1) I am 18 years of age or older.
2) All the information provided on the Signup Form is true.
3) I agree to send payment promptly upon email notification or to provide a valid credit
card with current expiration to MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet .
4) If I choose to pay monthly, I will be notified at the email address I
provide at signup, approximately 30 days before due
date of each month. If I choose to pay annually, I will be billed for 12
months regardless of the day of the month I sign up. Accounts remaining unpaid after
10 days will be suspended. After 31
days the account will be terminated and all files purged from the system.
MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet is not responsible for any lost data from deleted sites.
5) By clicking the Submit button on our order form, I am granting
MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet permission to charge the credit card number
I provide at the intervals specified. Monthly accounts will be automatically
renewed each month and annual accounts automatically each year on the due
date using the credit card of record (See #6). Or I may pay the amount due
for annual accounts by check within 1 week of due date.
These charges will continue until I send The MinistryHosting.org/The
GraceNet a written cancellation notice at least 48 hours before the
next billing date. Cancellations by telephone are not acceptable.
Written notice may be accomplished by submitting a Cancellation Form (http://www.gracenet.org/cancel.htm).
Cancellations will be accepted only from the person establishing the account
or another authorized individual and must include the account login and
password. My account will not be cancelled and billing will continue until
my correct username and password on the Cancellation form has been received
by MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet. MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet is not
responsible for any bank charges accrued by an overdrawn bank account or any
extra bank fees. I understand that a fee of $31.00 will be charged for any
check returned unpaid for any reason.
There is no cancellation fee or penalty for terminating a hosting account.
However, if I cancel my account after billing has occurred, there is no
refund for partial month usage and my account will be terminated at the end
of that month. If my account is paid annually, upon cancellation, it will be
prorated at the normal monthly billing rate for any and all full or partial
months used.
6) If I provide a credit card for payment at signup, it shall remain the
"card of record" and shall be used for all future renewal charges
until I notify MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet in writing that a different card
should be used. Credit card updates may be submitted at:
https://host.gracenet.org/gracenet/ccsubmitxtras.htm
Check payments (annual accounts only) may be submitted online at:
https://host.gracenet.org/gracenet/pbcheckxtras.htm
7) It is my
responsibility to keep my e-Mail address and any credit card information on
file at MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet up to date.
Should my card be expired when a renewal of services is due, I authorize
MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet to extend the Expiration date.
8) If I place pornographic content on my site or if I make any attempts to hack into
MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet servers, I agree to accept any appropriate action that MinistryHosting.org/The
GraceNet may take against me. For example: Deactivation of my account without
prior notice and a full investigation. In severe cases the proper authorities will be
informed.
9) The right to refuse a new customer or cancel an existing customer's account shall be
at the sole discretion of MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet.
10) Under no circumstances shall MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet be liable for any
direct, indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages that result in any way from
my use of or inability to use the service, or for third parties' use of the service to

exclusive remedy is to discontinue using the service.
11) MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet provides no guarantee that the service will be
uninterrupted or error free, but will do their best to prevent this from happening
and will also do their best to make the necessary repairs/modifications to get the
service up and running as quickly as possible.
12) My use of this service is at my sole risk. MinistryHosting.org/The
GraceNet is not
responsible for files and data residing on my account. I agree to take full responsibility
for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data
stored on MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet servers. I also take full
responsibility for
the misuse of my account for unlawful purposes. For example but not limited to: Spamming,
Junk/Bulk E-mailing, Hacking, Adult Material, etc. I accept a zero
tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and
spam. "Safe lists" and "double optin" will be treated as spam. I understand
that any user who sends out spam may have their account terminated without
notice.
Mail LimitsThere is a 200 hourly pop email limit
per domain this limit is also applied towards mailman
mailing lists. If you send over this amount in any hour most
of the e-mails will bounce back with a undeliverable error.
Many of our servers have a 60 pop checks per hour limit
per email address. If you go over this you're likely to get
a wrong password error message saying login incorrect. Just
wait an hour and it will automatically unlock you. to
prevent this from happening again make sure to disable auto
checking or at least set it to something higher such as 10
minutes.
Any mailing list larger than 5,000 will require a semi
dedicated or dedicated hosting solution from us. Note:
dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this
limit is not allowed.
Mailing Lists Rules
A. Anytime you're sending a message no matter how large
your e-mail list is you must throttle it. We recommend you
throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 2
seconds. If the mailing list software you're using does not
allow you to throttle you must switch to something else. We
recommend phplist which can be found in your control panel
under fantastico. If you do not throttle and you try sending
let's say 600 emails the server will try sending all 600 in
1 second which is not possible. This will cause the server
load to go very high and for the entire server to be
sluggish until this process is completed. It is our job to
keep the server up and running without being sluggish.
Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be
suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose
not to throttle you will most likely be suspended for
endangering the server.
B. Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed to be
sent to during off-peak times to prevent high server loads.
Off peak times qualify as all day Saturday and Sunday, and
1am - 8 am eastern time M-F.
C. You are not allowed to mail to a mailing list you were
given or purchased. This is spamming because they never
agreed to you personally sending them mail. We do not care
and how you justify it this is spam and will result in
termination of the offending account.
D. Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in
termination of the offending account. We take a zero
tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail.
13) MinistryHosting.org/The GraceNet maintains regular back-ups of all
data on their system but I am responsible to have all my data backed up and ready to be
restored should there be a system failure.
14) I understand any credit card charges will show GraceNet_org on my
statement. Any checks will be made out to and deposited to The GraceNet.
15) Indemnification

hold MinistryHosting.org / GraceNet.org harmless from any
