Hosterbox Inc. endeavors to provide the most reliable network infrastructure possible to its Customers. To Customers in good financial standing with Hosterbox Inc. we guarantee that our network is available 99.99% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. The network is defined as core network infrastructure excluding the hardware, services and software running on your server. Network downtime is measured from the moment the Customer notifies a Hosterbox Inc.’s support representative of a network failure to the time the Network responds to an external "ping" request. Notification of network failure must occur at the time of the outage and not after the fact. If network downtime exceeds .01% in a given month, the Customer will be credited 5% of their monthly hosting fee and an additional 5% for each additional 2 hours of downtime up to 50% of the Customer’s monthly hosting fee. Credits shall not be provided to the Customer if network downtime is the result of: a) scheduled maintenance b) circumstances beyond Hosterbox Inc.’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to: DDOS or other network attacks, upstream or 3rd party network outages, war, fire, flood, sabotage, labor disturbance, acts of government, acts of god or c) breaking this Agreement or Hosterbox Inc.’s Acceptable Use Policy.
The Customer agrees that it may be necessary for Hosterbox Inc. to temporarily suspend Services for technical reasons or to maintain the Hosterbox Inc.’s Network, the Equipment or any other facilities, the timing of which will be as determined by Hosterbox Inc. Such suspension of the Services will not be an interruption of the Hosterbox Inc. Services for the purpose of calculating network availability or the Customer’s entitlement to credit for network interruption.
Hosterbox Inc. may interrupt the Services at any time for any duration of time, without penalty or liability for any claim by the Customer, where necessary to prevent improper or unlawful use of Hosterbox Inc.’s Services or network. Solely at Hosterbox Inc.’s discretion, Customer will be notified or not notified via e-mail of any emergency service suspensions. Such suspension of Services will not be an interruption for the purpose of calculating network availability or the Customer’s entitlement to credit for network interruption.
A compromised or "hacked" server is a serious threat to our network. Hosterbox Inc., at its sole discretion, will take any and all measures to prevent a compromised server from doing additional damage to its own system and files or to the rest of the network.
If an Hosterbox Inc. System Administrator believes a server on our network is compromised, Hosterbox Inc. will first disconnect server from network and then contact Customer with evidence of "hacked" server.
If Customer believes their system may have been hacked, immediately report the situation to Hosterbox Inc.’s technical support. Hosterbox Inc. may implement additional monitoring of your system.
Hosterbox Inc. offers data backup services for your critical data files and Hosterbox Inc. makes every effort to ensure the reliability of this process. The Customer will hold Hosterbox Inc. without penalty or liability for any claim resulting from a failed backup and/or restore procedure due to technical issues regarding backups on live servers and the possibility of data corruption on backup and/or restores. Hosterbox Inc. cannot guarantee any data can be fully restored.
The Customer shall not display or make use of any trademark, logo, symbol, coined word(s), or any combination of logo, symbol, trademark and/or coined word(s) without the expressed written consent of Hosterbox Inc.
If Customer breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP/TOS) then Hosterbox Inc. may terminate this Agreement at any time and without prior notice.

If, despite the foregoing limitations, Hosterbox Inc. or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees or representatives should become liable to Customer or any other person in connection with this agreement for ANY REASON, then the maximum aggregate liability of Hosterbox Inc., its members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and representatives for all such things and to all such parties will be limited to the lesser of the actual amount of loss or damage suffered by the claimant or the amount payable by Customer to Hosterbox Inc. for one month of service under this Agreement.

Typically, however, these changes are rare and made only at the request of ARIN or an upstream provider. PLEASE NOTE: The allocation of IP addresses is restricted by the policies of ARIN. These policies dictate that name-based hosting MUST be used whenever possible. Hosterbox Inc. reserves the right to periodically review IP address usage and revoke authorization to use those IP addresses not being utilized or where name-based hosting could be used.
For the purposes of Datacenter, Network, Server Maintenance, Inventory and related activities, Hosterbox Inc.’s staff and management retain the right to administrative access to any and all Dedicated, Virtual Private and Shared Servers on their network.
