1. OVERVIEW
This Hosting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Ply Host and you, and is made effective as of the date of electronic acceptance. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of Ply Host’s Hosting services (the “Services”), and represents the entire agreement between you and Ply Host concerning the subject matter hereof.

Your electronic acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with our Universal Terms Of Service Agreement, which is incorporated herein by this reference, and any other agreements or policies that are expressly incorporated herein.

The terms “we”, “us” or “our” shall refer to Ply Host. The terms “you”, “your”, “User” or “customer” shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, change or modify this Agreement, any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, and any limits or restrictions on the Services, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to this Site. Your use of the Services after such changes or modifications shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement and any limitations to the Services as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement and any Service limitations as last revised, do not continue to use the Services. We may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email. It is therefore very important that you keep your shopper account information current. We assume no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate email address.


2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
We offer varying plans of Hosting Services:

Web Hosting. If you purchase Web Hosting, your site is placed within one or more servers and resources are shared between many customers on the same servers; however, your site is given a unique address (DNS).

Virtual Private Server (“VPS”). If you purchase VPS, you will share a server with other customers, but you will have full control over your server space and the complete configuration of your virtual instance on the server. You will have administrator (root) access and a dedicated IP address.


3. LIMITATIONS; ACCOUNT TERMINATION
Migration of Servers. You acknowledge and agree that as a normal course of business, it may be necessary for us to migrate our servers. As a result, even if you have a dedicated IP, you may be assigned a different IP number. We do not warrant that you will be able to consistently maintain your given IP numbers.

Termination of Services. You acknowledge and agree that upon expiration or termination of your Services, you must discontinue use of the Services and relinquish use of the IP addresses and server names assigned to you in connection with Services, including pointing the domain name system (“DNS”) for your domain name(s) away from our servers. Prior to termination of the Services, you are responsible for moving your website or server content off our servers. We will not transfer or FTP your website or server content to another provider. If you fail to move your website or server content off our servers prior to cancellation, then all such content will be deleted and we will not be able to provide a copy of such content.

Free Products Credits. Upon termination of the Services, all free products provided as part of the Services will be cancelled or revoked.


4. YOUR OBLIGATIONS
Abusive Activities. You acknowledge and agree that you may not use our servers and your website as a source, intermediary, reply to address, or destination address for mail bombs, Internet packet flooding, packet corruption, denial of service, or other abusive activities. Server hacking or other perpetration of security breaches is prohibited and we reserve the right to remove sites containing information about hacking or links to such information. Use of your website as an anonymous gateway is prohibited. We prohibit the use of software or scripts run on our servers that cause the server to load beyond a reasonable level, as determined by us. You agree that we reserve the right to remove your website temporarily or permanently from our servers if you are in violation of this Agreement and/or there are activities that threaten the stability of our network. You acknowledge and agree that all websites associated with your hosting account may be removed if one website is in violation of this Agreement. In addition to the General Rules of Conduct listed in our Universal Terms of Service, you agree not to engage in unacceptable use of the Services, which includes, without limitation, use of the Services to: (1) disseminate or transmit any material that, to a reasonable person may be grossly offensive, vulgar or malicious; (2) attempt to mislead any person as to the identity, source or origin of any communication; (3) interfere, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any computer system, server, network or account for which you do not have authorization to access or at a level exceeding your authorization; (4) engage in any other activity deemed by us to be in conflict with the spirit or intent of this Agreement or any of our policies; or (5) use your server as an “open relay” or for similar purposes.

We prohibit the running of a public recursive DNS service on any of our servers. All recursive DNS servers must be secured to allow only internal network access or a limited set of IP addresses. We actively scan for the presence of public DNS services and reserve the right to remove any servers from the network that violate this restriction.

Storage and Security. You shall be solely responsible for undertaking measures to: (1) prevent any loss or damage to your website or server content; (2) maintain independent archival and backup copies of your website or server content; and (3) ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of all your website or server content transmitted through or stored on our servers.

Our servers are not an archive and we shall have no liability to you or any other person for loss, damage or destruction of any of your content. The Services are not intended to provide a PCI (Payment Card Industry) or HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliant environment and therefore should not be used or considered as one. You shall not use Ply Host Services in any way that shall impair the functioning or operation of it or any equipment used to operate it. Included, but not limited to, you shall not use the Services as: (1) a repository or storage for files; and/or (2) a place to store material that can be downloaded through other websites. If we detect an infringement of aforementioned restrictions, you may be issued a disk space violation warning at 10GB, and will be required to reduce the number of used gigabytes in your account. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend disk write functionality, in our sole discretion, when account size reaches 10GB. You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to carry out a forensic examination in the event of a compromise to your server or account.

Data Protection and Security.  You will not provide us any personal information with respect to Your clients, visitors, end-users (Users of Users). However, you acknowledge that Ply Host may in certain limited cases have access to such information and communications systems for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. In cases of such limited access Ply Host will not become controller of any such data. You, when controlling and operating your websites in relation to Hosting Services, shall be considered as the data controllers of such personal data of Users-of-Users for the purposes of General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (GDPR). You shall be responsible and liable for compliance with applicable privacy and personal data protection requirements (including, but not limited to requirements laid down by GDPR, which may be applicable to any personal information, data or content collected through, stored or otherwise processed in relation to Hosting Services on your website or server content).  You are and shall remain responsible for safety, legality, integrity and authorized usage of your Users-of-Users’ personal data, and for obtaining consents, permissions and providing fair processing notices required for processing of such information. 

Without limitations to the generality of the foregoing, you shall be solely responsible for installation of organizational and technical security measures sufficiently protecting personal data stored or processed on your website or server.
