The primary objective of ProNIC™ Solutions is to provide excellence in web hosting services and unsurpassed technical support to our customers. To be able to protect each one of our customers, and to preserve our pricing structure and quality of service, we need to make sure that certain rules are followed.

Use of ProNIC™ Solutions' shared hosting services constitutes the acceptance of these terms of service in their latest form. These terms of service only apply to shared hosting accounts.

Customer Information:
Customer shall keep accurate information on file concerning customer's name, email address, billing address and telephone number. Customer may update this information online by logging into the CMI (Customer Management Interface) at http://www.pronicsolutions.com/cmi/ Your shared hosting account may be suspended or terminated, and will be subject to late fees and charges, if receipt of your invoices or other communications from ProNIC™ Solutions is delayed or prevented due to a change in such information, which has not been kept updated in a timely manner.

Adult Related Web Sites & Pornographic Material:
ProNIC™ Solutions has a zero-tolerance policy on all pornographic material hosted on our servers. We do not seek to abridge users' constitutional rights, but we uphold all laws applicable to the content of sites hosted on our servers. The average "Adult Site" gets more hits than 50 standard Web sites combined. Some adult sites get around 5 to 10 GB of transfer per day. Our servers would be severely slowed with these types of resources being utilized. We would even be forced to raise our prices to pay for the additional bandwidth. We strive to keep our servers fast and inexpensive; therefore, adult sites that contain graphic content are not allowed.

Warez Sites:
Warez Sites are sites that are typically used by "hackers" to trade (upload/download) illegally pirated copies of software programs with one another. ProNIC™ Solutions has a zero-tolerance policy on all Warez Sites. Sites that become a trading post for "warez" programs will be reported to any and all regulatory, administrative, and/or governmental authorities for prosecution. In addition to your account being deleted from our servers, you may face legal action that can be taken against you by the programmers/software companies of the copyrighted software.

Other Unacceptable Content:
Illegal Material or material that is against public policy, material that may be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare. (Such as, but not limited to: Anarchists Cookbook, bomb making, weapon information, etc., or anything else that may be considered detrimental or illegal.) ProNIC™ Solutions will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision, and reserves the right to terminate an account at any time for any reason without refund.

Shell Accounts:
Shell accounts are available for the purpose of editing and setting up your web site. Shell accounts should not be used as a development platform for issues unrelated to your web site. Users must not leave their home directories at any time and must not attempt to gain the privileges of another user. In the event that such user causes any server crashes/damages, and/or interferes with any of the following files their shell access privileges will be revoked and denied for any future use: .bash_history, .bash_logout, .bash_profile, .bashrc. Before shell access can be enabled on your account, you will need to print a form and fax it to us along with a copy of your drivers license, passport or other legal document. For more information, please visit our help & support section at http://support.pronicsolutions.com/

IRC:
We DO NOT allow any type of IRC related material to be operated on our servers. This also includes IRC bots or any application that utilizes raw sockets and/or ICMP packets to short-circuit the TCP/IP stack.

Spamming:
Sending the same, or substantially similar, unsolicited email message, whether commercial or not, to more than one recipient (known as "spamming") is strongly disfavored among Internet users and Internet service providers. ProNIC™ Solutions is committed to a zero-tolerance anti-spamming policy. You are not allowed to use your ProNIC™ Solutions hosting account or email accounts to send unsolicited email. Our spamming rules also apply to mailing lists. Mailing lists are only to be focused at an audience that has voluntarily signed up for your email information or that has made their email address available for distribution of information from you. If you have any complaints or comments regarding spam on our network, please direct them via email to .

Newsgroup Spamming:
Defined as excessive cross-posting, or posting the same article to several newsgroups. This is prohibited. Accepted standards allow no more than 15 newsgroups, or cross-postings, for a single article or similar articles.

Accounts that violate our spamming policies WILL BE TERMINATED without a refund.

Network Abuse:
Shared hosting accounts, as the name implies operate on shared network resources. This means that there are several hosting accounts per server. Excessive use or "abuse" of these network resources by one customer have a negative impact on all other customers. In all fairness, you are not allowed to deliberately consume network resources in an excessive manner, this includes but is not limited to: CPU time, memory, and disk space. You are also not allowed to use resource-intensive programs that can negatively impact other customers or the performance of our systems. High network traffic and throughput is not a problem for ProNIC™ Solutions, but extreme network traffic or uploading and downloading can sometimes create problems. ProNIC™ Solutions' servers are configured to shut off any account when its bandwidth allowance is exceeded. You are allowed to exceed your maximum bandwidth allowance without being shut off as long as you notify ProNIC™ Solutions in advance, however, you will be billed $4.00 for each additional GB of throughput on your next billing cycle.

Illegal/Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks:
The illegal or unauthorized accessing (often known as "hacking" or "cracking") of computers or networks carries potential civil and criminal penalties under both federal laws and the laws of most states. ProNIC™ Solutions reserves the right to report illegal activities to any and all regulatory, administrative, and/or governmental authorities for prosecution.
