Seanic.Net Terms of Service
Seanic.Net provides web hosting to clients worldwide,
and we have a responsibility to protect each client
and to provide the best services available. All clients
of Seanic.Net are subject to the following terms of
service:
Billing
At this time we only bill annually (one year). We accept Visa, Master Card and
American Express. We also accept checks and money orders.
Please note that we will setup your account and email
your login information immediately upon receipt of payment.
For future billing,
Seanic.Net will send you a bill via email notifying
you of the amount due. If you paid originally by check,
we will provide you with the address where payment needs
to be sent. Should you desire to update your credit
card information, please fill out this form
and we would be glad to update our records.
Note:
Clients are encouraged to pay by credit card as it is
the easiest way to handle payment at this time. However,
if you would like to pay some other way, please let
us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Delinquent
Accounts: Your email billing will notify
you of the due date for your payment. If payment is
not received by that due date, we will suspend your
account. We will then notify you of this via email.
If we still do not hear from you within two weeks we
will automatically delete your account from our servers.
If you know that
you are going on vacation (or will be away for an extended
period of time) and a billing cycle is approaching you
need to notify us
in order to make other payment arrangements or pay ahead
of time. We will work with you, but we must be notified
or else you risk losing your account. With as many accounts
as we have, we would rather spend time helping clients
with hosting issues or adding new features to our services
than chasing payments. So, please, make every effort
to submit payments in a timely manner.
Bounced
Checks: Should your check payment bounce,
you will be charged a fee of $25 in addition to your
already existing balance.
Account
Cancellations:
When you need to cancel an account, please email billing@Seanic.net
and our billing representative will be in touch with
you.
Seanic.Net
will send you an email reminder one month prior to your
hosting account renewal date. Should you decide to stay
with Seanic.Netor if you would like to cancel,
please reply to our email and let us know. Should
you decide to cancel your hosting account after we have
debited your credit card for the next billing cycle
there will be a penalty fee of one month's hosting service
deducted from your refund. There are no exceptions.
Content Restrictions:
All services provided by Seanic.Net may be used for
lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation
of any information, data or material in violation of
any United States Federal, State or City law is prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material,
material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material
protected by trade secret and other statute. The subscriber
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seanic.Net and
its employees from any claims resulting from the use
of the service which damages the subscriber or any other
party.
Pornography is prohibited
on all Seanic.Net servers. This includes
sites that include sexually explicit or hardcore images
and/or advertising. We allow sites of an adult nature,
but we do not allow pornographic sites. If you think
your site may violate our Terms Of Service, please ask
us before signing up for an account so that we may determine
if we can host your site. Seanic.Net reserves the right
to determine what is and what isn't acceptable for our
servers.
Any
illegal MP3 archives, downloads and streaming is strictly
prohibited in any shape or form. Seanic.Net
will not allow users to store, offer downloads or streaming
of illegal mp3s or those audio files violating copyright
law. This would also appy to video files. Any site found
to be doing so will be removed immediately from our
servers without notice and refund, even if it is within
the initial 30-day trial period. We do allow
audio or video files that are covered by copyright law
to be stored, downloaded or streamed from our servers.
Promulgation
of viruses. Using your account to store
or distribute viruses is strictly prohibited. Any violation
or activity, whether or not the intrusion results in
the corruption or loss of data, will be investigated
and proper action will be taken. The presence of any
of these programs, whether or not run, will result in
action against the user including suspension or termination
without refund.
Also prohibited are sites
that promote any illegal activity or present content
that may be damaging to Seanic.Net servers or any other
server on the internet. Links to such
materials are also prohibited.
Examples of unacceptable content
or links:
- Pirated software
- Hacker programs or archives
- Warez sites
- HYIP sites
Seanic.Net will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of this provision. Sites found to contain
(or contain links to) pirated software, hacking or hacker
programs will be shut down immediately and will not
be allowed back on the server. Any information or files
on these servers will be deleted shortly thereafter
and you will never regain access to it.
Transfer (Bandwidth):
Each account is allowed a certain amount of bandwidth
(please see our hosting plans
page under Traffic to see the amount allowed for your
plan). Should a client exceed it's limit, there is an
excess charge of $10/GB over that amount. It should
be noted that we have not yet had an instance where
a client has been billed for extra transfers. Most of
our clients don't even come close to their limit per
month. Please let us know
if you have any questions about this and we would be
glad to assist you.
Commercial Advertising
- Email:
Seanic.Net is a division of a I Venture Circulation.
Since spamming is illegal in many states and countries
we cannot afford to let spam mail pass through our servers
under any circumstances. If
you plan on using your account for unsolicited, bulk
emailing please stop right here and do not sign
up for an account with us.
Should we discover that you are sending spam through
our servers or sending spam that references pages on
our servers, your account will be immediately deleted
without notice and no refund of any kind will be made.
Seanic.Net will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of this provision.
Background Running Programs:
Clients are not allowed to operate any background processes
such as IRC bots, eggdrop, BitchX, post scanners without
prior approval from Seanic.Net. We may allow other non-abusive
programs to run continually in the background but these
are considered on a case-by-case 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.
Server Abuse:
Any violation will result in immediate deletion of a
site from our servers without notice and refund of any
fees paid in advance.
Refusal of Service:
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or suspend service
at our sole discretion if client violates any part of
this Terms of Service.
Limitation of Liability:
Seanic.Net shall not be responsible for any claimed
damages, including incidental and consequential damages,
which may arise from Seanic.Net servers going off-line
or being unavailable for any reason whatsoever. Furthermore,
Seanic.Net shall not be responsible for any claimed
damages, including incidental or consequential damages,
resulting from the corruption or deletion of any web
site from one of Seanic.Net servers. All damages shall
be limited to the immediate termination of service and
the refund of the remaining unused amount paid in advance,
if any.
Violations of these Terms of Service
should be reported to abuse@Seanic.net.
All complaints will be investigated promptly.
