As used in this Agreement, “Surf7.net” means Surf Seven Network and “Client”, “you”, or “your” means you. By clicking on the “Submit Order” button, you acknowledge that you have read the Agreement, and you agree to its terms and conditions and all policies posted on the Surf7.net site. As referred to in this Agreement, “Site” refers to a World Wide Web site and “Surf7.net Site” refers to the Site located at the URL http://www.surf7.net, http://www.surf7.net.my or any other successor Sites owned or maintained by Surf7.net.

In addition to the following, the Acceptable Use Policies provide more detailed information regarding what is acceptable use of our products and services.

 

Appropriate Use of the Services

Surf7.net 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 Surf7.net server in connection with Client’s use of the Services which:

  • violate any state, federal or foreign laws or regulations;
  • infringe on any intellectual property rights (e.g. copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary rights) of Surf7.net or any third party;
  • are defamatory, slanderous or trade libelous;
  • are threatening or harassing;
  • are discriminatory based on gender, race, age or promotes hate violate any Surf7.net policy posted on the Surf7.net site including but not limited to those listed in our Terms of Service (TOS).
  • contain viruses or other computer programming defects which result in damage to Surf7.net or any third party.

Disk Space

Virtual, Reseller, and Bulk Reseller Accounts: Client may occupy only the amount of disk space on the Surf7.net Server that is allotted by Surf7.net. Additional fees, specified in the hosting plans, will be charged for exceeding the disk space. Disk space measurement includes all customer content and generated content from their web site and includes but is not limited to MySQL data, Mailing List data and data in /home/user directories for virtual accounts. Surf7.net is not responsible for measurements provided by individual control panel software, which is 3rd party software not controlled by Surf7.net, which may or may not include all of the customer data in their measurements.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers: The Disk Drive and/or Disk Space Quota for these accounts is hard quota based and clients have full access and rights to the disk space. Available disk space for the Client excludes the space required for the Operating System, Control Panel and other Services that come with the server set up which is selected by the client. Client has full control of all disk space for these accounts and may remove, delete and/or alter the installed files and configurations. However, removing, altering or deleting the files and base configurations installed by Surf7.net and/or in the case of the Control Panels, is not part of the 3rd party software released packages, patches, fixes and or upgrades, places all software support for that account/server into a fee based category. Refer to our Support Policy for details regarding free versus fee based support.

Bandwidth

Virtual Private Server (VPS), Dedicated and Colocation Accounts are limited only to port speed. Default port setting is 1 Meg. Additional fees, specified in the account plan will be charged for exceeding the network bandwidth allowance of your selected plan/server.

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 and Processing

Virtual/Shared Hosting Clients will have the ability to reinstate files which are automatically archived by Surf7.net upon request for a minimal fee; however, Surf7.net does not guarantee the existence, accuracy, or regularity of its backup services, and therefore, Client is responsible for making back-up files in connection with its use of the services. The accuracy and quality of backup processes provided by 3rd party software, such as the individual 3rd party control panels, is not guaranteed by Surf7.net.

On Dedicated Servers with the on-board backup option, they are paying for the additional disk drive only. Surf7.net will provide and install the backup script for our clients upon request, but the running of cron jobs and services is the responsibility of the server owner. The backup script can be set up to generate a daily email with results to assist Client in monitoring. For mission critical data, Surf7.net highly recommends higher quality off-server backup services than what an on-board backup drive can provide. Doing periodic local backups is also highly recommended and prudent business practice.

Termination

Surf7.net reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Surf7.net, in its sole discretion, may immediately 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@surf7.net.
