2. Unlimited Features:
   What do you mean by "unlimited disk space and bandwidth/data transfer"
   
   We do not set limits on the disk space and bandwidth (data transfer) that we provide in plans that are marked "Unlimited". We want you to have the resources available to you to build a great online presence.
   
   Even though we want you to succeed, we need to ensure that we're providing all of our customers with optimum service. As such we do require all of our customers to be fully compliant with our Excessive Resource User Policy/Terms of Service and utilize disk space and bandwidth related to normal operation of a personal or small business web site.
   
   If a customer's hosting account is found to have violated the client content, excessive resource user policy and/or is storing files for archiving purposes, the contents will be removed and while we make best effort to contact customers before hand, can occur without notice.
3. Excessive Resource User Policy:
   Resources are defined as bandwidth, memory and/or processor utilization. Qiwi Trails offers a shared web hosting service in which environment customers may share resources with other customers; therefore it is imperative that Qiwi Trails control any excessive usage by customers so that they do not disrupt the service quality of other customers using the same resources. A website is considered using "Excessive amounts of resources" when it monopolies the resources available using 8% or more of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. There are numerous issues that could cause such problems, including but not limited to: cgi scripts, FTP, HTTP, etc. Any site that consumes over the account limit of bandwidth is also considered an "excessive resource" user. In the event of excessive resource usage Qiwi Trails may act in the following manner: if the excessive usage may cause a disruption of service to any other customer, Qiwi Trails may suspend that customer’s account prior to notify that customer, Qiwi Trails may also contact the ‘excessive usage’ customer prior to taking any action if Qiwi Trails feels that the excessive usage will not interfere with the service of any other customer. Client suspensions prior to notification by Qiwi Trails is rare and is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. The client whom is using "excessive resources" may be asked to upgrade his/her package to a “dedicated server” package to reduce their excessive usage utilization in the future. Qiwi Trails will only offer this sort of solution on a situational basis. Qiwi Trails will be the sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this policy.
4. No "Spam":
   UCE/UBE or "Spam" originating from a server located on our network or associated with a Qiwi Trails server is not tolerated. This includes any e-mail that promotes web sites hosted on a server located on the Qiwi Trails network but is sent from an e-mail address not associated with that Qiwi Trails account. Client shall not use their Qiwi Trails services for chain letters, junk mail, bulk-email, or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. Qiwi Trails reserves the right to deactivate or terminate any account(s) upon any indication of such activity without notice.
5. Excessive Exploits:
   Qiwi Trails allows 3rd party scripts to be uploaded/installed from our auto-installer or manually (those scripts that are/aren't included in the auto-installer) on your web hosting account. It is the responsibility or our web hosting clients to maintain the latest exploit free version of the scripts. If a script that our web hosting clients uploads to our servers is found to have security lapses and allows a third party to "hack", "exploit", "deface" their site(s) it is the responsibility of our clients to either remove that script or Qiwitrails.com reserves the right to terminate that clients' account and provide them with a prorated refund.
6. False Information:
   Customer agrees not to post false or inaccurate information to news groups in violation of the news group’s rules and regulations. If any news groups or service provider contact Qiwi Trails concerning unethical, false or unlawful activities by you, Qiwi Trails reserve the right to suspend or terminate your service with or without notice.

Payment, Renewal, Cancellations

All payment-due notices will be sent by e-mail. No bills or invoices will be sent by postal mail or fax. If payment was not received by the due-date, your account will be suspended. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that payment is made to Qiwi Trails prior to the renewal date and although Qiwi Trails sends renewal notices to our customers prior to their renewal date, because of the ability for a customer to change their contact email addresses without notifying Qiwi Trails, the customer is ultimately responsible for remembering their renewal date and to make sure payment is made upon the renewal.
• Renewals:
  Your account will be automatically renewed under the same time and fee structure unless you give written notice to Qiwi Trails thirty (30) days before the renewal date that you do not wish to renew or make changes to such account. For accounts who used a coupon upon their initial purchase to reduce the cost of signing up with Qiwi Trails those coupons are good for only the initial purchase and initial activation of the customers' account and the coupon is not applied to the renewal of their customer account.
• Late Fees:
  Clients have the option to pay an invoice at any time by logging into their Qiwi Trails account and submitting a payment. An invoice that is not paid by the due date is automatically marked overdue in the system. If an invoice is overdue by more than four days (the grace period), the account is automatically suspended and a $15.00 late fee is added to the account. To reactivate an account that is suspended for failure to submit a payment within the grace period, a payment for the original invoiced amount plus $15.00 must be submitted to Qiwi Trails.
• Cancellation & Refunds:
  Should you become dissatisfied with our services within the first 30 days of your account activation, Qiwi Trails will refund your hosting fee subject to the money back guarantee terms listed in this agreement. Refunds are not available for customers after the 30 days of account activation. You may however cancel your account at any time in order to make sure that your account is not renewed. You will need to contact customer service and verify information before cancellation takes place. You will be charged in full for the entire month in which you cancelled your account. Accounts which have negative balances will be sent to collections and all services will be terminated, including domain registrations. Refunds are never available for domain registrations. Domain Names transferred to our service incur an additional year of registration and therefore are considered a domain registration. Domain registration fees are $24.95/yr. Domain names of customers which leave our hosting service will be refunded the package price total less the domain registration fee if the customer leaves Qiwi Trails hosting service within the 30 day money back guarantee.
