The AUP

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-

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.
-

not more than $150.
-

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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.

Network Security: Users are prohibited from violating or
attempting to violate the security of the Alfonsi Network Network.

involved in such violations. These violations include, without
limitation:

network, or if denial of service attacks are originating from your
network. In certain rare cases, we may have to do this before
attempting to contact you. If we do this, we will contact you as
soon as is feasible.
-
Suspension of
Service or Cancellation: Alfonsi Network reserves the right to
suspend network access to any customer if in the judgment of the
Alfonsi Network network administrators the customer's server is the
source or target of the violation of any of the other terms of the AUP
or for any other reason which Alfonsi Network chooses. If
inappropriate activity is detected, all accounts of the Customer in
question will be deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior
notification to the Customer is not assured. In extreme cases, law
enforcement will be contacted regarding the activity. The customer
will not be credited for the time the customer's machines were
suspended.

Network reserves the right to amend its policies at any time. All
