Additional fees, specified in the hosting plans, will be charged for exceeding the disk space. Disk space measurement includes all customer content and generated content from their web site and includes but is not limited to MySQL data, Mailing List data and data in /home/user directories for virtual accounts. Zettahosting is not responsible for measurements provided by individual control panel software, which is 3rd party software not controlled by Zettahosting, which may or may not include all of the customer data in their measurements.

a)All accounts must have valid, working websites, and not violate any previously subscribed terms.
b)Accounts are not for use of mass storage of backups, files, audio, video, zip files, or similar.

Virtual Private Servers and Dedicated Servers: The Disk Drive and/or Disk Space Quota for these accounts is hard quota based and clients have full access and rights to the disk space. Available disk space for the Client excludes the space required for the Operating System, Control Panel and other Services that come with the server set up which is selected by the client. Client has full control of all disk space for these accounts and may remove, delete and/or alter the installed files and configurations. However, removing, altering or deleting the files and base configurations installed by Zettahosting and/or in the case of the Control Panels, is not part of the 3rd party software released packages, patches, fixes and or upgrades, places all software support for that account/server into a fee based category. Refer to our Support Policy for details regarding free versus fee based support.
Bandwidth
Virtual Private Server (VPS), Dedicated and Colocation Accounts are limited only to port speed. Default port setting is 1 Meg. Additional fees, specified in the account plan will be charged for exceeding the network bandwidth allowance of your selected plan/server.
Licensed Software Only
Client agrees to use only properly licensed third party software in connection with Client’s use of the services.
Back-up Files and Processing
Virtual/Shared Hosting Clients will have the ability to reinstate files which are automatically archived by Zettahosting upon request for a minimal fee; however, Zettahosting does not guarantee the existence, accuracy, or regularity of its backup services, and therefore, Client is responsible for making back-up files in connection with its use of the services. The accuracy and quality of backup processes provided by 3rd party software, such as the individual 3rd party control panels, is not guaranteed by Zettahosting.
On Dedicated Servers with the on-board backup option, they are paying for the additional disk drive only. Zettahosting will provide and install the backup script for our clients upon request, but the running of cron jobs and services is the responsibility of the server owner. The backup script can be set up to generate a daily email with results to assist Client in monitoring. For mission critical data, Zettahosting highly recommends higher quality off-server backup services than what an on-board backup drive can provide. Doing periodic local backups is also highly recommended and prudent business practice.
Termination
Zettahosting reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Zettahosting, in its sole discretion, may immediately terminate this Agreement if Client engages in any of the foregoing. To report any unacceptable behavior by a third party using the services, please contact abuse@zettahosting.com.
Payment Obligations
Service Fees.
By the Tenth (10th) of each month, Zettahosting shall either (i) debit Client’s credit card (where such information is provided by Client) or (ii) deliver by e-mail an invoice to Client in accordance with the applicable Services fees for services rendered for the current month. Where an invoice is delivered to Client, Client shall remit payment to Zettahosting by no later than 7 days after the specified payment due date. Zettahosting shall be entitled to immediately terminate this Agreement for Client’s failure to make timely payments to Zettahosting. Certain services carry a set-up fee charged by Zettahosting to Client that must be paid by Client in order to have use of the Services. If Client terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 4 hereunder, Client shall be responsible for any outstanding fees owed to Zettahosting and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by Client. Because the Services are provided on a monthly basis, unless a contract is in place, Client will be responsible for Service fees incurred each month regardless of when Client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if Client provides notice to terminate on the 15th of a particular month, Client will still owe fees for the entire month and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded. If Client has retained the Services for one (1) year and has pre-paid Zettahosting for such Services, only 70% refunds will be issued for any unused full month month portions less one month of the Services upon Clients request. Therefore, if Client’s account is canceled at any point during the one (1) year term, Client will be entitled to a refund for all but one of the full months remaining after notice given by the 25th of the preceding month.
Late Payments.
Any payment not received within twenty (20) days of the invoice date, will be assessed a late fee of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, with minimum of a USD $5.00 fee. Customer also shall pay to Zettahosting all expenses incurred by Zettahosting in exercising any of its rights under this Agreement or applicable law with respect to a Payment Default or other breach by Customer, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees of any collection agency retained by Zettahosting. Late Fees will continue to accrue as long as there is an outstanding balance.
Returned Item Fee.
Accounts with returned checks and/or e-checks will be assessed a USD $15.00 returned item fee.
Taxes.
Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, any taxes and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction and/or the delivery of Services.
Domain Names.
If Client chooses to register a domain name(s) through Zettahosting, Client acknowledges and agrees that Client will pay a registration fee(s) to register the domain name(s) with the applicable domain name registrar. Zettahosting does not offer refunds for domain name registrations for any reason, including misspelling of the domain name.
Client Liability and Indemnification
The parties agree that in no event shall Zettahosting be liable to any third party for Client’s breach or alleged breach of any of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Zettahosting from any and all expenses, losses, liabilities, damages or third party claims resulting from Client’s breach or alleged breach of any Client obligations set forth hereunder.
Term, Termination & Reinstatement
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Agreement shall be effective on the date you register for the Services, and shall continue in effect on a month-to-month basis unless otherwise specified by separate agreement (the "Term") unless terminated earlier pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4. Either party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other party. If Client is terminating this Agreement, Client must follow instructions for cancellation provided on the Server Cancellation Information page. All cancellation requests must be received by the 25th of the respective month of cancellation. Any other attempt by Client to cancel this Agreement by written or e-mail notice shall be void. Sections 3 - 8 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
If Zettahosting suspends a virtual account for non-payment, Client shall be allowed to re-instate Client’s use of the Services within Five (5) business days of cancellation upon approval from Zettahosting and full payment of balances due. A reinstatement fee of $15.00 will be applied.
If Zettahosting disconnects a Dedicated Server or Colocation server for non-payment, the Client shall pay a fee of Fifty Dollars ($50) prior to any re-instatement of Client’s server. Once payment has been received, Client’s account will be activated within Forty-eight (48) business hours. Zettahosting will maintain an archival copy of Client’s data files for (5) days after Zettahosting disconnects the server.
If a Client terminates their account, Zettahosting will disable the server/account the day the client specifies the account is canceled. Zettahosting will not maintain an archival copy of the Clients Web site or files. It is the responsibility of the Client to remove any data off the server prior to the date provided in their cancellation notice.
