Notices of infringement that do not comply with this act will not be processed. We will act in accordance with the DMCA when handling infringement reports.

System Resource Usage

If BWH’s system administration team determines that an account is utilizing an unacceptable amount of system resources, BWH may temporarily deactivate the account in question. If BWH’s staff deems necessary, an eviction notice may be sent to the customer of an offending account providing them with seven (7) days in which to either upgrade to a VPS or other hosting solution as recommended by BWH staff or locate a new provider. This only occurs in extreme cases; BWH will do all it can to assist customers prior to this scenario.

BWH will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Because of the nature of this provision, each account will be considered and analyzed individually.

Backups

BWH performs nightly backups of shared and reseller servers; however, these backups are for BWH’s administrative purposes only, and are in NO WAY GUARANTEED! Customers are responsible for maintaining their own backups on their own personal computers. BWH does not provide any sort of compensation for lost or incomplete data in the event that backups do not function properly (even if the malfunction was due to negligence on BWH’s part). We will do our best to ensure complete and accurate backups, but assume no responsibility for this duty. Always back your site up to your personal computer! We make no guarantees about the availability of backups.

Unsolicited Email (SPAM)

SPAMing, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a BWH server or using a return email address that is maintained on a BWH server is STRICTLY prohibited. Using SPAM to advertise a site hosted on BWH’s network also constitutes as a violation of this provision. BWH will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Sites found to be in violation of our SPAM policies will be immediately deactivated and no refund will be issued.

For anyone intentionally spamming on our systems, we reserve the right to bill them at rate of $90/hour for any cleanup, research, and related work from their illegal activities.

Help us STOP SPAM! Please email our abuse department immediately to report a violation of our SPAM policies.

Support Abuse

At BWH, we always treat our customers with the utmost respect. In return, we expect the same from you. If our staff feels that you are consistently addressing them in a demeaning or rude manner, your account may be suspended and you may be asked to take your business elsewhere. In the event that we terminate service for support abuse, customers will be given ten (10) days notice to find a new host. A pro-rated refund may be issued on a case-by-case basis.
