Shared Hosting Terms Of Service
Server101 welcomes you and is glad
you have chosen Server101 as your web site host.
Server101
encourages you, the member, to utilize the many services made available to
you, making your web experience a pleasant and successful venture.
The Terms of Service and Conditions of Membership Agreement provides the registered
member with Server101's services, policies and a statement of what is allowed
and not allowed, thereby giving you practical but precise approaches for what is
acceptable to the Server101 Community. By registering with
Server101 as a Member you agree to use the Server101 Site in a manner consistent with
all applicable laws and regulations and in accordance with the terms and conditions
outlined below:
Membership with Server101
Membership is available to anyone who registers with a legitimate electronic mail
address. Server101 does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender or
ethnicity.
Price and Payment
The Member authorizes Server101 to charge all fees due to the submitted payment details.
All hosting contracts are automatically
renewed for another term unless a written notice of cancelation has been given by either
party at least one week in advance of the renewal date / anniversary date.
If an account has been setup and the initial rent and setup fee are not paid, Server101
has the right to immediately close the account and to refuse service.
If for some reason the Member is not completely satisfied, the Member may cancel the
account within thirty (30) days of the Application and receive a full refund of any service
charges. This policy does not apply outside the first 30
day period.
The 30 Day money back Guarantee does not apply to accounts
participating in the free domain offer. Hosting fees will be
refunded minus the setup fee.
All cancellation requests must be initiated by an email from the primary contact person on the account who shall provide sufficient identification. Account terms are final and there are no refunds of unused time if the service contract is canceled by client before the regular expiration date / anniversary date. Any cancellation request shall be effective upon receipt unless otherwise requested.
Definition/Guidelines of Membership
Server101 provides its Members with storage space for their Web Site
together with a personal virtual server (membername.). Members may
also have their own domain name (www.domain.com) mapped to their storage space.
Members must agree to accept our email messages as part of their service. We
only use email to inform you of new membership benefits and features, to let you
know of urgent problems on our site, and to present special members-only
opportunities to buy products and services that are appropriate to the interests
of our Communities. And we keep these messages to a minimum.
Server101 is not responsible for the content of any personal Web Site, and
the views expressed by any of its Members are the responsibility of the posting
Member and not Server101. Server101 does not review Web
pages in any
way before they appear on the Member area of the Site.

Server101, and to cancel membership at anytime. Any site that violates

including, without limitation, copyright or trademark rights; this includes "WAREZ"

Server101 may terminate Membership and any and all information,
communications, Postings, or Web pages at any time, without notice, for conduct
that violates this Agreement or other policies or guidelines set out by
Server101 elsewhere on the Site. Server101 may terminate
Membership and delete any and all information, communications, Postings, or
Web pages for online conduct that Server101 believes is harmful to other
Members, the business of Server101, or other third-party information
providers.
Server101 provides space for Member Web pages but makes no implied or
express warranties about the reliability of these pages. Server101 is not
responsible for any damage caused by loss of access to, or deletion or alteration
of Member pages; individual Members are responsible for monitoring and creating
backups of their pages not Server101.
If Server101 becomes aware of the presence of copyright infringing material
on its server either in the course of its ordinary and reasonable business
activities, or through notification by a third party who alerts Server101,
preferably by certified mail, of the specific location of the alleged presence
of such materials, Server101 will:
1. Contact the Member responsible for the page and alert him or her of the
allegations of copyright infringement and notify the person that within five days
he or she must respond as to why the allegedly infringing material does not
infringe the purported copyright. Server101 will also alert the Member that
absent such a response, Server101 reserves the right to delete the
page/site; and
2. If the Member fails to respond within five days, Server101 will make a
decision whether to remove the page/site. If the alerted party responds to the
allegations and claims the page is not infringing, Server101 will either
forward the response to the third party alleging the infringement, or in the case
that Server101 has discovered the infringement, make a decision whether
to remove the page. If in its sole discretion, Server101 concludes that
one of its Member's home pages contains a particularly flagrant copyright violation,
Server101 reserves the right to delete the offending home page at any time.
