GENERAL
TERMS
Domains
you purchase through Katz Global Media's Domain Trust are held in a "Domain
Trust" on your behalf by Katz Global Media. You will be issued or you will
select a Customer ID# at the time of your order and you will use that Cutomer
ID# to maintain control over your account. Under this agreement, you are granted
all the rights of domain management as if you were the direct registering party.
Katz acts as a trust. This means that we administer your domains for you as
a sub contracted 3rd party. You may buy, sell and manage your domains. You may
also redirect your domains to any server and specify DNS for your domains.
If you ever
wish to cancel our anonymous service for your domain(s), we will transfer ownership
of the domain to you upon your request as long as your account payment status
is up to date.
If you neglect
to pay for services we reserve the right to cancel this agreement and repossess
the rights granted to you over the domain(s) in question.
We reserve
the right to terminate your hosting account without notice for any violation
of our agreement or any apparent or implied violation of the law.
Clients
may occupy only the amount of disk space on Katz Global Media's Servers and
utilize no more than the network bandwidth which is allotted by Katz Global
Media. Account upgrades are available.
Client may
be charged for over-utilization of either disk space or network bandwidth.
Client shall
not use the Services for chain letters, junk mail, spamming, or any use of distribution
lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in
such a process.
Client also shall not engage in any unsolicited email practices on or through
our servers.
Katz Global Media, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement
if Client engages in any of the foregoing. To report any unacceptable behavior
by a third party using the Services, please contact [email protected].

dDos
attacks:
in the event
that you site falls victim to a dDOS or dos attack we reserve the right to suspend,
cancel, relocate, and/or terminate any contract without a refund at our discretion.
In these situations we will do everything possible, but will also act to protect
the greater good of all clients and reserve the right to eliminate a single
client in order to accomplish this.
--------
Legal Disclaimer:
As an ISP/Hosting
Provider we are considered a distributor and NOT a Publisher. Although
we make every effort to check our clients websites from time to time we do not
have the resources to monitor everything that goes on a clients website or through
our servers.
As a distributor we are
protected by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which specifically addresses
the question of whether or not ISPs are publishers or distributors. The statute
states that "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall
be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another
information content provider. The effect of this provision has been to free
ISPs from all liability in defamation cases. If you are hosting such a site
that could be considered defamatory, we are forced to remove the site once we
are made aware of the breach of our Terms of Service Agreement. We reserve the
right to use our judgment in such cases and either force content modifications,
close websites and or ignore the complains altogether if we do not feel that
the claim is legitimate. In some cases we will protect our client and stand
in the way of frivolous claims.
If you are someone who feels that a site on our servers may be fraudulent, running
a scam for financial gain or defamatory to you personally, please notify us
immediately so that we may take the proper actions. We guarantee a fast resolution
and fast communication.
--------
PASSWORDS and account
access information:
You will either choose or
be issued an account number, user name and password, or some combination thereof.
It is your responsibility to ensure you do not lose this data. If you do lose
this data we have no way of matching your account to the owner of the account
and you risk locking yourself out from your hosting account, customer support
and ownership of the domains held in trust.
It is very important to
keep this data safely stored.
--------
SPAM
POLICY
Depending
on the circumstances each violator will be issued our "one-time warning"
email. This email warns them that their behavior will lead to the termination
of their site, as well as ban them from ever returning to Katz Global Media.
If costs are incurred due to our ip's being blocked, there will be a fee payable
within 48hrs to Katz Global Media. Fee's vary depending on the ip block and
situation $30 - $50 USD.
Either after
an initial warning or warnings, or if the situation is considered severe, the
client will be notified of their termination and their site will be removed
from Katz Global Media's servers.
If you have
collected email addresses of willing participants to your organization, company,
program, or newsletters then it is ok to send out bulk email to these people.
It is also ok to send out personalized individual email to other companies you
know or have heard about that have not given you consent, but of which you have
received a referral.
Katz Global
Media reserves the right to decide what it considers "spam", "UCE",
"mail bombing", or "bulk email". Let us know if you are
unsure of your email responsibilities before placing an order.
Laws vary drastically from state to state and country to country. We recommend
studying the law and requesting permission from us before mass mailing when
there is any question as to the legalities of the mailing in question.
You may
not use our servers to 'catch' traffic coming from mass mail sent from other
servers or or internet providers.
