Revision date: 29 October 2009

All services provided by The Alkaline Diet ("The Alkaline Diet") may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any United States federal, state or city law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret and other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless The Alkaline Diet from any claims resulting from the use of service which damages the subscriber or any other party.

Prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to The Alkaline Diet' servers, or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

Examples of unacceptable content or links:

pirated software
hacker programs or archives
Warez sites

NOTICE: IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS FOUND TO CONTAIN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, ILLEGAL MP3 FILES, PIRATED SOFTWARE, HACKER PROGRAMS, WAREZ PROGRAMS, OR ANY OTHER ILLEGAL FILES, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT NOTICE, AND A $50.00 CANCELLATION FEE WILL APPLY. ADDITIONALLY, The Alkaline Diet WILL NOTIFY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES OF YOUR ACTIONS.

Traffic Usage
All account plans come with a predetermined amount of traffic allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill $1.00 for each gig of traffic exceeded. This amount is not prorated, meaning that 1 mb - 1 gig will be treated and billed as the same.

IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Server Abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of The Alkaline Diet is strictly prohibited. As our customer you are responsible for all your accounts. Should you violate the Terms of Services outlined within, your account will be cancelled without chance of refund.

Refusal of Service
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion.

All sub-networks, distributive hosting sites and dedicated servers of The Alkaline Diet must adhere to the above policies, with the exception of system resources in respect to dedicated servers.

Billing
By the Account Activation Date of each month, The Alkaline Diet shall either:

(1) debit the client's credit card (when such information has been provided by the client); or

(2) deliver, by e-mail or regular mail, an invoice in accordance with the applicable Service Fees for services rendered for the current month. When an invoice is delivered to the client, payment shall be remitted to The Alkaline Diet by no later than the specified payment due date. The Alkaline Diet shall be entitled to immediately terminate this agreement for client's failure to make timely payments. You will be provided with an invoice on a monthly basis. All credit cards are billed automatically on a monthly basis. It is the client's responsibility to ensure that they have sufficient credit to cover this transaction. In the event that there is insufficient credit, we will send an e-mail notification, at which point we will need to be provided with another credit card account number within 24 hours. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, the account, and all accounts under that account plan, will be suspended.

Service Fees
Certain services carry a setup fee charged by The Alkaline Diet to client, which must be paid by client in order to have use of said services. If client terminates this agreement, client shall be responsible for any and all outstanding fees owed to The Alkaline Diet and agrees to pay any and all fees incurred by client. Because the services are provided on a monthly basis, the client will be responsible for service fees incurred each month, regardless of when client provides notice of termination. Thus, for example, if the client provides notice of termination on the 15th day of a particular month, the client will be responsible for service fees for the entire month, and such fees will not be pro-rated or refunded.

Money back guarantee & refund policy
We offer a 60 day Money back guarantee.
Refunds: If client has retained the services for one year and has pre-paid The Alkaline Diet for such services, refunds will be issued for any unused full month of the services, upon client's request. Therefore, if client's account is cancelled at any point during the one-year term, client will be entitled to a refund for the months remaining, after notice given by the 25th day of the preceding month.

Account Deactivations
Any account deactivated due to non-payment will require a reactivation fee of $20.00 prior to reactivation.

Cancellation Refunds
We DO NOT refund partial monthly fees to accounts. We require 30 days notice for a cancellation.

Refusal of Service
We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. The Alkaline Diet will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that the comply with The Alkaline Diet' policy or applicable law. However, when The Alkaline Diet becomes aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or any other action deemed appropriate by The Alkaline Diet.

The Alkaline Diet is also aware that many of its subscribers are themselves providers of Internet services, and that information reaching The Alkaline Diet' facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third party. The Alkaline Diet does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. The Alkaline Diet reserves the right to directly take action against a customer of its subscribers. Also, The Alkaline Diet may take action against the The Alkaline Diet' subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, The Alkaline Diet anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with The Alkaline Diet in any corrective or preventive action that The Alkaline Diet deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of The Alkaline Diet policy.

The Alkaline Diet will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or receive by its subscribers, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. The Alkaline Diet may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, The Alkaline Diet may disclose information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation or governmental request. The Alkaline Diet assumes not obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, The Alkaline Diet may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect The Alkaline Diet and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, The Alkaline Diet will never sell information to other services or outside companies.

The Alkaline Diet expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate The Alkaline Diet policy. Finally, The Alkaline Diet wishes to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify The Alkaline Diet for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or The Alkaline Diet policy resulting in loss to The Alkaline Diet or the bringing of any claim against The Alkaline Diet by any third party. This means that, if The Alkaline Diet is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against The Alkaline Diet, plus costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including The Alkaline Diet and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to emmadeangela@gmail.com.
