Alfonsi Network ("The Company") agrees to furnish services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service).

Use of Alfonsi Network Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to Alfonsi Network's 
AUP as well as Alfonsi Network's TOS (Terms of Service).

All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS (Terms of Service) of Alfonsi Network and
AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.

This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, county of New Castel applicable to contracts enforceable in that state.

  1. Disclosure to Law Enforcement: The AUP specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company may disclose any and all subscriber information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc. to any law enforcement agent who makes a written request without further consent or notification to the Subscriber. In addition Alfonsi Network shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement.
     

  2. Service Rates: Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers.
     

  3. Payment: Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month's service.
     

  4. Payments and Fees: Checks returned for any reason are subject to a $30.00 returned item charge. Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a $10 declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 10 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $200 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to a $10 late fee. Accounts that are not collectable by Alfonsi Network may be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a Processing and Collection Fee of not less than $50 nor more than $150. If you desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure to do this as outlined in this TOS.
     

  5. Refund and Disputes: All payments to Alfonsi Network are nonrefundable. This includes the one time setup fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 60 days of the time the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer that, in Alfonsi Network's sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and /or AUP, you agree to pay Alfonsi Network an "Administrative Fee" of not less than $50 and not more than $150.
     

  6. Failure to Pay: The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.
     

  7. Account Cancellation: Requests for canceling accounts may be made in writing with at least 30 days notice but not more than 60 days prior written notice and sent to: hosting @alfonsi.org

  8. Subscriber acknowledges 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 beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company's liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.
     

  9. New Domain Accounts: All new webhosting accounts involving new domains will be set up and entered into our DNS servers within 3 to 5 business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this process may sometimes require up to 7 business days. If the new domain is registered by the account holder, there will be no handling fee. If the domain is registered by Alfonsi Network on behalf of the account holder a handling fee will be incurred.
     

  10. Transfer of Domains: New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from another provider to Alfonsi Network will require a minimum of seven (7) days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer may take. If the transfer of the domain is done by Alfonsi Network on behalf of the account holder a handling fee will be incurred. If the customer cancels service during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered earned.
     

  11. Support Boundaries: Alfonsi Network, provides 24 x 7 technical support to our subscribers (except for few holidays and short company meetings when we close our center.) We limit our technical support to our area of expertise. The following is our guidelines when providing support: Alfonsi Network provides support related to your server or virtual site physical functioning. Alfonsi Network does not offer tech support for application specific issues such as cgi programming, html or any other such issue. Alfonsi Network does not provide technical support for YOUR customers. If you can email, we encourage you to email support for assistance. If you are able to get online and have other questions, the answers may be on our home page - we encourage you to check there first. Lastly, the Help files in the program you are using may have the answer to your question so please do investigate these resources before calling tech support.
     

  12. SPAM and Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE): Alfonsi Network takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that customers of Alfonsi Network may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers of Alfonsi Network may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP (TCP port 25) connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam we reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk email being sent from servers.
     

    1. Violation of Alfonsi Network's SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, Alfonsi Network will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, Alfonsi Network may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, Alfonsi Network may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer's account. Further, Alfonsi Network reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. Alfonsi Network will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.
       

    2. First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $250 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $500 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $175 per hour that Alfonsi Network personnel must spend to investigate the matter. PLEASE, DO NOT SPAM from your account.
       

    3. As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the Alfonsi Network network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE:
    BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY, anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.

    1. IP Address Ownership: If Alfonsi Network assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to Alfonsi Network, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by Alfonsi Network in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. Alfonsi Network shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by Alfonsi Network, and Alfonsi Network reserves the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.
       

    2. Bandwidth and Disk Usage: Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer on the Order Form (the "Agreed Usage"). Alfonsi Network will monitor Customer's bandwidth and disk usage. Alfonsi Network shall have the right to take corrective action if Customer's bandwidth or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which actions may be taken is in Alfonsi Network's sole and absolute discretion. If Alfonsi Network takes any corrective action under this section, Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action. Bandwidth usage is measured on a calendar month basis. Both incoming and outgoing traffic are counted. In the event that a customer exceeds the included allocation, Alfonsi Network may, at its sole discretion, collect a deposit, in the amount of $0.50 per GB, against customer's credit card on file with Alfonsi Network. Data transfer in excess of each server's monthly allowance is automatically billed on or around the 5th of each month, for the previous calendar month. Unused bandwidth allocations cannot be carried over to future months, or applied to other servers.
