Examples of unacceptable material on all Dedicated servers include:
ClassicRidge services, including all related equipment, networks and network devices are provided only for authorized customer use. ClassicRidge systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, including to ensure that use is authorized, for management of the system, to facilitate protection against unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability, and operational security. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied and used for authorized purposes. Use of ClassicRidge system(s) constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes. Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be with expressed written consent from the third party. ClassicRidge may, at its discretion, request and require documentation to prove access to a third party network or system is authorized. 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. Failure to respond to email from our abuse department within 48 hours may result in the suspension or termination of your services. All abuse issues must be dealt with via troubleticket/email and will have a response within 48 hours. Sites hosted on classicridgedesigns.com's service(s) are regulated only by U.S. law. Given this fact, and pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, we do not remove allegedly defamatory material from domains hosted on our service(s). The only exception to this rule is if the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. classicridgedesigns.com is not in a position to investigate and validate or invalidate the veracity of individual defamation claims, which is why we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is indeed considered defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates material is defamatory, libelous, or slanderous in nature; we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a US Court has placed an injunction against specified content or material; we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question. The language of Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services providers like classicridgedesigns.com and many of classicridgedesigns.com's other webhosting services and brands are republishers and not the publisher of content. Our service merely provides a hosting platform and space on which to host content, and any creation or publication of content on our services is the sole responsibility of the third-party user which creates or publishes the content. Therefore, classicridgedesigns.com should not be held liable for any allegedly defamatory, offensive or harassing content published on sites hosted under classicridgedesigns.com's webhosting service(s). If in doubt regarding the acceptability of your site or service, please contact us at support@classicridgedesigns.com and we will be happy to assist you. Potential harm to minors is strictly forbidden, including but not limited to child pornography or content perceived to be child pornography (Lolita): Any site found to host child pornography or linking to child pornography will be suspended immediately without notice. Violations will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency. It is your responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under your account are secure and permissions of directories are set properly, regardless of installation method. When at all possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password. 3.) Zero Tolerance Spam Policy Please read http://www.classicridgedesigns.com/web-hosting/mailpolicy 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. ClassicRidge 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. ClassicRidge reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean up fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal. This cost of the clean up fee is entirely at the discretion of ClassicRidge. 4.) Payment Information Web Hosting Cancellations must be done in writing via the cancellation form provided. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all necessary information with you via e-mail, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject for your reference, and for verification purposes. We will confirm your request (and process your cancellation) shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, please contact us immediately via phone. We require that cancellations of service are done through the online form to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing you are prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process reduces the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and ensures you are aware that the files, emails, and account may be removed immediately after a cancellation request is processed. As a client of ClassicRidge, it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. You agree that until and unless you notify ClassicRidge of your desire to cancel any or all services received (by the proper means listed in the appropriate section of the Terms of Service), those services will be billed on a recurring basis, unless otherwise stated in writing by ClassicRidge. ClassicRidge provides a 10 day grace period from the time the invoice is generated and when it must be paid. Any invoice that is outstanding for 10 days and not paid will result in a late fee and/or an account suspension until account balance has been paid in full. The late fee is applied in addition to whatever else is owed to ClassicRidge for services rendered. Access to the account will not be restored until payment has been received. It is the customer's responsibility to notify our sales team via email at support@classicridgedesigns.com after paying for a domain renewal and to ensure the email is received and acted upon. Domain renewal notices and invoices are provided as a courtesy reminder and ClassicRidge cannot be held responsible for failure to renew a domain or failure to notify a customer about a domain's renewal. Subsequently, domain renewals are billed and renewed 30 days before the renew date. It is the customer's responsibility to notify our sales team via email at support@classicridgedesigns.com for any domain registration cancellation. No refunds can be given, once a domain is renewed. All domain registrations, and renewals are final. Invoices that have been paid more than once with multiple Paypal Subscriptions can only be added as credit towards the account and cannot be refunded via Paypal. If you require assistance with this provision, please contact support@classicridgedesigns.com ClassicRidge reserves the right to change the monthly payment amount and any other charges at anytime. 5.) Backups and Data Loss 6.) Cancellations and Refunds Discounted web hosting (such as multi-year discounts) may be cancelled at any time, but you will forfeit the discounted rate if the term has not been completed, and instead be charged the current full monthly rate ($4.95, or $7.95/month if you have dedicated IP) for the hosting used. SSL certificates are not refundable in any circumstance. ClassicRidge reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to the account at any time with or without notice. Any abuse of our staff in any medium or format will result in the suspension or termination of your services. Customers may cancel at any time via support@classicridgedesigns.com with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. 10.) Reselling 11.) Price Change 12.) Coupons 13a.) Indemnification 13b.) Arbitration 14.) Disclaimer 15.) Disclosure to law enforcement 16.)
