It is your responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under your account are secure and permissions of directories are set properly, regardless of installation method. When at all possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as username and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.

3.) Zero Tolerance Spam Policy

No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.

BMM reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean up fee. This cost of the clean up fee is entirely at the discretion of BMM.

4.) Payment Information

You agree to supply appropriate payment for the services received from FBE, in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. You agree that until and unless you notify BMM of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis.

Cancellations must be done in writing, or through our automated online billing manager. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all necessary information with you via e-mail, we will inform you that your account has been canceled. At this time, your account with us has been canceled. If you do not hear back from us or receive an e-mail confirming this cancellation, please contact us immediately.

As a client of BMM, it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up-to-date, and that all invoices are paid on time. BMM provides a 3 day grace period from the time the invoice is due and when it must be paid. Any invoice that is overdue for 3 days and not paid will result in a late fee of $1 and/or an account suspension until account balance has been paid in full.

Invoices that have been paid more than once with multiple Paypal Payments can only be refunded as credit towards the account and cannot be refunded via Paypal. If you require assistance with this provision, please contact us.

BMM reserves the right to change the monthly payment amount and any other charges at anytime, after notifying clients via email.

EXCEPTION: If you contract with us for Backup Services, we are responsible for performing and maintaining backups according to the contracted schedule.

Customers may cancel at any time via the cancellation form, or (for PayPal subscriptions) through their PayPal account.

There are no refunds on administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or site move assistance. Refund requests after the intitial 15 days of service will be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused time. Refunds will only be granted on custom website services with the provision that no materials may be used by the client which have not been fully paid for.

Only first-time hosting accounts are eligible for a hosting refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund nor will you if you have opened a second account with us.

Violations of the Terms of Service will void the refund policy.

7a.) Hosting Resource Usage

User may not:

a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. This is likely to occur if you use multiple dynamic scripts on an account, or if you have high traffic or intensive downloads.

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.
c) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
d) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
e) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. Please note that you may link to torrents off server, but may not host or store them.
f) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
g) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
h) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes

When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include(“include.php”)

7b.) Hosting INODES

The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file on your account uses up 1 inode.

Simply exceeding the limit does not constitute grounds for suspension however accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis or cause file system damage may cause your account to be flagged for review.

8.) Hosting Bandwith 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.

If you are using a free account that is provided with a Maintenance Agreement, we will increase your account size up to our largest standard account, without additional charge to you. If you exceed the limits of our largest standard account, you are subject to the same conditions as other hosting account users.

9a.) Money Back Guarantee

BMM’s hosting plans carry a 15-day unconditional money back guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with our services within the first 15 days of your service, you will be given a full refund of the contract amount.  15 day unconditional money back guarantee is only for monthly shared packages and does not apply to other services. User must request a refund by emailing support.

9b.) Hosting Uptime Guarantee

If your shared hosting has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of BMM dependent upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact support with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared hosting solutions.

10a.) Shared Hosting

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people.

11.) Monthly Maintenance Services

BMM provides monthly backups, and regular site software updates to Monthly Maintenance clients. Doing so decreases the risk of site downtime due to third party abuse of the site, but cannot eliminate the risk. In the event that a client site is hacked or abused, and that client has an active contract for Monthly Maintenance from BMM, BMM will restore the client site without charge. In the event that BMM fails to perform backups or updates in a timely manner, BMM will bear the cost of site restore and reconstruction. Under no circumstances is FBE responsible for maintaining backups in excess of three weeks old.

12.) Indemnification

Customer agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save and hold BMM harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees asserted against BMM, its agents, its customers, officers and employees, that may arise or result from any service provided or performed or agreed to be performed or any product sold by customer, its agents, employees or assigns. Customer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FBE against liabilities arising out of; (1) any injury to person or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed in connection with FBE; (2) any material supplied by customer infringing or allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party; (3) any defective products sold to customers from FBE’s server.

13.) Disclaimer

BMM shall not be responsible for any damages your business may suffer. BMM makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or implied for services we provide. BMM disclaims any warranty or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This includes loss of data resulting from delays, no deliveries, wrong delivery, and any and all service interruptions caused by BMM and its employees, except as expressly stated elsewhere in the Terms of Service.

14.) Disclosure to Law Enforcement

BMM may disclose any subscriber/client information to law enforcement agencies without further consent or notification to the subscriber upon lawful request from such agencies. BMM will cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies, and will report hacking, phishing, spamming, or other legal violations to legal authorities – this is done to protect our clients, in the event that their site is abused by a third party, and because it’s the right thing to do.

15.) Change to the TOS

BMM reserves the right to revise its policies at any time without notice.

16.) Installed Website System Usage

Site owners may duplicate their site for their OWN use (on a domain name that THEY own), but MAY NOT duplicate the site structure for Resale or for sharing with friends.
