Subscriber also authorizes the downloading and printing of such material, or any portion thereof, by end-users for their personal use. This license shall terminate upon Subscriber’s cancellation of the Services as set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of the User Agreement.
• BeSearched AS RESELLER OR LICENSOR BeSearched is acting only as a reseller or licensor of certain services, hardware, software and equipment used in connection with the products and/or Services that were or are manufactured or provided by a third party (“Non-BeSearched Product”). BeSearched shall not be responsible for any changes in the Services that cause the Non-BeSearched Product to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect the performance of the Services. If you provide FTP access to a third party to utilize any Non-BeSearched Product, BeSearched is not liable for any malfunctions or defects or any losses of any kind resulting from such access. Any malfunction or manufacturer’s defects of Non-BeSearched Product either sold, licensed or provided by BeSearched to User or purchased directly by User used in connection with the Services will not be deemed a breach of BeSearched’s obligations under this Agreement. Any rights or remedies User may have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of Non-BeSearched Product are limited to those rights extended to User by the manufacturer of such Non-BeSearched Product. User is entitled to use any Non-BeSearched Product supplied by BeSearched only in connection with User’s permitted use of the Services. User shall use its best efforts to protect and keep confidential all intellectual property provided by BeSearched to User through any Non-BeSearched Product and shall make no attempt to copy, alter, reverse engineer, or tamper with such intellectual property or to use it other than in connection with the Services.

• USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS
  • “Unlimited” usage policies and definitions apply only to shared and reseller hosting accounts.
  • What “Unlimited” means BeSearched does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Subscriber can use. In good faith and subject to these Terms, BeSearched makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Subscribers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites successfully, as long as the Subscriber’s use of the service complies with these Terms. By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to provide simple, consistent pricing to our Subscribers as they grow their websites. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and resulting increased storage without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.
  • What “Unlimited” DOES NOT mean BeSearched employs complex mechanisms to protect its Subscribers and systems from abuse. BeSearched’s offering of “unlimited” services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Subscribers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Subscribers. BeSearched’s service is a shared hosting service, which means that multiple Subscriber web sites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. BeSearched’s service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website Subscribers in the United States. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, internationally based businesses, or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server. BeSearched will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Subscribers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, BeSearched does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until BeSearched can evaluate said sites resource needs.
  • Unlimited Hosting Space; excessive MySQL files BeSearched does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber’s website, nor does BeSearched charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber’s use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the BeSearched service is designed to host websites. BeSearched does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber’s account, with or without notice. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. BeSearched may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber’s account, with or without notice.
  • Unlimited File Transfer BeSearched does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic a web site can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to his/her/its website in a given month, nor does BeSearched charge additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber’s use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Subscriber’s web site will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, BeSearched reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.
  • Unlimited Domain Hosting BeSearched does not set arbitrary limits on the number of domain names a Subscriber can associate with the Subscriber’s web hosting account.
  • Bandwidth Usage Reseller and Dedicated Hosting accounts are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account exceed the allocated monthly amount, we reserve the right to (i) suspend the account until the start of the next month’s allocation; (ii) suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee; (iii) suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package; (iv) terminate the account; and/or (v) charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused bandwidth in one month cannot be carried over to the next month and bandwidth may not be pooled among multiple servers or accounts.
  • Availability of Support BeSearched will provide a default Operating System installation on the Dedicated Server hardware that permits super-user server access to our support staff. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that if Subscriber alters or removes this server access, Besearched’s ability to provide technical support to the Subscriber may be severely limited.
  • Subscriber Super-user Access Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber is solely responsible for any changes made with super-user access and that BeSearched may not be able to reverse any changes and/or recover data lost or damaged through the use of super-user privileges. BeSearched’s level of support to those users accessing super-user privileges will be limited as follows:
    • Reinstallation of corrupted modules, such as control panel files, web server files, etc.
    • Reinstallation of the baseline OS and core file image at Subscriber’s request. Subscriber must acknowledge that they understand that a new image install will cause the complete loss of all data stored on the server.
    • Restoration of files from available backups at Subscriber’s request. This restoration will be a full restore of the backup files; Besearched does not offer file-by-file restoration services.
    • Besearched will not attempt any configuration or setup of DNS, firewalls, web server, etc.
    • Besearched will attempt basic diagnostics upon Subscriber’s request. Besearched does not offer in-depth manual diagnostics as part of the Service. Subscriber may contact Besearched Professional Services to inquire about additional support offerings.
  • “UNLIMITED” USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS
  • VPS AND DEDICATED HOSTING USAGE POLICIES
• PARKED PAGE SERVICES BeSearched provides Parked Page Services on domains registered through or hosted with BeSearched. User can opt out of the Parked Page Services at any time by simply replacing the default web page on the parked domain or pointing the DNS away from BeSearched. By using any of the Parked Pages Services, User agrees that BeSearched may point the domain name or DNS to one of BeSearched’s or BeSearched’s affiliates web pages, and that they may place advertising on User’s web page and that BeSearched specifically reserves this right. User shall have no right to any compensation and shall not be entitled and shall have no right to receive any funds related to the monetization of User’s Parked Pages. User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BeSearched for any complications arising out of use of the Parked Page Services, including, but not limited to, actions BeSearched chooses to take to remedy User’s improper or illegal use of a Web site hosted by BeSearched. User agrees it is not entitled to a refund of any fees paid to BeSearched. If a dispute arises as a result of one or more of User’s Parked Pages, User will indemnify, defend and hold BeSearched harmless for damages arising out of such dispute. User also agrees that if BeSearched is notified that a complaint has been filed with a governmental, administrative or judicial body, regarding a Web site hosted by BeSearched that BeSearched, in its sole discretion, may take whatever action BeSearched deems necessary regarding further modification, assignment of and/or control of the Web site to comply with the actions or requirements of the governmental, administrative or judicial body until such time as the dispute is settled.
• RESELLER AGREEMENT In addition to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable to Resellers, including VPS and Dedicated Hosting Customers utilizing their Account to provide Reseller services.
  • The Reseller agrees, on behalf of both the Reseller and each user signed up by the Reseller, to comply with these Terms of Service.
  • In the event that a Reseller or a Reseller’s user is determined to be in violation of the Terms of Service, the Reseller shall, upon receipt of notice of the violation, take prompt action to ensure that the account in question is updated to be in full compliance with the Terms of Service.
  • BeSearched is not responsible for the actions or misrepresentations of Resellers. The Reseller hereby agrees to indemnify BeSearched from and against any and all claims made by any user that result from the Reseller’s misrepresentation, breach of the Terms of Service or other improper actions by the Reseller.
  • BeSearched reserves the right to revise its Reseller Programs, Terms of Service at any time. Changes shall take effect when posted online or on any subsequent date as may be set forth in any required notice provided by us in connection therewith.
  • Users who have been signed up by Resellers agree to operate their Web sites in accordance with the Terms of Service.
  • Resellers cannot make any modifications to the Terms of Service. Any such alterations shall be deemed a violation of the Terms of Service and could result in a cancellation of a Reseller’s account(s). BeSearched is not responsible for any modifications made to the Terms of Service by Resellers.
  • Resellers in the Reseller Program assume all responsibility for billing and technical support for each of their Users. Besearched reserves the right to refuse inquiries made to customer support from the customers of Resellers.
• Optimized Hosting for WordPress Optimized Hosting for WordPress (“OHWP”) uses a specialized server configuration to deliver an optimized WordPress hosting experience. Due to this custom configuration, the following additional terms apply to OHWP hosting accounts:
  • OHWP is intended only for use with the WordPress software platform. The use of OHWP with any non-WordPress related software is unsupported and such use may not operate in accordance with the description of the service.
  • Some WordPress add-on software is designed to function only on specific server configurations. Before installing any such software, customers are advised to contact Technical Support to ensure the desired add-on software will function in the OHWP environment. BeSearched will not be responsible for losses of any kind or downtime resulting from the installation of incompatible add-on software.
  • Domain names hosted on OHWP servers must use BeSearched name servers for DNS resolution. Please see our Helpdesk Article for assistance in setting name servers or contact Technical Support.
  • We reserve the right to deny customer requests for changes to the standard Optimized Hosting for WordPress configuration when we believe, in our sole discretion, that such changes to the configuration will severely inhibit the performance of the server.

• VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVERS (VPS) OR VIRTUAL DEDICATED SERVERS When creating a VPS account, we split dedicated servers into independent areas, referred to as “Containers.” Each Container is allotted its own disk space, CPU power, bandwidth, and memory. This isolation of server space allows for independent server customization for which each User is responsible. In addition to all terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the following shall also be applicable to VPS Users:
  • Each User is solely responsible for providing the firewalls, software, web files, content and operating systems for the User’s Container.
  • Each User is solely responsible for all installation, maintenance, security and backup of the operating system, software, files and data used in the User’s Container, as well as any reinstalls and changes.
  • Each User is solely responsible for all activities conducted in connection with the User’s Container.
• PROPERTY RIGHTS These Terms do not give Subscriber any rights in BeSearched intellectual property or technology. BeSearched and related trademarks and logos are the exclusive property of BeSearched.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall bar BeSearched from using any knowledge, information or skills that are generally known or that can be learned or otherwise acquired in the normal course of business.
• UNIVERSITY PROGRAM
  • BeSearched provides discounted student rates to participating Universities for their students. During the course of registering for your account, the student provides subscriber information and clicks and agrees to the BeSearched Terms of Service, located at: http://BeSearched.com/terms (the “TOS”). It is the student, not the University, which is the customer and registered holder of the account. As such the student, not the University, is responsible for conducting the activities regarding the account in accordance with BeSearchedt Terms of Service. BeSearched will support such accounts in accordance with its usual practices, which may include suspension or termination of such accounts and websites under certain circumstances in accordance with the BeSearched Terms of Service and applicable law. However it is important to note that BeSearched is not legally required to and does not pre-screen content or monitor content placed on customer websites or activities conducted on or through such websites. In each case it is the customer (the student), not BeSearched and not the university, who is responsible for handling their website in accordance with BeSearched Terms of Service.
  • Billing information is provided by the student at sign-up or, if the University has prepaid the initial term, when the student signs up for additional products or services or renews the account after the initial term.
  • Please note that any and all amounts prepaid for accounts purchased by the University are non-refundable once the account has been created by the student.
