5.2 No Other Warranty. Search Engine Partner does not monitor or exercise control over the content of the information transmitted through its facilities. Use of the Services or any information that may be obtained there from is at Client's own risk. The Services are provided on an “as is” basis, and Client's use of the Services is at its own risk.

5.3 Disclaimer of Actions Caused by and/or Under the Control of Third Parties. Search Engine Partner does not and cannot control the flow of information to or from Search Engine Partner's network and other portions of the Internet. Such flow depends in large part on the performance of the Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. At times, actions or inactions of such third parties may impair or disrupt Client's connections to the Internet (or portions thereof). Search Engine Partner cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, Search Engine Partner disclaims any and all liability resulting from or related to such events.

6. INDEMNIFICATION

Client agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Search Engine Partner and its affiliates, agents, employees, and licensors (including the third party service providers) harmless from any and all claim, demand, loss, costs or expense, including attorneys' fees, made by any person arising out of Client's violation of this Agreement, State or Federal Securities laws or regulations, or any other person's rights including but not limited to infringement of any copyright or violation of any proprietary or privacy right.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to a negligent act, will Search Engine Partner or its affiliates, agents, employees, or licensors (including third party service providers) be liable for any damages of any kind that result from the use of, or the inability to use, Services, even if any such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will Search Engine Partner or its third party service providers be liable to Client or any third Party for any tort, contract or any other liability arising in connection with the use of the Services, or reliance on any information or services provided by Search Engine Partner. Search Engine Partner and its third party service providers will under no circumstances be liable to Client and/or any third party, regardless of the form of action, for any loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, or any direct, indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages whatsoever, even if Search Engine Partner or its third party service providers has been advised of the possibility of such damages, resulting from: (i) the use of the inability to use the Services; (ii) the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery, or failure to store any user date, communications or personalization settings; (iii) the cost of getting substitute goods and services resulting from any products, data, information or services purchases or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into, through or from the Services; (iv) statements or conduct of anyone on the Services; (vi) the use, inability to use, unauthorized use, performance or non-performance of any third party, even if the third party has been advised previously of the possibility of such damages; or (vii) any other matter relating to the Services. Client agrees that Client will not in any way hold Search Engine Partner responsible for any selection or retention of, or the acts or omissions of, third parties (including third party service providers) in connection with the Client Services.

Because some states prohibit the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states the limitation of liability only with respect to consequential or incidental damages may not apply to Client, and the respective liability of Search Engine Partner and its third party service providers, employees, distributors and agents is limited to the greatest extent allowable under applicable law in those states.

In the event that a court or arbitration panel, as the case may be, should hold that the limitations of liability or remedies available as set forth in this Agreement, or any portions thereof, are unenforceable for any reason, or that any of Client's remedies under this Agreement fail, then Client expressly agrees that under no circumstances will the total, aggregate liability of Search Engine Partner and its third party service providers, employees, distributors, agents or affiliates, to Client or any party claiming by or through Client for any cause whatsoever exceed $100 (U.S.), regardless of the form of action and whether in contract, statute, tort or otherwise.

Questions?

Any questions regarding this agreement should be sent to Search Engine Partner's sales department prior to signing up for service.

What are Resource Usage Policies?

In a shared hosting environment, a server's resources are what economists would call a common pool resource, meaning that although having plenty of available system resources benefits everyone, no single user has an incentive to ensure that they don't use too many resources themselves. In an effort to protect against the tragedy of the (server) commons, we have placed limits on the amount of a server's resources that any given user may consume. While these are limits, server abuse is not limited to these policies and is up to Search Engine Partner's discretion what constitutes server abuse. Please note that these resource policies are applicable towards shared, reseller, and semi-dedicated hosting services.

The Purpose of These Policies

Understand that these policies are in place to protect you, our customers, from poor service quality. Generally, if we need to impose a restriction on an account for resource abuse, that account is in violation of at least two of these policies (or one policy to a very serious degree) and is adversely affecting the other clients on their server. The large, large majority of sites, at least 99.5%, will never even have to take these limits into consideration. That being said, it's good to make yourself aware of them.

Enforcement

It is also important to note that many of these limits can be seen as "soft" limits. They are not actively enforced, and you can run up to or even over most of them without issue. If, however, you start to affect the overall performance of a server, we do need to have limits and policies in place. Without them it's incredibly hard to explain to the customer, in quantitative terms, exactly how a site is consuming too many system resources. If an account is found to be in violation of these Resource Usage Policies, we will do our best to work with clients to give 48 hours, 5 days, or 10 days notice depending on the severity of the violation. We reserve the right as outlined in these terms to suspend a site if it is causing a severe problem.

The Policies

The use of GetUpdated, Inc. d/b/a Search Engine Partner servers and networks to transmit unsolicited bulk/commercial email (also know as spam) is strictly forbidden. Under no circumstance is the transmission of spam acceptable or tolerated.

Processes invoked by the web server, cron, shell or any other method should not exceed the following limitations:

• Consume more than 16 MB of RAM.
• Utilize in excess of 15 seconds of CPU time.
• Number of open files should not exceed 64.
• Create core dumps.
• Number of simultaneous processes should not exceed 5.
• Execute a script/binary that forks in a way to create a fork bomb.
• Programs may not run in the background or listen on a network port. If you require a bot, service or daemon, you should consider a dedicated server, as very few shared web hosts allow this type of program.

• All users are restricted to 15 concurrent MySQL connections.
• Each database is restricted to 2 GB of disk space.
• Database queries should not exceed 3,000 per hour.
• Database changes (insert/update/delete) should not exceed 1,000 queries per hour.
• Database servers should not be used as a hosted solution. Database access should only be used for the web site hosted by Search Engine Partner.
• Remote database access is for administrative purposes only.

• The total number of inodes in an account may not exceed 75,000. Every file (a webpage, image, email, php file, directory, etc.) on your account uses up one (1) inode. This is not something we actively enforce and it will only become an issue if a client is causing problems for other people on the server. We will of course notify you if this is the case with a full explanation.
• A directory can not contain more than 2,500 immediate child files. This includes subdirectories themselves, but does not include files contained within those directories.

• Simultaneous Apache connections may not exceed 50 from one individual source at any given time.
• Web processes should not fork or spawn subprocesses.

• Files in excess of 10 MB should not be sent via email.
• Processes should not send outbound mail to more than 25 recipients at any given time.
• The maximum number of members per mailing list is 1,500.
• POP connections are limited to 60 per hour.
• SMTP connections (outbound email connections) are limited to 500 per hour per server account.
• Mailing lists larger than 1,500 will require a semi dedicated, VPS, or dedicated server from us. Dividing one list into smaller parts to get around this limit is not allowed.
• Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed in off peak times such as Saturday and Sunday or from 1am to 8am ET during the week.
• Any mailing list must be throttled so that it sends an email every 6 seconds at the very minimum. If the mailing list software you are using doesn't support throttling you must use something else. We do this as this keeps the server load from going very high and causing problems for other users. If you don't do this you will be suspended.
• We do not allow you to send to a mailing list you were given or that you bought. This is spamming and we have zero tolerance for this.
• Any mailing list must comply with the rules set forth by the United States of America and can be found at: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/spam/.
• No Direct SMTP mailing system scripts are permitted. Mail should be relayed through the local MTA.

• All cron jobs must be'niced' to 15 or greater (see the Unix manpage for "nice" for more information).
• A cron job should not execute more frequently than once every 15 minutes.

• Our servers should not be used as an SSH bounce point to other servers/networks.
• You may not use the Unix "find" command recursively on directories more than 5 levels deep.

Failure To Comply With Policy

Failure to fully comply with these terms is grounds for account suspension and/or termination (with or without refund, subject to Search Engine Partner's discretion). All accounts and/or servers contained within Search Engine Partner's network must adhere to the above policies.

We reserve the right to remove any account without prior notice. If we terminate your account for violating policy, you will forfeit your rights to a refund--and none will be given. No refunds for advanced payment.
