Network Nirvana will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Unlimited Hits & Server Resource Usage:

Network Nirvana is pleased to offer our clients unlimited hits, and server usage. Unlimited Hits refers to the number of visitors to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data transfer. Your account is still limited to the alotted bandwidth/data transfer included with your selected package. To maintain the integrity of our services the following usage may incur additional fees:

Network Nirvana will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of usage limitations. Bandwidth/data transfer will go unmonitored until you reach your account limit, then normal over-usage data transfer costs will apply.

Network Nirvana does allow clients to run a provided, html based, chatroom. Since most chatrooms tend to be large system hogs custom programs of this type are not allowed.

Background Processes/Programs:

Network Nirvana may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one on one basis and an extra charge may be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

Network Nirvana currently does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Multiple Connections:

Multiple telnet and ftp sessions are allowed on a single hosting account.

Idle Timeouts:

Network Nirvana may disconnect any idle connection to the network.
Average timeouts are:
FTP - 300 seconds
Telnet - 2 hours

Commercial Advertising - Email:

Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a Network Nirvana server or using an email address that is maintained by Network Nirvana is STRICTLY prohibited. For general reference, we consider spam any email that is sent to more than 10 people at a time that did not ask for it to be sent to them.
Network Nirvana will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Opt-In email is acceptable, as long as Opt-Out/Removal request are fully honored.  Please make an effort to limit outgoing mail on your account to no more than 1000 pieces per DAY and no more than 20 pieces per minute.  Many times we have seen sites push over 1000 emails in one hit, this causes extreme server loads and prevents other people from accessing server services.  Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12AM - 8AM EST.

Server Abuse:

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a Network Nirvana server or customer of Network Nirvana is strictly prohibited. Network Nirvana will pursue legal action to the fullest extent for all abuse of the Network Nirvana network.

Account Suspension/De-Activation:

If any terms or conditions are not followed it may result in grounds for account suspension or de-activation. Network Nirvana reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice.  If Network Nirvana deactivates your account(s) for violating policy, you will forfeit your rights to a refund...and none will be given.  Normal policy is a warning first, and account suspension or de-activation after the second offense. Serious offenses may cause immediate de-activation.
