Terms Of Service

This Web Hosting Agreement is between Stallion Hosting and the person/persons who use our website hosting and domain service. Please read carefully to ensure you understand our terms before purchasing any of our products or services. Stallion Hosting provides web hosting to clients worldwide, and we have a responsibility to protect each client and to provide the best services available. All clients of Stallion Hosting are subject to the following terms of service:

We will set up your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under.

All customers are responsible for monitoring their storage space and bandwidth transfer each month. Customers who go over the limit of their account will be sent an email with the option to either upgrade their account or reduce store and or storage. If customers continue to go over we will do everything possible to fix the problem. We do hold to right to ban accounts for continuous problems. If customers sign up for an account and cancel it within the first month they will still be charged for the full first month. As the client 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. Always, set permissions on most directories to 755 or stronger. Always, set permissions on most files to 644 or stronger. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name 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.
It is your responsibility as the client to keep all your scripts up to date all the times.
If your site is hacked due to outdated scripts or weak passwords then that is 100% your responsibility and Stallion Hosting cannot be held responsible whatsoever.
We Reserve The Right To Delete Any Account Without Notice if the account is seen to be abusing server or network resources.

We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. Safe lists and double optin will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated without notice. We reserve the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site, account, database, or other component that does not comply with this policy, at our sole discretion. We also reserves the right to make any such modifications in an emergency at our sole discretion.

All rights reserved.

Unsolicited commercial advertisements ('SPAM') are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account cancelation. Stallion Hosting takes a zero-tolerance approach to SPAM originating from its servers or for spam advertising of domains hosted within our network. If found, YOUR account may be deleted.

The following activities are not allowed: SPAM, which includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts (such messages may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your domain); Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers - any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning and without refund. Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message with the intent to disrupt a server or account ('mail bombing'); Spamming Newsgroups: Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account cancelation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. Sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such; Mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail, YOU must not send that person any further messages.

NOTE - If YOU use the services of another provider to promote a website hosted by or through Stallion Hosting ('spamvertising'), then the provisions of the above policy shall apply as if the SPAM were sent through our servers.

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