B. SeeYaOnline.com Web Hosting & E-commerce Customers

The following Terms of Use apply only to SeeYaOnline.com's Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers, and supplement the terms above in section A that apply to all SeeYaOnline.com customers:

Server Resources

Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given the option to either pay additional fees (which will depend on the resources required), reduce the resources used to an acceptable level, or upgrade its service to a Dedicated Server plan. SeeYaOnline.com shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. Any Web Hosting and E-Commerce account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.

CGI Scripts

Any scripts that pose a potential security risk or are deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down or will be automatically removed without prior notice. SeeYaOnline.com does not permit CGI script sharing with domains not hosted by SeeYaOnline.com or any scripts that may be abused for UCE purposes.

Chat Rooms

SeeYaOnline.com does not allow Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to require significant system resources and therefore cannot be permitted as an account option. However, for a small charge, SeeYaOnline.com may provide chat rooms that meet most users' needs and run without hindering system performance.

Background Running Programs and Cron Jobs

SeeYaOnline.com may allow programs to run in the background. These programs will be considered on an individual basis and Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers will incur extra charges based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run background programs please contact SeeYaOnline.com so that we can arrange setup.

IRC

SeeYaOnline.com does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated by Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers.

Software Distribution

SeeYaOnline.com's Web Hosting and E-Commerce accounts are not configured for the purposes of distributing software and/or multimedia products. If you wish to distribute software and/or multimedia files, please contact SeeYaOnline.com to make special arrangements.

Multimedia Files

Multimedia files are defined as any graphics, audio, and video files. SeeYaOnline.com Web Hosting and E-Commerce accounts are not to be used for the purposes of distributing and storing unusual amounts of multimedia files. Any web site whose disk space usage for storing multimedia files exceeds 70% of its total usage, in terms of total size or number of files, will be considered to be using an unusual amount of multimedia files.

Databases

Any database stored on SeeYaOnline.com's Web Hosting and E-Commerce servers shall be limited to the database size allotted for that particular domain's plan/web hosting account.

Adult Content

Due to the special system and network requirements of adult-oriented sites, pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited for Web Hosting and E-Commerce customers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content or provide links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites.

Hate / Discrimination

SeeYaOnline.com Hosting does not permit websites that promote hate, discrimination or violence toward a group based on race, religion or national origin.

C. SeeYaOnline.com Dedicated Server Customers

The following Terms of Use apply only to SeeYaOnline.com's Dedicated Server customers, and supplement the terms above in section A that apply to all SeeYaOnline.com customers:

Customer Security Responsibilities

The customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting servers under customer control. If a customer's server is involved in an attack on another server or system, it will be shut down and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine the cause/source of the attack. In such event, the customer is responsible for the cost to rectify any damage done to the customer's server and any other requirement affected by the security breach.

IRC

SeeYaOnline.com allows Dedicated Server customers the use of IRC inside the SeeYaOnline.com network as long as the use of IRC on a SeeYaOnline.com server does not violate any of the other terms of the Terms of Use. As a policy, SeeYaOnline.com will not provide vanity IRC reverse DNS records. To enforce this policy SeeYaOnline.com does not turn the reverse address of IPs over to the customer. Authority over this information remains with SeeYaOnline.com.

Billing for Network Resources

The customer understands that the customer is responsible for paying for any network resources that are used to connect the customer's server to the Internet. The customer may request that the customer's server be disconnected from the Internet, but the customer will still be responsible for paying for any network resources used up to the point of suspension or cancellation.
