Terms of Use:

Acceptance:

Provision of any services to you from Lakeside Web Services constitutes your agreement to be bound by all terms and conditions contained herein.

Terms:

All services provided by Lakeside Web Services will be automatically renewed on the due date for that service (30 days in advance for domain registration renewals), as dictated by your chosen billing cycle and by the date of your original invoice, unless written notice of your intention to cancel services is given to us no less than thirty (30) days prior to the next billing cycle date. It is your responsibility to maintain current billing information in our system. Failure to maintain current billing information in our system by you (eg, contact information, billing address, credit card number, credit card expiration date, etc.), or having invoices which remain unpaid past the due date will result in the automatic suspension of services. Services which remain unpaid for ten (10) days will be automatically terminated, and any files, web pages, email accounts, etc. will be automatically deleted from our servers. If the service in question is a domain name, ownership of said domain name will be terminated and the domain name will go back into the pool of publicly available domain names, per ICANN regulations, at the end of their current renewal period. If other domain names are owned by you, Lakeside Web Services reserves the right to sell these domain names at public auction. Refunds for unused services are given at the sole discretion of Lakeside Web Services. All written correspondence with Lakeside Web Services must be sent via email from our web site’s contact us page.

Content:

Hosting services provided by Lake Sides Web Services may be used for lawful purposes only. The use of our services to transmit or store any material that is in violation of United States law is strictly forbidden. Material that is not allowed on our servers includes, but is not limited to:

· Any third-party software/scripts/products installed on our servers by you without our express written consent.
· Bulk e-mail related software/products/information.
· Any material which you do not own or have permission from the copyright owner to use.
· Pornographic or any other adult content.
· Any material related to hacking.

Lakeside Web Services reserves the right to deactivate and remove any advertising or web site from its servers which contains material that, at Lakeside Web Services' sole discretion is deemed to be unacceptable, undesirable, or which may damage the reputation of Lakeside Web Services.

Personal, Non-Profit Use:

Services advertised as being for Personal or Non-Profit use only cannot be used for any business/small business/hobby business or other revenue-generating web site under any circumstance. Should a web site be found to be in violation of this policy, it will be immediately switched to the next higher available service at that time, and will be done so without notification.

For the sake of this agreement, personal/non-profit use is defined solely as use by a legally registered 501(c) non-profit organization, or use by an individual ONLY where there is no advertisement of services for sale or hire - be they freelance, distributorships, affiliates, or otherwise - anywhere on the site.

Control:

Hosting customers may not resell or give away control of any part of their Lakeside Web Services account, including but not limited to, web space, system resources, e-mail, and ftp accounts unless they have written permission from Lakeside Web Services to do so.

E-mail:

Spamming (the practice of sending unsolicited e-mail) and mass-mailing from Lakeside Web Services' servers is strictly forbidden. Any practice which causes any Lakesides Web Services IP number or server to be listed on any "spam blacklist" will result in immediate suspension/termination without notice. Lakeside Web Services will decide on a case by case basis what it constitutes to be harmful to the smooth operation of our servers. The use of our servers to provide a free e-mail service is also strictly forbidden.

Privacy:

Lakeside Web Services will not under any circumstances divulge your contact information, billing/payment details or history, or the details of domain names and web sites you own, or the details of any other service you may have with us to any third party without your express written consent or court order.

Should you request us to do so, we will pass pertinent access information for your account to a third party web developer/designer that you have contracted on your own in order to facilitate their design, upload, or maintenance of your site on your behalf.

Lakeside Web Services reserves the right to use any of your communications with us as "testimonials" of our service to you, your customer satisfaction, etc. Such testimonials would never use your full last name without your prior approval.

Server Abuse:

Attempting to cause harm to a Lakeside Web Services' server, or any other server on the internet using an account on Lakeside Web Services, or participation in any illegal activity using an account on Lakeside Web Services, will result in immediate removal of that account, and forwarding of any pertinent information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

System Resource Usage:

If Lakeside Web Services discovers that a customer's web site or scripts are using an unacceptable amount of server resources including but not limited to CPU and memory usage we may suspend or terminate the customers account.

Our normal practice is to suspend/terminate accounts without notice ONLY if the web site in question is likely to jeopardize the smooth operation of Lakeside Web Services' servers. Normally, Lakeside Web Services will email or phone the customer asking them to reduce the resources they are using.

Chat rooms and "top site" scripts are likely to use an unacceptable amount of resources and are therefore not allowed on Lakeside Web Services' servers.

Message boards are allowed on Lakeside Web Services servers, but customers should be aware that if they become extremely popular they are likely to use an unacceptable amount of system resources and should be switched to a dedicated server for better performance.

Warranty/Limitation of Liability:

Customer hereby agrees that Lakeside Web Services makes no warranties, express or implied and Customer hereby waives any claim based upon any breach thereof. Customer further agrees that Lakeside Web Services shall not be liable for any consequential, indirect or punitive damages arising out of any breach, delay or default in performance of this Agreement, and in any event, the amount of damages due from Lakeside Web Services to Customer shall never exceed, and shall be limited to, a credit allowance of all payments made to date of claim, but not to exceed one (1) months' service fee at current rates. Lakeside Web Services' liability arising out of mistakes, accidents, omissions, interruptions, delays, or defect in transmission, including those which may be caused by regulatory or judicial authorities, shall in no event exceed the amount of the credit allowance, if any, available under this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, Lakeside Web Services shall have no obligation to provide alternative routing with respect to any Service provided pursuant to this Agreement. IN NO EVENT SHALL LAKESIDE WEB SERVICES BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON, FIRM OR ENTITY IN ANY RESPECT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR ANY DAMAGES, EITHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, ACTUAL, PUNITIVE, OR FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF MISTAKES, NEGLIGENCE, ACCIDENTS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS OR DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION, OR DELAYS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY REGULATORY OR JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OBLIGATIONS OF LAKESIDE WEB SERVICES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. LAKESIDE WEB SERVICES MAKES NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, AS TO THE DESCRIPTION, QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, COMPLETENESS OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE FOR THE SERVICE OR LOCAL ACCESS, OR AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER, ALL OF WHICH WARRANTIES BY LAKESIDE WEB SERVICES ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED.

INDEMNITY BY CUSTOMER:
