By ordering our services in any way you are agreeing to be bound by our terms and
conditions below.
Policy and Service Guidelines
We want to provide the best possible service to our customers and to do so we have
to set forth some guidelines for everyone to follow. These terms and conditions
override any email, chat session, or contact of any kind with any of our staff.
This Agreement will become effective when accepted by both parties.
Content
All services provided by us may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission,
storage, or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any
United States, Federal, State, City, Country or Province law is prohibited. This
includes, but is not limited to: Copyrighted Material, Trademark, Intellectual property,
Material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret
and other statute without proper authorization. The subscriber agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Boosted Servers from any claims resulting from the use of the
service that damages the subscriber or any other party. Pornography and sex-related
merchandising and material is prohibited on all sites hosted by Tenacious Host.
This includes sites that may infer sexual content, or links to adult content elsewhere.
Boosted Servers will be the sole arbiter in determining violations of this provision.
If pornography is found on our server, the offending account will be deleted immediately
without warning and refunds of money. Also prohibited are sites that promote any
illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to Boosted Servers servers
or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.
Examples of unacceptable content or links: Pirated software Hacker / Cracker programs
or archives Warez sites. Boosted Servers will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of this provision. We advise you not to participate in these types of
sites, as we keep your sites private and will not give out the site that we host.
We do though a regular check for unaccepted material on our servers, If we shall
find any we will terminated the account without warning or refunds of money.
E-mail
Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited e-mail or message board posts including,
without limitation, commercial advertising and informational announcements, from
our server(s) or using an e-mail address or domain that is maintained on a Boosted
Servers machine as reference in that spam is STRICTLY prohibited. Domains and sites
are subject to being canceled immediately off of our server as well as fined no
less than $500 US. A user shall not use another site's mail server to relay mail
without the express permission of the site. Boosted Servers will be the sole arbiter
as to what constitutes a violation of these provisions. To reduce loads on our servers
we have imposed a restriction on how many times you may check your e-mail in an
hour. This limit is 60 times. This does not mean that you will lose any e-mail during
that given time, it just means that you cannot sit with your e-mail program open
and hit the receive button every 30 seconds. To reduce the possibility of spam and
to reduce the load on our servers we have imposed a restriction on how many e-mails
each domain may send out in a given hour. That limit is 250 per hour. We believe
that 6000 e-mails in a 24-hour period of time are plenty.
Hosting Packages
We reserve the right to change the packages that we offer, including prices in any
way without prior notice. We normally will send out an announcement when we change
this but we reserve the right not to.
System and Network Security
Violations of the Boosted Servers system or network security are prohibited, and
may result in criminal and civil liability. Boosted Servers will investigate incidents
involving such violations and may involve and will cooperate with law enforcement
if a criminal violation is suspected. Examples of system or network security violations
include, but not limited to, the following:
1. 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.
2. Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any system or network without express
authorization of the owner of the system or network.
3. Interference with service to any user including, but not limited to, mail bombing,
flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks.
4. Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in
e-mail or a newsgroup posting.
Boosted Servers reserves the right to report illegal activities to any and all regulatory,
administrative, and / or governmental authorities for prosecution.
IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
Age
The client must be 16 years of age to obtain our hosting services. If a client is
under the age of 16 and would like to obtain our hosting services then it is necessary
for a parent or guardian to enter this agreement.
Server Abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of Boosted Servers
is strictly prohibited.
Resource Usage
All clients are expected to use normal server resources, if your site/server is
using more then normal we have the right to change your account to fix the problem.
If such occurrences happen and cannot be fixed there will be a fee for your account
to stay active. For Game Servers we require your server use no more then 15-20%
CPU and less then 15% memory. If your server is using more server resources we have
the right to edit the server configuration to fix the problem. If you wish to keep
your server as it is configured there will be a fee required to keep your server
running.
Newsgroups
Posting the same or similar message referencing your domain hosted with us in any
way to one or more news groups (excessive cross-posting or multiple-posting, also
known as "SPAM") is explicitly prohibited.
Background Running Programs and Responsible CGI use
We may give you the freedom in executing CGI programs at no cost. Other providers
limit their users access to CGI. We do not. The only favor we ask in return is that
you respect CPU usage. It would be unfair to other users to run a program that hindered
the performance of a server. We reserve the right to disable any CGI script that
affects normal server operation. No database may be used for logging of information
available through our server logs. Databases are only to be used for Boosted Servers
hosted web sites, and no outside access will be granted. No cron job may run more
than once every two hours and must be set up to "nice" at a value of 10 or greater.
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered
on a case-by-case basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources
used and operational maintenance needed. We do not allow Background processes to
be run without our knowledge.
IP Numbers
Boosted Servers maintains control and any ownership of any and all IP numbers and
addresses that may be assigned to the client and reserves in its sole discretion
the right to change or remove any and all IP numbers and addresses (you retain the
ownership of your domain name and all material owned by you contained in your site).
Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Boosted Servers for any loss, damages
or costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any third party claim,
action, or demand related to your account and/or domain. We do not claim ownership
of your content. It is completely yours. All content on your web site is considered
a publication of yours and we are not to be held responsible for anything you present
on the web through your domain in any way.

or being unavailable for any reason whatsoever. Further, Boosted Servers shall not
be responsible for any claimed damages, including incidental or consequential damages,
resulting from the corruption or deletion of any web site from one of Boosted Servers
