Terms and Conditions of Use - Hosting

Nine Planets, LLC reserves the right to refuse service to any site at our sole discretion. Although we do not believe in censorship, Nine Planets, LLC does not allow the following types of sites:

• Websites containing explicit pornographic material
• Racist or hate-related websites
• "Warez" sites, including but not limited to any copyrighted software or music files
• Sites which provide methods for circumventing copy protection ("cracks", key codes, serial numbers, decoder chips, etc...) are also not permitted.
• Any content which is not legal in the United States

Nine Planets, LLC will not host websites which are advertised through unsolicited email, excessive newsgroup crossposting, or off-topic newsgroup posts. What is considered spam is determined at the sole discretion of Nine Planets, LLC. We will make every effort to work with our customers to insure that legitimate websites are not shut down due to what may be wrongly interpreted as unsolicited mail. Although we are first and foremost an advocate of our customers, sites in flagrant violation of this policy will be shutdown without a refund of any kind. In addition, to protect the quality of service for all of our customers, any bulk emailing that adversely affects the performance of our shared mail servers will be either discontinued or moved, pending customer approval, to one of our list server or dedicated server plans.

Each hosting plan is allocated a specific amount of network and system resources which is clearly specified on the Nine Planets, LLC website. We realize that from time to time, customers may have unanticipated circumstances which cause their websites to use more bandwidth, disk space, or other resources than they have been allocated with their plan. In extreme cases, such overages may result in additional charges or the request to upgrade your service to a more suitable plan. Nine Planets, LLC will make every effort to contact you to prevent any unexpected charges or service interruptions. If the resources required by your website negatively impact other customers in our shared hosting environment, we may take steps, including possible temporary suspension of service, to restore normal server operations. Under all circumstances, suspension of service is an absolute last resort and we will make every effort to work with our customers to insure continuous and trouble-free service.
