Copyright Violations
WHS will respond to all reports of infringement that are formatted in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and any other applicable copyright laws. 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 WHS's system administration team determines that a customer's account is utilizing an unacceptable amount of system resources, WHS may temporarily deactivate the account in question. If WHS's staff deems necessary, an eviction notice may be sent to the customer of an offending account providing them with ten (10) days in which to either upgrade to a premium server or locate a new provider. This only occurs in extreme cases.
WHS 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.

Domain Parking Circumvention
Any attempt to circumvent domain parking restrictions by using selective HTTP redirects or any other method to send traffic from parked domains to sites other than the main site is strictly prohibited. If multiple domain names with separate content are required, domain pointers must be used instead.

Background Running Programs (bots/daemons/monitors)
Customers are not permitted to run programs in the background on shared hosting servers. This tends to use a lot of system resources, and can impair service to other customers on that server.

Money Back Guarantee
We give you a 30 day Money Back Guarantee, if you are not fully satisfied, open a support ticket.

Support Abuse
At WHS, 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. We will not issue a refund for service.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
We do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers. Any account found to be in violation of this provision will be immediately suspended and/or deactivated and no refund will be issued.

Shell Access
Shell access is not provided due to security issues.

Unsolicited Email (SPAM)
SPAMing, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a WHS server or using a return email address that is maintained on a WHS server is STRICTLY prohibited. Using SPAM to advertise a site hosted on WHS network also constitutes as a violation of this provision. WHS 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.
Help us STOP SPAM! Please email our abuse department immediately to report a violation of our SPAM policies.

WHS will turn all available information about abuse incidents, including customer contact data, over to the proper authorities and press charges.

Failure to Follow Policies
Failure to fully comply with these terms is grounds for account suspension and/or deactivation (with or without refund, subject to WHS discretion). Any accounts and/or servers contained within WHS network must adhere to the above policies.
We reserve the right to remove any account without prior notice. If we deactivate your account for violating policy, you will forfeit your rights to a refund--and none will be given.
