Hosting Terms and Conditions


The Internet Hosting Company provides Internet World Wide Web page hosting, Marketing, and Development. The Internet Hosting Company has certain legal and ethical responsibilities consisting with the use of its server and equipment involved in these services.

The Internet Hosting Company general policy is to act as a provider of Internet presence. The Internet Hosting Company has specific ethical concerns regarding the use of its computers detailed below. The Internet Hosting Company reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all services provided by The Internet Hosting Company when we decide that the account has been inappropriately used.

Server Abuse

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of The Internet Hosting Company is strictly prohibited.

Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers The Internet Hosting Company will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "Internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning etc.

Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a The Internet Hosting Company customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to The Internet Hosting Company, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

IMPORTANT NOTE - The Internet Hosting Company has the right to discontinue service, or deny access to anyone who violates our Policies or the terms and conditions shown below WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds of fees paid will be made if account termination is due to violation of the terms outlined below.

Customers may not run IRC, bots or clients. Unacceptable uses also include, but are NOT limited to: Bulk emailing, unsolicited emailings, newsgroup spamming, pornographic content, illegal content, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, warez, cracks, software serial numbers, and/or anything else determined by The Internet Hosting Company to be unacceptable use of The Internet Hosting Company's services including abuse of server resources.

Accounts may be terminated that include the following content or which have links to the following content:

  • Providing material that is grossly offensive to the Web community including blatant expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity
  • Promoting or providing instructional information about illegal activities, or promoting physical harm or injury against any group or individual
  • Displaying material containing obscene nudity or pornographic material
  • Displaying material that exploits children under 18 years of age
  • Acts of copyright infringement including offering pirated computer programs or links to such programs, information used to circumvent manufacturer-installed copy-protect devices, including serial or registration numbers for software programs, or any type of cracker utilities

Abuse of Unlimited Traffic

The Internet Hosting Company's customers are privileged to be offered unlimited traffic for their web sites. The intention of The Internet Hosting Company is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an off site storage area for electronic files. All (90%) of your web pages (html) must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on The Internet Hosting Company's server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of The Internet Hosting Company management. Any customer who violates The Internet Hosting Company's Policies in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the problem. If the problem is not resolved within the allotted period, the client will be billed for the overages.

To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply:

Sites with banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domains. Sites with picture galleries (This is any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics) Sites offering download files or archives. (This is any site where 50% or more of there monthly traffic is from file downloads). Sites using more than 30% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. Sites running multimedia files (QuickTime, Real Audio, Real Video, MP3).

For those that do not qualify for the unlimited service for both email and websites , traffic will go unmonitored until you reach 25 GB per month. Thereafter, normal data transfer cost of $40.00/1GB/month will be billed to your account. If you want to pre-pay for bandwidth overages, you will be billed $20.00/1GB/month. You will receive a notice on Tuesday morning detailing your bandwidth usage. You will have 7 days to pay for your overages. If you do not pay for your overages your site will be disabled within 7 days of your first notice.

The Internet Hosting Company will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Unsolicited Email (Spam)

Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account suspension or cancellation. Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such. Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five or six recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. E-mail is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. Upon your first Spam offense your mail will be disabled for 72 hours. Upon your second Spam offense your entire domain will be disabled for 72 hours and you will be fined $200.00 per sent Spam. Upon your third offense your account with The Internet Hosting Company will be terminated, you will be fined $400.00 per sent Spam. No refunds will be given if your account is terminated for Spam.

CGI Scripts

Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal server operation without prior warning.

Chat Rooms

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms, without approving it with the The Internet Hosting Company Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine for others. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.

Abuse of SMTP Mail Server

We do not allow clients to send more than 20 pieces of e-mail per day. If you do send more than 20 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for Network Abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 2000 per day your account will be moved to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $100.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please contact highemail@theinternethost.com.au to have your domain moved.

Background Running Programs

We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

IRC

We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Payment Policies

All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. Setup fees are charged for all new accounts and major account changes and are non-refundable. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. The Internet Hosting Company reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon. Any account not brought current within a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies The Internet Hosting Company at cancel@theinternethost.com to request for termination of services. All payment is in Australian currency. The Internet Hosting Company will bill each client $100 per returned check and $100 per wire transfer received.

Cancellation

The Internet Hosting Company reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and paid by The Internet Hosting Company if The Internet Hosting Company institutes it's right of cancellation. Any violation of policies which results in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer, space etc.)

All of The Internet Hosting Company's web hosting plans are backed by a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services or support within the first 30 days of your contract, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount excluding setup fees and overages. Setup fees are refundable only if the account order is canceled prior to activation. For web hosting contracts of 3 months or less, the full contract amount less any setup fees and overages will be refunded if The Internet Hosting Company is notified within the first 30 days following activation. No refund is available after the 30th day. This policy does not apply to any additional services such as overages, referrer logs, real audio/video, additional disk space, additional pop accounts, etc. Due to security concerns, all account cancellations must be done via our cancellation forms at cancel@theinternethost.com.au. Phone or email requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation. Refunds will be made by company check within 30 days of receipt of cancellation.

Lawful Purpose

The Internet Hosting Company reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Customers may only use The Internet Hosting Company server for lawful purpose. Transmission of any material in violation of any Federal, State or Local regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, and material protected by trade secrets. The designation of any materials as such described above is left entirely to the discretion of The Internet Hosting Company management.
