The AUP may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that change to the AUP by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.

This Agreement shall be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia, applicable to contracts enforceable in that state. Venue will be Fulton County, Georgia.

1. Disclosure to Law Enforcement: The AUP specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company may disclose any and all subscriber information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc. to any law enforcement agent who makes a written request without further consent or notification to the Subscriber. In addition Tulix Systems shall have the right to terminate all service set forth in this Agreement.

2. Service Rates: Subscriber acknowledges that the nature of the service furnished and the initial rates and charges have been communicated to Subscriber. Subscriber is aware that the Company may prospectively change the specified rates and charges from time to time. The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers. Support rates and Development/Programming rates are different, and work will be billed at the then current Tulix hourly rate.

3. Payment: Establishment of service is dependent upon receipt by the Company of payment of stated charges. Subsequent payments are due in advance on the anniversary date of the month for that month's service.

8.Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, subscriber agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company. Subscriber further acknowledges that the company's liability for its own negligence may not in any event exceed an amount equivalent to charges payable by subscriber for 30 days of services during the period damages occurred. In no event shall the company be liable for any special or consequential damages, loss or injury.

9. New Domain Accounts: All new webhosting accounts involving new domains will be set up and entered into our name servers within 3 to 5 business days. Due to unforeseen complications, however, this process may sometimes require up to 7 business days. Once entered into our name servers, domain propagation usually takes 2 to 5 business days.

10. Transfer of Domains: New webhosting accounts which involve the transfer of a domain from another provider to Tulix Systems.com will require a minimum of seven (7) days to be set up and entered into our DNS servers. In some cases, such transfers may take up to sixty (60) days. Due to the unpredictable nature of the transfer process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific transfer may take. If the customer cancels service during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered earned.

11. Support Boundaries: Tulix Systems provides 24 x 7 technical support to our subscribers (except for some holidays and extenuating circumstances.) We limit our technical support to our area of expertise, via our support system only. Support via telephone is not available at this time. The following is our guidelines when providing support: Tulix Systems provides support related to the physical functioning of your server or virtual site. Tulix Systems does not offer tech support for application specific issues such as cgi programming, html, or any other such issue. Actual support definitions are based on the level of support service defined in the Subscriber's specific management plan. Customers of Tulix Systems must read the Service Level Agreement (SLA) associated with their management plan to determine the support details. We encourage you to visit our forums, frequently asked questions (FAQ) section, or use our trouble ticket system to resolve issues. Lastly, the Help files in the program you are using may have the answer to your question so please do investigate these resources before utilizing tech support. Support charges may apply.

12. SPAM and Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE): Tulix Systems takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that customers of Tulix Systems may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers of Tulix Systems may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP (TCP port 25) connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam we reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk email being sent from servers.

a. Violation of Tulix Systems' SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, Tulix Systems will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, Tulix Systems may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, Tulix Systems may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer's account. Further, Tulix Systems reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. Tulix Systems will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.

b. First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $250 per each culprit IP, and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $500 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $195 per hour that Tulix Systems personnel must spend to investigate the matter. PLEASE, DO NOT SPAM from your account.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

BEGINNING IMMEDIATELY, anyone hosting websites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice.

In extreme cases, law enforcement will be contacted regarding the activity. The customer will not be credited for the time the customer's machines were suspended.
