Terms, Conditions
and Acceptable Use Policy
Webdriver provides Internet World
Wide Web page Hosting, Designing, Marketing, and Development.
Webdriver has certain legal and ethical responsibilities consisting
with the use of its server and equipment involved in these services.
Webdriver general policy is to
act as a provider of internet presence. Webdriver has specific
ethical concerns regarding the use of its computers detailed
below. Webdriver reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's
access to any or all services provided by Webdriver when we decide
that the account has been inappropriately used.
Specific Acceptable Use Policies
Server abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause
harm to a server, or customer, of Webdriver or others is strictly
prohibited.
Unauthorized use of other
people's accounts or computers
Webdriver will strongly react 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 Webdriver customer, whether or not the attacked
account or computer belongs to Webdriver, 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 Unlimited Traffic
and/or Unlimited Storage
Webdriver's customers are privileged
to be offered unlimited traffic and/or unlimited storage for
their web sites. The intention of Webdriver is to provide a large
space to serve web documents, not an offsite storage area for
electronic files. All (90%) of your web pages (html) must be
'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on Webdriver's
server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html
documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning,
suspension or cancellation at the discretion of Webdriver management.
Any customer who violates Webdriver's Policies in abusing either
space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy
the problem. If the problem is not resolved within the alloted
2 day period, the client will be billed for the overages.
To maintain the integrity of
our service the following limitations apply:
- Sites with Banners, graphics
or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domains.
- Sites with picture galleries
(This is any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics)
- Sites offering download files
or archives. (This is any site where 50% or more of there monthly
traffic is from file downloads)
- Sites using more than 30% of
system resources
For those that do not qualify
for the unlimited service, traffic will go unmonitored until
you reach 8GB per month. Thereafter, normal data transfer cost
of $20.00/1GB/month will be billed to your account.
Webdriver will be the sole arbiter
as to what constitutes a violation of this provision
Commercial advertisements
with e-mail
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. Inappropriate posting 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 or six 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.
Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install
their own chat rooms, without approving it with the Webdriver
Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and
we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we do provide
a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will
more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance
of the machine for others. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply
to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.
Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually
in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis
and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources
used and operational maintenance needed.
IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or
IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
Payment Policies
All accounts are set up on a pre-pay
basis. Setup fees are charged for all new accounts and major
account changes and are non-refundable. All pricing is
guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. Webdriver 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
days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way
is subject to suspension. The customer is responsible for all
money owed on the account from the time it was established to
the time that the customer notifies Webdriver in writing for
a request for termination of services. All payment is in U.S.
currency.
Cancellation
Webdriver reserves the right to
cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation
will be pro-rated and paid by Webdriver if Webdriver institutes
it's right of cancellation. Any violation of policies which results
in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer,
space etc.)
Lawful Purpose
Webdriver reserves the right to
refuse service to anyone. Customers may only use Webdriver server
for lawful purpose. Transmission of any material in violation
of any Federal, State or Local regulation is prohibited. This
