Acceptable Use Policy

As a provider of web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, DS Technologies. offers its customers (also known as subscribers), and their customers and users, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. DS Technologies. respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, DS Technologies. reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, DS Technologies. has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing DS Technologies.'s services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use ofDS Technologies .'s services after changes to the AUP are posted on DS Technologies.'s web site, www.Domainsatcost.com, will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.

One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that DS Technologies. cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because DS Technologies. cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, DS Technologies. cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.

When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that DS Technologies. does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over DS Technologies's network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and nonsubscribers of 4Domains, Inc., subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may harm DS Technologies.'s goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate DS Technologies. policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

    Spamming -- Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming") which includes but is not limited to email, message boards, and newsgroups. Spam is defined as any method of unsolicited advertisement, typically based on purchased email address lists. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward DS Technologies., but also because it can overload DS Technologies's network and disrupt service to DS Technologies . subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, DS Technologies. has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list.

    Intellectual Property Violations -- Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. DS Technologies. is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also DS Technologies.'s policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.

    Obscene Speech or Materials -- Using DS Technologies.'s network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material. DS Technologies . is required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through DS Technologies.'s network.

    Defamatory or Abusive Language -- Using DS Technologies.'s network as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.

    Forging of Headers -- Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

    Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks -- Accessing illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's system (often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

    Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities -- Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mailbombing, or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service, or equipment.

    Facilitating a Violation of this AUP -- Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mailbombing, denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.

    Export Control Violations -- Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.

    Other Illegal Activities -- Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, and pirating software.

    Other Activities -- Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that DS Technologies. determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber.DS Technologies . will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that they comply with DS Technologies. policy or applicable law. When DS Technologies. becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.

DS Technologies. also is aware that many of its subscribers are, themselves, providers of Internet services, and that information reaching DS Technologies facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third-party. DS Technologies. does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. DS Technologies. has the right to directly take action against a customer of a subscriber. Also, DS Technologies. may take action against the DS Technologies. subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may effect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, DS Technologies . anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with DS Technologies. in any corrective or preventive action that DS Technologies. deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of DS Technologies. policy.

DS Technologies. also is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, DS Technologies. urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. DS Technologies. cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over DS Technologies, Inc.'s facilities.

DS Technologies. will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its subscribers unless required to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. DS Technologies. may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, DS Technologies. may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or governmental request. DS Technologies. assumes no obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, DS Technologies. may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect DS Technologies and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.

.DS Technologies expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of on-line communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate DS Technologies. policy. Finally, DS Technologies. wishes to emphasize that in signing the service agreement, subscribers indemnify DS Technologies. for any violation of the service agreement, law, or DS Technologies. policy, that results in loss to DS Technologies. or the bringing of any claim against DS Technologies. by any third-party. This means that if DS Technologies. is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will pay any damages awarded against  DS Technologies., plus costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including DS Technologies . and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to our abuse team. DS Technologies. Reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate any existing or new customer for any reason.

This agreement, in its entirety, will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Florida, 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 Pasco County, Florida, and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such Courts.

Billing Terms of Service & Policies

1) What are the costs and when do they start?

Most Web Hosting and DNS services have an appropriate setup fee and recurring monthly charge associated with them. Recurring monthly charges vary according to the services contracted for and are fully calculated and disclosed before completing your order online. Activation and setup of your Web Hosting and DNS services begins upon receipt of the setup and the first month's service fee. You will be provided with login information shortly upon receipt of payment. The first invoice you receive, after, your account is setup will be for the second month's pro-rated charges to the end of that month. This pro-rate invoice is sent along with your server configuration information. See number 5 below for more information about your pro-rate invoice.

All future invoice payments after the pro-rate invoice are due in our offices on the first of the month. Prices are subject to changes in our costs, but are guaranteed through your paid billing period.

2) How can I pay for my services?

Accounts are paid by Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Wired Funds, Money Orders, PayPal, or Checks drawn on US Funds. All invoices are e-mailed monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (per your choice) at the beginning of the payment period. Invoices are sent via e-mail usually around the 20th of each month. Payments are due in our offices no later than their due date regardless of when the invoice is sent to you.

WHEN USING DEBIT CARDS, DS Technologies . WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SERVICE CHARGES INCURRED BY YOUR BANK FOR BILLING ERRORS MADE BY DS Technologies. Typical Credit Card charges can be easily reversed without any fees incurred by you the customer. In the case of using a debit card billing errors can lead to bank service fees for overdrawn accounts, etc.  DS Technologies cannot assume this risk when you choose to use this form of payment as the normal system available to make returns or correct billing errors is not available with debit cards, without potentially overdrawing your account.

3) How can I upgrade/downgrade my account?

This can be accomplished within the MyAccount management area located at:

https://manage.domainsatcost.com

The interface for account changes is located under "Invoices/Payments" and then "Recurring Services".

4) If I cancel my account do I get a refund and what is the cancellation procedure?

If you decide to cancel your DS Technologies account we must receive your cancellation notice 5 days before the end of your last month of service (90 day notice required for all dedicated servers) by either FAX (352) 437-4982 or online at:

https://manage.domainsatcost.com

CANCELLATIONS NOT RECEIVED 5 DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE MONTH ( (90 DAY NOTICE REQUIRED FOR ALL DEDICATED SERVERS) WILL BE SUBJECT TO NEXT MONTH'S FULL CHARGES. WE DO NOT REFUND ANY PORTION OF UNUSED SERVICES.

Please make note of your domain name, and reasons for ending service with . We are always trying to improve our services and we appreciate your input.

REMEMBER: If a customer wishes to cancel their service DS Technologies will do so on the last day of the billing period, subject to the 5 day notification REQUIREMENT (90 day notice required for all dedicated servers). There are NO EXCEPTIONS.

If the service is cancelled within the first 30 days because our product did not perform as stated on our web site, the entire first month's fee will be refunded (1) The 30 days is counted with day 1 being the first day the account was made available.

Our guarantee is to assure that our products will perform as stated on our web site or we will return your first month's product fee. If you pay on our annual pricing schedule and cancel within the first 30 days because we do not meet your expectations pursuant to our terms of service, we will refund 70% of the annual payment made. Setup, mapping, Domain Name Fee and any other miscellaneous fees are not refundable. Yearly accounts canceled after the initial 30 days ARE NOT REFUNDABLE. Yearly accounts canceled after the initial 30 days will remain active and accessible for the full term pursuant to DS Technologies Usage Policy above.

(1) Due to the technical overhead (both staffing and resources) of Dedicated Servers and Virtual Nameserver Products (vDNS) or any customized solutions we have developed for you on your behalf, neither the 10 day or 30 day money back guarantees, nor the annual return policy can be applied to these services.

5) What will happen if my payment is late for any invoice? (IMPORTANT)

Payment for all regular monthly invoices are due in our offices on the first of each month, REGARDLESS of when the invoice is sent to you. We allow a grace period until the 5th of each month. If payments are not posted to your account within 5 days of their due date, a $25 late fee will AUTOMATICALLY be assessed to your account.

Posted: Payment received in our offices and processed by our staff and applied to the account in question. This does not refer to the date a postal transmission is initiated (postmarked) or the date of an email. It is the date actual payment is applied to the account.

If payments are not received in our offices within 15 (5 for dedicated servers) days of their due date your account will be AUTOMATICALLY deactivated. There is a $50 reactivation fee, in addition to the $25 late fee.

If you choose not to reactivate your account you are still responsible for the 15 (90 for dedicated servers) days of service you received and any outstanding balance on account including the late fees.


For this reason, DS Technologies highly recommends that you consider automatic credit card billing to avoid late fees and deactivation; or placing a month's deposit on account with us so that your account is always current.

6) I got a "Pro-Rate" bill with my server configuration information, what is it?

Upon completion of your server setup, you will be e-mailed your server configuration information with the password and username to access your account. Included with this letter will be your Pro-Rate bill to cover your second partial month's service. From then on your account is due on the first of the month.

Below is an example of how pro-rates are calculated.

Brown.com started on January 15th, they paid a $75 setup fee and $100 for the first month. That means their account is paid until February 14th. To pay for the period from February 15th to the 28th they pay a fraction of a regular monthly payment (pro-rate bill). In our example for Brown.com there are 14 days from the 15th to the 28th of February, and 14 is half of 28. So their Pro-Rate bill is half, or 50% of their monthly fee or regular bill. This equates out to $50, because 50% of $100 is $50.

From then on, their account will be due on the first of each month for the regular monthly fee of $100, barring any upgrades, addons or any other changes in services.

7) Service Not Utilized

DS Technologies is proud to provide the necessary resources for access and Web hosting during the term of your contract. Non-use of your purchased services (regardless of technical association with the service) is not a valid basis for a return or credit to your account.

This includes, but is not limited to, implied cancellation by changing hosting providers. A service termination must be posted to the accounting team throught the MyAccount interface to end a service and avoid future billing.

Credits to an account can only be used for additional services, and are not available for refund.

8) Billing Discrepancies

While every effort is made to ensure your account is always billed correctly errors can occur and we stand behind our clients. If you notice a billing discrepancy please notify accounting immediately via:

After 60 days a billing transaction is not available for contest, so please review your invoices and notify us promptly of any charges you have a question about or feel may be in error.

9) Credit Card Charge-backs/Disputes

Upon receipt of a credit card dispute all related services on an account will be subject to immediate disable. In response to a disputed transaction our accounting team will prepare written documentation to explain the charge to the merchant bank in question. If you are able to cancel the dispute with the merchant bank prior to our written response back to the bank a $35 service fee will be applied to your account PRIOR to reactivation, payable by cashiers check, money order, or wired funds. If a dispute is not withdrawn prior to our written response back to the merchant bank in question the service fee will be $75 to cover the service fees, staff time, and handling costs we incur. In this case the $75 service fee must also be paid by cashiers check, money order, or wired funds. Once written confirmation of a dispute has been received there will be a 5-15 business day cooling off period before service is reactivated depending on the payment method selected to resolve the service fee, and any delays we experience verifying that payment.

 
Right to Refuse Service
DS Technologies reserves the right to refuse to conduct business with any individual, Company, Business, or Corporation at their sole discretion. Should DS Technologies choose to discontinue business relations with an existing customer a minimum of a 30 day written notice (via email electronic transmission) will be provided to the customer.

 

Use of Foul Language, inappropriate Gestures, Unprofessional Conduct
Use of foul language, cussing, inappropriate gestures, or any unprofessional conduct by a customer verbally or written to any member of DS Technologies management or staff will NOT be tolerated, and may result in immediate cancellation of all services.

b. Payment & Deadline. You must make payments by credit card or such other method as we may authorize or indicate in the Registration renewal form ("Renewal Form"). Should you fail to pay the fees by the due date specified, we have the right to cancel your Registration at our sole discretion. You agree that we will have no liability whatsoever with respect to any such cancellation. All fees, including, without limitation, Pre-Registration fees, are non-refundable, in whole or in part, even if your Registration is suspended, cancelled, or transferred prior to the end of your then current Registration term. All Domain Renewal fees are non-refundable. If your Domain is set to Auto Renew it will be renewed within 48 hours of the expiration date. Domain Renewal fees for Domains set to auto renew are non refundable. It is the Registrants sole responsibility to ensure that only domains they wish to have auto renew are set to auto renew. While it is our intention to always announce changes well in advance to our existing customers, we reserve the right to change fees, surcharges, and renewal fees, and to institute new fees at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion.

c. Actual Payment Required. Your requested Domain will not be registered, or pre-registered, unless we receives actual payment for the Registration or Pre-Registration fee, or at least reasonable assurance of payment of the Registration or Pre-Registration fee from some other entity (such reasonable assurance will be determined at our sole discretion). For Pre-Registration Services, Registration will not be granted to you if payment is not received.

d. Credit Card Charge Back. In the event of a charge back by a credit card company (or similar action by another payment provider approved by us), in connection with the payment of your Registration fee, you agree that the Registration will be transferred to us as the paying entity for that Registration to the Registry. You also agree that we reserve all rights regarding such Domains including, without limitation, the right to make the Domains available to other parties for purchase. We may reinstate your Registration at our sole discretion and, subject to receipt of the initial Registration or renewal fee and then current reinstatement fee.

e. Outstanding Fees/Charges. You are responsible for the full and prompt payment of any outstanding fees and/or charges, notwithstanding the termination or expiry of this Agreement for any reason.
 

3. DOMAIN OWNERSHIP

a. Ownership of Domain. You understand and acknowledge that the Registrant, whose name is on record, will have sole legal ownership of the Domain. It is your sole responsibility, and not that of our company in any way, to ensure that the proper Registrant name is recorded.

b. Domain Privacy. If you elect to use our Private Whois service in order to mitigate spam and protect your privacy and when the corresponding Registry allows domain privacy, you agree you are still the sole owner of the domain and we do not play the role of a proxy registrant. Furthermore you retain full control over your domain, including the option to update whois details at your own sole discretion. You also understand and agree we will not respond to any legal action against your domain as we are merely the domain Registrar and you will have to promptly and directly handle domain disputes. Our Private Whois service is immediately and without any filtering or human intervention forwarding all emails sent to the listed public whois contact to your chosen email addresses, as such you understand and accept we cannot be held responsible if you decide not to answer to email(s) you receive or if you omit to monitor your email inbox and/or spam box. Our domain privacy (Private Whois) public whois clearly states “PLEASE DO NOT SEND LETTERS - Contact the owner by email only” as such we will simply discard or reject all letters we may receive addressed to you, if you do not agree and/or if you wish to receive letters, DO NOT use our Private Whois service. For some TLD such as .eu, .fr and .uk the corresponding Registry forbids Domain Privacy (Private Whois) provided by a third party, however the corresponding Registry offers in general equivalent and/or similar privacy services you can configure either from our interface and/or from the Registry’s interface. It is your responsibility to refer to each Registry’s policy before you subscribe to our service(s) to make sure they match your needs and expectations.
 

4. CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT

You acknowledge that the practice of registering and administering Domains is constantly evolving; therefore, you agree that we may modify this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable agreement, as is necessary to comply with our agreement with ICANN, or any other entity or individual, as well as to adjust to changing circumstances. Your continued use of the Domain registered to you will constitute your acceptance of this Agreement with any new change. If you do not agree to any such change, you may request that your Registration be cancelled or transferred to a different Domain registrar. You agree that such cancellation or request for transfer will be your exclusive remedy if you do not wish to abide by any change to this Agreement, or any other related and/or applicable agreement.

You acknowledge that we, for any reason and in our sole discretion, may choose not to participate in a post-expiration renewal of a domain name and that we shall not be liable therefore.

You acknowledge and agree that expired domain name(s) may be made available to be registered or re-registered to any party at any time.

You agree that after expiration of the term of a domain name registration we may, for a period of thirty (30) days (the "Expiry Period"), either i) remove the domain name from the zone of the top-level-domain (meaning that the Domain will no longer resolve), or ii) direct the Domain to name-servers and IP address(es) of website(s) designated by us, including, without limitation, to IP address(es) which host a parking page or a commercial search engine that may display advertisements. If we exercises our rights under this provision, and if you do not contact us to pay for and renew the Domain prior to the end of the Expiry Period, you agree that you have abandoned the Domain and you relinquish any and all rights that you may have had to the Domain to us other than the rights that we provide to you in this agreement.

If we are named as the Registrant for the Domain after the Expiry Period, the ability to redeem the Domain will be available to you for a period of thirty (30) days (the "Registrar Redemption Period") for a redemption fee equaling that charged for Domains that have been deleted and available for redemption at the Registry. You agree that this service is functionally equivalent to ICANN's or a registry's redemption grace period, which may normally occur after deletion.
