CLOUD HOSTING PACKAGES

1.0 - Account Setup / Email on file:

1. We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. If you have a domain name registered with DEELKO, it is your responsibility to ensure that the contact information for your domain account and your actual domain name(s) is correct and up-to-date. DEELKO is not responsible for a lapsed registration due to outdated contact information being associated with the domain. If you need to verify or change this information, you should contact our sales team via email. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. In dedicated server purchases or high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.

1.1 - Ownership:

1. Biller e-mail address which is utilized for payment on the account is designated as the authorized owner of the account.

1.2 - Transfers:

1. Our transfer’s team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we cannot make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

1.3 - Dedicated IP Address Allocation:

1. Any dedicated IP order in addition to ones provided with a hosting package may be subject to IP Justification. Justification practices are subject to change to remain in conformity with policies of American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). We reserve the right to deny any dedicated IP request based on insufficient justification or current IP utilization.

1.4 - Third Party Providers:

1. All transactions with third party providers are solely between the visitor and the individual provider. DEELKO is not the agent, representative, trustee or fiduciary of you or the third party provider in any transaction. Some products provided by DEELKO are provided under license with vendors, and the use of any such third party products will be governed by the applicable license agreement, if any, with such third party.
2. All discounts, promotions and special third party offers may be subject to additional restrictions and limitations by the third party provider. All transactions with third party providers are subject to the terms and conditions under which the provider agrees with you to provide the goods or services. You should confirm the terms of any purchase and/or use of goods or services with the specific provider with whom you are dealing.
3. We do not make any representations or warranties regarding, and are not liable for, the quality, availability, or timeliness of goods or services provided by a third party provider. You undertake all transactions with these providers at your own risk. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding third party providers.

4. It is your responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under your account are secure and permissions of directories are set properly, regardless of installation method. When at all possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.

7. DEELKO services, including all related equipment, networks and network devices are provided only for authorized customer use. DEELKO systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, including to ensure that use is authorized, for management of the system, to facilitate protection against unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability, and operational security. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied and used for authorized purposes. Use of DEELKO system(s) constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes.
8. Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be with expressed written consent from the third party. DEELKO may, at its discretion, request and require documentation to prove access to a third party network or system is authorized.
9. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.
10. Failure to respond to email from our abuse department within 48 hours may result in the suspension or termination of your services. All abuse issues must be dealt with via troubleticket/email and will have a response within 48 hours.
11. Sites hosted on DEELKO.com’s service(s) are regulated only by U.S. law. Given this fact, and pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, we do not remove allegedly defamatory material from domains hosted on our service(s). The only exception to this rule is if the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. DEELKO.com is not in a position to investigate and validate or invalidate the veracity of individual defamation claims, which is why we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is indeed considered defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates material is defamatory, libelous, or slanderous in nature; we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a US Court has placed an injunction against specified content or material; we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question.
12. The language of Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services providers like DEELKO.com and many of DEELKO.com’s other webhosting services and brands are republishes and not the publisher of content. Our service merely provides a hosting platform and space on which to host content, and any creation or publication of content on our services is the sole responsibility of the third-party user which creates or publishes the content. Therefore, DEELKO.com should not be held liable for any allegedly defamatory, offensive or harassing content published on sites hosted under DEELKO.com’s webhosting service(s).
13. If in doubt regarding the acceptability of your site or service, please contact us at abuse@deelko.com and we will be happy to assist you.

6.0 - Cancellations and Refunds:

1. DEELKO reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to the account at any time with or without notice.
2. Exchange rate fluctuations for international payments are constant and unavoidable. All refunds are processed in U.S. dollars, and will reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. All refunds are subject to this fluctuation and DEELKO is not responsible for any change in exchange rates between time of payment and time of refund.
3. Cancellations requested after the initial 45 days for Shared and Reseller accounts will go into effect on the renewal date for that particular hosting package. Unless specifically requested, the account will remain active until the period expires. If the account is eligible, any request for a refund outside of the initial 45 day period will be given on a prorated basis with any previous extended term discount withheld. Refunds are to be determined once the account has been canceled. Payments older than 60 days may require a refund via PayPal or mailed check due to our merchant account policies and procedures.
4. The following methods of payments are non-refundable, and refunds will be posted as credit to the hosting account:
   1. Bank Wire Transfers
   2. Western Union Payments
   3. Checks
   4. Money orders
5. There are no refunds on dedicated servers, administrative fees, and install fees for custom software.

Eligibility of said refunds will be determined at the time of cancellation.
6. Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund or if you have opened a second account with us.
7. Violations of the Terms of Service will waive the refund policy.

7.0 - Resource Usage:

1. User may not:
   1. Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
   2. Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
   3. Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
   4. ) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
   5. Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
   6. Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
   7. Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
   8. Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
   9. Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.
   10. When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include(“include.php”)
   11. To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml).
   12. Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.

7.1 - INODES:

1. The use of more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken future suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however databases will still be backed up. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.
2. Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

7.2 - Backup Limit:

1. Any shared account using more than 20 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the exception of Databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive which helps protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.

8.0 - Bandwidth Usage:

1. You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.

9.0 - Uptime Guarantee:

1. If your shared / reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of DEELKO dependent upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services.

10.0 - Reseller: Client Responsibility:

1. Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. DEELKO does not provide support to our Reseller’s Clients. If a reseller’s client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients’ behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients’. DEELKO will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service.

11.0 - Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semidedicated Servers:

1. Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people, if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account. Semi-dedicated servers are not backed up. You must maintain your own backups.
2. The Business plan provides a free toll-free number for your web site and business. Minutes Included Per Month: 100 — Additional Minutes: 4.9 Cents. Included minutes are based on a calendar month. By default, you’ll be able to receive calls from US callers only. You can enable calls from Canada in your control panel, but will be billed 6.9 cents per minute for all calls from Canada due to the increased costs of providing service there. This service is provided and supported by Voipo for new DEELKO clients.
*Please note: Toll-Free numbers issued must be called at least once every 30 days. Toll-free numbers with 0 calls in a 30 day period will be considered inactive and disconnected. If you cancel your hosting package with DEELKO or switch to a plan other than the business plan, your toll-free number will be disconnected unless you contact VOIPo to change to a paid service plan prior to the DEELKO cancellation.

12.0 - Dedicated Servers:

1. DEELKO reserves the right to reset the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current so that we may do security audits as required by our datacenter. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for their dedicated server on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. DEELKO reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter. Dedicated servers are NOT backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this. It is your responsibility to maintain backups.

13.0 - Price Change:

Any account found in violation of these policies will be reviewed by our sales department and the appropriate invoices will be added to the account. Coupon abuse will not be tolerated and may result in the suspension or termination of the account. Coupons or discounts are only valid towards the initial purchase, and do not affect the renewal or recurring price.

15.0 - Indemnification:

Customer agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save and hold DEELKO harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees asserted against DEELKO, its agents, its customers, officers and employees, that may arise or result from any service provided or performed or agreed to be performed or any product sold by customer, its agents, employees or assigns. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless DEELKO against liabilities arising out of; (1) any injury to person or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed in connection with DEELKO; (2) any material supplied by customer infringing or allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party; (3) copyright infringement and (4) any defective products sold to customers from DEELKO’s server.

15.1 - Arbitration:

If any disputes or claims arise against DEELKO or its subsidiaries, such disputes will be handled by an arbitrator of DEELKO’s choice.

Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. All decisions rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final.
