Web Hosting Terms and Conditions

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

Eideashop general policy is to act as a provider of Internet presence. Eideashop has specific ethical concerns regarding the use of its computers detailed below. Eideashop reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all services provided by Eideashop 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 Eideashop is strictly prohibited.

Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers Eideashop 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 Eideashop customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to Eideashop, 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 - Eideashop 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 Eideashop to be unacceptable use of Eideashop'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

Unsolicited E-mail (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 $100.00 per sent Spam. Upon your third offense your account with Eideashop will be terminated, you will be fined $200.00 per sent Spam. No refunds will be given if your account is terminated for Spam.

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.

All payment is in U.S. Currency. Eideashop will bill each client $50 per returned check and $50 per wire transfer received.

Cancellation

Eideashop reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be prorated and paid by Eideashop if Eideashop institutes it's right of cancellation.

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, phone or e-mail requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation until they are validated by an Eideashop representative.
