TERMS OF SERVICE

KEYNETZ reserves the right to suspend or cancel a client's access to any or all services should we decide, in our own estimation, that an account has been inappropriately used. This applies to all accounts held by a client in the event that one account is used inappropriately. Overdue accounts will be sent to collections and access to account will be suspended until account has been paid up to date.

Server Abuse

Any attempt to cause harm to a server or client of KEYNETZ or to access files and services for which you are not specifically authorized is strictly prohibited.

Any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization is prohibited and may result in prosecution under the full extent of the law and may include, but is not limited to: warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action.


KEYNETZ reserves the right to discontinue service or deny access to anyone who violates our terms and conditions and further reserves the right to do so WITHOUT WARNING. If an account is terminated for violation of our terms of service no refunds will be made for any fees paid, including set-up fees and payments in advance for any period of time.

Authorized Use of Servers

KEYNETZ Web Hosting servers are for web hosting only. Any use of the servers for bulk emailing, unsolicited emailings, newsgroup spamming, illegal content, copyright or trademark infringement, warez, cracks, software serial numbers, or links to any of the above services, including through third-party banner-link programs, is strictly prohibited. Use of the servers for running game or IRC servers or bots is prohibited. Sites containing "hate" content, content promoting physical harm to any individual or group, content that exploits individuals under the age of 18 years is likewise prohibited. Sites with adult content are not permitted on servers.

Data Transfer

Each account includes a specific data transfer allowance. However, this is not a limit. Your site will be able to use whatever amount of bandwidth it requires and you will be billed at then-current rates for bandwidth (see your account description for details) in excess of your data transfer allowance. By hosting a site with us you accept these charges. You are responsible for all data transfer to and from your account.

Spam & Other Unsolicited Email

Sending spam and other unsolicited email is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, any email which solicits the recipient to visit your site or purchase a product. You may not use an outside, third-party mailer to send spam for your site hosted on our servers or network (spam-vertising), even if they or you do not send the spam through our network.

You may further not post advertisements to non-advertising newsgroups or other public forums with any posting referencing your site on our servers in any way, including using your email address hosted with us.

You may not use your account with us to harass any individual in any way. A single message sent after an individual has requested that you cease contact may be considered harassment.

Technical Support

Reasonable technical support will be provided at no cost during KEYNETZ regular business hours by incoming phone call or email. Free technical support does not include programming assistance, HTML assistance, web design assistance, assistance in using your personal computer, or any assistance with services not provided by KEYNETZ or specifically excluded in this document or elsewhere in any KEYNETZ publication. KEYNETZ reserves the right to define a level of technical support as unreasonable and to enforce limits. Clients may opt to purchase additional technical support, if available, including but not limited to the above-described services at the then-current rates, available from our sales staff. Although Keynetz servers are backed up on a nightly basis, * Keynetz is not responsible for sites using custom portals or scripts. If your site has a backup utility Use It! Charges apply for sites that require restoration or back ups.

Technical support will not be provided to anyone but the account holder. Technical support will not be provided to resellers' customers unless a specific technical support contract has been purchased for that purpose.

Provided Services

While we will make every effort to provide all reasonable upgrades and new technology, KEYNETZ is not obligated to provide any services not described in any of our publications and is not obligated to provide any services which we opt to cancel at any time. In the event that we cancel or discontinue a major service we will provide prorated refunds to those clients who choose to cancel service.

If you require a service which is not described in our publications or account descriptions we will make every effort to provide it, within reason if it is not detrimental to the servers or network. If you require a commercial application which is not installed on our servers and is not in high demand we may, at our option, give you the option of purchasing the application from the vendor for installation.

Payment Policies

All accounts are provided on a prepaid basis. Payment must be received prior to account activation and must be received before each renewal date. Accounts paid by credit card for monthly or quarterly billing will be automatically charged. Accounts paid by credit card for annual billing will not be annually charged except by request of the client. The client is responsible for ensuring that all monthly and quarterly payments paid by check or money order are delivered on time. Invoices will be sent for these amounts, emailed invoice at any time for your current charges.

Payment is accepted via Visa, Mastercard, American Express, in Canadian Funds. There is a $25 fee per returned check or per credit card chargeback received in addition to the fees due for service.

The client is responsible for all money owed on the account, including bandwidth charges, returned payment charges, and any other charges incurred from the date of account set-up through the date of cancellation. Please see the following section for important information regarding cancellation.

If an account is deactivated by KEYNETZ for nonpayment, a reactivation fee of $25 will apply. Any administrative changes or additions to your account will result in a fee of $5.00 per change.

Cancellation Policy

Accounts are considered active, whether in use or not, until the client notifies KEYNETZ in writing and receives confirmation of receipt of cancellation. This policy has been put in place to protect KEYNETZ. We will work with any clients who wish to cancel service and have no intent, by the implementation of this policy, to make lives difficult. On the contrary, we wish to keep all of our clients happy and satisfied with service, even in the event of cancellation. All cancellation requests must be confirmed by some method of identity verification for the client's protection. This will usually be the last four digits of the credit card used to set up the account. Please keep this information with your account information!

Phone requests for cancellation will not be accepted for security reasons. Requests must be made by email with confirmation or in writing.

Refunds

All accounts with KEYNETZ include a 7 day money-back satisfaction guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services within the first 7 days after setup of your first account, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount excluding setup fees and domain registration fees.
