HollyRidge Computer & Web Services provides web hosting and other services to many clients therefore we have a responsibility to protect each client and to provide the best services available. We believe these are fair and any normal site should have no problems following them. The following guidelines were established to ensure these obligations are met. We haven’t randomly thought of these rules, they are rules that have been put in place from experience as server administrators which we know make our servers perform better. If you have a question about them please contact us through our web site.

Content:

All services provided by HollyRidge Computer & Web Services may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any United States Federal, State, County, or City law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret and other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless HollyRidge Computer & Web Services and its employees from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.

HollyRidge Computer & Web Services will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

All Accounts Must Obey The Following:

The Following Scripts Are Banned from our hosting servers:
– Bot Programs
– Chat Programs unless authorized by HollyRidge Computer & Web Services
– Any Background Running Program unless authorized by HollyRidge Computer & Web Services
– IRC Programs
– Topsites scripts
– Streaming Media – Scripts VERY likely to eat up all of our CPU or RAM

If you are using a script to such an extent that you are causing negative impact to others on the server, we can briefly suspend your account while we work with the site owner to sort out the problems (script changes etc) and we have the right to leave said account suspended in the event (before, during, or after all forms of contact have been attempted) we cannot contact the owner of the account until the owner responds. We will always work with the site owner to locate the problem scripts and help to stop the problems happening again.

Download Sites:

This is any site where 20% or more of their monthly traffic is from file downloads.

– Sites using more than 20% of their resources for media unless authorized by HollyRidge Computer & Web Services.
– Sites hosting audio/video files of any kind unless authorized by HollyRidge Computer & Web Services.
– Sites hosting files over 5 megabytes in size each unless authorized by HollyRidge Computer & Web Services.

This is to prevent warez type content on our servers as well as to prevent excessive load and abuse of our bandwidth. However we may allow download sites with prior consent. Any site deemed to be a download site without prior authorization may be deactivated or terminated at our sole discretion.

HollyRidge Computer & Web Services will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Backups:

The user agrees that they will keep backups of their sites on their computers. HollyRidge Computer & Web Services accepts no responsibility for loss of data, however HollyRidge Computer & Web Services does make every effort to make periodic backups of sites. This is an extra service and the end user is responsible for making sure they have up to date site files saved offline. If we have to locate files from our backups that users have accidentally deleted we may charge an administrative service fee per retrieval.

Commercial Advertising – Email:

Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a Site or using an email address or domain that is maintained on a HollyRidge Computer & Web Services machine as a reference is STRICTLY prohibited.

All mailing lists should be double opt-in. This means when users on a cliemts site give said client their e-mail address they user should also have to verify it through e-mail afterwards before anymore mail is sent. This prevents us being listed in spam databases. Any solicitation email(s) and/or newsletter(s) sent must have a valid link at the bottom for the reciever to opt-out of any future email(s) and newsletter(s). If they so choose to opt-out you must comply with their request within 24 hours and remove them from any future mailings. Failure to do so may cause your service to be deactivated or suspended.

Background Running Programs:

We generally do not allow user programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a case-by-case basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.
