IMPORTANT NOTICE: All Payments to Server Mania are Non-Refundable
Server Mania Inc. ("Server Mania", "The Company") agrees to furnish services to the Subscriber, subject to the following TOS (Terms of Service).
Use of Server Mania Services constitutes acceptance and agreement to Server Mania's AUP (Authorized Usage Policy) as well as Server Mania's TOS (Terms of Service).
All provisions of this contract are subject to the TOS and AUP of Server Mania. The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.
This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the province of Ontario and Canada.
Disclosure to Law Enforcement: The AUP specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company may disclose any and all subscriber information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc. to Canadian law enforcement agents without consent or notification to the Subscriber. Server Mania will not disclose subscriber information to third-party or international agencies unless a Canadian court order is obtained. In addition, Server Mania shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement.
Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers.
Establishment of this service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month's service. All accounts and services provided by Server Mania are subject to the current tax rate as imposed by the province of Ontario and Canada.
Service will be suspended on accounts that reach 5 days past due and a 10% late fee will be added to the outstanding balance.
Once a bill is 2 days overdue, service will enter into a 'suspended state'. In the 'suspended state' client data will not be in jeopardy. Services will be terminated on accounts that reach 10 days past due. Once a Cloud or VPS service enters the 'terminated state', data will be lost as the entire virtual instance gets automatically deleted. Dedicated servers entering into a ‘terminated state’ are in high-risk of data being lost (example: in the event of a server being re-provisioned)
All payments to Server Mania are non-refundable. This includes the one time setup fee and subsequent charges regardless of usage. All overcharges or billing disputes must be reported within 30 days of the time the dispute occurred. If you dispute a charge to your credit card issuer that, in The Company's sole discretion is a valid charge under the provisions of the TOS and/or AUP, you agree to pay Server Mania an "Administrative Fee" of no less than $100.
The Company may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of Subscriber to pay charges when due. Such termination or denial will not relieve Subscriber of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges.
All requests for canceling accounts must be made from the client portal. Upon the cancellation notice, Server Mania Inc. has the right to reclaim the server immediately. To keep servers online until the end of the billing cycle you must cancel the server on the due date.
...that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of The Company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that The Company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of The Company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company's liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

DDoS is an acronym for Distributed Denial of Service Attack. A type of denial of service attack in which an attacker uses malicious code installed on various computers to attack a single target. An attacker may use this method to have a greater effect on the target than is possible with a single attacking machine. As a Server Mania user, you are ultimately responsible for making sure that your account is secured, and that no root kits or viruses are on your server.
a. Violation of Server Mania Inc.'s SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, Server Mania will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, Server Mania may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, Server Mania may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer's account. Further, Server Mania reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. Server Mania will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.
b. First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $250.00 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $500.00 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $175.00 per hour that Server Mania personnel must spend to investigate the matter. PLEASE, DO NOT SPAM from your servers.
c. As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the Server Mania network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.
Anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.
a. IP Address Ownership: If Server Mania assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to Server Mania, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by Server Mania in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. Server Mania shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by Server Mania, and Server Mania reserves the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.

Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. Server Mania will investigate occurrences, which may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who are involved in such violations. These violations include, without limitation:
a. Server Mania is under no duty to look at each customer's or user's activities to determine if a violation of the AUP has occurred, nor do we assume any responsibility through our AUP to monitor or police Internet-related activities.
b. Limits on Account Privileges: Any User, which Server Mania determines to have violated any element of this AUP, shall receive an email, warning them of the violation. The service may be subject at Server Mania discretion to a temporary suspension pending a User's agreement in writing, to refrain from any further violations.
c. Account Suspension: Users that Server Mania determines to have committed a second violation of any element of this Acceptable Use Policy shall be subject to immediate suspension or termination of service without further notice.
d. Loss of Preferred Member Status: We reserve the right, to drop the section of IP space involved in Spam or Denial-of-Service complaints if it is clear that the offending activity is causing great harm to parties on the Internet. In particular, if open relays are on your network or a customer's network, or if denial of service attacks are originating from your network. In certain rare cases, we may have to do this before attempting to contact you. If we do this, we will contact you.
Server Mania reserves the right to suspend network access to any customer if in the judgment of the Server Mania network administrators the customer's server is the source or target of the violation of any of the other terms of the AUP or for any other reason which Server Mania chooses. If inappropriate activity is detected, all accounts of the Customer in question will be deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior notification to the Customer is not assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement will be contacted regarding the activity. The customer will not be credited for the time the customer's machines were suspended.

Failure to follow any term or condition will be grounds for immediate Cancellation. You will be held responsible for the actions of your clients in the matter described on these Terms and conditions. Therefore, it is in your best interest to implement a similar or stricter Terms and conditions or otherwise called Acceptable Terms of use policy.
