Unlimited Traffic

Nexus is pleased to offer our clients unlimited traffic/hits, and server usage. To maintain the integrity of our service the limitations by necessity apply to:

Multiple hosts resolving at a ip or domain name we provide
Sites with banners, graphics or cgi's running from their domain being used on other domains.
Sites with immense graphic archives or galleries.
Sites offering immense download archives, such as .zip, .tar, .ra and .GZ.
Sites using more than 20% of system resources

If you do not qualify for unlimited, traffic will go unmonitored until you reach your account limit, then normal data transfer costs of $1US/GigaByte will apply.

Nexus will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Chat Rooms

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as a account option.

Background running programs

We may allow programs to run continually in the background, these are considered on a one to one basis and a extra charge will be incured based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

Cron Jobs:

We do not allow Cron Jobs to be conducted on our servers without prior authorization.

IRC:

We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Commercial Advertising - Email:

Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a user domain, or using an email address that is maintained on a Nexus machine is STRICTLY prohibited. Nexus will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Server abuse:

Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a Nexus server or customer of Nexus is strictly prohibited. Nexus will pursue legal action to the fullest extent for all abuse of the Nexus Network.

Any Sub-Networks of Nexus and dedicated servers must adhere to the above policies.

Nexus will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. For general reference, we consider spam any email that is sent to more than 5 people at a time that did not ask for it to be sent to them.

If any terms or conditions are failed to be followed it will result in grounds for account deactivation.

We reserve the right to remove any account without prior notice.

If we deactivate your account for violating policy, your will forfeit your rights to a refund...and none will be given.

Nexusdoes not refund for advanced payment under breach of contract situations.

Our normal policy is a warning first, and account deactivation the second offense.

You may not use the Nexus Service to collect or "harvest" screen names of other Clients without the expressed prior permission of the Client. Nexus reserves the right to block or filter mass email solicitations on or through the Nexus Service.
Internet Conduct. Generally, the Internet consists of the following areas available through Nexus; Email, Newsgroups, Gopher, and WAIS FTP, and the World Wide Web. The Internet is not owned or operated by, or in any way affiliated with Nexus or any of its affiliates; it is a separate, independent network of computers and is not part of Nexus. Your use of the Internet is solely at your own risk. When using the Internet and all of its components, Clients must conduct themselves responsibly according to the Internet's own particular code of conduct. Participating successfully on the Internet is really a matter of common sense. Although Nexus does not control the Internet, your conduct on the Internet when using your Nexus account is subject to Nexus rules. Because Nexus wants to be a good Internet citizen, it prohibits Clients from engaging in certain conduct on the Internet through or by means of Nexus including the following: (1) Chain Letters. Chain letters are prohibited on Nexus and are inappropriate on the Internet. Posting a chain letter to an Internet newsgroup (or via email on the Internet) from your site may result in your Nexus Services site being terminated. (A) Commercial Communication. The vast majority of newsgroups and mailing lists on the Internet are not commercial in nature, and participants in such groups may object strongly to commercial postings, solicitations, or advertisements. (B) Other Inappropriate Posts. Each newsgroup and mailing list on the Internet focuses on a particular set of topics and posts not related to these topics are not welcomed by the participants. We suggest that all Clients become familiar with the guidelines, themes, and culture of the specific newsgroups and mailing lists in which they wish to participate. Posting or distributing inappropriate material on or from your site (i.e. spamming or mail bombing) may result in suspension or termination of your Nexus account. (C) Copyright and Proprietary Materials. You should be aware that much of the Content available on the Internet is protected by copyright, trademarks, trade secrets and other rights of the independent third parties or their licensers who make such content available on the Internet. Clients use of such Content will be subject to the specific restrictions place on such Content by the owners or licensors of the Rights in such Content and all applicable laws and regulations. Transmitting to the Internet or posting on your site copyright or other material of any kind which is subject to rights of any person or entity without the express permission of the right's holder is prohibited and will result in termination of your Nexus Service and possible civil and /or criminal liability. (D) Offensive or Objectionable Material. Nexus reserves the right to request you any material which Nexus deems offensive, hurtful, or otherwise objectionable. Failure to do so may result in blocking your site or termination of the Agreement by Nexus Services. You understand that except for content, products or services expressly available at Nexus' Web site, neither Nexus nor any of its affiliates controls, provides operates, or is responsible for any content, goods, or services available on the Internet. All such content, goods, and services are made accessible on the Internet by independent third parties and are not part of Nexus or controlled by Nexus. Nexus neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of such content, goods, or services available on the Internet, which are the sole responsibility of such independent third parties, and your use thereof is solely at your own risk. Neither Nexus nor its affiliates shall be held responsible or liable, directly, or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to have been caused by your use of or reliance on any content, goods or services available on the Internet or your inability to access the Internet or any site on the Internet. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply with equal force even where Nexus features or displays a link with any particular Web site. You should be aware that the Internet contains content, goods, and services that you may find obscene, improper, hurtful, or otherwise offensive and that may not be suitable for certain individuals or for minors who are accessing the Internet. Nexus does not have the capability or right to monitor, or review, or restrict any content, goods, or services made available by third parties on the Internet, nor to edit or remove any such questionable content after posting on the Internet. In addition, you should be aware that the Internet provides access to users who are not part of Nexus and whose conduct and communication may also be found harmful or offensive to clients or which would otherwise breach the Nexus rules if they were subject to it. Nexus and its affiliates specifically disclaim any responsibility for (and under no circumstances be liable for) any conduct, content, goods , and services available on or through the Internet (including without limitation any part of the Web).
