Existean.com
provides hardware support related to each direct client’s service
functioning. Existean.com does not offer software support of any
kind. Existean.com does not provide software
support/troubleshooting for the software items chosen from the
order form. Existean.com only ensures the correct default
installation of any software item chosen from the order form, and
in no way assumes liability for the configuration of any of the
installed software. Existean.com is not responsible for any
downtime associated with the incorrect configuration of operating
system kernels or any software, whether installed by Existean.com
or the client. Existean.com may provide enhanced software support
(including kernel configuration) for an additional fee. Please
contact sales or support for enhanced support pricing. Each client
is eligible for one (1) complimentary operating system (.OS.)
reload per billing cycle; each additional OS reload is $50 per
reload. Installation of an unsupported OS is subject to the prior
approval of Existean.com and to a $50 fee. Existean.com does not
provide any type of support to the clients of our clients (third
party clients). Existean.com will only provide support directly
to clients of Existean.com.
Existean.com reserves the right to deny mail delivery from any
servers hosted on our network if they are believed to be involved
in SPAM or SPIM activities. This includes spam support services
such as DNS or spamvertised web sites. Our abuse department will
locate abusive servers based on public blacklist monitors, abuse
reporting from external networks, and other means. If our abuse
department receives a report or otherwise becomes aware of
abuse-related activities active on our network, we will identify
the server the abuse was initially sent from (via IP and in some
cases by domain) and create a ticket on behalf of the user who
occupies the server with information regarding the abuse such as
logs describing the abuse and an explanation of what abuse took
place.
The following actions will be taken on a case-by-case
basis:
An abuse ticket serves as notification that our abuse
department has received reports of abuse originating from the
server. We require a client response to ALL abuse tickets within
48 hours of the ticket being opened. Typically no service will be
suspended or filtered within the first 48 hours of an abuse ticket
being opened. If a response is not received within 48 hours, or
the server is determined to be abusive (or likely to be abusive in
the case of spam blacklistings) after the ticket is opened, our
abuse technicians may filter or disable ports or IPs assigned to
the server temporarily to prevent further abuse until a response
is received.
If a response has not been received to an abuse
ticket within 7 days of being opened, the server is eligible for
suspension and may be completely disabled until we receive a
response.
Habitual neglect of abuse occurring on a client’s server
may lead to service termination or longer-term port filters as
some blacklistings can take several weeks to time out or be
removed.
Existean.com reserves the right to refuse services to
any client whose account(s) have been fined or terminated for
abuse-related activities. If an IP range or IP address has been
blacklisted as a result of excessive abuse reports, Existean.com
reserves the right to issue a fine of $200 and immediately
terminate the service.
Compromised servers issued abuse
notifications: If our abuse department suspects that abuse reports
associated with a client’s server are a result of the server’s
security being compromised, our abuse department will offer the
following options:
At the discretion of our abuse department, we
will typically offer the ability to log in to the server and
remedy the security compromise while leaving the abusive traffic
filtered.
Offer an Operating System reinstallation, setting the
configuration back to the original state it was provisioned in.
If
Operating System reinstallation is not accepted as an option,
Existean.com may offer to manually retrieve/repair the files on
the server, at a fee to be assessed and paid prior to any work
being done.
Habitual security compromises that result in abusive
traffic being transmitted or received from the server may result
in service termination.
If a client wishes to dispute any abuse
reports, or any fine assessed in connection with abuse reports or
blacklistings, the client must provide Existean.com with an
explanation via Existean.com’s ticketing system within 10 days of
the abuse ticket being opened.
Existean.com
handles any and all Digital Millennium Copyright Act (.DMCA.)
complaints very seriously, and will thoroughly investigate each
complaint received. Existean.com reserves the right to pursue
civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of
a substantiated policy violation.
The following actions will be
taken on a case-by-case basis:
A ticket is opened as a warning,
providing 48 hours to resolve the situation.
After 72 hours with
no resolution, services on the server in question will be
suspended.
After 7 days of being suspended and the issue not
having been resolved, services on the server in question will be
canceled and an Abuse Charge of $200 will be placed on the
account. All client data will be destroyed immediately after the
cancellation date.
Users who violate this policy and fail to
resolve the situation within 48 hours agree that in addition to
these administrative penalties, they will pay .Research Fees’ not
to exceed $50 per hour that Existean.com personnel must spend to
investigate the matter, to be charged only if claims are found to
be valid.
Clients agree to pay any and
all bandwidth overage charges accrued on their account from the
previous billing cycle. Bandwidth overage charges are billed per
gigabyte at a rate of $0.05 (five cents) over the allotted
bandwidth on the service. Existean.com reserves the right to
suspend any account which does not pay bandwidth overage charges
within 15 days. Existean.com is not responsible for spikes in
bandwidth that are caused on a client’s service for any reason.
Client assumes liability for all bandwidth to and from their
services. If issued an expected to exceed bandwidth notification,
clients are required to make payment arrangements within 24 hours
of that notification to prevent possible service interruption
until adequate arrangements are made. These arrangements may
include being required to pro-actively upgrade bandwidth.
Existean.com provides many high transfer allocation
limits as well as unmetered connections. Accounts with servers
that are found to be abusing the network with acts including, but
not limited to: reflection and other flood attacks, 90% port
saturation in one or both directions over extended time periods,
or traffic found to be interfering with other services, will find
their port speed initially restricted while an investigation is
completed. Results of the investigation will include any of the
following: future mitigations put in place, service suspension, or
service termination depending on severity and user history.
Clients agree to submit to identity
verification measures, designed for both the security of the
client as well as the security of Existean.com. The identity
verification measures may include the email of two forms of
government issued identification to Existean.com, as well as a
front and back copy of the credit card used for payment, as well
as a copy of a utility bill with the billing address. In certain
circumstances additional identity verification may be required, in
addition to the previously listed forms.

reserves the right to use client quotes for promotional uses. Such
quotes will be anonymous unless the client agrees to disclosure of
