nor implied.

22. Force Majeure: The Company shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any delay or default in performing hereunder if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its control including, but not limited to Acts of God, Government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export or other necessary license), wars, insurrections and/or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Company.

23. You agree that this Terms of Service agreement may be modified for any reason, and without notice.
