If an account with a seven (7) day money-back guarantee is purchased and canceled within seven
(7) days of sign up, the Customer will, upon request, receive a full refund of all hosting fees.
Requests for these refunds should be made through our Billing Team. Refunds made for a seven (7)
day money-back guarantee will not include dedicated servers, domain registration fees, setup fees,
or any fees for additional services that are purchased in the first seven (7) days.
Money back guarantee only applicable to those products and services that specified with this offer.
Any other products or services with no specification in money back guarantee are not entitling to
any money back or refund. Under the money back guarantee, only first-time accounts are eligible for
a refund. For example, if you've had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, you will
not be eligible for a refund. This is to protect our refund guarantee from being abused. 859Compute
reserves the right to determine the definition of first-time account. Violations of the Terms of
Service will waive the refund policy.
CPU Usage
User agrees that User shall not use excessive amounts of CPU processing on any of 859Compute's servers.
Any violation of this policy may result in corrective action by 859Compute,
including assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services,
or termination of this Agreement, which actions may be taken in 859Compute's sole
and absolute discretion. If 859Compute takes any corrective action under this section, User shall
not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to such action.
Bandwidth and Disk Usage
859Compute provides Users with bandwidth, disk space and other resources, such as e-mail and/or
file-transfer-protocol ("FTP") accounts, the amount of which is defined in 859Compute's web pages
describing the package of Services purchased at the time of purchase. In some cases, 859Compute
may not establish a specific amount of bandwidth, disk space and other resources, and refer to
that as "Unlimited". In all cases, the Services are intended for normal use only, and any activity
that results in excessive usage that is inconsistent with normal usage patterns is strictly
prohibited. 859Compute reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of Users
whose use of disk space, bandwidth or other resources results in or presents the risk of degradation
of service to other customers, regardless of the amount of disk space, bandwidth or other resources
included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage shall not exceed the amounts set by 859Compute
for the Services purchased (the "Agreed Usage") and is additionally subject to normal usage
guidelines established by 859Compute as in effect from time to time. These allotments are optimized
and dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active electronic mail services related solely
to User's web hosting account(s) with 859Compute. User will be billed for amounts exceeding bandwidth
and disk space allotments generally at .0017 per mb.
Hosting space is intended for normal use only, and is limited to Web files, active e-mail and content
of the hosted Web sites, not for storage (whether of media, e-mails, or other data). Hosting space
further may not be used as offsite storage of electronic files, electronic mail or FTP hosts. You are
responsible for removing any files, e-mails or other data which do not meet these requirements, and
for adhering to any usage requirements or limits allocated to your account(s). Failure to do so may
result in removal and deletion of such materials (including without limitation files and e-mails),
and/or in discontinuation of your services or account, which actions we may take in our sole discretion.
859Compute will monitor User's use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources. 859Compute, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right to take any corrective action if User's utilization of bandwidth, disk
usage or other resources exceeds the Agreed Usage, normal usage, or is used for other improper storage or
usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or
discontinuance of any and all Services, removal or deletion of User's Web site, User Content, User's
electronic mail and e-mail services and/or other materials and services or termination the User's account
and of this Agreement, which actions may be taken in 859Compute's sole and absolute discretion.
If 859Compute takes any such corrective action under this section, User shall not be entitled to a
refund or credit of any fees paid prior to such action. User will comply with all applicable laws,
rules and regulations regarding User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail services,
including use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources and will use such services and resources
only for lawful purposes. User may not utilize: the Services to copy material from third parties
(including text, graphics, music, videos or other copyrightable material) without proper authorization;
the Services to misappropriate or infringe the patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual
property rights of any third party; the Services to traffic in illegal drugs, gambling, obscene materials
or any other products or services that are prohibited under applicable law; the Services to export encryption
software to points outside the United States in violation of applicable export control laws; the Services
to forge or misrepresent message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.
If 859Compute learns or discovers that User is violating any law related to User's Web site, User Content
and/or User's electronic mail services, use of bandwidth, disk usage or other resources or Agreed Usage,
859Compute may be obligated to or may in its discretion inform the necessary law enforcement and/or any related
agency(ies) of such conduct and may provide such agency(ies) with information related to User, User's Web site,
User Content and/or User's electronic mail.
User is responsible for complying with any usage requirements or limits for bandwidth, disk space or other resources,
and monitoring such usage to ensure the Web site does not violate such requirements or exceed any such limits
allocated for the account(s) and otherwise complies with this Agreement. 859Compute will use commercially reasonable
efforts to e-mail Users who are at or near their utilization limits, but 859Compute does not take responsibility
if e-mail notification(s) is not received by the User. 859Compute reserves the right to discontinue service
through the beginning of the next month for your account in the event that it exceeds the any such allotment.
Back Up & Data Loss
Customer agrees to maintain a current copy of all content hosted by 859Compute notwithstanding any agreement
by 859Compute to provide backup services.
Reseller Client Responsibility
Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. 859Compute does not provide support to our Reseller's
Clients. If a reseller's client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until
the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller
on their clients' behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or
transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients'. 859Compute will hold any reseller
responsible for any of their clients’ actions that violate the law or the terms of service.
Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semi Dedicated Servers
Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people. If you wish to resell hosting you must use a
reseller account. Semi dedicated servers are not backed up. You must maintain your own backups.
Dedicated Servers
859Compute reserves the right to reset the password on a dedicated server if the password on file is not
current so that we may do security audits as required by our datacenter. It is the responsibility of the
client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for their dedicated
server on file to prevent downtime from forced password resets. 859Compute reserves the right to audit servers
as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter. Dedicated servers are NOT
backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this.
You may purchase an additional hard drive and maintain backups to it as the simplest solution. Please contact
Sales@859Compute.com if you wish to obtain a secondary hard drive. It is your responsibility to maintain backups.
Uptime Guarantee
859Compute strives to maintain a 99% network and server uptime service level. This uptime percentage is a monthly
figure, and is calculated solely by 859Compute monitoring systems or 859Compute authorized/contracted outside
monitoring services. If 859Compute fails to meet its 99% uptime guarantee, and it is not due to one of the
exceptions below, credits will be made available to each client, upon request, on a case by case basis. A breakdown
of how credits are issued are as follows: 95%-98% uptime results in a 15% credit of the monthly fee. 90%-94%
uptime results in a 25% credit of the monthly fee. 89% uptime or below results in a 100% credit of the monthly fee.
Exceptions: Customer shall not receive any credits under this SLA in connection with any failure or deficiency
of the 859Compute network caused by or associated with:
A) Scheduled maintenance for hardware/software upgrades
B) Hardware failure (faulty hardware is rare, but cannot be predicted nor avoided). 859Compute utilizes
only name brand hardware of the highest quality and performance.
C) DNS issues not within the direct control of 859Compute
Right To Refusal Without Cause
859Compute may refuse to accept any customer or any website for participation in the 859Compute network as
determined by 859Compute at its sole discretion.
Indemnification
Customer agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save and hold 859Compute harmless from any and all demands,
liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including reasonable attorney's fees asserted against 859Compute, its
agents, its customers, officers and employees, that may arise or result from any service provided or performed
or agreed to be performed or any product sold by customer, its agents, employees or assigns. Customer agrees
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless 859Compute against liabilities arising out of; (1) any injury to person
or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed in connection with 859Compute; (2) any material
supplied by customer infringing or allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party; (3) copyright
infringement and (4) any defective products sold to customers from 859Compute's server.

decisions rendered by that arbitrator will be binding and final. You are also responsible for any and all
costs related to such arbitration.
