You agree to supply appropriate payment for the services received from IDC Thailand Co. Ltd., in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. You agree that until and unless you notify IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis. This includes when accounts are suspended. When an account's invoices are paid outside of the 10 day grace period, invoices will not be automatically generated. However, after the customer notifies IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. of their intent to resume service, invoices will be manually generated and payment expected for the time the account was suspended. Accounts are terminated 60 days after suspention, once terminated there is no way for files, databases, emails, etc. to be recovered.

Cancellations must be done in writing via the cancellation form provided in the account manager. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all necessary information with you via the account manager ticketing system, we will inform you that your account has been canceled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject for your reference, and for verification purposes. You should immediately receive an automatic "Your request has been received..." email with a tracking number. An employee will confirm your request (and process your cancellation) shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, or did not receive the automatic confirmation email within a few minutes after submitting your cancellation, please contact us immediately. We require that cancellations of service are done through the online account manager cancellation form to:
(a) confirm your identity,
(b) confirm in writing you are prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and
(c) document the request.

This process reduces the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and ensures you are aware that the files, emails, and account may be removed immediately after a cancellation request is processed. Remember it is your responsibility to assure the account passwords are secure and your contact information is kept up to date, this will ensure you have been notified of cancellation requests, sending cancellation requests through email will not be responded to.

As a client of IDC Thailand Co. Ltd., it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date, and that all invoices are paid on time. You agree that until and unless you notify IDC Thailand Co.

5.) Backups and Data Loss
Your use of this service is at your sole risk. Our backup service is provided as a courtesy. IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate files and data stored on IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. servers. Backups will not be provided for accounts that have been suspended or terminated for any reason unless otherwise agreed to in writing by IDC Thailand Co. Ltd..

As a courtesy we backup up client accounts up to 10GB or 100,000 Inodes, which the backup runs once a week. If your files take up more space than this you can purchase backup storage from the addons section in your account manager. Without purchasing backup storage we will not have any stored backups and it is your responsibility to have copies of your files in case anything happens to your website in order for you to recover your data.

We do not charge for restoring websites nor do we charge to restore websites over 10GB provided that you upload the files in a .gz format into your hosting space. If we need to download the files then upload them there will be additional fees depending on the file size. If your website is under 10GB then we have a stored backup copy of it and on request will restore the backup. If we have to manage a restore from a file provided by the client and it doesn't pass our virus software we will not continue with the restore.

Some restore exceptions to consider:
* If your account is suspended no backups are run
* If your account is terminated or you request a cancelation the backups are automatically deleted.
* Regular backups can't restore a single file or single database. It is an entire account restore (unless you use our offsite backup system)
* We hold only one backup, if you need a restore because of a single file then the entire account gets restored to the last backup date, which deletes anything more recent.
* We do not send copies of backups, you can create a backup from your cPanel and download it provided you have enough space to create the backup. We periodically run a cleanup script which can delete backups along with other zipped up files and junk mail. (Security reasons) We suggest if you run a cPanel backup to download it and keep those types of files on your local computer.

6.) Cancellations and Refunds
IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or otherwise restrict access to the account at any time with or without notice. If an account has been cancelled for any violations of our terms of service no refund of un–used time will be issed.

Any abuse of our staff in any medium or format will result in the suspension or termination of your services.

Customers may cancel at any time via the cancellation link located in there account manager, emails will not be considered as cancellation requests. IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. does not provide a money back guarantee, if you are unsure if our web hosting fits your needs please open a support request ticket to discuss your exact needs. IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. will not be held responsably for any third party scripts provided through the control panel, it is your responsability to understand them and check with the builders of those scripts, IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. provides them purly as a courtesy. It is your sole responsability to keep all files in your hosting account up to date, files found to be outdated and/or a security risk IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. reserves the right to remove the script/s with or without further notice.

There are no refunds on shared hosting, reseller hosting, dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, or domain name purchases.

Violations of the Terms of Service will waive your right to access any part of the system.

7. Resource Usage

User may not:
a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
b) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
c) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
d) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
e) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
f) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
g) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
h) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
i) When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include("https://idcthailand.co.th/whmcs-bridge/?ccce=include")

It is your responsibility to notify us in advance if you website needs high resource usage, Joomla, Megento, and WordPress can be websites that require special needs, it is your responsibility to advise us of these sites. If you host a site with high resource needs and it affects the servers performence creating: downtime and/or no connections because of these sites using all of the resources, you will be responsible for the costs associated with the downtime.

7b.) INODES
The use of more than 100,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken a future suspension will occur. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, and/or have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension or terminated. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose "Mail", then "Default Address", "Set Default Address", and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

7c.) Backup Limit
Any shared account using more than 10 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off weekly backup. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive which helps protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure. But should in no way be considered a backup you should always have your files and databases stored on your local machine.

8.) Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated an unlimited monthly bandwidth allowance. Should your account bandwidth usage be deemed survere, we will notify you to discuss better options.

9.) Uptime Guarantee
If your shared hosting has any physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of IDC Thailand Co. Ltd. dependant upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact us with justification. All requests must be made in writing via the ticketing system. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared solutions. While the server is under any sort of emergency maintenance whether notified or not then the guarantee is not in affect.

10.) Reseller:
