3. Server abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of ours is strictly prohibited.
4. Abuse of Traffic and / or Storage
The intention of our hosting plan is to provide a reasonable amount of space to serve web documents, not an offsite storage area for electronic files. All of your web pages (html) must be ‘linked’ with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on our server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of our management. To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply to such hosting plans:
• Sites with Banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domain
• Sites offering download files or archives. (This is any site where more than 50% of the monthly traffic is from file downloads)
Traffic and storage on our hosting server will typically go unmonitored. Once you reach 2GB per month of data transfer, extra data transfer costs may be billed to your account. Storage is typically limited to 5GB per site instance. Once you reach 5GB of total website storage, additional storage costs may be billed to your account.
We will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision, and will advise if your account is close to breaching those limits.
5. Data Backup
Partek DOES NOT maintain or manage any active backups of your website on a regular basis, unless you subscribe to our Management Plan.

Credit card information may be stored on file and can be auto-billed on the due date of the account. Email notification will be sent to you prior to your hosting renewal date.
7. Cancellation
We reserve the right to cancel service at any time. All fees paid in advance of cancellation will be pro-rated and paid by us if we institute our right of cancellation. Any violation of policies which results in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer, space etc.)
Partek does not offer refunds once the hosting contract term has begun. This policy does not apply to any additional services such as overages, additional disk space, etc. Due to security concerns, all account cancellations must be made electronically from a valid email account of the primary contact of the account, with the account name, reason for cancellation.
