Excessive Resource User Policy

Resources are defined as bandwidth and/or processor utilization. A website is considered to be using "Excessive amounts of resources" when it monopolizes the resources available by using a majority of system resources for extended periods of time (longer than 30 seconds) or generates too many requests per hour. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, PHP, FTP, HTTP, etc. This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. We reserve the rights to suspend or terminate any hosting account that we feel is jeopardizing our network. Zephyr Web Hosting will be the sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this policy.

Client shall not use their Zephyr Web Hosting services for chain letters, junk mail, bulk-email, or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. Zephyr Web Hosting reserves the right to deactivate or terminate any account(s) upon any indication of such activity without notice.
