7. DEFINITION OF
UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH:
The term "Unlimited" is often used within the Internet Services
community to describe services of which no hard limits or per unit pricing
are imposed, but which are nonetheless governed by limitations of fair and
reasonable use, often at the discretion of the service provider.
DynamicHOSTING offers some services with "Unlimited" bandwidth, which bear
no per unit charges, nor hard limits, but nonetheless are governed by
reasonable and fair use. This means that we will not charge you for any
bandwidth your account uses, nor will we impose any hard limits on the
amount of bandwidth that you can use, provided said use is what
DynamicHOSTING in its sole discretion deems to be reasonable. If at any time
DynamicHOSTING deems your bandwidth usage to be abusive or unreasonable for
the level of service you have purchased, or your bandwidth usage threatens
to impair the quality of other users' service, DynamicHOSTING may, at its
sole discretion take steps to limit the amount of bandwidth you consume,
or request you to upgrade to a higher package. Special hosting packages
can be designed for sites that require higher than normal bandwidth.
DynamicHOSTING will at no time attempt to collect payment for bandwidth
already used by a customer whose account grants them unlimited bandwidth,
regardless of the amount. DynamicHOSTING does however reserve the right to
charge the client for any additional bandwidth he/she might require.
8. DOMAIN
NAMES AND DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES:
- DynamicHOSTING will not be
held liable for any disputes arising out of domain name registrations or
domain name hosting on behalf of the client.
- DynamicHOSTING will not be
held liable for any losses or damages the client may suffer due to a
domain name being reallocated, transferred or deleted by any Domain Name
Authority or NIC.
- DynamicHOSTING will not
issue any credits for domain names where the client has requested the
wrong domain name to be registered. By submitting a domain name
registration form, the client confirms that he/she has completed the
registration form correctly and that the domain name that he/she has
entered is correct.
- DynamicHOSTING reserves
the right to take ownership of any domain name upon cancellation by the
client should the client not specify any action to be taken in regards
to ownership or transfer of the domain name.
- DynamicHOSTING requires 24
hours written notification via fax prior to releasing any domain name.
Where the client has not notified DynamicHOSTING of his intention to
transfer or move a domain name, all transfer requests will be declined.
- DynamicHOSTING will retain
the ownership of the domain name in the event of the client's accounts
not being settled in full on termination of the hosting agreement.
- There
is no guarantee that a domain name applied for has been entered on
DynamicHOSTING's database until you receive confirmation of registration.
You are advised not to take any action in respect of the registration of
the domain name before you have received confirmation and you know that
full payment has been made.
- Acceptance of names is
at the discretion of DynamicHOSTING. DynamicHOSTING may not accept a name
for registration if:

registered
- it is on the list of

otherwise deemed to be unsuitable

- Domain name renewal fees
may change from time to time due to the rand/dollar
fluctuations.

Court, the use of the name for illegal purposes or where a domain name
could cause technical problems on the Internet.
