Subscribers of Cosmick Technologies are prohibited from storing or posting adult content, or links to adult content, through the subscribed service. All material of pornographic nature is considered adult content.

Cosmick Technologies offers disk space and other resources, such as email or FTP accounts, or a great amount of each one of these resources with certain plans. The intention of Cosmick Technologies is to provide a large amount of space and resources for our customer's convenience of not having to worry about disk space or resource allotments. These resource and disk space allotments are optimized and dedicated towards serving web documents and self-need email / FTP services and are not to be used as offsite storage area for electronic files, or as a provisioning service for third party email or FTP hosts. All your downloadable files or files stored on the server have to be available for download via a HTML document stored on the Internet in a publicly or privately accessible area. This policy only applies to web sites that are considered to be abusive in service, disk space or resource consumption and where it is evident that the "fair-use" of resources among customers has been breached, particularly in regards to disk space utilization. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the sole discretion of Cosmick Technologies. If a "Fair-Use" breach occurs, Cosmick Technologies may have to remove files from the subscriber's account in order to restore full serviceability to other subscribers affected by the breach. In any case, the subscriber will be notified of any actions that Cosmick Technologies may have to take.

Cosmick Technologies takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM through our network and services. Customers of Cosmick Technologies may not use, or permit others to use, our network to partake in UCE distribution. Customers of Cosmick Technologies may not host or permit hosting of sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks.

Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, Cosmick Technologies will initiate an immediate investigation. During the investigation, Cosmick Technologies may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. Subscriber will thereafter be advised of the situation. If a subscriber is found to be in violation of this TOS, Cosmick Technologies may, at its sole discretion, unilaterally restrict, suspend or terminate the violating customer's account. Early Termination Fee of $100.00 will be in affect at that point. Further, Cosmick Technologies reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. Cosmick Technologies will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.

Payment
 

Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt of payment of stated charges by Cosmick Technologies. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month's service or whichever is the selected billing cycle.

Failure to Pay
 

Cosmick Technologies may temporarily deny or terminate service upon the failure of the subscriber to pay the charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve the subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges and any collection fees.

Account Cancellation
 

A subscriber may cancel his account at any time. A $100.00 early termination fee will be applied.  If requesting a cancellation, we ask that subscriber briefly explains the reasons for doing so, as well as any suggestions on how Cosmick Technologies could improve service. The cancellation will take effect immediately and the subscriber’s account will remain in state of holding of one month’s time. Subscriber can request there information if account is cancelled and one time access via ftp is granted for subscriber to gain all information.

 Subscriber Acknowledgement
 

Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that the service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of Cosmick Technologies and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are impossible to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that Cosmick Technologies shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of Cosmick Technologies. Subscriber further acknowledges that the Cosmick Technologies liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall Cosmick Technologies be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

Change of Name servers
 

In cases of new hosting accounts or additions / modifications to hosted domain names or any other cases which involve the change of name servers of a domain from other DNS servers to Cosmick Technologies DNS servers, there may occasionally be a delay of several days, weeks or longer depending on the accessibility of control options at the respective registrar of the domain name registration. It is possible that if the registrar (or the entity having control over the domain registration) is not cooperative, the domain name servers can not be changed at all. Due to the unpredictable nature of the name server change process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific change may take. On customer request, name server change of domain names is done by Cosmick Technologies on behalf of the account holder. In such cases, a successful change of name servers cannot be guaranteed in any way or fashion as it solely depends on the accessibility or cooperation by the domain name registration’s registrar.
