Hosting Polices and Conditions

By hosting with DeVore Technologies Inc. you are agreeing with the terms of these agreements. These agreements are subject to change at any point in time without notification to the client.

Web Site Hosting Agreement

1. Services
a. Services. Host agrees to perform and provide to Client, services consisting of non-exclusive electronic access to a digital information processing, transmission and storage system ("Server") to store Client's web site ("Site") and make the Site available on and via the global computer communications network ("Internet") as specified herein and in Exhibit A ("Payment Terms and Schedules"). The Hosting Services and any Additional Services are collectively referred to as the "Services." Client agrees that the Services shall not include any web site development services, authorship or creation with respect to the Site.

b. Availability of Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Host shall attempt to provide the Services for twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week throughout the term of this Agreement. Client agrees that from time to time the Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Host may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond the control of Host or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Host, including, without limitation, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network congestion or other failures. Client agrees that Host has no control, nor does it guarantee, availability of Services on a continuous or uninterrupted basis. Notification will be made via email no less than 10 business days in advance to the Client by the Host for planned outages, including expected length of time for outage. Notification of unplanned or emergency outages will be made via email to the Client by the Host as needed and will include an estimate of time to return normal site functionality.

c. Host Materials. In connection with performance of the Services and at the sole discretion of Host with no obligation, Host may provide to Client certain materials, including, without limitation, computer software (in object code or source code form), data, documentation or information developed or provided by Host or its suppliers under this Agreement, domain names, electronic mail addresses and other network addresses assigned to Client, and other know-how, methodologies, equipment, and processes used by Host to provide the Services to Client ("Host Materials").

d. Client Content. Client shall be solely responsible for providing, updating, uploading and maintaining the Site and any and all files, pages, data, works, information and/or materials on, within, displayed, linked or transmitted to, from or through the Site, including, without limitation, trade or service marks, images, photographs, illustrations, graphics, audio clips, video clips, email or other messages, metatags, domain names, software and text ("Client Content"). The Client Content shall also include any registered domain names provided by Client or registered on behalf of Client in connection with the Services.

e. Abuse of Services. Any use of Cleveland Webworks system resources that disrupts the normal use of the system for other Cleveland Webworks customers is considered to be abuse of system resources and is grounds for administrative intervention. Some examples of system abuse include but are not limited to spawning dozens of processes, consuming excessive amounts of memory or CPU for long periods of time, spamming or mass emailing using internal or external mail and/or news servers. Without limiting the scope of the above, Cleveland Webworks forbids the storage of illegal/pirated software (warez), the use of any type of IRC bot and/or proxy (including, but not limited to, bnc and eggdrop) and the storage and use of any type of software intended for hacking/cracking purposes.

Depending on the nature and the severity of the abuse, the user may receive an E-mail warning or have their account suspended by Cleveland Webworks Technical Support. If the misuse is unintentional, the suspension may be rescinded following discussion with Cleveland Webworks Technical Support. If the misuse is intentional, the suspension may be rescinded at the discretion of the Operations Manager, and may require the payment of a service reconnection charge. Occasionally, unintentional misuse is misclassified as intentional misuse. Customers who believe their activity has been misclassified may appeal to the Operations Manager.

Violations of any of the Cleveland Webworks conditions of use are unethical and may be criminal offenses. You are expected to report to Cleveland Webworks any information you may have concerning instances in which the conditions of use have been or are being violated. When Cleveland Webworks becomes aware of possible violations, we will initiate an investigation. At the same time, in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity, Cleveland Webworks may suspend access to services to the individual account in question. Confirmation of violations may result in cancellation of the individual account and/or criminal prosecution. The account suspension may be rescinded at the discretion of the Operations Manager.

2. Licenses and Proprietary Rights
a. License of Client Content. Client grants to Host, and Host accepts from Client, a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty free license to copy, display, use and transmit on and via the Internet the code created to deliver the Client Content. All distribution of content will be for the Client's use and benefit and at the Client's discretion.

b. License of Host Materials. In consideration of Client's payment of all compensation to Host pursuant to Section 4 and Exhibit A, Host grants to Client, and Client accepts from Host, a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license, for the term of this Agreement, to copy and use the Host Materials, solely in connection with the Site and for Client's internal business purposes.

Privacy
COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. Cleveland Webworks gathers two types of information about users:
1. Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
2. Information Cleveland Webworks gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Cleveland Webworks divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

USAGE TRACKING
Cleveland Webworks tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Cleveland Webworks does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Cleveland Webworks sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

COOKIES
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cleveland Webworks uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.

USE OF INFORMATION
Cleveland Webworks uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Cleveland Webworks never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.

Cleveland Webworks creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

SECURITY
Cleveland Webworks operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by Cleveland Webworks. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
