SERVICES AGREEMENT

TERMS OF SERVICE

BanPro NET agrees to provide services to the Customer subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service) & AUP (Acceptable Usage Policy). BanPro NET reserves the right to change this TOS & AUP at any time without notice to the Customer.

Payments and Fees:
Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by BanPro NET of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the account billing cycle for service.

Failure to Pay: BanPro NET may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges. Service may be interrupted on accounts that reach 7 days past due.

Cancellations: The customer may choose to cancel at anytime. To cancel your account send a ticket to the Sales Department. All cancellations within the first 2 months of service will be subject to a fee of $12.95 for domain name registration if that domain name was registered by BanPro NET for you upon signup at no cost.

New Virtual Hosting Accounts: All new virtual hosting accounts will be setup within 1 business day.

SPAM: BanPro NET takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of spam email using BanPro NET's servers. Very simply this means that customers of BanPro NET may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in spam emails. Customers of BanPro NET may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by spam from other networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service.

As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients, while using BanPro NET servers it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.

Bandwidth and Disk Usage:
Customer agrees that bandwidth and disk usage shall not exceed the number of megabytes per month for the Services ordered by Customer. BanPro NET will monitor Customer's bandwidth and disk usage. Each extra gigabyte of bandwidth exceeding the limit will be billed at $2.50 per gigabyte. Customer will be billed $3.00 for each extra 100 MB space exceeding the limit. Over-usage fees will be billed at the end of the month. Failure to pay will result in account suspension.

System and Network Security: Users are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of any network. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. BanPro NET will investigate occurrences, which may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who are involved in such violations. These violations include, without limitation:

Accessing data not intended for such User or logging into a server or account, which such User is not authorized to access.

Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization.

Attempting to interfere with service to any user, host or network, including, without limitation, via means of overloading, "flooding", "mail bombing" or "crashing".

Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or newsgroup posting.

Taking any action in order to obtain services to which such User is not entitled.

Notification of Violation: BanPro NET is under no duty to look at each customer's or user's activities to determine if a violation of the AUP has occurred, nor do we assume any responsibility through our AUP to monitor or police Internet-related activities.

First violation: Any User, which BanPro NET determines to have violated any element of this AUP, shall receive an email warning them of the violation. The service may be subject at BanPro NET's discretion to a temporary suspension pending a User's agreement in writing, to refrain from any further violations.

Second Violation: Users that BanPro NET determines to have committed a second violation of any element of this Acceptable Use Policy shall be subject to immediate suspension or termination of service without further notice.

Suspension of Service or Cancellation: BanPro NET reserves the right to suspend access to any customer if in the judgment of the BanPro NET system administrators the customer's account or server is the source or target of the violation of any of the other terms of the AUP or for any other reason which BanPro NET chooses. If inappropriate activity is detected, all accounts of the Customer in question will be deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior notification to the Customer is not assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement will be contacted regarding the activity. The customer will not be credited for the time the customer's accounts or servers were suspended.

BanPro NET reserves the right to amend its policies at any time. All Customers of BanPro NET must adhere to the above policies. Failure to follow any term or condition will be grounds for immediate cancellation. You will be held responsible for the actions of your clients in the matter described on these Terms and conditions. Therefore, it is in your best interest to implement a similar or stricter Terms and conditions or otherwise called Acceptable Terms of use policy.

Indemnification Policy: BanPro NET reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason not prohibited by law. We also reserve the right to terminate service to any customer for any reason not prohibited by law. You agree to use all BanPro NET services at your own risk. BanPro NET specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall BanPro NET be liable for any loss, or loss of data, or other commercial damage, including but not limited to special, incidental, consequential or other damages. Customer agrees that it shall defend, indemnify, save and hold BanPro NET harmless from any and all demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including reasonable attorney's fees asserted against BanPro NET, its agents, its customers, officers and employees, that may arise or result from any service provided or performed or agreed to be performed or any product sold by customer, it's agents, employees or assigns.

While BanPro NET is firmly committed to the principles of free speech, certain activities that may be damaging to the resources of both BanPro NET and the Internet cannot be permitted under the guise of free speech.

We prefer to advise customers of inappropriate behavior and any necessary corrective action, however, flagrant violations of the Acceptable Use Policy will result in immediate termination of service. Our failure to enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of our right to do so at any time.
