Alternatively, signing up for a new account with different account information such as email address, mailing address to utilize a discount will also be reviewed by our billing department. Promotional discounts are offered for new customers and are not valid for existing customers.

However, when there are competing interests at issue, VeeroTech Systems, LLC reserves the right to take certain preventive or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, VeeroTech Systems, LLC has developed an Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer’s respective service agreement, and is intended as a guide to the customer’s rights and obligations when using VeeroTech Systems, LLC’ services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet’s openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use it, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that VeeroTech Systems, LLC cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information they acquire.

Also, because the information created is carried over VeeroTech Systems, LLC’ network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of VeeroTech Systems, LLC, subscribers’ postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may affect VeeroTech Systems, LLC’ goodwill, business, reputation or operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate VeeroTech Systems, LLC policy and the Service Agreement when they, their customers, affiliates or subsidiaries engage in prohibited activities.

15. SPAM unsolicited email, bulk mailing & blacklistings

19. Monitoring & subscriber services

VeeroTech Systems, LLC is also aware that many of its subscribers are themselves providers of Internet services, and that information reaching VeeroTech Systems, LLC’ facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third party. VeeroTech Systems, LLC does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. VeeroTech Systems, LLC reserves the right to directly take action against a customer of its subscribers. Also, VeeroTech Systems, LLC may take action against the VeeroTech Systems, LLC’ subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, VeeroTech Systems, LLC anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with VeeroTech Systems, LLC in any corrective or preventive action that VeeroTech Systems, LLC deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of VeeroTech Systems, LLC policy.

VeeroTech Systems, LLC will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or receive by its subscribers, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. VeeroTech Systems, LLC may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, VeeroTech Systems, LLC may disclose information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation or governmental request. VeeroTech Systems, LLC assumes not obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, VeeroTech Systems, LLC may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect VeeroTech Systems, LLC and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, VeeroTech Systems, LLC will never sell information to other services or outside companies.

VeeroTech Systems, LLC expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A subscriber’s failure to comply with those laws will violate VeeroTech Systems, LLC policy. Finally, VeeroTech Systems, LLC wishes to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify VeeroTech Systems, LLC for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or VeeroTech Systems, LLC policy resulting in loss to VeeroTech Systems, LLC or the bringing of any claim against VeeroTech Systems, LLC by any third party. This means that, if VeeroTech Systems, LLC is sued because of a subscriber’s or customer of a subscriber’s activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against VeeroTech Systems, LLC, plus costs and attorney’s fees. We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including VeeroTech Systems, LLC and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber’s violation of this AUP should be sent to info@VeeroTech Systems, LLC.

20. Unmetered fair use bandwidth, disk space, databases, email, resellers & domains policy & storage restrictions

VeeroTech Systems, LLC does not set “hard” quota disk storage & bandwidth limits on shared web hosting accounts. While bandwidth is “unmetered” it does not mean “unlimited”. The fair use policy is set to protect from resource abuse. If your bandwidth usage is normal website, email & content serving traffic, we will not limit your usage. We understand there may be times when a website has higher than normal traffic which causes a bandwidth spike; this is not considered abuse.

If your website is used for uploading/downloading large files which consume large amounts of bandwidth continuously, we reserve the right to limit your bandwidth quota to a fair amount; this is considered abuse as your hosting account is not to be used as a “file hosting service”. This is not to be confused with hosting files, you may certainly utilize your storage resources included with your plan however.

Audio/Video streaming large amounts can also be considered resource intensive and we recommend against it.

In short, if your account does not affect other customer accounts, and you do not intentionally abuse this policy, you will have no problems and need not worry about bandwidth quotas.

Addon Domains:

While we do not force strict limits on the number of addon domains on every shared hosting account, we do reserve the right to deem a high number of addon domains to be too many. Generally, if the addon domains are affecting the performance of the account, we may recommend using a reseller account.

Resold cPanel accounts (resellers):

Select Reseller plans do not have a set limit on the number of cPanel accounts you can create. We do reserve the right to deem “too many” for accounts with a large number of resold accounts. In this case, we’d recommend either an additional reseller account on a different server (a discount would apply) or upgrading to a virtual server (VPS) or a dedicated server.

These limitations are based solely on a performance & stability basis to ensure our servers run at optimal performance & availability.

Email:
Accounts that contain large numbers of email accounts are subject to the fair use policy. Accounts found having large number of connections that impact availability to email services to other customers may require an upgrade onto their own server.

Storage Use Restrictions:

We do not permit the use of hosting accounts as long term file storage unless the files are directly related to your website. This includes ISO files, OS IMG files & cPanel generated backup files. cPanel generated backup files will be automatically removed from our servers after 24 hours due to the large amount of resources required to back up “backups”. We kindly request that after a cPanel backup is generated, that you immediately download the backup and then remove it from your hosting account. Failing to do so may prevent our R1Soft daily backups from fully completing.

You may not store any of the following items on a web hosting account – this applies to both limited and unlimited plans:

• archives, backups, file storage & file sharing
• copyrighted material
• ISO, IMG, large ZIP/TAR files
• Media files not directly used by your website

VeeroTech Systems, LLC reserves the right to notify & remove content found in violation of this agreement. VeeroTech Systems, LLC has discretion on what files/content may or may not be within this policy and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for the account found in violation of this agreement.
