Terms Of Service

What do free disk space, data transfer, and email storage mean?
It’s pretty straightforward: Customers who use Hostmeva can obtain free disk space, data transfer, and email storage if they use their services consistently with these paragraphs.

What is appropriate usage?
Hostmeva is designed to serve the web hosting needs of small, independently owned and operated businesses in a single country. It is not appropriate to use our services to support large enterprises or internationally based businesses with a sustained demand that places undue burden on our systems or negatively impacts use by small, independently owned and operated businesses. Hostmeva is a shared web hosting service, which means that a number of customers’ web sites and other email or storage services are hosted from the same server. Hostmeva uses abuse controls to help ensure that use of our services does not adversely affect the performance of our system or other customers’ sites. It is not appropriate to use an account primarily as an online storage space or for archiving electronic files.

Disk space:
If you use your services consistently with the Terms of Service and these paragraphs, your site can grow as large as necessary to meet your small business needs, but to ensure a great experience for all, we will place some constraints on how fast you can grow. The vast majority of our customers’ sites grow at rates well within our rules, but our abuse controls may cause a brief delay while we evaluate if expansion is appropriate.

Data transfer:
In most cases, if you use our services consistently with the Terms of Service and these paragraphs, visitors to your web site will be able to download and view as much content from your site as they like. However, in certain circumstances, our server processing power, server memory, or abuse controls could limit downloads from your site. You can also upload as much as content as you like each month, subject only to the Terms of Service and the rules that control how fast your site can grow (see above).

Email storage:
You do not have to worry about hitting a storage limit if you use our services consistently with the Terms of Service and these paragraphs. Hostmeva will increase your space along with your appropriate small business needs, but our abuse controls may impact the rate of growth or your folder size, and there may be a short delay while we assess your usage. In some cases, creating additional folders or subfolders will help ensure that the system works well for everyone.

Website that are found to contain either/or no HTML documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to files deletion or account cancelation at the discretion of Hostmeva Management (“MANAGEMENT”), with or without prior notice. If YOU do not qualify for the free service, disk space will go unmonitored until YOU reach the amount allocated to YOUR specific web hosting plan (“PLAN”). Thereafter, normal website data storage costs $0.20/1MB/month will be billed to YOUR account. If you want to pre-pay for disk space overages, you will be billed $0.10/1MB/month. YOU will have 3 days to pay for your overages. Failure to do so will result in YOUR website being disabled within 3 days of YOUR first notice. This does not apply to co-location clients.

Co-location clients must pay for the overages IMMEDIATELY once billing or Hostmeva has the sole decision to deactivate any and all servers. Hostmeva will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

BANDWIDTH ABUSE

If YOU violate this condition, YOU will be notified and given 48 hours to remedy the problem. Failure to do so will result in YOU being billed for the overages. If YOU do not qualify for the free service, traffic will go unmonitored until YOU reach the amount of quota allocated to YOUR specific PLAN.

Hostmeva takes a zero-tolerance approach to SPAM originating from its servers or for spam advertising of domains hosted within our network. If found, we will charge YOU up to $25 per unsolicited email message sent and delete YOUR account with any prior notice. The following activities are not allowed: SPAM, which includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts (such messages may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your domain); Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers – any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning and without refund.

Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message with the intent to disrupt a server or account (“mail bombing”); Spamming Newsgroups: Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account cancelation. See the newsgroup or mailing list’s charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. Sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such; Mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail, YOU must not send that person any further messages.

Web Design Policy and Terms

Design
We will create designs for the look-and-feel, layout, and functionality of your web site. Our contract includes one main design plus the opportunity for you to make up to two rounds of revisions. If you’re not happy with the designs at this stage, you will pay us in full for all of the work produced up to that point, and you may either cancel this contract or continue to commission us to make further design revisions at the daily rate set out in our original estimate.

XHTML/CSS layout templates
If the project includes XHTML or HTML markup and CSS templates, we will develop these using valid XHTML 1.0 Strict markup, HTML 5, and CSS2.1 + 3 for styling. We will test all our markup and CSS in current versions of all major browsers including those made by Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla.
We will not test these templates in old or abandoned browsers, for example Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, 5.5, and 6 for Windows or Mac, previous versions of Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Opera unless otherwise specified. If you need to show the same or similar visual design to visitors using these older browsers, we will charge you at the daily rate set out in our original estimate for any necessary additional code and its testing.

Text content
Web Copy is a specialty of ours. If you are interested in Hostmeva Designs being responsible for the text in your website, we will offer these services at a price of $45 dollars per page, blog post, news post or the like. This includes content gathered from previous web content and any other research we conduct for the text.

Photographs
You will supply photographs either in digital or printed format. If you choose to buy stock photographs we can suggest vendors of stock photography. If we spend searching for appropriate photographs will be charged at $10 dollars per image.

Changes and revisions
We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your first idea about how something should look, or how it might work. We do not want to limit either your options or your opportunities to change your mind.

The estimate/quotation prices at the beginning of this document are based on the number of days we estimate needed to accomplish everything you have told us you want to achieve. If you do want to change your mind, add extra pages or templates, or even add new functionality, that will not be a problem. You will be charged the daily rate set out in the estimate we provided. Along the way we may ask you to put requests in writing in order that we will be able to keep track of changes.

Technical support
You may already have professional web site hosting, if that is the case, great. If you do not manage your own web site hosting we can set up an account for you at Hostmeva.

Domain registration and web hosting are available so that you don’t need to go to various vendors for various services. Hostmeva Consultants can surely be your one stop shop for all your business needs.

If your web site is hosted by Hostmeva, we do offer and include technical support for web site hosting, email, or other services relating to web site hosting. If you do require help with anything beyond the web hosting and web design of your site, we will help and will charge you $45 dollars per hour.

Legal stuff
We are not able to guarantee the functions contained in any web page templates, or in a completed web site, will always be error-free, and therefore you agree we will not be held liable to you, or any third party, for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of the operation of or inability to operate this web site and any other web pages, even if you have advised us of the possibilities of such damages.

If any provision of this agreement is determined to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Copyrights
You guarantee to us any elements of text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or other artwork you provide us for inclusion in the web site are either owned by you, or you have permission to use them.

When we receive your final payment, copyright is automatically assigned as follows:

You own the graphics and other visual elements we create for you for this project. We will give you a copy of all files and you should store them securely and safely as we are not required to keep them or provide any native source files we used in making them.

You also own text content, photographs and other data you provided, unless someone else owns them. We own the XHTML markup, CSS and other code and we license it to you for use on only this project.

We love to show off our work and share what we have learned with other people, so we also reserve the right to display and link to your completed project as part of our portfolio, and to write about the project on web sites, in magazine articles and in books about web design.

We are sure you understand how important it is as a small business for you to pay the invoices we send you in a prompt and timely manner. We are also sure you will want to stay friends, and you therefore agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule.

1. 30% retainer at beginning of development (deposit, to start).
2. 70% payment upon approval of design and project completion.
