Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of InteractiveHomePage.com is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers is strictly prohibited. InteractiveHomePage.com will react appropriately to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "Internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning, etc. . . .
Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a InteractiveHomePage.com customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to InteractiveHomePage.com, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.
Abuse of Traffic
The intention of InteractiveHomePage.com is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an offsite storage area for electronic files. At least 90% of your web pages must be linked with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on InteractiveHomePage.com's server. Websites found to contain no HTML documents or a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension, or cancellation at the discretion of InteractiveHomePage.com management. Any customer who violates InteractiveHomePage.com's policies in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given two (2) days to remedy the problem. If the problem is not resolved within the allotted two-day (2-day) period, the client will be billed for the overages, or the account will be deactivated at InteractiveHomePage.com's discretion. Data transfer costs of $5.00/1GB/month will be billed to your account for any usage over your allowed limit.
Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (Spam)
Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail and will likely result in account suspension or cancellation. Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists and inappropriate posting to these may result in account suspension or cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such. Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. E-mail is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. No refunds will be given if your account is terminated for Spam. Server clean up fees may be inccurred if spamming causes excessive time and labor to resolve related problems.
InteractiveHomePage.com reserves the right to deactivate, without notice, the client's web hosting account(s) upon any indication of such activity. Client hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless InteractiveHomePage.com from any claim resulting from the client's, or any other party's, use of electronic mail service(s) on the client's web hosting account(s).
InteractiveHomePage.com reserves the right to charge a $50.00 reactivation fee, if client's violation of InteractiveHomePage.com's anti-spamming policy leads to an account deactivation or suspension.
InteractiveHomePage.com will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
Chat Rooms
We offer a Java-based chat room through the client Applications Vault found in the client control panel which is fine for clients to install.
We do not allow clients to install their own third party chat rooms without prior approval from InteractiveHomePage.com management. Most chat rooms tend to be large system resource consumers. Because of this, we cannot allow third party chat room software as an account option.
Abuse of SMTP Mail Server
We do not allow clients to send more than 1,000 pieces of e-mail per day. If you do send more than 1,000 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for network abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 1,000 per day, your account can be moved to a special server that is specifically configured to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $50.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please contact TOS@InteractiveHomePage.com to have your domain moved.
Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a case-by-case basis. An extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. For more information, please contact TOS@InteractiveHomePage.com with your specific needs.
IRC
We currently do not allow IRC (Internet Relay Chat) or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
Payment Policies
All accounts are set up on a pre-paid basis. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. InteractiveHomePage.com reserves the right to change prices at any time, unless other terms have been agreed upon.
Any account not brought current within a week (7 calendar days) of e-mail notice is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the time it was established to the time the customer notifies InteractiveHomePage.com in writing for a request for termination of services. Purchase of domain names are non-refundable. All payments are in U.S. dollars.
Cancellations and Money-Back Guarantee
InteractiveHomePage.com reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and paid by InteractiveHomePage.com if InteractiveHomePage.com institutes its right of cancellation. Any violation of policies that results in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer, space, etc. . . .)
All of InteractiveHomePage.com's web hosting plans are backed by a 30-day, money-back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services or support within the first 30 days of your contract, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount.
This policy does not apply to any additional services such as overages, additional disk space, additional POP accounts, etc. Due to security concerns, all account cancellations must be done in writing by sending an e-mail to TOS@InteractiveHomePage.com.
Refunds will be processed only to the credit card used to purchase services. All refunds will be processed within 15 days of receipt of written cancellation notice.
