Terms of Service

The credit card holder or owner of the PayPal e-mail address which is utilized for payment on the account is designated as the authorized owner of the account.

Transfers

Our transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

Fees

Web hosting is billed annually.  Your payment is due on the first month of each year in which you activated your hosting plan.

Late Fees

Late Fee of 5% will apply to the bill if the payment is not received within 10 business days from the payment due date.

Suspension

Web hosting will be suspended if your payment is not received within 30 days from the payment due date. While under suspension, all data including files, emails and other programs will be suspended until reactivated. You will be notified if your web hosting is suspended. At this time you will be notified of a back up that you can manually download within the suspension period of 15 days.

Reactive Hosting

You will be required to pay a fee of $15 for reactivating your web hosting at Ninja Cloud Host.  We will create an invoice for the full renewal price of your hosting package (the one which will fit you best) + $15 reactivation fee excluding late fees.  Once the invoice is paid, we will restore the backup. The access details will be restored and remain the same as for all your old package, however, the link and password to your cPanel account may be changed.

Nonpayment

Nonpayment is when a payment is not within 15 days after the web hosting is suspended, all data on the server will be removed including Email, Website files, and/or URL Forwarding. A back up will not be provided at this point.

Dedicated IP Address Allocation

Any dedicated IP order in addition to ones provided with a hosting package may be subject to IP Justification. Justification practices are subject to change to remain in conformity with policies of American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN). We reserve the right to deny any dedicated IP request based on insufficient justification or current IP utilization.

Ninja Cloud Host services, including all related equipment, networks and network devices are provided only for authorized customer use. Ninja Cloud Host systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, including to ensure that use is authorized, for management of the system, to facilitate protection against unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability, and operational security. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied and used for authorized purposes. Use of Ninja Cloud Host system(s) constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes.

Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be with expressed written consent from the third party. Ninja Cloud Host may, at its discretion, request and require documentation to prove access to a third party network or system is authorized.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.

Failure to respond to email from our abuse department within 48 hours may result in the suspension or termination of your services. All abuse issues must be dealt with via troubleticket/email and will have a response within 48 hours.

Sites hosted on Ninja Cloud Host service(s) are regulated only by U.S. law. Given this fact, and pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, we do not remove allegedly defamatory material from domains hosted on our service(s). The only exception to this rule is if the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. Ninja Cloud Host is not in a position to investigate and validate or invalidate the veracity of individual defamation claims, which is why we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is indeed considered defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates material is defamatory, libelous, or slanderous in nature; we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a US Court has placed an injunction against specified content or material; we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question.

The language of Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services providers like Ninja Cloud Host and many of Ninja Cloud Host’s other webhosting services and brands are republishers and not the publisher of content. Our service merely provides a hosting platform and space on which to host content, and any creation or publication of content on our services is the sole responsibility of the third-party user which creates or publishes the content. Therefore, ninjacloudhost.com should not be held liable for any allegedly defamatory, offensive or harassing content published on sites hosted under ninjacloudhost.com’s webhosting service(s).

If in doubt regarding the acceptability of your site or service, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

7a.) Resource Usage
User may not:

2) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
3) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
4) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
5) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
6) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
7) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
8) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
9) Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.
10) When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include(“include.php”)
11) To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml).
12) Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.
