6)
ABUSE OF SERVICES. Any use of Brent Dynamics system resources that disrupts
the normal use of the system for other Brent Dynamics customers is considered
to be an abuse of system resources and is grounds for administrative
intervention. Some examples of system abuse include, but are not limited to,
spawning dozens of processes, consuming excessive amounts of memory or CPU for
long periods of time, spamming or mass emailing using internal or external mail
and/or news servers. Without limiting the scope of the above, Brent Dynamics
forbids the storage of illegal/pirated software, the use of any type of IRC bot
and/or proxy, the storage and use of any type of software intended for
hacking/cracking purposes and the storage or sale of bulk e-mail lists intended
for spamming or resale purposes.
Depending on
the nature and the severity of the abuse, the user may receive an E-mail warning
or have his/her account suspended by Brent Dynamics Technical Support. If the
misuse is unintentional, the suspension may be rescinded following discussion
with Brent Dynamics Technical Support. If the misuse is intentional, the
suspension may be rescinded at the discretion of the Operations Manager, and
may require the payment of a service re connection charge. Occasionally,
unintentional misuse is misclassified as intentional misuse. Customers who
believe their activity has been misclassified may appeal to the Operations
Manager. However, spamming activities will result in immediate termination of
services to Customer.
Unethical and
criminal offenses are violations of Brent Dynamics conditions of use. You are
expected to report to Brent Dynamics any information you may have concerning
instances in which the conditions of use have been or are being violated. When
Brent Dynamics becomes aware of possible violations, we will initiate an
investigation. At the same time, in order to prevent further possible
unauthorized activity, Brent Dynamics may suspend access to services to the
individual account in question. Confirmation of violations may result in
cancellation of the individual account and/or criminal prosecution.
7)
BILLING. Customer is responsible for all applicable charges for services
rendered, as set forth in the Web Hosting and Hosting Options pricing
structure, as detailed at www.BrentDynamics.net at time of order submission,

Customer is paying by cheque or money order, Customer will be invoiced in
advance of payment due. Customer is required to pay in a minimum of one-month

payment is not received within 30 days after day of invoice. If Customer
defaults, Customer agrees to pay Brent Dynamics its reasonable expenses
