ENGRAFITO.COM Hosting Terms Of Service
Return to Engrafito Hosting Payment
You must accept these terms of service in order to use our service. These terms
of service may be updated as needed at any time without notice. The main purpose
of this agreement is to protect all users on our servers.
Read these terms of service carefully and return here frequently. Updates are
cataloged
on this part of the page.
1.) Suspension
Violation of these terms of service could result in suspension or removal of
your account depending upon the circumstances. Suspension means that your
account is put into a limbo state and is unreachable through any means. During
suspension no files are lost or altered. Accounts found to be running a script
which is causing a very high cpu load or mail script being used to send spam
will almost always be suspended without notice to prevent further damage. Poorly
written scripts must be removed in order for us to restore your service. Reports
of spam are taken seriously usually resulting in immediate account suspension
and investigation without notice. We reserve the right to suspend any or all
accounts held by you without notice if we deem it necessary to do so.
2.) Scope of Service
Our servers and pricing has been designed to be low cost and therefore, in that
spirit we are simply providing basic http, mail & ftp level hosting services.
This also means that applications or scripts set up by users to run on the
server which cause high cpu load may be asked to move to a dedicated server.
High CPU load is defined as using an average of more than 2% of the server
processor in a 24 hour period beginning and ending at midnight, as determined by
our server.
*For reference the average medium traffic website uses about .5% of system
resources.
Engrafito.com Web Hosting staff doesn’t offer “how-to” support on running or
installing scripts. Engrafito Hosting Staff may determine that a badly written
script may affect our servers and thus cause the cancellation of the account
immediately.

discussion scripts. To protect all users please use the following guidelines.

asked to move to a dedicated server or be disabled. This is to protect all users

a serious security risk, therefore can not be run on our servers.

Anonymous file sharing scripts
These scripts are on the banned list because they have at one time been

Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a Engrafito.com Web Hosting
server or using an email address that is maintained on a Engrafito.com Web
Hosting machine is STRICTLY prohibited. Equally, any email or usenet spam which
points to any domain hosted on a Engrafito.com Web Server will result in
immediate suspension of that domain name account and a full investigation. Any
form mail script running on your account is done at your own risk. Ignorance of
the risks of such scripts is no defense. Engrafito.com Web Hosting will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

course of a spam investigation and wish to report abuse send all details and
headers to webmaster@Engrafito.com.com as soon as possible.

extremely high load on our servers. Using our servers to send or accept spam
type or junk email in mass quantities for pay (or free) is expressly forbidden.
Domains receiving more than 10,000 emails per 24 hour period will need to make
arrangements to host email on a dedicated server or have incoming email null
routed.

this includes all outgoing SMTP and Mailing Lists. Maximum POP3 mailbox checking
is limited to once each 30 seconds per email account.

resulting from a users actions, or natural fluctuations in internet consistency.

assure that each and every client site is up as consistently as possible.
15.1.) Website Operability
Engrafito.com Web Hosting constantly updates server software and security
settings based upon internal and external conditions which can change without
notice. For this reason it is usually not feasible to announce some changes in
advance, especially where server security is involved. While most changes go
completely unnoticed by our customer occasionally a security or server change
will break a website's functionality. It is the responsibility of the website
developer to create his website to function within our server environment and we
cannot troubleshoot, edit, or attempt to fix any website which cannot run in our
server environment.
16.) Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold Engrafito.com Web Hosting, and its officers,
agents or other partners, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising
out of your Content, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service,
your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another.
17.) Billing
Engrafito.com Web Hosting's billing period is typically every 30 days to 360
days depending on the term you have chosen. Each account may be paid monthly on
this same website, depending on the case. After the account has been suspended
for 30 days it will be deleted. Account suspension does not release the past due
debt, and duration of the suspension for any reason is considered billable
service until the files are deleted by us or the current hosting term expires
whichever is sooner.
18.) Refunds
Engrafito.com will offer no refund of your total paid. Please be aware of this
before pressing the Buy Now button on this website.

to cancel service. Please supply your account username and password for
verification purposes, or we will need to verify via email for your protection.
We will immediately stop recurring billing on your account at 2Checkout or
PayPal and delete your account at the end of its current billing cycle for the
domain name or domain names affected.

All resold plans (your customers) are subject to the same terms and conditions
of regular hosting plans, with the following additional terms:

hosting accounts for third parties for no consideration or monetary price is
strictly prohibited. This also applies to giving away email accounts to non
trusted parties.

You agree to exercise care in screening new signups to help prevent abuse or hit
and run spamming operations from gaining access to our servers. You agree to

deemed as a violation of "reasonable care" and may put your main account in
serious jeopardy.
d.) CPanel Demo Accounts
We do not allow Cpanel Demo Accounts
e.) Third Part Violation of TOS
Hosted domains (your customers) found to be in violation of the terms and
conditions are subject to suspension or deletion without notice depending upon
the severity of the violation. Any suspended domain must be brought into
compliance before un suspending the account. Any domain deemed by us to be in
severe violation must be removed from the server and may never be reinstated.
Reinstating accounts banned forever by us will put your main account in serious
jeopardy.
f.) Restoring Banned Websites
Important - If the reseller recreates a previously banned domain that was under
their control on our server all the domains under their control will be
suspended pending deletion. We also cannot under any circumstances restore or
help move these suspended domains.
