Terms of Service

When signing up for TechMinds 4 Hire, Inc's ("TM4H") hosting services, you, the customer, agree to comply with TechMinds 4 Hire’s Terms of Service (“TOS”). The TOS is to ensure customers using TM4H's hosting services mind the rights of other Internet users and conform to the requirements of Tm4h's network environment. The TOS are not exhaustive and TM4H reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any provision of its TOS at any time without notice, effective upon either the posting of the modified TOS at http://www.tm4h.com/hosting/tos.php or email notification. Any complaints about a customer’s violation of the TOS should be sent to abuse@tm4h.com.

The following Terms of Use apply to our customers:

• Illegal Use - TM4H servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Illegal activities include, but are not limited to: copyrighted material or trademarks infringement or using intellectual property without proper authorization, or content that violates export control laws.
• Burstable 100Mbps - People can burst up to 100Mbps but we will cap you if we see you averaging more then 30Mbps over 24 hours.
• Email Forwarder Accounts - Any forwarders that are found pointing at AOL, Yahoo, or Comcast will be removed. If you choose to re-add the forwarder, it will be removed if found. We are working to automate the prevention of forwarders to domains that claim that blind forwarded spam is abuse. Why?
• Resource Usage for Non Dedicated Accounts - TM4H has the right to limit resource consumption. Such as: number of concurrent clients on Apache, number of support requests, CPU and memory usage; regardless of bandwidth included, respect the other accounts on the server. If your resource usage is too high TM4H has the right to move the client to a dedicated plan.
• Spamming - Sending unsolicited bulk email messages is prohibited. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of $800 and will face immediate suspension. TM4H reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.
• Viruses and Other Destructive Activities - Use of TM4H’s services for creating or sending viruses, or mail bombing, or engaging in denial of service attacks is prohibited.
• Copyright Violations - All TM4H customers are subject to the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Customers who infringe upon the DMCA may be subject to account termination at TM4H’s sole discretion.

• Privacy - TM4H cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over TM4H's facilities. We do our best to protect your data with firewalls, monitors, and routers.
• Best Efforts - While we have multiple servers in variety datacenters around North America, our hosting efforts our 'best effort' unless other arrangement have been made. We offer a SLA but are not responsible for business loss during downtime.
• Actions Taken - Failure by a customer to follow any of the TOS is grounds for account deactivation. TM4H will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the TOS and reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice. Customers in violation of the policy are responsible for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations. Adult content is not allowed.
