Downloading We do not allow clients to use their account to distribute files via downloading, without approving it with BMK Hosting. Most downloading sites tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. These files usually come in mass in .zip files, mp3 files, and .tar files.
Abuse of Bandwidth BMK Hosting's customers are privileged with a generous amount of bandwidth per month per account. The intention of BMK Hosting is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an offsite storage area for electronic files. All (90%) of your web pages (html) must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on our server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of BMK Hosting. Any customer who violates BMK Hosting's Policies in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the problem. Failure to fix the problem when being asked will result in account suspension or cancellation at the discretion of BMK Hosting.
To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply:
Sites with Banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domains. Sites with picture galleries (This is any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics) Sites offering download files or archives. (This is any site where 75% or more of there monthly traffic is from file downloads). Sites using more than 30% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds.
Traffic will go unmonitored until you reach your quota. Thereafter, you will be asked to upgrade to the next available plan and/or pay for excess of usage. You will receive a notice detailing your bandwidth usage. You will have 7 days to upgrade to the next available plan and/or pay for excess of usage. If you do not upgrade to the next available plan your site will be disabled within 7 days of your first notice.
BMK Hosting will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
Bandwidth Usage If a site uses over it's allotment of bandwidth for its type of account, the customer will be charged an additional $2.00 per GB over over allotment per month. If a site is popular enough that is using more than its bandwidth allotment, then the customer is expected to be responsible for higher charges based on the amount of data transfer. The customer acknowledges, in advance, that he/she will be charged an additional $5.00 per GB per month if the bandwidth exceeds the allotment for the users account. Please note that we sell in a block of 5GB at $2.00 per GB.
The customer will be e-mailed a notice once an additional amount is assessed to the customer account. Warnings will not be sent to notify customer that the limit has been reached or exceeded. This term and condition is non-negotiable.
Customers have the right to use their account for any type of legal data transfer including providing free image services that can be linked from the owner's account from any other service.
Unsolicited Email (Spam) Commercial advertisements with e-mail Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account suspension or cancellation. Commercial advertisements are unwelcome 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. Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five or six 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.
Chat Rooms We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms, without approving it with BMK Hosting. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option.
Background Running Programs We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.
Payment Policies All accounts are set up on a pre-pay basis. All pricing is guaranteed for the term of pre-payment. BMK Hosting reserves the right to change prices at any time, 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 BMK Hosting in writing for a request for termination of services.
