If any sudden and unexpected bandwidth overusage occurs Julian Murray believes in communicating with our Clients and will try to work with our Clients to resolve any overage issues before taking action which could cause a Client''s service to become unavailable.

Bandwidth usage is measured on a monthly basis.

In the event that Client exceeds the allowable bandwidth limit, Julian Murray will request the Client to immediately upgrade to the next higher hosting plan. If Client fails to upgrade a fee for over usage will be charged at $4.40 incl GST per GB will be charged, charged in 1 GB lots.

1.6 No Spam Policy (NSP)

Julian Murray takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or spam over our network. Very simply this means that customers of Julian Murray may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Clients of Julian Murray may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam we reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk email being sent from servers.

a. Violation of Julian Murray''s email policy, as outlined in the Terms Of Service ("TOS") and Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our AUP, Julian Murray will initiate an immediate investigation (within 72 hours of notification). During the investigation, Julian Murray may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our TOS or AUP, Julian Murray may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer''s account. Further, Julian Murray reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. Julian Murray will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.

b. First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $220 incl GST and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $550 incl GST and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $175 per hour that personnel must spend to investigate the matter.

1.7 Refund and Disputes

All payments to Julian Murray are non refundable. This includes one time setup fees, prepayment fees, and subsequent charges regardless of usage. Client shall not be entitled to any refunds, pro-rated or otherwise, in the event of early termination of this agreement by Julian Murray according to the terms herein. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 14 days of the time the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer or payment provider (charge back) that is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and/or AUP to which you have already agreed to, you agree to pay Julian Murray an "Administrative Fee" of not less than $110.00 incl GST and not more than $220.00 incl GST.

Pursuant to this, if you have intentionally obtained a service from Julian Murray with the specific intent to then dispute the charge to enable you to utilise the service from us without paying for it (theft of service), it will be considered an act of fraudulent activity. Action against you as deemed appropriate by law enforcement authorities will be fully supported by Julian Murray together with action against you to recover all costs incurred by Julian Murray in pursuit of exercises undertaken to recover that which owed to us for providing the service to you.

1.8 Courtesy Transfer Service

Julian Murray can perform all account transfers, account moves and any other service which involves Julian Murray copying files of yours from a third party service to your service, hereafter known as a "transfer" as a courtesy service only. This is ONLY performed when the source sites are hosted on WHM/cPanel servers.

Julian Murray performs this service during off-peak times and during periods when our support team are not unduly busy.

By requesting Julian Murray to perform a transfer you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Julian Murray from any and all liability arising from the transfer and/or copying of your accounts.

Julian Murray makes no guarantees regarding the availability of our transfer service or the amount of time it takes to perform transfers.

Therefore, you agree to always ensure you or your clients keep you or their chosen software updated to the latest release.

Client agrees that Julian Murray''s failure at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this TOS or AUP or any right or remedy available hereunder, or at law or equity, or to exercise any option herein provided, shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provisions, rights, remedies, or options or in any way to affect the validity of this TOS or AUP.

\r\n

Unsolicited Email (Further to our No Spam Policy as detailed in T.O.S.)

Users are prohibited from engaging in improper use or distribution of email. Julian Murray will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. This includes, but is not limited to:

Service Performance & Over Usage Abuse

You will have available to each of your hosting accounts substantial amounts CPU and RAM resources, well above that if your account was being hosted within a VPS. However, for the protection of our network and other reseller clients the following consumption over usage limits apply:

• If any one single website hosting account within your Advanced Premium reseller account consumes in excess of 5% of the total CPU power of the main server for a non-stop excessively long length of time it will be considered resource abusive.

Website Creation Software

Third party website creation software allows the generation and install of complete websites within a single hosting account - a popular CMS and e-commerce site creation technique. These websites are usually purposely created to be seen as individual websites. Domain name forwarders and/or redirectors that point to a specific directory location of a single hosting account can be used to further ensure multiple sites are viewed as individual websites. Therefore it is possible for a single hosting account to be hosting a great number of individual websites.

You agree that when this occurs within a Julian Murray Advanced Premium reseller account, each individual website will be considered as an individual website and will be taken into account as part of your hosted website/domain limit of your particular Advanced Premium reseller account.
