This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for various NameTech services.

By selecting our service(s) you have agreed to establish an account with us for such services.

Any and all parts of this Agreement can be found or referenced at http://www.nametech.com/termsandconditions/. The Dispute Policy, in particular, can be found at http://www.nametech.com/disputepolicy/. Certain disputes, as specified in the Dispute Policy, are subject to that Policy. You agree that, if the registration or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time your domain name registration is disputed by the third party. You also agree that, in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold NameTech harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.

This Agreement will become effective when accepted by NameTech.

Our Services

NameTech acts as a reseller of personalized Internet presence services through this Site. NameTech has specific ethical and technical concerns regarding the use of its services and computers detailed below. NameTech reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's subscription or access ("account") to any or all services provided through the Site when we decide that the account has been inappropriately used.

Domain Name Registration
NameTech is an authorized reseller for an accredited registrar with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN") for Top Level Domain Names (TLDs), currently .com, .net and .org. ICANN oversees registrations and other aspects of the TLDs. As an authorized reseller for domain name registration, NameTech forwards your domain name registration application to the Registrar, your sponsor for that application. All domain name registrations that the Registrar registers for TLDs are not effective until the registrar has delivered the domain name registration information you provide us to the registry administrator for the TLDs, as applicable, and the registry administrator puts into effect your domain name registration. Currently, the registry administrator for the .com, .net and .org TLDs is Network Solutions, Inc.

You agree and acknowledge that NameTech is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions or any other actions by the Registrar or the registry administrator arising out of or related to your application and receipt of, or failure to receive, a domain name registration.

Internet Email and Web Hosting

What We Do Not Do

Abuse of Unlimited Traffic

NameTech's customers are privileged to be offered unlimited traffic for their web sites. The intention of the Site is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an off site storage area for electronic files. All (90%) of your web pages (html) must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on NameTech's servers. 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 NameTech management. Any customer who violates NameTech's Policies in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the problem. If the problem is not resolved within the allotted period, the client will be billed for the overages.

To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply:

  • Sites with banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domains.
  • Sites with picture galleries (This is any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics)
  • Sites offering download files or archives. (This is any site where 50% or more of there monthly traffic is from file downloads).
  • Sites using more than 30% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. Sites running multimedia files (QuickTime, Real Audio, Real Video, MP3).

For those that do not qualify for the unlimited service, traffic will go unmonitored until you reach 20 GB per month. Thereafter, normal data transfer cost of $20.00/1GB/month will be billed to your account. If you want to pre-pay for bandwidth overages, you will be billed $10.00/1GB/month.

You will receive a notice on Tuesday morning detailing your bandwidth usage.

You will have 7 days to visit http://www.nametech.com/overages/ to pay for your overages. If you do not pay for your overages your site will be disabled within 7 days of your first notice.
NameTech will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Unsolicited Email (Spam)

Unsolicited commercial advertisements (spam) are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account cancellation.

NameTech takes a zero-tolerance approach to spam originating from our servers or for spam advertising of domains hosted on our servers.

The following activities are not allowed:

  • Unsolicited bulk or commercial messages ("spam"). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts. Such messages may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your domain.
  • Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers is prohibited. Any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning and without refund.
  • Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message with the intent to disrupt a server or account ("mail bombing").
  • Spamming Newsgroups: Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such.
  • Mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail, you must not send that person any further messages.

Note: If you use the services of another provider to promote a web site hosted by or through the Site and/or NameTech (spamvertising), then the provisions of the above Policy shall apply as if the spam were sent through our servers.

You will be charged $50.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please contact us to have your domain moved.

Right Of Refusal

The Registrar reserves the right to refuse to register your chosen domain name, or to delete your domain name within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of your payment to NameTech for such services. In the event we do not forward your domain name registration or register you for other service(s), or the Registrar refuses to register your domain name or deletes your domain name within such thirty (30) calendar day period, we agree to refund your applicable fee(s). You agree that we shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from our refusal to forward your domain name registration or register you for other service(s), or the Registrar refuses to register your domain name or deletes your domain name.

General

This Agreement, NameTech's Disclaimer and the Dispute Policy, together with all modifications, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and NameTech, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements, or other communications. Nothing contained in this Policy shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. The failure of NameTech to require your performance of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by NameTech of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any provision of this Policy shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Policy unenforceable or invalid as a whole. NameTech will amend or replace such provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of NameTech as reflected in the original provision. This Agreement, NameTech's Disclaimer and the Dispute Policy may not be amended or modified by you except by means of a written document signed by both you and an authorized representative of NameTech.
