Sending spam emails which include links to a web site hosted on one of our servers is also forbidden. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any site that is linked to from spam emails. To protect our servers we may impose limits on the number of emails sent within a particular time frame from our servers. Usenet Spamming: We have a zero tolerance policy for the use of our network for the posting of messages or commercial advertisements, which violate the rules, regulations, FAQ or charter of any newsgroups or mailing list. Commercial messages that are appropriate under the rules of a newsgroup or mailing list or that are solicited by the recipients are permitted. Server Use We want to allow our customers to use our servers the best way, but in order to protect other users, we may, temporarily or not, suspend a site if this site slows down our servers or uses too much server resource. In this case, we will try to find a solution together with the customer. You may not use your site to publish material, which TeacherSolutions determines, at its sole discretion, to be unlawful, indecent or objectionable. For purposes of this policy, "material" refers to all forms of communications including narrative descriptions, graphics (including photographs, illustrations, images, drawings, logos), executable programs, video recordings, and audio recordings.
You must take resonable steps to protect the security of our servers. This includes, but is not limited to:

keeping all passwords to TeacherSolutions systems secure. You must not reveal your passwords to third parties.

We reserve the right to suspend access to such server during the required time to do the maintainence, upgrade or exchange the server, for no more than 4 hours. In this event, the users will be sent an e- mail at least 24 hours before the due date and time for maintenance. Responsibility TeacherSolutions can not be held responsible for any damage caused to your business or yourself, even if the damage is directly caused by one of our employees. TeacherSolutions cannot be held responsible for any loss of data or service interruption, but will do its best to help the customer. You, as a TeacherSolutions customer, are solely responsible for the content stored on and served by your web site. You must maintain adequate backups of your content. Technical Support TeacherSolutions provides technical support to our customers via a support ticket system. TeacherSolutions provides support related to your web site physical functioning. TeacherSolutions does not offer technical support for application specific issues such as PHP or cgi programming, html, script installation or any other such issue. There are links in the members area to other web sites that can help with such issues. You may purchase additional technical support for issues which are not covered by our normal support. The cost of such support is US$30 per half and hour. For a cost estimate for additional support please create a support ticket in the members area describing the support you require.

Modification
We may modify any of these terms and conditions contained, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site. Your continued participation now, or within thirty (30) days following the posting notice of any changes in these terms and conditions, will constitute a binding acceptance by you of such rules, changes or modifications. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate your account(s). In this case, a pro-rata repayment of web hosting costs will be made. All payment disputes must be raised via the support ticket system. If you dispute a payment through your credit card company or through PayPal we may immediately suspend or terminate all services you have purchased from us. We may levy a charge of $25 per dispute instance, payable before we restore your services. If we are charged a chargeback settlement fee, or other fee related to the payment dispute, we may pass this fee onto you. Termination and Suspension You may terminate your hosting at any time by advising us via a support ticket that you wish to do so. We may terminate or suspend (temporarily or indefinately) your hosting if you violate any of our terms and conditions. We may suspend your hosting where we have reason to suspect a violation of our terms and conditions whilst we investigate the suspected violation. We may suspend your hosting where we have reason to suspect that a script installed on your site is being abused whilst we investigate the suspected abuse.
