Account Setup / Email on file
We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s)
have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email
address which is not @ the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we
need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your
responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or up to date at all times. If you have a
domain name registered with DTS-NET, it is your responsibility to ensure that the contact information
for your domain account and your actual domain name(s) is correct and up-to-date.
DTS-NET is not responsible for a lapsed registration due to outdated contact information being
associated with the domain. If you need to verify or change this information, you should contact our
sales team via email. Providing false contact information of any kind mayresult in the termination of
your account. In dedicated server purchases or high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide
government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. If you
fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.
Ownership
The e-mail which is utilized for payment on the account is designated as the authorized owner of the
account.
Transfers
Our transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are
provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability,
possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hostingcompany is configured
differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may
make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best,
but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.
The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the
30 day free period or over 50 GB data storage will incur a charge; please contact a member of the
transfers department with specific details to receive a price quote.

DTS-NET services, including all related equipment, networks and network devices are provided only
for authorized customer use.DTS-NET systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, including to
ensure that use is authorized, for management of the system, to facilitate protection against
unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability, and operational security.
During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied and used for authorized
purposes. Use of DTS-NET system(s) constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes.
Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third
party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be
with expressed written consent from the third party. DTS-NET may, at its discretion, request and
require documentation to prove access to a third party network or system is authorized. We reserve
the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgement, is obscene, threatening,
illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise
disabled), with or without notice. Failure to respond to email from our abuse department within 48
hours may result in the suspension or termination of your services. All abuse issues must be dealt
with via trouble ticket/email and will have a response within 48 hours.Sites hosted on DTS-NET’s
service(s) are regulated only by U.S. law. Given this fact, and pursuant to Section 230(c) of the
Communications Decency Act, we do not remove allegedly defamatory material from domains hosted
on our service(s). The only exception to this rule is if the material has been found to be defamatory
by a court, as evidenced by a court order. DTS-NET is not in a
position to investigate and validate or invalidate the veracity of individual defamation claims, which is
why we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is indeed
considered defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates material is defamatory, libelous,
or slanderous in nature; we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a US
Court has placed an injunction against specified content or material; we will comply and remove or
disable access to the material in question. The language of Section 230(c) of the Communications
Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services providers like DTS-NETand many of
DTS-NET’s other webhosting services and brands are republishers and not the publisher of content.
Our service merely provides a hosting platform and space on which to host content, and any creation
or publication of content on our services is the sole responsibility of the third-party user which creates
or publishes the content. Therefore, DTS-NET should not be held liable for any allegedly defamatory,
offensive or harassing content published on sites hosted under DTS-NET’s webhosting service(s).

restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their
account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name and password. It is
required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be
suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent
weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be
weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.
Zero Tolerance Spam Policy
We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. Any
user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice. DTS-NET web
site hosting mail policy for Shared & Reseller Plans our generalized mail policy no more than 499
emails can be sent out per hour per domain name. If you need to send out more than 499 you will
need to go with our Dedicated or VPS or Colocation Server Plans. Dedicated or VPS or Colocation
Server Plans mail policy The list must be a Double Opt-In list. This means a user has subscribed for
a newsletter or other email marketing messages by explicitly requesting it and confirming the email
address to be their own. Confirmationis usually done by responding to a notification/confirmation
email sent to the email address the end user specified. The double opt-in method eliminates the
chance of abuse where somebody submits someone else’s email address without their knowledge
and against their will. You will not be permitted to mail any mailing list that you were given or
purchased. In doing so, this will also be considered spamming and may result in termination of the
offending account. 2. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in suspension or termination of the
offending account. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail and other
forms of spam. 3. Any mailing list MUST comply with all guidelines set forth by the United States

terminated. DTS-NET reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any web site,

time period during which such services are provided. Subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, all payments will apply to the oldest invoice(s) in your billing account. You agree that
until and unless you notify DTS-NET of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those
services will be billed on a recurring basis. Cancellations must be done in writing via the cancellation

submitting your cancellation, please contact us immediately via ticket. We require that cancellations
of service are done through the online form to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing you are
prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process reduces the
likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and ensures you are aware that the files, emails

traffic as User can legitimately acquire. However, DTS-NET reserves the right to limit processor time,
bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting
other Users.
Shared
Our shared hosting product is not a replacement for a CDN (ie: streaming video/files off site, storage
of large files or large quantities of seldomly used data/images). If you are found hosting files that use
a larger portion of storage and/or bandwidth than what is considered typical for a shared hosting
environment, we may ask you to reduce your usage or upgrade to a virtual server. Excessive
bandwidth usage due to website abuse or bruteforce attacks may result in suspension of services.
