for a refund. For example, if you've had an account with us before,

or if you have opened a second account with us. Violations of the Terms of Service
will waive the refund policy. 9. RESELLER: CLIENT RESPONSBILITY
Resellers are responsible for providing technical and Client service
support to their clients. Naked Hosting does not provide support
to our Reseller's Clients. If a reseller's client contacts us, we
reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the
reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support
requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf for
security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content
stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions
of their clients'. Naked Hosting will hold any reseller responsible
for any of their client’s actions that violate the law or
the terms of service. 10. SHARED HOSTING: (non-reseller
accounts)
Shared hosting account holders may not resell web hosting. If you
intend to resell hosting you must use a reseller account. 11. DEDICATED SERVER POLICIES 11.1 Bandwidth pricing and measurement
frequency is subject to change at Naked Hosting’s discretion.
Clients affected by such changes will be notified no less than thirty
(30) days in advance by Naked Hosting.
11.2 Naked Hosting is under no obligation to compensate Client
for downtime, whether the downtime is caused by Client, Naked Hosting, or Naked Hosting’s upstream providers.
11.3 Client agrees that dedicated server payments are NONREFUNDABLE.
For example, if Client submits payment for twelve (12) months of
service, service will be provided for twelve (12) months and will
not be refunded if Client chooses to discontinue service with Naked Hosting mid-way through the term.
11.4 No Refunds will be granted or honored for dedicated servers.
30 day money back guarantee does not apply to dedicated servers.
11.5 Hardware upgrades to an existing server will be performed by
Naked Hosting and shall incur a mutually agreed upon fee as
well as an increase to Client's standard monthly rate.
11.6 Naked Hosting reserves the right to alter the dedicated
server packages advertised on its website at its discretion. Naked Hosting is not required to upgrade Clients' hardware or bandwidth
allocation as a result of a pricing or service package change. Client
will not be required to upgrade hardware as a result of a pricing
change.
11.7 For managed services, Naked Hosting is responsible for
the security of the network, the kernel, and the base operating
system (defined as the standard set of FreeBSD packages that come
installed with the server). Naked Hosting may take any steps
it deems necessary at any time to protect the security of your server
(this generally includes applying security patches as well upgrading
the entire operating system).
11.8 Naked Hosting reserves the right to reset the password
on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current so
that we may do security audits. It is the responsibility of the
client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current
root password on file for their dedicated server on file to prevent
downtime from forced password resets. Naked Hosting reserves
the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative
actions. Dedicated servers are NOT backed up unless a back up is
specifically ordered. Having a paid back up service in place still
places responsibility on the Client to maintain other backups. It
is your responsibility to maintain backups.
Naked Hosting is not responsible for notifying unmanaged servers
of the need to apply patches. Failure to comply with these requirements
is grounds for termination of contract without refund. Naked Hosting reserves the right to take any action upon unmanaged dedicated
servers it deems necessary at any time to protect the security and
integrity of Naked Hosting’s network.
11.9 Dedicated Server cancellation requires a 30 day notice in writing
via email and an official cancellation via the My Account admin
area. 12. RESOURCE USAGE
Naked Hosting does not impose hard set limits each account's
system resources. We do not actively disable accounts until they
greatly exceed an acceptable level of usage. There are numerous
activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts,
FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc. Naked Hosting will advise Client of a temporary
block placed on any account found to be consuming an inordinate
amount of system resources, to the point of degrading overall system
performance. Naked Hosting Clients have the
option to add on protection to any shared or reseller hosting plan.
Certified insurance will insure an account is never suspended for
resource usage. The following is prohibited: * Run stand-alone, unattended server-side
processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any
and all daemons, such as IRCD.
* Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash /
AdSpy) on shared servers.
* Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
network.
* 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.
* Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
* Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942,
etc
* 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") 12.2 INODES
Naked Hosting does not impose hard set limits with regard to
a specific number of inodes. Naked Hosting will advise any Client
found having a high number inodes of a temporary block placed on
the account. The offending account will automatically be removed
from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Every file (a webpage,
image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. 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. 13. BANDWIDTH USAGE
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance
varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your
account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend
the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the
account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee,
suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package,
terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the
overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to
the next month. 14. MONEY BACK GUARANTEE Certified Hosting’s shared and reseller accounts carry
an Any Time Money Back Guarantee. If you are not
completely satisfied with our services, you will be given a full refund for unused time.
- Guarantee applies to first time clients only.
If you have had an account before and received a refund, you will not eligible for any further refunds.
- Prepaid (discounted) plans who wish to cancel, will be refunded any remaining balance. Balance is calculated using the difference between your original payment and the amount of usage to date. Usage is billed at plan regular monthly rate.

DOMAIN NAMES: Your domain is eligible for transfer after the standard 60 days. After 60 days, you are welcome to transfer you domain to any registrar of your choosing. During the 60 days you can update your name servers to point elsewhere in order to continue use of your domain.
15. UPTIME GUARANTEE
If your shared / reseller server has a physical downtime that is
not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit
on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of
Naked Hosting dependent upon justification provided. Third party
monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due
to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit
availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported
uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which
may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services.
To request a credit, please contact downtime@nakedhosting.com
with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email.
Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions. Dedicated
servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is
prorated for the amount of time the server is down which is not
related to our uptime guarantee. 16. PRICE CHANGE
The amount you pay for hosting will never increase from the date
of purchase. We reserve the right to change prices listed on nakedhosting.com
at anytime, without notice, and the right to increase the amount
of resources given to plans at any time. It is the Client’s
responsibility to check our website for plan or price changes. Naked Hosting does not automatically update Client’s plans. All
upgrades or downgrades will be performed at the request of the Client. 17. COUPON/PROMO CODES
Discounted coupon or promotional codes are valid for first-time customers only. Unless otherwise stated, codes may not be used towards the purchase of a domain registration. If you have had an account with us previously you may not resign up for that same domain using another coupon at a later date. Any account found in violation of these policies will invoiced appropriately. Any invoices generated for misuse of coupon/promos codes are due on receipt. Non payment of open invoices will result in account suspension. Coupon/Promo code abuse will not be tolerated and may result in the suspension or termination of the account. 18. INDEMNIFICATION
