Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil
or criminal legal action, according to the seriousness of the attack.

ActiveStates Web sites are to be used by the primary owner only. Customers are
not permitted to sub host including reselling, storing, or giving away web
hosting services off of their web site to other parties. Sub hosting is defined
as allowing a separate, third party to host content on the owner's web site.
Exceptions include ad banners, classified ads, personal ads and of course accounts we sell for this purpose.
ActiveStates expressly forbids any server use for distribution, storing, processing, linking
to or otherwise handling in any way the following: ActiveStates enforces a
strict anti-spam policy, clients found to be spamming can have their account
cancelled without question. Spam is defined as any unsolicited emailing. This
includes discs sold on the web as mailing lists which are nothing more than
harvested names.

works, commercial audio, video, or music files, and any material in violation of
any Federal, State or Local regulation.
Adult Material - Includes all pornography,
erotic images, or otherwise lewd or obscene content. The designation of "adult
material" is left entirely to the discretion of ActiveStates.

from your web site. ActiveStates disk space is not to be used for storage or

ActiveStates servers is not permitted.
Payment Policy:
All accounts are set up on a prepaid basis. Setup fees are charged for all new
accounts and major accounts changes and are non-refundable. All pricing is
guaranteed for the term of prepayment. ActiveStates reserves the right to
change prices at any time. Any cancellations or modifications in services
included in a Special invalidate the Special price. Payment is due each
anniversary month or period following the date the account was established. Any
account not brought current within a week of email notice or exceeding this time
frame in any way is subject to suspension. Service fees will accrue during any
period of 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
ActiveStates in writing of a request for termination of services. Checks
returned unpaid (NSF) will be assessed a $50 charge. All payments are in U.S.
currency.
If there are any billing discrepancies, it is the responsibility of the client
to bring them to the attention of ActiveStates. Due to the fact we are an
internet based company, and have clients world-wide, we have chosen email
invoicing via QuickBooks as our billing solution. By doing so, we are able to
maintain a lower cost across the board by eliminating the time involved as well
as the paper, printing material, postage and postage material. Any invoice that
needs to be printed can be done so through the website, or through the email.
Both are completely legal documents. In the event an email invoice is not
acceptable for the client, ActiveStates, Inc reserves the right to impose an
additional charge for recovery of these costs. Such fee shall not be less than
10% of any single website for a single month; nor shall it exceed 13% of any
single website for a single month. These additional fees will be imposed for the
duration of the postal mailed invoices.
Cancellation:
ActiveStates reserves the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in
advance of cancellation will be prorated and paid by ActiveStates if
ActiveStates institutes its right of cancellation. If cancellation is caused by
customers’ violation of these policies, then no refund is due. Customers can
cancel service any time upon 30 day advanced notification via email or postal
mail. The customer is responsible for all money owed on the account from the
time it was established to the time that the customer receives confirmation by
email that their cancellation request by letter, fax or via online form, has
been received and processed. If an account is in arrearage, ActiveStates
reserves the right to claim any and all files as well as any and all domain
names, as their own property, until the time such arrearage is paid in full.
Once any arrearage is paid in full, ActiveStates will release said property.
Indemnification:
We can help protect you against new virus attacks, before your anti-virus
software can detect them! It also includes pre-scanning, allowing you to scan
much more E-mail (by eliminating the need to scan safe HTML E-mails that would
normally need to be scanned, yet still scanning potentially dangerous HTML
E-mails). The systems we have in place are recommended for over 1,000 users
and/or over 20,000 E-mails/day We offer true Enterprise mail service any mail
server requiring the highest level of virus protection. Your mail is opened by
the software inspected for potentially dangerous strings are trapped even before
the mail has a chance to enter your system. Also from a business standpoint this
should be a standard. All inbound and outbound mail is scanned to avoid someone
in your organization from unwilling sending such an email. We actually scan each
mail with Three different Virus Software applications which are updated
automatically. If you are serious about security and who isn't you must know
that the way the hackers come in is on the trail of something legitimate. Mail
is the one place that is the hardest to secure. Most Trojans are actually
inserted using emails. After all what good is a firewall that must allow email
to pass through it?

enterprises may suffer. ActiveStates makes no warranties of any kind, expressed
or implied for services we provide. ActiveStates disclaims any warranty or
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The includes loss of data
