Where you fail to supply materials, and that prevents the progress of the work, we have the right to invoice you for any part or parts of the work already completed.

Failure to provide required website content

Core Media is a small business, to remain efficient we must ensure that work we have programmed is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasions we may have to reject offers for other work and enquiries to ensure that projects are completed at the time arranged. This is why we ask that you provide all the required information in advance.

If your project involves Search Engine Optimisation we need the text content for your site in advance so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently.

If you agree to provide us with the required information and subsequently fail to do within one week of project commencement we reserve the right to close the project and the balance remaining becomes payable immediately. Simply put, all the above condition says is do not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email (or similar) document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website.

Project delays and client liability

Any time frames or estimates that we give are contingent upon your full co-operation. During development there is a certain amount of feedback required in order to progress to subsequent phases.

Rejected work

If you reject any of our work within the 7-day review period, or not approve subsequent work performed by us to remedy any points recorded as being unsatisfactory, and we, acting reasonably, consider that you have been unreasonable in any rejection of the work, we can elect to treat this contract as at an end and take measures to recover payment for the completed work.

Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP)

The internet is a wonder of modern technology. It allows people all over the world to share ideas, thoughts, images, videos, music and almost anything else. The reason it is effective is the fact that it is largely open and inclusive, this strength is also its weakness. The internet is largely unregulated, and therefore difficult to police or monitor, the same openness that allows the sharing of ideas and dreams can be used to spread hate and crime. Despite these risks, the people at Core Media believe that the internet is still a wonderful tool for individuals, families, businesses and communities. It is this belief that drives us to provide modern, professional internet services for a price that anyone can afford. The size and nature of the internet ensures that enormous amounts of information are available to any person who can connect to it. However, the information on the internet is not guaranteed to be truthful. Core Media cannot and will not monitor the internet or the information that its customers may encounter. It is not responsible in any way for any damages that may result from inaccurate, offensive or illegal content on the internet. Core Media is also not responsible for information or content that our customers produce or display. Customers who place content onto the internet are liable as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, hateful content or any other harmful speech. In addition customers using Core Media services in any manner that is illegal, threatening or harmful will have their accounts immediately frozen or deleted. Actions that may result in an account freeze include, but are not limited to: Illegal Activity - use of Core Media services for ANY illegal activity will result in termination of all services. This includes but is not limited to: * Copyright Infringement * Advertising or making available any kind of money scheme or fraud. * Distribution of any kind of internet virus. * * In addition it is the legal responsibility of Core Media to report any presence of child pornography to a law enforcement agency. Defamatory/Abusive/Hateful Language - use of Core Media services to promote, spread, or display hateful, abusive or defamatory language, pictures, or ideas is prohibited. Such uses will result in the clients services being disabled. Spamming - Sending mass, unsolicited e-mails (aka 'spamming') is not permitted while using Core Media services. Spamming can not only have a negative effect on the Core Media reputation but can also cause resource strain on our systems. Core Media retains the right to determine what constitutes spamming while it's services are being used. Network Abuse - defined as any action that could cause harm to Core Media servers, the company or our clients. Core Media does not intentionally monitor or screen our clients use of the internet. However, should it become aware of any violation of this agreement it reserves the right to remove, block or suspend any content, images or services, or take any other action it deems necessary. In addition Core Media does not accept responsibility for any of the content or actions of our clients. If Core Media is sued, defamed or damaged in anyway by a third party, because of a clients misuse of our services. That client is responsible for all costs involved, including but not limited to legal fees, damages or court ordered payments.

Core Media provides services to clients all around the world. Core Media has the responsibility to protect each client and provide them with the best services available. The following guidelines were designed in an attempt to ensure that we can do such. Core Media will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of these provisions. General: Services provided by Core Media may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation of any information, data, or material in violation of any United States Federal, State, or City law is prohibited.

This includes, but is not limited to: * Denial of Service Attacks (DOS/DDOS) * Unnecessary Port Scans * Mail Bombing * Unsolicited Advertising via IM, Forums, Newsgroups, Email, etc.. Bulk Email: We understand that bulk email is an important mechanism for keeping people informed. However, spamming (unsolicited advertising), from the Core Media network, or spamvertising (unsolicited advertising of) sites hosted on the Core Media network is STRICTLY prohibited. Legitimate bulk email meets the following criteria: 1) The recipient has confirmed his willingness to be added to the distribution list of the mailing, by responding to a verification email, or, otherwise, verifiable confirming permission. (Evidence of such must be retained and available by request.) 2) Messages include: Valid headers, removal instructions, and information on the method by which the subscribed address was obtained. All bulk email senders must post privacy policies, in association with the sending domains. Co-registration is not prohibited, but explanations of the sharing of information must be both publicly available and included in the confirmation mechanism for list subscription. If Core Media approaches a client for evidence of confirmation, this request must be honored within 24 hours. We require clients to provide double opt-in information for each subscriber if requested. Failure to meet the acceptable criteria for bulk mail may lead to immediate termination. Additionally, if such actions have caused mail servers or IP address ranges on the Core Media network to be blacklisted, Core Media reserves the right to assess a $100 charge to the customer account. This fee is set to cover administrative costs associated with removal from such lists. Please make an effort to limit outgoing mail on your account to no more than 1000 pieces per hour. Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12AM - 8AM EST. Policy Violations: Core Media may, at any time, audit systems for any data/activity showing potential policy violations. Warnings: The Core Media Abuse Dept makes an attempt to contact the client, via email, when the first sign of a possible violation is noted. These alerts are a courtesy. Responses to such alerts are required. If an alert is received from any Core Media staff member, the client is responsible for acknowledging his/her understanding and citing any action planned or taken, within 24 hours of the notice. Failure to do so may lead to suspension. Repeated failure to do so may result in termination. Note: It is extremely important to ensure that the email address on record with the Core Media Customer Service Dept is valid. This is the address used for abuse notifications and warnings. Suspension/Deactivation: If any terms or conditions are failed to be followed, the client risks service suspension or termination. Core Media reserves the right to remove any account, without prior notice. If Core Media deactivates an account for violating policy, the client will forfeit any rights to a refund. No refunds for advance payments will be granted for deactivated accounts.

Core Media may opt to disable all services until the client can perform such an investigation. If the technical support of Core Media is required for the investigation, the client agrees to compensate Core Media at a rate of $65/hour for such services performed, if such services are not included in the client's current service package. In general, the client is responsible for maintaining a secure system. This includes, but is not limited to: * Requesting kernel updates * Applying application patches Additionally, Core Media will not be responsible for securing third-party applications. The client is expected to monitor his/her system(s) and/or service(s). Resource usage should be maintained within the level outlined in the service contract. Abuse caused by end-users or unauthorized parties may increase resource usage and it should be noted that overage fees may apply. Certain clientele, such as those with Maximum Admin fully managed support services, may be entitled to a higher level of support than those clientele with only basic management included with their service(s). The above unauthorized usage responsibilities may differ for such clientele. Resource Usage: Core Media will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of resource usage limitations. Bandwidth: Overage fees will apply to any service utilizing more than it's assigned bandwidth allocation, except for those services advertised/sold as "UNMETERED". Overages will be calculated based on overall amount of GigaBytes (GB) transferred in a monthly period, unless a service is sold based on Megabits per Second (MBPS). Services sold by MBPS, will be calculated via the industry standard 95% method, unless specified in contract otherwise. MRTG or other bandwidth reporting is available upon request for all services. Client is responsible for all usage, and any corresponding overages fees, that result from a service that may be hacked and/or flooding. Core Media may require a deposit should a client utilize/require large amounts of bandwidth beyond their standard bandwidth allocation. Port Usage: Basic Dedicated & Co-Located servers are installed on 100MBPS unthrottled ports, unless service is sold as a specified port size (ie...10MBPS UNMETERED) or specified/requested as a capped port. Core Media reserves the right to monitor network usage, and if a service significantly exceeds average usage, to throttle the available speed to conserve network resources and to prevent any large billing anomalies. This will generally not include short spikes in usage, but will include, but not be limited to, sustained transfers of significantly larger than average amounts of bandwidth. If at any time any client's data transfer rate affects other Core Media clientele, Core Media reserves the right to throttle and/or disconnect the service causing such a problem. Filtering: Core Media reserves the right to block/filter or throttle ports and/or ip address ranges, at its discretion. This may include, for example, blocking Port 6667 (IRC), denying access from a known-spamming IP address range, or limiting the speed of peer-to-peer file-sharing programs. This may also include giving priority to certain traffic types, such as Voice-over-IP (VOIP) phone call transmissions. Unmetered: Services advertised/sold as "UNMETERED" will not be subject to bandwidth overage fees. Bandwidth is supplied from a shared pool, and is not supplied as guaranteed/dedicated bandwidth. Burstable usage of the UNMETERED service/port is permitted, however, a service that has heavy sustained usage may have their port capped or be asked to upgrade to a dedicated service plan. UNMETERED service is supplied on a "best-effort" basis---which may result in some slowdowns during peak traffic times. Virtual Hosting: Core Media is pleased to offer our Virtual Hosting clientele unlimited traffic/hits and server usage. Unlimited Traffic/Hits refers to the number of visitors to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data transfer. Your account is still limited to the allowed bandwidth/data transfer included with your selected package. To maintain the integrity of our service, the following usage may be limited/disallowed on Virtual Hosting service: * Banner, graphic, or CGI scripts running from the service, and being utilized on other domains/websites * Large graphic or download archives/galleries * Large chat room gatherings * Heavy system resource utilization If you do not qualify for unlimited traffic/hits, your account may be required to be upgraded, or, Core Media may relocate your site to a different server and/or IP address, to reduce the load on the server on which you are currently residing. Virtual Private Servers (VPS): To maintain the integrity of our service, VPS service that utilizes heavy amounts of system resources may be required to be upgraded, or, Core Media may relocate your site to a different server and/or IP address, to reduce the load on the server on which you are currently residing. Backup Service: To maintain the integrity of our service, Core Media may relocate your backup service to a different server and/or IP address, to reduce the load on the server on which you are currently residing. Download/FTP sites, web-serving (http), and/or usage that results in heavy upstream/outgoing bandwidth consumption beyond that of normal backup operations is not permitted on the backup service. This service is meant for the backup/restore/sharing/storing of data/files, and not for usage normally performed by web/database servers. Abusive Clientele: Core Media may at it's discretion suspend or terminate service of any client that is abusive/harassing to Core Media and/or Core Media employees. Examples of such activity include, but are not limited to; * Verbal abuse - cursing, yelling, threatening, etc... * Ongoing disregard for warnings or notices * Consistent mistakes/errors/changes causing unnecessary workload * Spamming Core Media email addresses, ticket systems, or servers * Continuous involvement in flood/DDOS activity, hacked services, or other ongoing non-permitted usage * Consistent late payments or responses * Issuing a chargeback or bouncing a payment * Continuous activation of problematic end-users * Activity which affects the service(s) of other Core Media clientele.

Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Core Media is proud to offer an exceptional level of performance, reliability, and service. That is why we are making commitments to our customers in the form of a Service Level Agreement (SLA) which provides certain rights and remedies regarding the performance of the Core Media network. The Core Media Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees our network/equipment reliability and performance. This Service Level Agreement (SLA) applies to customers of Core Media who have a Dedicated Server. Uptime Guarantee: Core Media strives to maintain a 99.5% network and server uptime service level. This uptime percentage is a monthly figure, and is is calculated solely by Core Media monitoring systems or Core Media authorized/contracted outside monitoring services. If Core Media fails to meet it's 99.5% uptime guarantee, and it is not due to one of the exceptions below, credits will be made available to each client, upon request, on a case by case basis. Core Media does not credit a full month's service for minor downtime. This would not be financially healthy for Core Media, and in turn would only negatively affect the service level Core Media provides to you. "Partial refunds for partial downtime" is our standard policy. In extreme circumstances, Core Media may distribute full month credits, but this is dealt with on a case by case basis. Details on how credit amounts are calculated can be found below. Exceptions: Customer shall not receive any credits under this SLA in connection with any failure or deficiency of the Core Media network caused by or associated with: * Circumstances beyond reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of any governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage, embargo, "Acts of God" (ie...fire, flood, earthquake, tornado, etc...), strike or other labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in transportation, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third party services, failure of third party software or inability to obtain raw materials, supplies, or power used in or equipment needed for provision of the Service Level Agreement * Telco Failure * Backbone peering point issues * Scheduled maintenance for hardware/software upgrades * Hardware failure (faulty hardware is rare, but cannot be predicted nor avoided). Core Media utilizes only name brand hardware of the highest quality and performance. * Software bugs/flaws (Expolits and bugs may develop that cause security issues or downtime) * DNS issues not within the direct control of Core Media * Network floods, hacks, attacks from outside parties or individuals * Failure or error of any Core Media monitoring or measurement system * Client?s acts or omissions, including without limitation, any negligence, willful misconduct, or use of Core Media service(s) in breach of Core Media Policy and Service Guidelines (AUP), by Client or others authorized by Client. Connectivity: Core Media goal is to make the Core Media network available to Client free of outages for 99.5% of the time. An "outage? is defined as an instance in which Client is unable to transmit and receive IP packets due to a Core Media service failure for more than 15 consecutive minutes, excluding service failures relating to Core Media scheduled maintenance and upgrades. The Core Media network does not include client premises equipment or any Telco access facilities connecting Client's premises to such infrastructure. Core Media goal is to keep Average Round-Trip Latency on the Core Media network to 85 milliseconds or less. Core Media defines ?Average Round-Trip Latency?, with respect to a given month, as the average time required for round-trip packet transfers between the Core Media network and major US backbone peering points during such month, as measured by Core Media. Core Media goal is to keep Average Packet Loss on the Core Media network to 1% or less. Core Media defines ?Average Packet Loss?, with respect to a given month, as the average percentage of IP packets transmitted on the Core Media network during such month that are not successfully delivered, as measured by Core Media. Measurement: Core Media will periodically (on average every 5 minutes) monitor Core Media network and server availability using software and hardware components capable of measuring application traffic and responses. Client acknowledges that that such measurements may not measure the exact path traversed by Client?s internet connection, and that such measurements constitute measurements across the Core Media network but not other networks to which Client may connect. Core Media reserves the right to periodically change the measurement points and methodologies it uses without notice to Client. Full network and server reporting will be posted to a location designated by Core Media and made available to Client. Hardware Failure: Core Media stands behind all equipment on our network. Faulty hardware is rare, but cannot be predicted nor avoided. Core Media utilizes only name brand hardware of the highest quality and performance. Core Media will replace all faulty hardware affecting performance levels of equipment within 48 hours, which includes hardware issues that cause server crashes or speed issues. Hardware failure resulting in complete network/server outage/downtime will be corrected within two hours of problem identification. Router failure is an exception to this SLA guarantee, and may require on-site Cisco? engineers or backbone provider emergency personnel to correct the problem. Router failure is governed by current Core Media contracts with Cisco? and backbone providers in regard to the emergency repair service in case of such an issue. Core Media will replace all faulty hardware on dedicated servers (rented or leased servers), at no charge to the Client, with an unlimited free replacement policy.
