By using SYSHosting services, Customer hereby agrees to SYSHosting's Terms of Service (TOS), Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), Zero Tolerance Spam Policy (ZTSP) and Privacy Policy (PP).

Unless otherwise specified, in this TOS, the AUP, the ZTSP and the PP, the usage of "us", "we", "our", and "ours" shall refer to SYSHosting, an online hosting provider. The usage of "you", "your", "they", and "them" shall refer to the Customer of SYSHosting.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and contingent on Customer's satisfaction of SYSHosting's credit approval requirements, SYSHosting agrees to provide the web hosting services described in the Order for the fees stated in the Order.

The initial service term of the Agreement shall begin on the date that SYSHosting generates an e-mail message to Customer announcing the activation of the Customer's account (the "Service Commencement Date") and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for up to three successive renewal terms of the same length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Term") unless SYSHosting or Customer provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.

Customer agrees to use the service in compliance with applicable law and SYSHosting’s Acceptable Use Policy posted at aup.html (the “AUP”), which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Agreement. Customer agrees that SYSHosting may, in its reasonable commercial judgment consistent with industry standards, amend the AUP from time to time to further detail or describe reasonable restrictions and conditions on Customer’s use of the Services. Amendments to the AUP are effective on the earlier of SYSHosting’s notice to Customer that an amendment has been made, or the first day of any Renewal Term that begins subsequent to the amendment. Customer agrees to cooperate with SYSHosting’s reasonable investigation of any suspected violation of the AUP. In the event of a dispute between SYSHosting and Customer regarding the interpretation of the AUP, SYSHosting’s commercially reasonable interpretation of the AUP shall govern.

Customer represents and warrants to SYSHosting that the information he, she or it has provided and will provide to SYSHosting for purposes of establishing and maintaining the service is accurate. If Customer is an individual, Customer represents and warrants to SYSHosting that he or she is at least 18 years of age. SYSHosting may rely on the instructions of the person listed as the Primary Customer Contact on the Order with regard to Customer’s account until Customer has provided a written notice changing the Primary Customer Contract.

We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times.

For high risk transactions (As marked by our billing system), we may ask you to provide copy/scan of government issued identification, proof of address and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. We may also call you on your provided contact number. If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.

Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account.

Our transfer team will make every effort to help you move your site(s) to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability or the amount of time required to complete an account transfer.

Each hosting company has a different set of configurations, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in transfer of data from your old host.

The free transfer services are available for forty five (45) days from your sign up date and are limited to twenty (20) of your accounts (or your clients) to SYSHosting. Transfers outside of the forty five (45) day period or more than twenty (20) accounts may require additional fees to be paid. Please contact our transfer department with specific details to receive a price quote.

All services provided by SYSHosting may only be used for lawful purposes. Use of our services to infringe upon any copyright or trademark is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to unauthorized copying of music, books, photographs, or any other copyrighted work. The offer of sale of any counterfeit merchandise of a trademark holder will result in the immediate suspension of your account. Any account found to be in violation of another’s copyright will be expeditiously removed, or access to the material disabled. Any account found to be in repeated violation of copyright laws will be suspended and/or terminated from our hosting.

Using a shared/reseller hosting account as a backup/storage device is not permitted, with the exception of cPanel backup of the same account. Please do not take backups of your backups.

Resellers: As a reseller, you are solely responsible for all accounts hosted under your main account account. It is your responsibility to periodically check your users/clients websites and make sure they are following our TOS and not breaking any law. If we found any of your hosted clients violating our TOS, we will suspend the site in question and will notify you so you may handle the situation. We will further monitor your activity; more than one infraction of this type may result in the immediate suspension of your account.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.

We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), bulk emailing, and spam over our network. “Safe lists” and purchased lists will be treated as spam. Under no circumstances are you to solicit the sending of UCE or SPAM over our network or you will be subject to penalties and service termination.

Please read THIS for our generalized mail policy.

Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, phone, email, instant messaging, or Usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.

SYSHosting reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site, account, database, or other component that does not comply with its established policies, or to make any such modifications in an emergency at its sole discretion. If your actions have caused any IP addresses of any of SYSHosting’s servers to be placed on any blacklists or any other email filtering software systems, a $50 charge will be added to your account. You may also be charged for additional admin time required to remove and protect our IP Space from any blacklist or email filtering system. This cost of the clean up fee is entirely at the discretion of SYSHosting.

Resellers: As our Resellers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the network, it is advisable that Reselelrs develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.

Fees are payable in advance on the first day of each billing cycle. You agree that until and unless you notify SYSHosting of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis.

As a client of SYSHosting, it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. SYSHosting provides a five (5) day grace period from the time the invoice is due and when it must be paid. Any invoice that is overdue for five (5) days and not paid will result in account suspension until the account balance has been paid in full. You will also be charged a late fee of $10 in order to unsuspend the account. Any account that is overdue for 30 days and has not paid will be automatically terminated.

Invoices that have been paid more than once with multiple Paypal Subscriptions (or any other form of payment) can only be added as credit towards the account and can not be refunded. If you require assistance with this, please contact with our billing department.

• Fee Increases.
The amount you pay for hosting will never increase from the date of purchase without prior notice. We reserve the right to change prices listed on SYSHosting.com and the right to increase the amount of resources given to plans at any time.

Any price change will be effective on first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer of the new fees at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).
• Late Fees.
Customer acknowledges that any invoice that is not paid within five (5) days will be subject to a $10.00 late fee.
• Refunds and Disputes.
All payments to SYSHosting are non-refundable. This includes the one-time setup charge (if applicable) and subsequent charges or fees regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be handled directly via the SYSHosting Billing Team within seven (7) days of the overcharge or dispute. Initiation of a formal complaint or chargeback for services from SYSHosting is a strict violation of this TOS.

Also if a customer purchases a 2nd, 3rd, etc. hosting package and wishes to cancel this particular package they are not eligible for a refund. If you exceed your bandwidth limit within the first 30 days of service you are not eligible for the 30 day money back guarantee.

Resellers.
We allow our resellers to oversell their allotted bandwidth and space. That means, as a reseller you can host more accounts as long as your total disk space and bandwidth usage does not exceed allowed limits. However, we do not believe in unlimited hosting plans so we strictly forbid our resellers offering unlimited disk or space allocation. (Your account can get suspended for this)

By default, all of our resellers are hosted on same machines as our professional hosting account. That means they have same resource allocation/limits as our professional/premium clients. If any of your client account will exceed our resources limit, we will ask you to reduce the resource usage or upgrade it to our higher plan (such as semi-dedicated).

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the bandwidth overage. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month. If you exceed your bandwidth limit within the first 30 days of service you are not eligible for the 30 day money back guarantee and you are responsible to pay for any overage.

SYSHosting is not a domain registrar. We are a reseller for NetEarthOne so all SYSHosting customers who purchase a domain or transfer a domain to us are bound by the terms and conditions set forth by NetEarthOne. You will receive notice from SYSHosting once your domain is up for renewal. If you do not renew your domain by the expiration date you run the risk of loosing your domain.

Customer agrees that SYSHosting may, without notice to Customer, (i) report to the appropriate authorities any conduct by Customer or any of Customer's customers or end users that SYSHosting believes violates applicable law, and (ii) provide any information that it has about Customer or any of its customers or end users in response to a formal request from a law enforcement or regulatory agency or in response to a formal request in a civil action that on its face meets the requirements for such a request.

SYSHosting performs nightly (and/or weekly) backups of accounts as a courtesy service only. SYSHosting is not responsible for the completeness, integrity, or freshness of your account backup. We highly recommend you to have your own backup system in place. Our backups are intended for disaster recovery purposes only.

We will make every attempt and do our level best to maintain backups of your accounts, however, as with any data storage systems, backups can fail (and they do). We encourage you to perform your own backups. You can backup your website yourself via the cPanel Account Backup feature. If you need any assistance with this, please contact our support department.

If our shared/reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive credit as per our SLA. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of SYSHosting dependant upon justification provided.

To claim your uptime credit, please open up a billing ticket at the end of the month with the dates, times and durations of the outage and we will investigate your claim.

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SYSHosting, SYSHosting's affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, punitive damages, amounts in interest, expenses and disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys fees) brought by a third party under any theory of legal liability arising out of or related to the actual or alleged use of Customer's services in violation of applicable law or the AUP by Customer or any person using Customer's log on information, regardless of whether such person has been authorized to use the services by Customer.

SYSHosting does not warrant or represent that the services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. To the extent permitted by applicable law SYSHosting disclaims any and all warranties including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all services are provided on an "as is" basis.

Neither party shall be liable to the other for any lost profits, or any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive loss or damage of any kind, or for damages that could have been avoided by the use of reasonable diligence, arising in connection with the agreement, even if the party has been advised or should be aware of the possibility of such damages.

Notwithstanding anything else in the agreement to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of SYSHosting and any of its employees, agents or affiliates, under any theory of law (including breach of contract, tort, strict liability, and infringement) shall be a payment of money not to exceed the amount payable by customer for one months of service.

Notices to SYSHosting under the Agreement shall be given via electronic mail to the e-mail address posted for customer support on SYSHosting-Support-URL.

Customer may change his, her or its notice address by a notice given in accordance with this Section.

SYSHosting shall not be in default of any obligation under the Agreement if the failure to perform the obligation is due to any event beyond SYSHosting’s control, including, without limitation, significant failure of a portion of the power grid, significant failure of the Internet, natural disaster, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, strikes or other organized labor action, terrorist activity, or other events of a magnitude or type for which precautions are not generally taken in the industry.
