Email and Zero Tolerance Spam Policy: Updated Dec.01,2007

SPRhost Network takes a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, commonly known as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated without notice, and may be charged a one time administration fine of one hundred ($100) dollars if we can show proof that the user sent the e-mail from our servers or network. SPRhost Network reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site, account, database, or other component that does not comply with this policy, at its sole discretion. SPRhost Network also reserves the right to make any such modifications in an emergency at our sole discretion. As of this date Dec.01,2007 we will no longer be able to Guarantee email service on our shared servers because of spam causing the IP address of the shared server to be blocked on some networks. We will do the best we can if the IP address is blocked to have it removed from the block list, although some networks will not remove the blocked IP.

Hosting Service Provider's Rights:

You agree that SPRhost Network has the right to monitor the service electronically from time to time and to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy the law, or to protect itself or its subscribers. SPRhost Network reserves the right to refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, that, in its sole discretion, are unacceptable, undesirable, or in violation of this agreement. SPRhost Network also reserves the right to refuse refunds in cases where SPRhost Network believes abuse has taken place.

SPRhost Network reserves the right to monitor any and all communications through or with our facilities. You agree that SPRhost Network is not considered a "secure communications medium" for the purposes of the ECPA, and that no expectation of privacy is afforded.

SPRhost Network does not set a usage limit on our Private Hosting customers, however if a customer consumes large amounts of system resources, SPRhost Network reserves the right to send an e-mail notice to the customer and set a limit on the customer's account.

Uptime Guarantee:

You acknowledge that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the Company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes. In no event shall the Company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury. Although many of our own network providers guarantee an uptime of 99% or more, we make no guarantees about uptime performance because we realize there are influencing factors that are outside of our control, and in most cases even outside the control of the data centers and network providers we work with.

Sharing of Account Space & Resale Restrictions:

You represent and warrant that the account you purchase is purchased either for yourself or on behalf of a client if you are a reseller. You agree that as a reseller, you are the individual solely responsible for all use of the account. SPRhost Network is not responsible for the way our resellers use their accounts. If a reseller account is suspended or terminated SPRhost Network reserves the right to suspend or terminate all accounts under that reseller. As a consequence a reseller's client's account may be suspended/terminated. In no way is SPRhost Network responsible for any of loss of data or fees as a result of a reseller account being suspended or terminated.

Hosting Accounts are indeed Disk Space per these terms of service. For all legal and practical purposes, the word "Disk Space", as used in any of our advertising or other material, shall be defined only by these terms of service. These accounts may not to be used to host a collection of MP3's, Warez, or media files. An account may not be used to backup your computer or another source. They may not be used for general storage of any type. All content stored on a hosting account must be directly used on the Internet by the website associated with that account. These accounts may not be used as a download distribution point for your software or files. They are to be used for standard web practices only. This means that all content stored on an hosting account must be used for normal website use. Un-normal usage is anything that a shared server would not be able to provide under standard circumstances. If your account requires resources that are not able to be provided by a shared server, we may require you to rent a dedicated server. If you are unsure of whether your account may violate this policy, please contact us prior to subscribing.
