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.

3.) Zero Tolerance Spam Policy
We have a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. "Safe lists" and "double opt-in" will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice.

Please read HostYourSitePH’s Mailing Policy and Limits here.

Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This condition includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. 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.

HostYourSitePH reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site, account, database, or other component that does not comply with its established policies, or to make any such modifications in an emergency at its sole discretion.

HostYourSitePH 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 HostYourSitePH.

4.) Payment Information and Account Cancellation
You agree to pay for the services received from HostYourSitePH in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. Accepted payment methods are electronic bank transfers and bank deposits.

As a client of HostYourSitePH, you are responsible in ensuring your payment information is current. HostYourSitePH will provide a five (5) day grace period to give you ample time to pay for the web hosting services to be provided, during which we will be informing you of your lapse in payment. If you fail to pay for the services provided and/or respond to our emails within the grace period, we will suspend your account. You will be given another five days to settle your account with HostYourSitePH after which we will finally terminate your account.

HostYourSitePH reserves the right to cancel the account at any time with or without notice if your account has been found to have violated any of HostYourSitePH’s terms and conditions.

You can cancel you account anytime. Cancellations must be done by submitting a ticket through our Ticketing System. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all vital information with you via e-mail, we will inform you in writing that your account has been canceled.

Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject for your reference, and for verification purposes. You should immediately receive an automatic "Your request has been received…" email with a tracking number. An employee will confirm your request (and process your cancellation) shortly thereafter. We require that cancellations of service are done through the online form to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing you are prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process reduces the likelyhood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and ensures you are aware that the files, emails, and account may be removed immediately after a cancellation request is processed.

All payments made are non-refundable.

5.) Price Change

HostYourSitePH reserves the right to change the monthly payment amount and the extra services charges anytime. We will notify you through email and by posting on HostYourSitePH about these changes.

6.) Backups and Data Loss

Your use of the service is at your sole risk. HostYourSitePH is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on HostYourSitePH servers.

7a.) Resource Usage

You may not:
a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
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. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
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.) 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 (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension.

The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose "Mail", then "Default Address", "Set Default Address", and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

8.) Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance which will depend on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account exceed the allocated amount, HostYourSitePH has the right to suspend your account. You will then be given the option to upgrade your account to a higher package with a bigger bandwidth allowance, or wait until your bandwidth allocation has been reset. Unused bandwidth allowance cannot be carried over to the next month.

9.) Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, save, and hold HostYourSitePH harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs, and claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees asserted against HostYourSitePH, 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. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HostYourSitePH against liabilities arising from; (1) any injury to person or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed in connection with HostYourSitePH; (2) any material supplied by customer infringing or allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party; (3) copyright infringement and (4) any defective products sold to customers from HostYourSitePH ‘s server.

10.) Disclaimer

HostYourSitePH 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 HostYourSitePH and its employees.

11.) Disclosure to law enforcement
