Terms of Service

Introduction

This document is provided as a quick reference and explanatory guide to our policies. The language contained within is not to be construed as legally binding; merely as descriptive guide of the contents of the fully-worded service agreement document.

Illegal Content - files that violate copyright or other federal laws are grounds for instant termination of service. This expressly includes:

Copyrighted Software's ['warez']

Copyrighted Media [MP3 files of commercial recordings, etc]

Proprietary Computer information [e.g. stolen password files]

Abuse & Illegal Activities

Any incident of server abuse is grounds for immediate and unconditional account termination. Common examples of abusive practices are listed below and YourBizHelp.com reserves the right of interpretation as to what constitutes abusive practices. In short - if you are unsure that your actions may be perceived as an abuse of service, contact YourBizHelp.com directly to check with us before proceeding.

Ignorance of the consequences of your actions will not protect you from liability.

YourBizHelp.com will charge a  $200.00 site clean-up fee for any abuse of the terms listed below PLUS, ALL TIME AND RESOURCES TO TRACK AND TRACE ABUSE WILL BE BILLED AT YourBizHelp.com's $65.00 PER HOUR RATE x3 (TRIPLE DAMAGES).

Examples of, but not limited to, are:

Email abuse - Unsolicited Commercial Email ['SPAM'] is implicitly forbidden. UCE costs us time and money, and using our equipment in this way will be treated like it is - illegal theft of service. In many states, sending spam to people without their permission is a felony punishable by law now.

Trafficking of illegal content - in the same way that storing illegal content on your account is banned, likewise is the utilization of your account to traffic illegal content, by any means or method, it must not reside on nor pass through a YourBizHelp.com server.

IRC sessions - Using YourBizHelp.com servers to run an Internet Relay Chat [IRC] session is grounds for immediate termination. This includes the use of BNC and other redirection servers to indicate a source address on any YourBizHelp.com server. Running IRC from our servers makes them targets for attack. Bluntly put, you are not paying us enough to act as a human shield for your IRC wars. Don't run IRC sessions, IRC bots, IRC servers or IRC proxies. We will give no warning before terminating this activity and the account responsible.

Hacking / Denial of Service - Network activity that constitutes an attack on any internet host from a YourBizHelp.com server is grounds for immediate termination & likely prosecution. In short - don't do it, because we wont stand by and watch it happen.

User Processes

Excessive resource usage - cgi scripts or other executable code that consumes an undue amount of CPU time [more than 10 minutes per hour of CPU time] will be reprioritized if possible, or we will ask you to discontinue its use either permanently or the script is altered by yourself or third party to operate in a less resource-hungry manner. Failure to cease operator of the offending executable will be considered as server abuse.

Background processes - background process [that is, application or utilities that are started from within an interactive shell login, and se to run permanently in the background on a server] are not to be initiated without prior arrangement with use. Generally, we accept background processes, so long as they do not openly break one of our other policies - we do however reserve our right to examine all code before it runs on our hardware.

Compiling - User rights to access compiler software is available upon request and arrangement. Once again, we choose to examine any code that is compiled and executed from our hardware. If you need access to the CP compiler, please contact us describing your need for access.
