Linking

You may not use the Services to publish directories, links or other information pointing to sites that contain content prohibited by this AUP.

Excessive Use of System Resources

Our system has been setup to provide powerful and responsive hosting services. Nevertheless there are instances were hosting customers do not understand the limits of even the most powerful system and try to run extremely resource hungry Web services that require a dedicated server farm with load balancing and mirroring just for that specific site and application. This type of activity will probably not cause our systems to fail but it may use bandwidth well beyond the capacity of the particular hosting account or interfer with other users of the system. For example, you may not distribute excessive amounts of software to the public, provide a public file download Services or employ programs that consume excessive CPU capacity. For the latter you will need a dedicated server. Technomax may suspend or terminate your Services for violation of this provision in addition to requiring you to pay Overage Fees as described in the Terms of Service. Please call us first if you need any advise as to what is needed if you are planning a Web service that will attract many thousands of visitors daily that will use many resources. Generally 95% of Websites will have no problem whatsoever with our hosting infrastructure. Sites that receive more than 20,000 visitors a day or run CPU intensive database or similar applications should call us to get advice.

Bulk or Commercial E-Mail

You must obtain Technomax's advanced approval for any bulk or commercial e-mail, which will not be given unless you are able to demonstrate, at a minimum, that your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail via some affirmative means, such as an opt-in procedure, your procedures for soliciting consent include reasonable means to ensure that the person giving consent is the owner of the e-mail address for which the consent is given, you retain evidence of the recipient's consent in a form that may be promptly produced on request, and you honor the recipient's and Technomax's requests to produce consent evidence within 72 hours of receipt of the request.

You may not obscure the source of your e-mail in any manner. Your e-mail must include the recipient's e-mail address in the body of the message or in the "TO" line of the e-mail.

These policies apply to messages sent using the Services, or to messages sent from any network by you or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site hosted via the Services. In addition, you may not use a third party e-mail service that does not practice similar procedures for all its customers.

Technomax may test and otherwise monitor your compliance with its requirements, including requesting opt-in information from a random sample of your list at any time.

Newsgroup, Chat Forums, Other Networks

You must comply with the rules and conventions for postings to any bulletin board, chat group or other forum in which you participate, such as IRC and USENET groups including their rules for content and commercial postings. These groups usually prohibit the posting of off-topic commercial messages, or mass postings to multiple forums.

You must comply with the rules of any other network you access or participate in using the Services.

Domain Names

Technomax is not responsible for notifying you of any impending domain name expiration dates. Generally you must submit a renewal request at least 45 days prior to the expiration of the domain. You must keep your WHOIS information accurate and up-to-date. The e-mail address for the Administrative Contact in the WHOIS database must be the same as your billing e-mail address in Technomax's records, and Technomax may, but is not required to, change the e-mail address to comply with this requirement if necessary. Domain names may not be transferred within the first sixty (60) days of initial registration.

The initial term of each of your Services shall begin on the date (the "Services Commencement Date") that Technomax generates an e-mail welcome message announcing the activation of the Service you ordered and shall continue for the number of months stated in the Order Form (the "Initial Term") for each such Service. Upon expiration of the Initial Term, this Terms of Service shall automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the same length as the Initial Term (each a "Renewal Term") unless you or Technomax provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term may be referred to collectively herein as the "Term."

4. Fees
