UNLIMITED USE POLICY
High bandwidth usage: Under our unlimited use plans we maintain very large ratios of bandwidth per customer. In rare cases, we may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that he or she may jeopardize server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, our company reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the consideration of all customers.

HIGH RESOURCE USER POLICY
Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilization. We may implement the following policy to its sole discretion: When a web site is found to be monopolizing the resources available we reserve the right to suspend that site immediately. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. Customers may be offered an option whereby we continue hosting the web site for an additional fee. 

PAYMENT POLICIES
All accounts are set up on a prepay basis. Our company reserves the right to change prices of accounts or services at any time. Our company will guaranteed prices for any prepayment period unless our own direct bandwidth costs significantly increases. In such cases accounts have the option of canceling and will receive a full refund for any period remaining. Payment is due each anniversary period, monthly, quarterly, semi annual or yearly, following the date the account was established. Customers will automatically be charged again at the end of their prepay period unless closure notification has already been given.

In situations where the card number on file is declined we will immediately suspend the facility to purchase services on-line until the outstanding charge is processed successfully. In addition, our company reserves the right to suspend existing or future services until the outstanding debt is cleared. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer sends a written cancellation request.

No bills or invoices will be sent by regular mail. All invoices will be sent directly to customers via e-mail shortly after the online purchase has been made. At this point the customer's card will be charged automatically.

All payment are in US dollars.

Customers may be given the option to purchase services which were offered as start-up incentives in the result of a cancellation.
