6. Acceptable Use Policy
An Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) is in effect for hosting service. Any violation of the AUP may result in the immediate cancellation or

7. Resource Allocation
Customer acknowledges that the real-time resources allocated for hosting service are dynamically allocated based on the amount of overall
resources used by Customer. Real-time resources include but are not limited to bandwidth, MySQL connections, email connections, web server
CPU, and web server RAM. Real-time resources may be affected by things such as, but not limited to, bandwidth and disk space used, the number
or size of configured email accounts, the number of web sites configured under hosting service, or the number of or activity on connections
to MySQL databases.
Rocket Host uses Network-attached storage devices to store Customer’s files. The nature of this type of storage requires that NitroIP Hosting
limit the number of files Customer can store with the hosting service to prevent exhaustion of the total number of files permitted on the
storage device. This limit is 81920 files. Customer acknowledges that this limit exists for all hosting service and can not be adjusted.
8. Email Service
The hosting service provided to Customer includes email service. Customer acknowledges that email is not an instant message service and
email delivery may be delayed by many factors beyond Rocket Host control.
Rocket Host employs various techniques to hamper unsolicited email and virus dissemination through email. Customer acknowledges that some
of the techniques may prevent receipt of email from some senders. Rocket Host can assist in determining the cause of the failure but it is
the sender’s responsibility to resolve the condition that caused the failure. Customer agrees that Rocket Host is not responsible and will
not be liable for any outcome related to the failure to receive an email.
Email accounts provided by Rocket Host may not be used for permanent archival of email messages. Rocket Host may, at its sole discretion,
suspend an email account if the email account’s disk usage is abusive or grossly exceeds the normal usage of other customers or detrimentally
affects the service of other customers in any way.
Email accounts have a per mailbox limit of 2 gigabytes and 10,000 email messages, whichever comes first. Once that limit is reached, messages
destined for the affected mailbox will be refused by inbound mail systems using industry standard methods.
Email messages stored in folders of an email account meant to hold deleted messages or messages marked as spam will be purged.
Messages older than 7 days in folders meant to hold deleted messages will be deleted. The folders defined by Rocket Host to be intended to
hold deleted message are ‘Trash’ and ‘Deleted Items’. Messages older than 14 days in folders meant to hold messages marked as spam will be
deleted. The folders defined by Rocket Host to be intended to hold messages marked as spam are ‘Spam’ and ‘Junk’.
Customer acknowledges that email accounts left dormant will be removed. Rocket Host considers an email account dormant that has not been
accessed for a period of 6 months following prior usage or that has never been accessed for a period of 90 days since creation. Customer
agrees that when an email account left dormant is removed the email stored in association with the dormant email account will be deleted.
