Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company's liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

New Domain Accounts: All new webhosting accounts involving new domains will be set up and entered into our DNS servers within 3 to 5 business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this process may sometimes require up to 7 business days.

Transfer of Domains: New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from another provider to Corporate Hosting will require a minimum of seven (7) days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer may take. If the transfer of the domain is done by Corporate Hosting on behalf of the account holder a handling fee may be incurred.

Support Boundaries: Corporate Hosting, provides technical support to our subscribers. We limit our technical support to our area of expertise. The following is our guidelines when providing support: We provides support related to your server or virtual site physical functioning. We do not offer tech support for application specific issues such as cgi programming, html or any other such issue. We do not provide technical support for YOUR customers.

SPAM and Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE): We take a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that you may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. You may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP (TCP port 25) connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam we reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk email being sent from servers.

Violation of our SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, we will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, we may restrict your access to the network to prevent further violations. If you are found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, we may, at our sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate your account. Further, we reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. We will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.

First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $250 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $500 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $175 per hour that we must spend to investigate the matter.

Anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.

IP Address Ownership: If we assign you with an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to Corporate Hosting, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by us in our sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. Corporate Hosting shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer, and we reserve the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in our sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that you are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.

Both incoming and outgoing traffic are counted. In the event that you exceed the included allocation, we may, at our discretion, collect a deposit, in the amount of $5.00 per GB, against your account. Data transfer in excess of each server's monthly allowance is automatically billed on or around the 5th of each month, for the previous calendar month. Unused bandwidth allocations cannot be carried over to future months, or applied to other servers.
