1. ORDER VALIDITY

Client certifies that the information provided in the order form is accurate, and any payment instrument used is legitimate.

2. APPROPRIATE USE OF THE SERVICES.

Host4Gold provides the Services exclusively and makes no effort to edit, control, monitor or restrict the content of data other than as necessary to provide such Services.

Client Content

Client agrees that it will not distribute, electronically transmit or display any materials supplied by Client - or through Client by a third party - to any Host4Gold server in connection with Client's use of the Services which:

violate any Hong Kong laws or regulations;
infringe on any intellectual property rights (e.g., copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary rights) of Host4Egold or any third party; 
are child pornographic or related;
violate any 'Host4Gold' policy posted on the Host4Gold' Site, including but not limited to these terms and conditions;
contain viruses or other computer programming defects which result in damage to Host4Gold or any third party.

Host4Gold is based in Hong Kong and we will not sell or rent any information given to us by a client. Furthermore we will not divulge any information regarding a client to any third party without a subpoena from a compatible court of jurisdiction in Hong Kong.

 
Data Transfer (Bandwidth)

Client may occupy only the amount of disk space on the Host4Gold' Server and utilize no more than the network bandwidth that is allotted by Host4Egold Additional fees, specified on the Hosting upgrade page, will be charged for exceeding the disk space and/or network bandwidth allowance of your selected plan. NOTE: The bandwidth numbers available in the control panel only account for web, POP E-Mail and FTP bandwidth. If you are using excessive SMTP or sendmail, your bandwidth numbers can be higher.

CPU resources

Client may not use excessive CPU resources. This ensures a fast server environment and an equitable share of server function for all clients. Any script, streaming media, or downloads that use exceptionally high server resources (such as constant and extended mail server use) may have to be removed unless suitable arrangements are made with Host4Egold. While we will make every effort to work with the Client, Host4Gold reserves the right to immediately terminate any process and / or account that compromises the server's ability to deliver content for our clients.

Client may not install or use an IRC bouncer, IRC bot or server program (such as psyBNC). Such program processes are automatically terminated by the server, and accounts running such utilities will be deleted.

No "Sub-accounts"

Client may NOT resell space within their account. Each account is for the sole use of the Client. Evidence that space is being resold may be grounds for termination. This applies to resellers as well...each resold client is expected to have their own account.

No "SPAM"

Client shall not use the Services for chain letters, junk mail, spamming, or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. Client also shall not engage in any unsolicited E-Mail practices at Host4Gold, or otherwise, that mentions or references any domain hosted on Host4Egold' servers or parked on Host4Gold' DNS servers. (Violators will be dealt with on a case by case bases).

Licensed Software Only

Client agrees to use only properly licensed third party software in connection with Client's use of the Services.

Back-Up Files

Client is responsible for making back-up files in connection with its use of the Services. Backup capability is available through the Client’s Control Panel.

Termination

Host4Egold reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Host4Gold, in its sole discretion, may immediately suspend any account and/or terminate this Agreement if Client engages in any of the foregoing. To report any unacceptable behavior by a third party using the Services, please contact abuse (at) host4Gold.com.

3. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS

Service Fees

In order to provide the best possible hosting value for our clients, we require clients to make timely payments.

Hosting:

Host4Egold may apply a $10 reactivation fee for any account that has been suspended for non-payment. Host4Gold shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement for Client's failure to make timely payments to Host4Gold.

If Client terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 5 thereunder, Client shall be responsible for any outstanding fees owed to Host4Gold and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by Client. Because the Services are provided on a monthly basis, Client will be responsible for Service fees incurred each month regardless of when Client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if Client provides notice to terminate following the due date of a particular month, Client will still owe fees for the entire month and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded. If Client has retained the Services for one (1) year and has pre-paid Host4Gold for such Services, refunds will be issued for any unused full month portions of the Services upon Clients request.

4. CLIENT LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The parties agree that in no event shall Host4Gold be liable to any third party for Client's breach or alleged breach of any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Host4Gold from any and all expenses, losses, liabilities, damages or third party claims resulting from Client's breach or alleged breach of any Client obligations set forth thereunder.

5. TERM, TERMINATION & REINSTATEMENT

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Agreement shall be effective on the date you register for the Services, and shall continue in effect on a month-to-month basis unless otherwise specified by separate agreement (the "Term") unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Either party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other party. Failure of Client to remit payment is not sufficient notice for cancellation of service, and fees will continue to accrue until account deletion by Host4Egold or proper cancellation by Client.

Sections 3-10 of this agreement shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Reinstatement of accounts terminated by Host4Gold will be at Host4Egold sole discretion.
