Server Abuse Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of sites-tv is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers, sites-tv 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 sites-tv customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to sites-tv, 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 - sites-tv 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 on shared servers. 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 sites-tv to be unacceptable use of sites-tv's services including abuse of server resources. Shared hosting accounts may be terminated that include the following content or which have links to the following content:
Abuse of Unlimited
Traffic sites-tv's customers are privileged to be offered unlimited traffic for their web sites. The intention of sites-tv is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an off site storage area for electronic files. Most of your web pages (html) must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on sites-tv's server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of sites-tv management. Any customer who violates sites-tv's Policies in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the problem. If the problem is not resolved within the allotted period, the client will be billed for the overages. To maintain the integrity of our shared hosting service the following limitations apply:
Unsolicited Email
(Spam) Unsolicited commercial advertisements (spam) are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account cancellation. sites-tv takes a zero-tolerance approach to spam originating from our servers or for spam advertising of domains hosted on our servers. The following activities are not allowed:
Note: If you use the services of another provider to promote a web site hosted by or through sites-tv (spamvertising), then the provisions of the above Policy shall apply as if the spam were sent through our servers. CGI Scripts Each shared web hosting account comes with sites-tv's own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal shared server operation without prior warning. Chat Rooms We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms within a shared hosting account, without approving it with the sites-tv Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install. Abuse of SMTP Mail
Server We do not allow clients to send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day from a shared hosting account. If you do send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for Network Abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 2000 per day your account will be moved to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $50.00/month addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please contact sites-tv Support Team to have your domain moved. Background Running
Programs 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. IRC servers are not permitted on our network. Disk Overages All sites-tv accounts come with metered disk space. Should you use more than your allowed disk space you will be charged $1.00 per ten (10) Megabyte per month. Payment Policies All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. Setup fees are charged for all new accounts and major account changes and are non-refundable. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. sites-tv reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon. Any account not brought current within a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time that the customer notifies sites-tv Support Team to request for termination of services. All payment is in U.S. currency. sites-tv will bill each client $50.00 per returned check, per wire transfer received and per credit card chargeback received. All sites-tv accounts are setup on anniversary billing cycles. Your particular billing cycle corresponds to the contract length that was initially chosen at setup. Your account will automatically renew at this length. There is no fee to change to a shorter billing cycle at the end of the current cycle. However, if you wish to change to a shorter billing cycle, during a current cycle, there will be a $50.00 fee. Please contact the administration if you wish to change your anniversay billing cycle. Any account that is not brought current prior to deactivation will be charged a $25.00 reactivation fee as well as a $15.00 late charge, per domain deactivated. In addition, if your credit card declines for any reason sites-tv will charge your account an additional $1.00 service charge every time your card is declined. Cancellation sites-tv reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and paid by sites-tv if sites-tv institutes it's right of cancellation. Any violation of policies which results in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer, space etc.) All of sites-tv's web hosting plans are backed by a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services or support within the first 30 days of your contract, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount excluding setup fees, domain registration fees, addon/upgrade fees and overages. Setup fees are refundable only if the account order is canceled prior to account activation. For all web hosting clients who cancel, the full contract amount less any setup fees and overages will be refunded if sites-tv is notified within the first 30 days following activation. 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, domain registration fees etc. Due to security concerns, all account cancellations must be done via fax only. Phone or email requests will not constitute acceptance of any cancellation. Refunds will be made by company check or issued back to your credit card within 30 days of receipt of cancellation.
