By Participating in this
program owned by MyK9Bites, you agree to all terms outlined
below:
Latest update to these terms 1/1/2003
SPAMMING IS NOT PERMITTED Do not advertise or put our
link on any site that is promoted in any way related to unsolicited
email, ICQ or IRC spams, or newsgroup postings. Opt-in email
newsletters require pre-approval. If we receive spam complaints,
your link will be disabled, your account will be immediately
terminated, and we will take LEGAL ACTION against you. Please be
aware, MRG lists is not acceptable, as well as, any other program
that hides the sender email address. We terminate sites without
notification when any of these types of programs are discovered.
BULK E-MAIL We also monitor "Bulk E-mail". While
cpanel has a mailing list program installed, any mailing over 2500
messages must be pre-approved. In addition, any site sending over
5000 messages per month will be considered "Bulk". Bulk e-mail ties
up the mail que and delays messages for other users. Therefore, we
must limit the amount of use on any shared server. There are some
arrangements that can be made to accomodate a user with a large list
which includes extra fees and special mail scheduling software.
Please be aware that posting to Free for All web pages could
generate "bulk email" from autoresponders of the FFA list users you
have posted to. We may need to take action if these autoresponders
are spamming the server and causing the mail que too many delays.
ALLOWED SITES Your site must be legal in representation
and abide by all laws within the United States of America.
Although we do not monitor the content of all sites all of the
time, we will not host websites that have pornographic, warez,
extremely offensive, or illegal content, or link to websites that
have illegal content.
The website cannot attempt to download any virus or malicious or
annoying files when opened. IRC bots, programs, or networks of
anykind are not allowed. If an IRC program is discovered, immediate
termination will result without warning. The following processes are
illegal on our servers and will be killed automatically: BitchX,
bnc, eggdrop, guardservices, ircd, psyBNC, ptlink,
services.
Websites with processes that consume or take the
server load to an unmanageable level will have that process
terminated immediately. Accounts granted SSH access that are found
to have processes running in this same manner will have SSH access
deactivated for a minimum of 6 months.
THE PROGRAM'S RIGHTS We reserve the right, at our
request, to see all referring pages and servers logs if neccessary.
If illegal content is discovered, upon request, we will turn over
all site related documents, files and logs to the proper
authorities. We reserve the right to terminate webmasters without
payment who make derogitory comments about the program or employees
of MyK9Bites We reserve the right to suspend or terminate at will
for non-payment. Sites suspended for non-payment wishing to become
unsuspended, may be required to pay for an entire year in advance to
leave suspended status and must pay a $10.00 re-activation fee, per
incident. In addition, all back monies due, must be collected before
activation.
ANNUAL HOSTING PACKAGES Annual Hosting- MyK9Bites
hosting plans are set to give our users the most useful tools
available to manage the accounts. Standard set up is for monthly pay
plans.
Hosting plans that are paid annually are heavily
discounted. The discounts warrant MyK9Bites to require a 12
month term agreement to cover the discounted annually hosting fees.
When a discounted annual hosting plan is ordered, the user agrees to
a term of 12 months of hosting with the MyK9Bites Web Hosting
Network.
