Pod Web Design reserves the right to change this
Policy any time. Pod Web Design strives to provide the
best possible service to all our customers, but we will
not tolerate any unlawful activity or abuse on our servers.
We respect freedom of speech and expression unless it
is harmful to others. These brief guidelines are imposed
to protect you, other Pod Web Design customers and us
against such harm.
Full payment is required
before any service is rendered, which includes renewals.
For monthly accounts, prepayment is due each 30 days
following the date the account was established. Billing
will continue until you cancel your hosting account.
You may cancel at anytime.
As a policy, we do not offer credits or refunds for
hosting time already expended.
This only applies to cancellation
by the client. If cancellation is done by Pod Web Design
due to restrictions violation, there will be no refund.
Pod Web Design will only allow for the discount if cancellation
is not the fault of the client, as determined by Pod Web Design. All monetary transactions are in $US dollars.
Additional features can be added at any time. Monthly
feature prices are not prorated. Pod Web Design reserves
the right to change prices at any time.
You may cancel at anytime. To cancel
your account, please submit a request to us using our
"Contact Us" form. We may send you an email
to confirm that you wish to cancel.
You agree to use all Pod Web Design
services and facilities at your own risk. Pod Web Design
specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability
and fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall
Pod Web Design be liable for any loss, or loss of data,
or other commercial damage, including but not limited
to special, incidental, consequential or other damages.
Customer agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save
and hold Pod Web Design harmless from any and all demands,
liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including reasonable
attorney’s fees asserted against Pod Web Design,
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 Pod Web Design against liabilities
arising out of:
- Any injury to person or property
caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed
in connection with Pod Web Design server;
- Any material supplied by customer
infringing or allegedly infringing on the proprietary
rights of a third party
- Copyright infringement
- Any defective products sold to customer
from Pod Web Design’s server.
Pod Web Design shall be the sole
judge of what violates this Policy.
If we determine that any site on
our servers is using too much of the server's resources
and therefore abusing the server, we have the right to
suspend that domain without any notice. It is then up
to you to contact us and formulate a plan to get that
domain activated again. We are quick to suspend any domain
that abuses the server's resources due to the shared nature
of the server and the negative impact an abusing domain
has on other domains on the same server.
Pod Web Design is committed to a zero-tolerance, anti-spamming
policy. Under this policy, we prohibit spam, or any
unsolicited commercial email, from being sent either:
over the Pod Web Design network, by customers or any
other users of the Pod Web Design network (including
customers' customers); AND/OR over ANY network—
if the message sent advertises or mentions a site hosted
on the Pod Web Design server.
We react quickly and seriously to violations, and we
further reserve the right to terminate the services,
without prior notice, of any customer disregarding this
policy. Sending unsolicited commercial email (a.k.a.
"spam"), cross-posting messages to a large
number of Usenet groups, posting obscene or threatening
messages while using or referring to an Pod Web Design
email address or website URL is prohibited. The use
of Pod Web Design servers as a mail drop for responses
to activities described above is also prohibited.
If you have any complaints or comments regarding spam
on our network, please direct them to us via email.
All services provided by Pod Web Design
may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission,
storage, or presentation of any information, data or
material in violation of any United States Federal,
State or City law is prohibited. This includes, but
is not limited to: copyrighted material, trademark,
intellectual property, material we judge to be threatening
or obscene, or material protected by trade secret and
other statute without proper authorization. The subscriber
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Pod Web Design
from any claims resulting from the use of the service
which damages the subscriber or any other party.
Pornography and sex-related merchandising is prohibited
on all Pod Web Design servers. This includes sites that
may infer sexual content, or links to adult content
elsewhere. Pod Web Design will be the sole arbiter in
determining violations of this provision.
Also prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity
or present content that may be damaging to Pod Web Design
servers or any other server on the internet. Links to
such materials are also prohibited.
Examples of unacceptable content or
links:
- Pirated software
- Hacker programs or archives
- Warez sites
Pod Web Design does not host sites of
its competitors or web pages promoting sites of its
competitors.
Any illegal activity, including adult content, links
to adult content websites, spamming or hacking will
result in your site being shut down and all your files
deleted without warning.
Pod Web Design will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of this provision.
Pod Web Design allows for very generous
traffic, and most sites never exceed 500MB per month,
unless they offer shareware, sound, video, image and
multimedia archives, are mirror sites or any site whose
primary purpose is file distribution. Pod Web Design
customers are discouraged from storing any files that
cause excessive traffic on Pod Web Design servers. Please
contact Pod Web Design Technical Support team for more
information. Again, 99% of the sites do not fall into
this category and never reach our traffic limits.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for
any reason not prohibited by law. Also we reserve the
right to terminate service to any customer for any reason
not prohibited by law.
Any deliberate attempt to cause damage to Pod Web Design
or any other Internet servers will result in immediate
account deactivation without prior notice. No refund
is given in this case.
All account plans come with a predetermined amount of
traffic allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill
$10.00 for each gig of traffic exceeded. You will NOT
be charged for transfer that you use beyond our generous
data transfer limits without prior notification.
