Reseller

You provide billing to your customers. We do not bill your customers. We bill you for the domain name and space, then you turn around and bill them for your cost from us and your services in addition to that.
Actual or attempted violations of policy by a customer's end user shall be considered violations of the policy by the customer regardless of intention and will be acted upon accordingly.
Your customers are given a limited amount of transfer and if we feel that one of your customers are using up more transfer than allocated or are taking up too much of the CPU usage then we will need to pass some of the extra cost on to you and you will need to pass it on to your customer. You will need to put that in your terms and conditions for the hosting. You can monitor your customers bandwidth in their control panel.
You agree that neither you nor your customers can hold us responsible for services that you offer.
Your customers have to abide by the same terms and conditions as you do, or we have the right to cancel any of your reseller accounts.
If you abuse our services, we reserve the right to cancel your account, which will also cancel your customers accounts.
