Hosting Policies

There are several policies created to ensure fairness to all of the clients that host with LaMarSOFT.

1) Pornography, pirated software, mp3 archives, rom archives, freeware/shareware software archives, cracking/hacking tools, and spamming are not allowed at LaMarSOFT. Any material of this nature or links to material of this nature will cause the account to be shut without financial refund. Sites of this nature often place web hosts at legal risk, and therefore cannot be allowed.

2) Sites used for fraudulent purposes or that contain substantial inaccurate information are not permitted.

3) LaMarSOFT reserves the right to close any web site that is using an unreasonable amount of bandwidth or server CPU time. This policy protects other web sites located within the same web server farm from becoming bogged down by the abusively high traffic site. We will work with you on hosting options such as dedicated servers etc.

4) Clients that tax the server with malfunctioning pages or cgi scripts will lose their right to have dynamic pages (such as ASP and Cold Fusion) and cgi scripts. Everybody writes a code that locks up from time to time, but LaMarSOFT will not allow one client's scripts to ruin uptime or performance for the rest of the clients. Keep this policy in mind when uploading cgi scripts or dynamic pages, since you assume full responsibility for every file that you upload. If your cgi or other other dynamic content is causing a noticeable performance bottleneck, your account will be disabled.

5) Failure to pay on time will result in the loss of the account. LaMarSOFT wants to give premier support to paying customers. Therefore, LaMarSOFT cannot waste time supporting those who do not pay.

6) Accounts created in the middle of the month get the rest of the month for free. For example, an account created on January 15 will not owe money for January. This policy makes sure you get your money's worth.

7) Websites that contain material that is intentionally offensive to racial minorities are not permitted. Sites that are found to contain such offensive content will be closed.

8) If you send spam, your account will be closed. We do not and will not tolerate spam. Spam is a waste of our network and system resources, and we are completely intolerant of anybody who sends or attempts to send spam.

9) We reserve the right to charge US$100 per spam message that is sent or attempted to be sent to or through any of our servers. If a spammer is putting uptime or performance at risk by flogging the email services with spam, we have every legal right to receive payment from the spam sender or the company represented within the spam to cover the cost of the services rendered. This policy applies equally to LaMarSOFT customers and non-LaMarSOFT customers.

10) LaMarSOFT reserves the right to block incoming email from any remote SMTP relay at any time for any reason. If a remote SMTP relay is misconfigured, spammers will often exploit the remote relay to send thousands (sometimes millions) of spams. If a spammer is abusing a remote SMTP relay to mailbomb domains at LaMarSOFT, LaMarSOFT will immediately block the IP of the SMTP relay that the spammer is abusing. LaMarSOFT also subscribes to multiple RBLs (real-time blocking lists) to automatically block known open SMTP relays and known spamming relays. While this policy dramatically reduces the amount of spam sent to LaMarSOFT, this may inadvertently block some legitimate email.

11) LaMarSOFT cannot and will not be held liable for any problem incurred while hosting with LaMarSOFT. By hosting with LaMarSOFT, you assume any and all risk for possible downtime and other server/connection related problems. If you are not willing to assume this risk, you should not host with LaMarSOFT. While LaMarSOFT makes every possible attempt to maintain the highest possible level of uptime, LaMarSOFT will not under any circumstances make any expressed or implied guarantee for any specific level of uptime.

12) In the event of a policy change, all customers (new and old) are subject to the policy change. These changes may occur at any time without notice from LaMarSOFT. LaMarSOFT customers should check the LaMarSOFT website periodically to check for changes to our policy.

13) Pricing and policies are subject to change at any time. Our policies are non-negotiable.
