The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. We use this information for no other reason.

Contact information from the order forms is used to get in touch with the customer when necessary. Billing information that is collected is used to bill the user for services. Unique identifiers are collected from Web site visitors to verify the user's identity. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site.

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We use strong SSL encryption to ensure your privacy.

Information collected on this site is strictly for our use, NO OTHER OUTSIDE PERSONS MAY VIEW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SUCH BILLING INFORMATION, ETC.

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this Web site, you can contact: info@Webbie.Express As a provider of web site hosting and other Internet-related services, Webbie.Express offers its customer (also known as "Subscribers") and their customers and users the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial and non-commercial information. Webbie.Express respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information. However, when there are competing interests at issue, Webbie.Express reserves the right to take certain preventive or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, Webbie.Express has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement, and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when using Webbie.Express' services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use it, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that Webbie.Express cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information they acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet may be sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because Webbie.Express cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, Webbie.Express cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers resulting from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive or illegal Internet communications.

Webbie.Express may utilize third party systems to gathering site usage metrics to record on-site activity, navigation, heatmaps & visits to our websites for the purpose of increasing ease of use. We do not record sensitive information such as text input fields or credit card details. We utilize services such as Google Analytics, Sessioncam & Clicktale to gather various metrics for insight on how our site is used.

When subscribers disseminate information from the Internet, they must keep in mind that Webbie.Express does not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation and other harmful speech. Also, because the information created is carried over Webbie.Express' network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of Webbie.Express, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may affect Webbie.Express' goodwill, business, reputation or operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate Webbie.Express policy and the Service Agreement when they, their customers, affiliates or subsidiaries engage in prohibited activities.

SPAM unsolicited email & bulk mailing

Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward Webbie.Express, but also because it can overload Webbie.Express' network and disrupt service to Webbie.Express' subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, Webbie.Express will investigate and shutdown the account that is SPAMing. A $250 charge for violating this policy will be charged to the person initiating the SPAM. Furthermore Webbie.Express reserves the right to prosecute for this violation. A $1.00 charge will be assessed PER EMAIL sent should Webbie.Express choose to pursue and prosecute.

By agreeing to this terms of service, Webbie.Express is authorized to access your accounts hosted on our networks; shared, reseller, virtual servers & dedicated servers to investigate SPAM complaints.

Webbie.Express has a zero-tolerance policy for SPAM being sent from our networks. Knowingly allowing SPAM to be sent from your server/account on our network is grouds for immediate temrination without refund for any service.

Audio & video streaming / File storage

We do not permit the use of our hosting for storing/streaming large audio/video files. Small files & normal web traffic streaming is allowed however, large sites with the sole intent of streaming videos are prohibited. This does not apply to "embedding" audio/video from other sites such as Vimeo/YouTube.

Webbie.Express is not for file hosting and distribution - as such, customers may not host any files larger than 1GB in size that are observed to be available for the sole purpose of download or storage only. Files stored on your hosting account MUST be active files relating to an active website. Such files include but are not limited to .ISO, audio/video files, .EXE files. If you are unsure whether your file is against this policy, please contact our support desk.

Excluded from size limits are error log files & backups generated from within the control panels located on our servers. While these items are excluded, we do not permit the use of our hosting services for storing backups. When a backup generated, it should be downloaded, then removed. Our automated systems will remove backups that have not been removed in order to ensure our backups run properly. We also do not permit the use of our servers for storing large zip or compressed files as this can also hinder the ability for us to perform backups efficiently.

For additional information on restricted storage & file usage, please view our KB article here: Backup Storage & File Restriction Information

Abuse, misconduct & security

Webbie.Express practices a zero-tolerance policy for abuse towards our staff. All staff members, no matter the severity of the situation are required to act in a professional manner. Abuse towards a staff member is a direct violation of this agreement & grounds for termination pending the review of a manager.

Using Webbie.Express' network as a means to transmit or post negative, defamatory, harassing, abusive or threatening language is strictly prohibited.

Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message is strictly prohibited.

Accessing, illegally or without authorization, computers, accounts or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's system (often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that may be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e., port scan, stealth scan or other information-gathering activity).

Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service or equipment.

Advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available any software, program, product or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mail bombing, denial of service attacks and piracy of software.

Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.

Webbie.Express reserves the right not to accept postings from newsgroups where we have actual knowledge that the content of the newsgroup violates the AUP.

Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including, but not limited to, advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards and pirating software.

Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that Webbie.Express determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. Webbie.Express will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that the comply with Webbie.Express' policy or applicable law. However, when Webbie.Express becomes aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or any other action deemed appropriate by Webbie.Express.

Webbie.Express performs automated scans for malicious files & known exploits on all servers. We reserve the right to immediately quarantine and/or remove any malicious files found on our network that can harm the reputation of any servers, IP address space or any transmissions to/from our network for customer services. In the event malicious content is found on an account, you, the customer, will be notified by our abuse department. This includes, but is not limited to exploited plugins, themes and any web applications that are actively engaging in malicious activity.

Indemnification

Webbie.Express WordPress installation & configuration services are provided to aid in the ease of use & protection of your WordPress website. We cannot be held liable for security breaches due to additional plugins, changing to less complex passwords or any exploits that are not directly related to our configuration. We outline our scope of work with clients before purchasing. The measures that are performed are strictly "preventative" measures to aid in securing a WordPress site. The addition of plugins & features to your site after the initial work is performed greatly increases the chance of exploitation. All services are performed "as-is" at the time of configuration and Webbie.Express cannot be held liable after the services have been completed.

Use of Webbie.Express online form builder (JotForm) is strictly "at-your-own-risk". While we strive to provide a secure environment, we do not recommend storing personal & confidential information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers and such in the forms. In the event of a security breach, we cannot be held liable. Webbie.Express provides the online form builder (JotForm) as an added feature.

Monitoring & subscriber services

Webbie.Express is also aware that many of its subscribers are themselves providers of Internet services, and that information reaching Webbie.Express' facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third party. Webbie.Express does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. Webbie.Express reserves the right to directly take action against a customer of its subscribers. Also, Webbie.Express may take action against the Webbie.Express' subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, Webbie.Express anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with Webbie.Express in any corrective or preventive action that Webbie.Express deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Webbie.Express policy.

Webbie.Express will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or receive by its subscribers, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. Webbie.Express may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, Webbie.Express may disclose information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation or governmental request. Webbie.Express assumes not obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, Webbie.Express may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect Webbie.Express and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, Webbie.Express will never sell information to other services or outside companies.

Webbie.Express expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate Webbie.Express policy. Finally, Webbie.Express wishes to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify Webbie.Express for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or Webbie.Express policy resulting in loss to Webbie.Express or the bringing of any claim against Webbie.Express by any third party. This means that, if Webbie.Express is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against Webbie.Express, plus costs and attorney's fees. We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including Webbie.Express and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to info@Webbie.Express.

Unmetered fair use bandwidth, databases, email, resellers & domains policy & storage restrictions

Webbie.Express does not set "hard" quota bandwidth limits on shared web hosting accounts. While bandwidth is "unmetered" it does not mean "unlimited". The fair use policy is set to protect from resource abuse. If your bandwidth usage is normal website, email & content serving traffic, we will not limit your usage. We understand there may be times when a website has higher than normal traffic which causes a bandwidth spike; this is not considered abuse.

If your website is used for uploading/downloading large files which consume large amounts of bandwidth continuously, we reserve the right to limit your bandwidth quota to a fair amount; this is considered abuse as your hosting account is not to be used as a "file hosting service". This is not to be confused with hosting files, you may certainly utilize your storage resources included with your plan however.

Audio/Video streaming large amounts can also be considered resource intensive and we recommend against it.

In short, if your account does not affect other customer accounts, and you do not intentionally abuse this policy, you will have no problems and need not worry about bandwidth quotas.

Addon Domains:

While we do not force strict limits on the number of addon domains on every shared hosting account, we do reserve the right to deem a high number of addon domains to be too many. Generally, if the addon domains are affecting the performance of the account, we may recommend using a reseller account.

Resold cPanel accounts (resellers):

Reseller plans do not have a set limit on the number of cPanel accounts you can create. We do reserve the right to deem "too many" for accounts with a large number of resold accounts. In this case, we'd recommend either an additional reseller account on a different server (a discount would apply) or upgrading to a virtual server (VPS) or a dedicated server.

These limitations are based solely on a performance & stability basis to ensure our servers run at optimal performance & availability.

Email:
Accounts that contain large numbers of email accounts are subject to the fair use policy. Accounts found having large number of connections that impact availability to email services to other customers may require an upgrade onto their own server.

Storage Use Restrictions:

We do not permit the use of hosting accounts as long term file storage unless the files are directly related to your website. This includes ISO files, OS IMG files & cPanel generated backup files. cPanel generated backup files will be automatically removed from our servers after 24 hours due to the large amount of resources required to back up "backups". We kindly request that after a cPanel backup is generated, that you immediately download the backup and then remove it from your hosting account. Failing to do so may prevent our R1Soft daily backups from fully completing.

Law enforcement cooperation

Webbie.Express will cooperate fully with local & federal law enforcement & will provide customer information, subscriber documents, files, emails & any other documents with the proper requirements upon requests & approval consultation of our attorney.

Using Webbie.Express' network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material is prohibited. Webbie.Express is required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through its network.

All legal matters should be directed to: legal@Webbie.Express

Reservation of rights

Webbie.Express reserves the right to:

• Modify/Revise this policy at any time without notice
• Refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion (within moral reason)
• Access customer accounts located on Webbie.Express for investigations & compliance audits

Server, network, infrastructure upgrades & modifications

Periodically, Webbie.Express will perform server, network & infrastructure upgrades to ensure our services are compatible & to the latest industry standards. This includes hardware, software, networking practices & security policies. Upgrade procedures span from the server application level (such as PHP, Apache, LiteSpeed, CloudLinux etc) to physical hardware including memory, hard drives, routing & switching components, storage & the like. Please note, as the owner & maintainer of the websites/applications hosted on your account with Webbie.Express, you are responsible for ensuring that your website is kept up to date & is absent of compatibility issues with non-EOL software releases. In the event Webbie.Express performs an upgrade for an EOL (End Of Life) suite, we cannot be held liable for incompatibilites within your web application.

We routinely test our servers & infrastructure for review on current configurations. Durign these testing periods, we may deem certain software to be incompatible going forward and at times may replace certain sofftware. This means if we determine a software suite is no longer able to provide sufficient performance or the like, it may be replaced. In the event a software suite is replaced, we will make all attempts to ensure no "features" are removed that affect customer usability of the hosting platform.

SLA credits are issued at the discression of Webbie.Express. We will compare the dates/times submitted by the Webbie.Express customer with internal monitoring systems, data & server graphing. We do not accept external monitoring services to claim SLA credits.

While we do provide DDOS protection, during the mitigation process, the SLA does not apply to shared, reseller or VPS hosting due to increased latency. We can protect your website and/or server from extended downtime however, DDOS Mitigation is a bandwidth-intensive process. Due to this, during an attack there may be short periods of inaccessibility to your website and/or server.

DDOS Mitigation: Please note, while we provide complimentary DDOS protection, if your website and/or server is continuously attacked, in some instances we may discontinue service. We will make all attempts to mitigate the attack however, if the attack directed towards your website and/or server begins to affect other customer accounts, it will be disabled.
