NEROTECH SOLUTIONS is designed to serve the web hosting needs of small, independently owned and operated businesses in a single country. It is not appropriate to use our services to support large enterprises or internationally based businesses with a sustained demand that places undue burden on our systems or negatively impacts use by small, independently owned and operated businesses.

NEROTECH SOLUTIONS is a shared web hosting service, which means that a number of customers' web sites and other email or storage services are hosted from the same server. NEROTECH SOLUTIONS uses abuse controls to help ensure that use of our services does not adversely affect the performance of our system or other customers' sites. It is not appropriate to use an account primarily as an online storage space or for archiving electronic files.

NEROTECH SOLUTIONS will not tolerate any form of storage space abuse. At least 90% of YOUR web pages ("HTML") must be 'linked' with files (GIF, JPEG, etc.) stored on NEROTECH SOLUTIONS servers. Website that are found to contain either/or no HTML documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to files deletion or account cancelation at the discretion of NEROTECH SOLUTIONS Management ("MANAGEMENT"), with or without prior notice.

If YOU do not qualify for the free service, disk space will go unmonitored until YOU reach the amount allocated to YOUR specific web hosting plan ("PLAN"). Thereafter, normal website data storage costs $0.20/1MB/month will be billed to YOUR account.

YOU will have 3 days to pay for your overages. Failure to do so will result in YOUR website being disabled within 3 days of YOUR first notice. This does not apply to co-location clients. Co-location clients will be billed for the overages based on switch reports. Co-location clients must pay for the overages IMMEDIATELY once billing or NEROTECH SOLUTIONS has the sole decision to deactivate any and all servers.

NEROTECH SOLUTIONS will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
