Remedies and Action

Responsibility of avoiding the above harmful and/or unlawful activities rests solely on our Customer. We do not, and will not, monitor or investigate the website content or communications of our customers.

When we become aware of a violation of our AUP, we will respond in the manner we deem appropriate and according to our sole discretion. The type of action taken will depend in part on the legal risk and requirements, extent of the violation, as well as perceived breadth and severity of the harm to us or others.

We may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing or blocking access to material, shutting down a web site, blocking offending transmissions, requiring a monetary deposit as assurance against future behavior (i.e. "security deposit"), deleting the account such that all information is permanently and irretrievably removed from our servers, potentially without your knowledge or notice, or any other action we consider appropriate.

No credits or refunds will be issued for down time incurred or services paid for in advance if the account is suspended (i.e. "deactivated") or deleted due to what we perceive is a violation of this AUP, whether or not it is later proven that an actual AUP violation occurred.
