Boost Hoster reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean up fee. This cost of the clean up fee is entirely at the discretion of Boost Hoster.
Unlimited Bandwidth, Disk Usage, Email and FTP accounts and other Unlimited Resoures.
Boost Hoster provides Users with bandwidth, disk space and other resources, such as e-mail, mysql databases, and/or file-transfer-protocol ("FTP") accounts, the amount of which is defined in Boost Hoster's web pages describing the package of Services purchased at the time of purchase. In some cases, Boost Hoster may not establish a specific amount of bandwidth, disk space and other resources, and refer to that as "Unlimited". In all cases, the Services are intended for normal use only, and any activity that results in excessive usage that is inconsistent with normal usage patterns is strictly prohibited. Boost Hoster reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of Users whose use of disk space, bandwidth or other resources results in or presents the risk of degradation of service to other customers, regardless of the amount of disk space, bandwidth or other resources included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage shall not exceed the amounts set by Boost Hoster for the Services purchased (the "Agreed Usage") and is additionally subject to normal usage guidelines established by Boost Hoster as in effect from time to time. These allotments are optimized and dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active electronic mail services related solely to User's web hosting account(s) with Boost Hoster.
Hosting space is intended for normal use only, and is limited to Web files, active e-mail and content of the hosted Web sites, not for storage (whether of media, e-mails, or other data). Hosting space further may not be used as offsite storage of electronic files, electronic mail or FTP hosts. You are responsible for removing any files, e-mails or other data which do not meet these requirements, and for adhering to any usage requirements or limits allocated to your account(s). Failure to do so may result in removal and deletion of such materials (including without limitation files and e-mails), and/or in discontinuation of your services or account, which actions we may take in our sole discretion.
Boost Hoster will monitor User's use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources. Boost Hoster, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to take any corrective action if User's utilization of bandwidth, disk usage or other resources exceeds the Agreed Usage, resource usage, or is used for other improper storage or usage. Such corrective action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance of any and all Services, removal or deletion of User's Web site, User Content, User's electronic mail and e-mail services and/or other materials and services or termination the User's account and of this Agreement, which actions may be taken in Boost Hoster's sole and absolute discretion.
Fee for Domains
Certain special promotional offers, regardless of the duration of the plan you choose (1 month, 6 months, 1 year), will be charged a one-time domain registration fee. In this case, the domain registration fee will be reflected on your order page as follows: "Domain Registration: [domain name]: One Time Fee."
Unlimited Domains
Unlimited domains refers to subdomains, parked domains and add-on domains. In all cases, the Services are intended for normal use only, and any activity that results in excessive usage that is inconsistent with normal usage patterns is strictly prohibited. Boost Hoster reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of Users whose use of unlimited subdomains, parked domains and add-on domains results in or presents the risk of degradation of service to other customers, regardless of the amount of domains included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage shall not exceed the amounts set by Boost Hoster for the Services purchased (the "Agreed Usage") and is additionally subject to normal usage guidelines established by Boost Hoster as in effect from time to time. These allotments are optimized and dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active electronic mail services related solely to User's web hosting account(s) with Boost Hoster.
If Boost Hoster takes any such corrective action under this section, User shall not be entitled to a refund or credit of any fees paid prior to such action. User will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail services, including use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources and will use such services and resources only for lawful purposes. User may not utilize: the Services to copy material from third parties (including text, graphics, music, videos or other copyrightable material) without proper authorization; the Services to misappropriate or infringe the patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights of any third party; the Services to traffic in illegal drugs, gambling, obscene materials or any other products or services that are prohibited under applicable law; the Services to export encryption software to points outside the United States in violation of applicable export control laws; the Services to forge or misrepresent message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message. If Boost Hoster learns or discovers that User is violating any law related to User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail services, use of bandwidth, disk usage or other resources or Agreed Usage, Boost Hoster may be obligated to or may in its discretion inform the necessary law enforcement and/or any related agency(ies) of such conduct and may provide such agency(ies) with information related to User, User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail.
User is responsible for complying with any usage requirements or limits for bandwidth, disk space or other resources, and monitoring such usage to ensure the Web site does not violate such requirements or exceed any such limits allocated for the account(s) and otherwise complies with this Agreement. Boost Hoster will use commercially reasonable efforts to e-mail Users who are at or near their utilization limits, but Boost Hoster does not take responsibility if e-mail notification(s) is not received by the User. Boost Hoster reserves the right to discontinue service through the beginning of the next month for your account in the event that it exceeds the any such allotment.
Resource Usage
User may not:
Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes
When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include("include.php")
While our shared services are suitable for the bulk of our customers, there comes a time for some websites when they are better suited for a larger plan, which allows for more dedicated CPU and memory resources. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a website or other hosted data that takes up more than 10% of the server resources and/or 10% of the server's CPU. This means that if your website is found to be utilizing more than 10% of the CPU and memory of the service, we reserve the right to take your site offline. If this becomes necessary, you can either upgrade your hosting package, or request a pro-rated refund of the amounts you have paid in advance for the services. Due to the severity of this, and our ability to act quickly to correct these situations to avoid server issues, we will do everything reasonably feasible to provide you with a warning prior to taking your site offline, but we accept no obligation to do so.
INODES
The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose "Mail", then "Default Address", "Set Default Address", and then type in: :fail: No such user here
When the Services Will be Available
We will attempt to provide the services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for as long as you have paid for them. Sometimes, however, for a number of reasons, the services may be unavailable to you. You must recognize and acknowledge that due to the nature of web hosting technology, occasional unavailability of the services cannot be avoided. Sometimes there are equipment malfunctions. At other times we undertake periodic maintenance procedures or repairs. Still other times, there are causes beyond our control like power failures, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network traffic and other occurrences. We have not promised to provide you with uninterrupted service.
Guarantee / Refund Policy
As we explain in this paragraph, we offer you a 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee on all shared hosting plans. And here is how our cancellation policy works. It is very simple. If you cancel your account we will provide you with a full refund for the remainder of your term, excluding any setup fees that were charged when you signed up, and excluding domain registration fees (including domain name privacy). (Even if you received your domain for free through one of our promotional plans.)
You will not receive a refund for the domain purchase charge.
The domain registration fee we incur on each domain registration (plus an optional domain name privacy fee charge) is for each year you sign up for. So all refunds are subject to the domain registration fee (plus the optional domain name privacy fee) registration fee for each year you signed up for, but you will own the domain name afterwards. The only way to cancel your account is by calling (888) 424-2788 or by emailing our billing team at support [at] BoostHoster.com )
If you cancel your hosting account and do not transfer your domain name to your own Enom account within seven (7) days, that domain name becomes the property of Boost Hoster.
Please note: Any account upgrades to hosting services such as additional domain registration, Priority Support, Boost Hoster Directory, Daily Backup, Dedicated IP, Domain Privacy, Private SSL certificates, Search Engine Submission, Platinum Upgrade, Site Transfer, Visitors 2 You and Shell Access are non-refundable. In addition, we do not offer refunds on dedicated server plans as they are month to month and there are no contracts involved. Boost Hoster also reserves the right to cancel your account with 72 hours notice should an event occur in which proper evidence exists that a customer has violated our terms.
Delivery / Shipping Policy
Boost Hoster products are virtual services and therefore we do not ship or deliver any physical products.
Joining Boost Hoster
When you sign up, your Boost Hoster account will be activated for the term you selected during signup. When it is time for renewal, we will send out renewal notices 60 days, 30 days, and 10 days prior to the exiration of your account. If you wish to renew your domain name and account, you will be able to contact us directly by following the details in our renewal email and we will continue to host your domain. If you fail to contact us, we will NOT renew your domain with the registrar and it will be released. Once released, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get your domain name again. Your hosting account will be deleted and any files remaining on our servers will be removed. If you wish to not have this happen, and you would like to renew your account, you must contact us at least 5 days prior to your renewal date, so that we can renew your domain and continue your service. If you have any questions as to when your renewal date is, simply login to https://www.YourDomainName.com/cpanel, or give us a call.
If more than 30 days pass from the date on which any invoice for the hosting services is issued to you and we have not received payment in full, we will suspend your account, which means that your data, files and website will become in-active and cannot be accessed. If in the following 30 days you pay all amounts due, bringing your account up to date, we will take your account out of suspension and the data will be available again immediately.
If, however, 30 days pass from the date on which your account is suspended and you have not made payment in full, Boost Hoster shall have the right to delete all data you have uploaded to the servers. To summarize, if you get 60 days behind in making payments, your data will be deleted. You hereby acknowledge that this is Boost Hoster's policy when it comes to data retention, and waive all rights in and to your data in these situations.
Boost Hoster sometimes provides Google Adword Coupons as part of our hosting packages. These coupons are available in GBP and USD and are only available to UK and USA citizens. The coupons can only be used as part of a brand new Adwords account or an account under 14 days old.
Boost Hoster may also provide Facebook & MySpace ad credits, these are available in USD only and are offered exclusively to citizens of USA. Credits are available to new Facebook and MySpace advertisers only.
Due to restraints by our domain registrar and the domain extensions we cannot fully manage domains with the TLD's .eu and .com.au in our registrar's account. We can host these domains, but only by pointing their nameservers to us through your existing registrar.
Invoices for renewals will be issued and charged up to 7 days in advance to ensure the we receive cleared funds for the continued hosting service and domain renewal.
Boost Hoster is unable to process orders placed using virtual/pre-paid/gift cards as we are unable to accurately verify them. In such cases it is advised that you pay through a PayPal account if you have no other valid credit card to make the payment from.
These Terms of Service May Change
Due to our evolving business, and the changing nature of the web hosting industry, these terms of service may change. We will post the changes here, and your continued use of the service means you accept the changes we have made.

Indemnification
If Boost Hoster is sued or threatened with a lawsuit from a third party because of something you do with the services, or as an affiliate you agree to pick up the tab if Boost Hoster is found liable or pays to settle the dispute. In legal terms, this is called "indemnification." Not only do you agree to reimburse Boost Hoster for what it pays to satisfy a judgment or settle a case, you also agree to pay Boost Hoster's reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs Boost Hoster incurs in defending itself.
Disclaimer of Warranties
You may have noticed that up to this point these terms of service have been kind of easy to read and understand. But our lawyers tell us that this section, dealing in the disclaimer of warranties, has to retain its legalese style. Sorry about that. Boost Hoster EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. Boost Hoster MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ITS SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. Boost Hoster DOES NOT WARRANT, NOR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE, OR RESULTS OF, ANY OF THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES, IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, in which event that foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
Here is another section that has to retain its legalese. Simply stated, what this section is saying is that if something goes wrong, Boost Hoster cannot be held liable for it. IN NO EVENT SHALL Boost Hoster BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFIT OR GOODWILL, FOR ANY MATTER, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS INCORPORATED AGREEMENTS AND POLICIES, YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, YOUR LOSS OF DATA OR FILES OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF Boost Hoster HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states may not allow such a broad exclusion or limitation on liability for damages as contained in these terms of services. In those states, our liability is limited to the full extent permitted by law. You agree that in no event shall our maximum aggregate liability exceed the total amount paid by you for the services in dispute purchased from us, or, in the event of liability of Boost Hoster due to your enrollment in the affiliate program,
Terms Applicable to Affiliates
If you become an affiliate of Boost Hoster, the following terms apply to you.
Our Affiliate Network
To participate as an affiliate, you are required to complete an affiliate application. The application will be evaluated, and we will notify you in a reasonable time whether your application has been accepted. At our discretion, we may decide for any reason that your site cannot participate in our network. If you are a U.S. resident, we will require that you provide us with your Social Security Number or Tax ID number. We do not require this information for international affiliates.
How it Works
We provide our affiliates with a unique tracking code. This code must be placed in the HTML of your website and when clicked on will direct visitors to your site to Boost Hoster or one of our other websites. If the visitor to your site places an order in the following 365 days from the same computer (cookie tracking) or the same Internet connection (ip tracking), our automated system will track the sale and automatically credit your account.
In order for automated tracking to be successful the visitor must have clicked on your tracking pixel, have cookies and JavaScript enabled in their browser, not clear cookies or switch Internet Service Providers before placing your order. If the automated tracking fails for any reason and you wish to earn commission for this referral you must contact Boost Hoster Affiliate Support at affiliates [at] BoostHoster.com. When you contact us, please include the domain name, full name, and e-mail address of the customer you referred plus your unique affiliate URL so we may locate your account. The date and time of the order would also be helpful. Whether or not you are able to provide this specific information there is no guarantee we will be able to issue a credit to your account. We will investigate any missed commissions to the best of our ability and if our investigation concludes in your favor then account credit (applicable to any Boost Hoster account) may be offered instead of the sum of $60 USD.
Commissions
Commissions will be paid to affiliates based on successful referrals. A successful referral, or sale, is defined as: a non-fraudulent, active for a period of thirty (30) days, not cancelled web hosting client who has paid for services in full and has been directed to us through your affiliate tracking link.
Because of the high frequency of credit card fraud and cancellation rates, we reserve the right to hold commissions for up to 60 days for verification. We also reserve the right to cancel commissions in the event that we are unable to collect funds, the order is fraudulent, the customer cancels within the first 30 days, or if we learn that the commission was earned improperly for any other reason. Affiliates are NOT permitted to offer coupon codes except those that are automatically entered on the Boost Hoster sign up page. If a coupon code is entered within an order of a referral then credit for the sale may not be issued.
There are two pay periods during every month. Pay periods are two weeks long. The first pay period is from the 1st of the month until the 15th. The second is from the 16th of the month to the last day of the month. Boost Hoster will process affiliate commissions for the past month period before this on these dates and issue payments. For example: On January 5th you earn $500 via the Boost Hoster Affiliate Programs. The commission becomes mature 30 days after we track it, or in this case on February 5th. The next pay date is February 16th, so on February 16th you would be paid for these referrals. This time frame allows us to evaluate every order and assess its validity. In the event we are unable to verify the order during this time frame, we may, at our sole discretion, hold your commission or cancel the order. Cancelled commissions cannot be reinstated.
Affiliate Support Services
Boost Hoster will provide reasonable support services to affiliates. Certain affiliates who have demonstrated a high level of volume will be assigned dedicated account managers. In most cases, affiliate managers are assigned based on the brand which you are promoting.
Term of the Agreement
The term of this affiliate agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate program application, and will end when terminated by either involved party. Either party may terminate the affiliate relationship, with or without cause, by giving written notice of termination to the other. Notice of termination must be delivered to us by sending an e-mail to affiliates [at] BoostHoster.com Once terminated, you will not be eligible to receive commissions for any future referrals.
Governing Law and Choice of Form
The laws of United States, the State of New Jersey will govern this Agreement, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state courts located in New Jersey. When These Terms Take Effect
This agreement becomes effective once you submit your order with us or open an account with us for web hosting services of any kind (dedicated, vps, shared, etc.). If you are an existing customer, and you do not agree with the terms herein, please cancel your account. Otherwise, if you sign up for or continue to use the services, you agree to what is written here. If you have any questions regarding these terms of service, feel free to call us for clarification.
By using Boost Hoster you agree to the above terms of service.
