Unauthorized use of other people's account or computers

Dotpromotion.NET will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet Account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempt includes "Internet Scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords) and security hole scanning. Any unauthorized use of account by a Dotpromotion.NET customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to Dotpromotion.NET, will result in action against the attacker.

Dotpromotion.NET will be sole mediator as to what is constituted a violation of this provision.

Commercial advertisements with e-mail unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail (commonly known as SPAM or UCE) and will result in immediate account suspension or cancellation.

Commercial advertisements are un-welcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups is particularly unethical and will be treated as such breach of this ethical policy.

Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than six or seven recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. E-mail is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. Excepted are opt-in mailing lists where the recipients have explicitly requested to receive advertisements and have an opt-out option. Proof must be made that recipient has opted-in to receive advertisements and / or newsletters in case of complaint.

Misrepresentation of Transmission Information

Forging, misrepresenting, omitting, or deleting message headers, return mailing information and/or Internet protocol addresses to conceal or misidentify the origin of a message is prohibited.

Background Running Programs

We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are called cron jobs and are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed, if applicable. In most cases Dotpromotion.NET prefers not to impose any extra charges on the customers.

Chat Rooms

We do allow clients to install their own chat rooms however chat rooms are subject to utilization policy, hence approval with the Dotpromotion.NET support team prior to utilizing the chat software is strongly recommended.. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule.

They are perfectly fine to be installed. Parachat software chat rooms are available from companies such as www.jpilot.com (remote java chat) or www.everyone.net (Plug-In-Community) and do not put any system hogs on our servers.

Dotpromotion would and 'DO NOT WELCOME ANY', irc servers or irc bots nor any sort of e.g. web based IRC clients in any form to be operated in any of our servers. As this may results an account suspension and cancellation. Payment Policies.

All account are set up on annual pre-pay basis. The work with account setup and possible domain registration itself is charged $25 setup fee and $15 domain registration (if new domain registration was ordered). One free domain registration are available in all our hosting plan. Such domain will be registered with Dotpromotion.NET proprietary bulk registration system and may or may not show proprieratery contact information. In any case and in the event customers wish to move their domain name to another provider, Dotpromotion.NET will not play a hindering role. Customer is welcome to request move of domain name registered through Dotpromotion.NET to another provider anytime and Dotpromotion.NET will immediately work on request and initiate process to remove the domain name from Dotpromotion.NET hosting system. Customer can then host this domain name with any other provider, as per customer's preference. The hosting package include ANY and ALL fees for the domain name, they also include the Netsol Fee for the one domain registration since it will be paid full in full by Dotpromotion.NET.

All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. Dotpromotion.NET reserves the right to change prices at any time for *new* customers only. Existing customers have, as soon as an order is placed, a price-lock on their account and are guaranteed to ALWAYS receive the same or lower price than they originally signed-up for. Hence customers will never face or incurs higher or increased charges.

Unless other terms have been agreed upon, any account not brought current within a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time frame in any way is subject to 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 Dotpromotion.NET in online writing for a request for termination of services. All payment is in U.S. currency. Cancellation of Account

Dotpromotion.NET reserves the right to cancel service at any time due to policy violations. If Dotpromotion.NET institutes it's right of cancellation, no pro-rated fees will be refunded or credited as policies have been violated. Each customer is expected to use his/her account for the purpose of maintaining a web site only, with responsibility and respect toward other Internet users. Common sense is the best guide as to what is right and wrong, and it's the same guide we'll use when analyzing an event of bad behavior. Dotpromotion.NET has the right to deny business to a customer, if this customer is being rude to a member of our staff, attempting to re-open an account after the user's account has been previously cancelled due to a policy violation, constantly creating problems on a server, constantly having billing problems (credit card denied way too often, credit card fraudulent issue, etc), demanding or expecting in a rude fashion more than what our service provides or what we can do ("I want you to install this X software for me. Do it now or else, return my MONEY", I want more email account for FREE. I'm the customer and you have to satisfy me. So give me the extra email accounts", etc).

Always be polite. If customer is not polite Dotpromotion.NET reserves the right to no longer provide customer with web hosting services. If Dotpromotion.NET decides to stop providing customer service due to any of these reasons, the account will be terminated immediately. Any violation of policies, which results in extra costs, will be billed to the customer (i.e. server destruction, server damage, devastative behaviour, hacking, phreaking, transfer, phroning, spamming, etc).

Customers can cancel service any time by sending email to billing@dotpromotion.net. We request to hear a reason for cancellation. Reason for cancellation is mandatory in order to receive refund. Since Dotpromotion.NET operates money-back guarantee, any give reason many not be classified as sufficient reason for a refund request. Dotpromotion.NET will be sole arbiter as to what is constituted a sufficient reason for a refund. Insufficient reason are for example, but not limited to:

(1) Client is not technically fluent enough to maintain web-hosting account. Dotpromotion.NET is not responsible to technically educate its customers.

(2) Client decides web-hosting services was ordered too early or out of a mood - may it be good or bad - Dotpromotion.NET is not responsible for customers' moods and hence a refund is not applicable in this case.

A valid reason for refund would be - but need not necessarily be (clarification: even if it is a proven technical reason, it does not necessarily provide a valid reason for refund) - a proven technical reason of a technical problems and / or issue that Dotpromotion.NET was either not willing to solve or cannot solved at this time due to technical, logistical or administrative reason. If request for refund comes in, client "MUST" give Dotpromotion.NET 48 hour’s grace period to fix technical issue that is basis for refund request. If then after the time technical is not solved, a 30-day money back refund is granted under following criteria: If client is within his 30-day money back guarantee period, Dotpromotion.NET will credit 100% of the pre-paid money minus following handling,

Initial support and service charges:
