3. Prices
Price Changes:
Web Services DOO reserves the right to change prices for services at the start of a customers next billing cycle for that service. Due to the historically declining prices of bandwidth and computer hardware, we anticipate that price increases generally will not be necessary. However, events outside of our control, such as prices charged to us for software licenses, power, space, or labor, or due to changes in regulations, taxes, fees, or other costs of doing business, are unpredictable in nature and may at some point require raising rates unexpectedly.
Currency and rates:
Currently, all services are priced in US dollars. Web Services DOO reserves the right to re-price some or all services in a different currency after giving notice of this change to the affected customers.
Prices valid for new orders only:
Our pricing regularly varies due to our stock on hand and these prices are adjusted on a regular basis as necessary to clear excess inventory or to intentionally slow sales as stock levels dictate. Because of this, any prices listed on our website, in special offers, or given as quotes to specific customers, are valid for new server orders only and may not be applied to existing orders.
Special Offers:
Special promotional pricing may be offered to specific existing or potential customers, or specific groups of potential or existing customers, from time to time, on a case by case basis, taking into account the economics of the particular situation and our business goals at that time. As such, offers made to specific customers, specific potential customers, or specific groups of customers or potential customers, are only valid for those customers the offer is made to, and may not be applied to existing or new orders by any other person or group.
4. Support
As our services are unmanaged, VPS World provides hardware support related to customers server functioning. VPS World does not offer software support outside of the installation of items chosen from the order form. VPS World only guarantees the default installation of any software, and in no way assumes liability for the configuration of any software. VPS World is not responsible for any downtime associated with mis-configuration of Operating Systems. KVM/OpenVZ VPS customers may reinstall their Operating System from within their control panel interface. VPS World does not provide any type of Support to the Customers of our Customers (Third Party Customers). We will only provide support directly to Customers of VPS World.
5. Backups and Data Loss
Your use of the service is at your sole risk. VPS World is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on Web Services DOO servers.
6. Abuse Policies
Account use:
Accounts, passwords, and other private information are provided for customer's use only. The customer is responsible for any use of their services or accounts, and is therefore responsible for maintaining the security of their accounts and passwords. Web Services DOO will only ask for a user's password in response to a support ticket submitted via our secured ticketing system. At no other time should you give your username or password to anybody.
Reselling:
Web Services DOO allows and encourages our customers to sell / resell hosting services using the services that we provide to you. The only stipulation is, that you or your employees or agents are responsible for first level technical support and billing for your customers. Any issues that require interaction with our technical support team must be raised in our help desk by yourself or your employees, and not directly by your customers. Even when reselling service to others, resellers are responsible for the actions taken on the services they are paying for, including bandwidth overages, or violations of the terms of service. We can provide some flexibility for resellers, insofar as cancellation of one service for abuse may not require us to cancel the reseller's other services, as would normally be required for regular customers.
Denial of Service Attacks:
In no case may Web Services DOO's services be used to conduct an attack on other networks or hosts, in any capacity. Doing so may result in permanent service suspension without refund. If DoS attacks are made against a customer's services, our first priority is to take steps to mitigate the impact to other customers, which may include null routing the affected ip address(es), or otherwise suspending the service being attacked. In the case that an attack does not affect other customers or the Web Services DOO network, the service being attacked will normally not be taken offline or suspended. Customers who are the target of frequent or repeated denial of service attacks, if those attacks negatively impact theWeb Services DOO network or it's customers, may have the services affected by these attacks permanently suspended. Web Services DOO reserves the right to disallow the usage of internet services that are frequent targets of DoS attacks, such as IRC.
Spam:
Sending of bulk unsolicited commercial email (spam), is not allowed and will not be tolerated. Customers using the Web Services DOO network may not send, or allow to be sent, via open relay or other means, unsolicited commercial email. Running a legitimate opt-in mailing list, or emailing existing customers, is of course, allowed. Although we may provide some opportunity to rectify spam problems that are not intentional on the part of the customer, ultimately, every customer is responsible for the activity that occurs via the services that they are paying for. Thus, customers who receive an occasional spam complaint but who do not appear to be knowingly sending spam, may be given notice to correct the issue, but repeated offenses may be grounds for service suspension. During any notice period given (if any), steps may be taken by Web Services DOO as necessary to stop spam from being sent by the customer's services, including temporarily suspending service, firewalling certain traffic, or other appropriate means. Customers who are, as determined by Web Services DOO, knowingly sending spam may have their service permanently suspended without refund. Operating websites or services on the Web Services DOO network, that are being or have been advertised in spam, are also not allowed, and are subject to the same policies as applied to services used to send spam. If customer's improper actions or inactions are the cause of Web Services DOO ip space being listed in any spam blacklist or database, that customer may be permanently suspended without refund, at the sole discretion of Web Services DOO.
Phishing:
Running websites that attempt to steal a user's login information or other personal data (phishing sites) is strictly prohibited. Users who unknowingly host these sites must take them down immediately, and their service may be temporarily suspended until action is taken to rectify the situation. Users who repeatedly host phishing sites, risk having their service permanently suspended. Users who, as determined by Web Services DOO, intentionally host phishing sites using Web Services DOO services may have their service permanently suspended without refund, at our sole discretion.
Legal Use:
Web Services DOO services may only be used for legally permissible purposes under applicable law. Violations of this rule may lead to temporary or permanent suspension of service, with or without refund, and / or notification of appropriate law enforcement, at Web Services DOO's sole discretion. Uses that are not allowed include, but are not limited to:
7. Content Policies
Content Monitoring:
The content and type of usage of the service is not regularly monitored for violation of these terms or of applicable law. In the course of performing other duties related to operating Web Services DOO, we may become aware of activities that are in violation of this agreement or applicable law. Upon noticing or being informed of these violations, we may take appropriate action, which, depending on the nature of the infraction, may include a warning, temporary or permanent service suspension, or, in cases of exploitation of children or other serious crimes, notification to the proper authorities. Even if we become aware of a specific violation, this does not obligate us to regularly monitor for future violations by the same customer or any other customer, as we do not have the resources nor the authority to regularly monitor customers in this way. We may, however, monitor the quantity of resources used, such as bandwidth, ram, cpu time, disk space, disk i/o and other statistical information, to ensure proper billing, capacity planning, and service reliability.
Adult content:
All legal adult content is allowed, as per applicable law.
Bit Torrent:
Legal usage of bittorrent is allowed, including running trackers, clients, or websites for non-copyright-infringing material. Laws regarding copyright infringement will apply, according to applicable US law. Frequent or unresolved DMCA complaints regarding bittorrent usage may be grounds for service suspension. Because of resources limitations. Torrents are allowed only on Windows VPS, KVM Storage VPS and Dedicated Servers.
IRC:
Because IRC usage attracts a disproportional amount of denial of service attacks, Web Services DOO does not allow usage of IRC clients, servers, bots, or other IRC technology. Customers who are found to be running IRC servers, clients, or bots, may have their service suspended, temporarily or permanently, at the discretion of Web Services DOO. Customers who knowingly run IRC servers, clients, or bots, which are targeted by DoS attacks, may have their service permanently suspended without refund, at the sole discretion of Web Services DOO.
Proxies:
Proxies which are not the cause of frequent or unresolved abuse issues are allowed. Customers who operate proxies which are subject to repeated and disproportionate levels of abuse may have their service suspended. Proxy usage is not an acceptable justification for providing more than our normal maximum allocation of ip addresses (8 per dedicated server), nor will Web Services DOO "rotate" or otherwise frequently change ip addresses on request for proxy operators.
Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Unmetered bandwidth on Windows VPS: The network port is fair-shared so constantly use high amount of bandwidth is not allowed. This includes constantly consume more than 100mbps over 6 hours or burst to the full port (1Gbps or 10Gbps) frequently.
International bandwidth on Vietnam VPS: Bandwidth from Vietnam to International is limited. We have 1Gbps local bandwidth in Vietnam and 50mbps bandwidth to International, so constantly consuming more than 10mbps international bandwidth over 1 hour is NOT allowed.
Resource Usage
Any user may not:
a) Use 100% or more of system resources for longer than 10 minutes.
b) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
