Net-Trend Terms of Service

Content:
All services provided by Net-Trend are to be used for lawful purposes only. Any content (e.g. Pornography, warez and others) deemed illegal by law will result in account termination without notice. Any other content that is unacceptable or undesirable may lead to account termination at the sole discretion of Net-Trend.

System Resource Usage:
If a website is found to be using an unacceptable amount of system resources, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account without notice. Our normal practice is to suspend the website immediately upon discovery of unacceptable resource hogging; but we will still email the account owner, providing him/her a chance to remove the offending site or script.

A common rule of thumb is that chat rooms and top site scripts are not allowed to be hosted on our servers. PHP based message boards are permitted, but customers should be made aware that if it starts rising in popularity this may result in the use of an unacceptable amount of system resources.

Banned Script(s):
CGI based forums are NOT allowed on Net-Trend servers as they are known to be resource intensive in usage. IRC scripts are banned and if found, we reserve the right to terminate the account without notice. Scripts that emulate shell access are banned and will result in immediate account termination without notice. Any other scripts that is deemed harmful to Net-Trend's server or it's customers will be banned.

Overselling:
Reseller clients have the ability to oversell. However, we reserve the right to suspend an account that will cause any detrimental effect on the server.

E-mail:
The sending of unsolicited e-mail (SPAM) from Net-Trend's servers is strictly forbidden. Net-Trend will decide on a case by case basis what constitutes to be spamming.

If the customer requests a restore of an account from the backup drive due to negligence or error from the customer, we will attempt to recover the account data for a flat fee of USD80.
