CBWE HOSTING AS RESELLER OR LICENSOR

CBWE Hosting is acting only as a reseller or licensor of certain services, hardware, software and equipment used in connection with the products and/or Services that were or are manufactured or provided by a third party (“Non-CBWE Hosting Product”). CBWE Hosting shall not be responsible for any changes in the Services that cause the Non-CBWE Hosting Product to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect the performance of the Services. If you provide FTP access to a third party to utilize any Non-CBWE Hosting Product, CBWE Hosting is not liable for any malfunctions or defects or any losses of any kind resulting from such access. Any malfunction or manufacturer’s defects of Non-CBWE Hosting Product either sold, licensed or provided by CBWE Hosting to User or purchased directly by User used in connection with the Services will not be deemed a breach of CBWE Hosting’s obligations under this Agreement. Any rights or remedies User may have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of Non-CBWE Hosting Product are limited to those rights extended to User by the manufacturer of such Non-CBWE Hosting Product. User is entitled to use any Non-CBWE Hosting Product supplied by CBWE Hosting only in connection with User’s permitted use of the Services.

USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS

“UNLIMITED” USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS

1. “Unlimited” usage policies and definitions apply only to shared and reseller hosting accounts.
2. What “Unlimited” means

CBWE Hosting does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Subscriber can use. In good faith and subject to these Terms, CBWE Hosting makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Subscribers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites successfully, as long as the Subscriber’s use of the service complies with these Terms. By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to provide simple, consistent pricing to our Subscribers as they grow their websites. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and resulting increased storage without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.

3. What “Unlimited” DOES NOT mean

CBWE Hosting employs complex mechanisms to protect its Subscribers and systems from abuse. CBWE Hosting’s offering of “unlimited” services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Subscribers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Subscribers. Some of CBWE Hosting’s Services are a shared hosting service, which means that multiple Subscriber websites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. CBWE Hosting’s service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website Subscribers in the United States. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, internationally based businesses, or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server. CBWE Hosting will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Subscribers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, CBWE Hosting does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until CBWE Hosting can evaluate said sites resource needs.

4. Unlimited Hosting Space; excessive MySQL files

CBWE Hosting does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber’s website, nor does CBWE Hosting charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber’s use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that with the exception of Subscribers who purchase online backup storage and/or services, the CBWE Hosting service is designed to host websites. CBWE Hosting does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber’s account, with or without notice. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. CBWE Hosting may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber’s account, with or without notice. In good faith, we will make every reasonable effort to work with every Subscriber if their account, in our sole discretion, exceeds what we deem to be “fair use”, with the understanding that such efforts may require an increase in charges to accommodate the Subscriber’s needs.

5. Unlimited File Transfer

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

6. Unlimited Domain Hosting

CBWE Hosting does not set arbitrary limits on the number of domain names a Subscriber can associate with the Subscriber’s web hosting account.

VPS AND DEDICATED HOSTING USAGE POLICIES

1. Bandwidth Usage

Reseller and Dedicated Hosting accounts are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Reseller and Dedicated Hosting accounts are required to keep at least one (1) month service fees pre-paid with us to account for overages which may be incurred. Once the overages exceed the allocated monthly amount, we reserve the right to (i) suspend the account until the start of the next month’s allocation; (ii) suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee; (iii) suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package; (iv) terminate the account; and/or (v) charge you an additional fee for the overages. In good faith, we will make every reasonable effort to work and communicate with every Subscriber if their Reseller account exceeds their monthly allotment of resources to avoid suspension. Unused bandwidth in one month cannot be carried over to the next month and bandwidth may not be pooled among multiple servers or accounts.

2. Availability of Support

CBWE Hosting will provide a default Operating System installation on the Dedicated Server hardware that permits super-user server access to our support staff. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that if Subscriber alters or removes this server access, CBWE Hosting’s ability to provide technical support to the Subscriber may be severely limited.

3. Subscriber Super-user Access

Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber is solely responsible for any changes made with super-user access and that CBWE Hosting may not be able to reverse any changes and/or recover data lost or damaged through the use of super-user privileges. CBWE Hosting’s level of support to those users accessing super-user privileges will be limited as follows:

1. Reinstallation of corrupted modules, such as control panel files, web server files, etc.
2. Reinstallation of the baseline OS and core file image at Subscriber’s request. Subscriber must acknowledge that they understand that a new image install will cause the complete loss of all data stored on the server.
3. If Subscriber has purchased backup services, the restoration of files from available backups at Subscriber’s request. This restoration will be a full restore of the backup files; CBWE Hosting does not offer file-by-file restoration services.
4. CBWE Hosting will not attempt any configuration or setup of DNS, firewalls, web server, etc.
5. CBWE Hosting will attempt basic diagnostics upon Subscriber’s request. CBWE Hosting does not offer in-depth manual diagnostics as part of the Service. Subscriber may contact CBWE Hosting Professional Services to inquire about additional support offerings.

PARKED PAGE SERVICES

CBWE Hosting provides Parked Page Services on domains registered through or hosted with CBWE Hosting. User can opt out of the Parked Page Services at any time by simply replacing the default web page on the parked domain or pointing the DNS away from CBWE Hosting. By using any of the Parked Pages Services, User agrees that CBWE Hosting may point the domain name or DNS to one of CBWE Hosting’s or CBWE Hosting’s affiliates web pages, and that they may place advertising on User’s web page and that CBWE Hosting specifically reserves this right. User shall have no right to any compensation and shall not be entitled and shall have no right to receive any funds related to the monetization of User’s Parked Pages. User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CBWE Hosting for any complications arising out of use of the Parked Page Services, including, but not limited to, actions CBWE Hosting chooses to take to remedy User’s improper or illegal use of a Web site hosted by CBWE Hosting. User agrees it is not entitled to a refund of any fees paid to CBWE Hosting. If a dispute arises as a result of one or more of User’s Parked Pages, User will indemnify, defend and hold CBWE Hosting harmless for damages arising out of such dispute. User also agrees that if CBWE Hosting is notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative or judicial body, regarding a website hosted by CBWE Hosting that CBWE Hosting, in its sole discretion, may take whatever action CBWE Hosting deems necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the website to comply with the actions or requirements of the governmental, administrative or judicial body until such time as the dispute is settled.

RESELLER AGREEMENT

In addition to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable to Resellers, including VPS and Dedicated Hosting Customers utilizing their Account to provide Reseller services.

1. The Reseller agrees, on behalf of both the Reseller and each user signed up by the Reseller, to comply with these Terms of Service.
2. In the event that a Reseller or a Reseller’s user is determined to be in violation of the Terms of Service, the Reseller shall, upon receipt of notice of the violation, take prompt action to ensure that the account in question is updated to be in full compliance with the Terms of Service.
3. CBWE Hosting is not responsible for the actions or misrepresentations of Resellers. The Reseller hereby agrees to indemnify CBWE Hosting from and against any and all claims made by any user that result from the Reseller’s misrepresentation, breach of the Terms of Service or other improper actions by the Reseller.
4. CBWE Hosting reserves the right to revise its Reseller Programs, Terms of Service at any time. Changes shall take effect when posted online or on any subsequent date as may be set forth in any required notice provided by us in connection therewith.
5. Users who have been signed up by Resellers agree to operate their websites in accordance with the Terms of Service.
6. Resellers cannot make any modifications to the Terms of Service. Any such alterations shall be deemed a violation of the Terms of Service and could result in a cancellation of a Reseller’s account(s). CBWE Hosting is not responsible for any modifications made to the Terms of Service by Resellers.
7. Resellers in the Reseller Program assume all responsibility for billing and technical support for each of their Users. CBWE Hosting reserves the right to refuse inquiries made to customer support from the customers of Resellers.

VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVERS (VPS) OR VIRTUAL DEDICATED SERVERS

When creating a VPS account, we split dedicated servers into independent areas, referred to as “Containers.” Each Container is allotted its own disk space, CPU power, bandwidth, and memory. This isolation of server space allows for independent server customization for which each User is responsible. In addition to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable to VPS Users:

1. Each User is solely responsible for providing the firewalls, software, web files, content and operating systems for the User’s Container.
2. Each User is solely responsible for all installation, maintenance, security and backup of the operating system, software, files and data used in the User’s Container, as well as any reinstalls and changes.
3. Each User is solely responsible for all activities conducted in connection with the User’s Container.

PROPERTY RIGHTS

These Terms do not give Subscriber any rights in CBWE Hosting intellectual property or technology. CBWE Hosting and related trademarks and logos are the exclusive property of CBWE Hosting. CBWE Hosting and Subscriber agree that neither will, directly or indirectly, reverse engineer or decompile object code or execution code, nor otherwise seek to obtain source code or trade secrets of the other party.
