ParaNexus
Web Space Terms of
Service (TOS)
Domain Registration Agreement
(for domain registrations only)
For ParaNexus.org paid members, ParaNexus
agrees to provide web space as part of a member’s dues. Members are allowed
to use the web space for anomalous education and research websites. Your use of ParaNexus
web space services constitutes your
agreement with the terms in this document.
Account Setup / Email on file
We will setup your account after
we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have
screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to
provide us with an email address which is not at the domain(s) you are
signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact
you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It
is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current or
up to date at all times. Providing false contact information of any kind
may result in the termination of your account.
Please Note: You may not use a
common free email address as your account email. Free email addresses
are from Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, MSN, and the like. If you sign up with a
free email address, your account will be put on hold until you provide us
with a non-free email address. Examples of non-free email addresses are from your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as Comcast or Charter, your own
domain server, or a paid service. This policy is to discourage spammers and
prevent undeliverable system emails due to overzealous spam protection.
We do not allow AOL email addresses because of
AOL's strict spam policy that limits even legitimate emails.
Site Content
All services provided by ParaNexus may be used for lawful purposes only

presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any
United States (or any other country) law is prohibited. This includes, but
is not limited to: copyrighted material, material that is threatening,
obscene, pornographic, hate-based, prejudiced against race or nationality,
or material protected by trade secrets and other statue. The subscriber

resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any
other party.

ParaNexus reserves the right to

or threatening is prohibited and will be removed from our servers with or
without notice. Failure to respond to email from our admin department
concerning abuse within 48 hours may result in the suspension or
termination of your services. All abuse issues must be dealt with via
email and will have a response within 48 hours.
Background Running Programs
ParaNexus not allow
background-running programs. This includes any IRC related software such
as bouncers and bots. In certain cases we may allow programs to run
continually in the background, these are considered on a one to one basis
and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and
operational maintenance needed.
Banned Scripts
You are free to use any scripts you wish provided they do not affect
the normal operations of the server and they are not mentioned
specifically above. Scripts that are commonly known for causing server
disruption include large cgi-based message forums, chat programs,
auctions, and banner exchanges. In the event a script affects normal
server and/or administrative operations, ParaNexus reserves the
right to disable the account pending client cooperation and resolution.
Bandwidth and Web Space Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth and
web space allowance as shown in your cPanel. Should your account pass the allocated amount, we will
notify you immediately, however, we reserve the right to suspend the
account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until
more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account
until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account
and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused bandwidth in
one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Intellectual Property Rights
Material accessible to you through
ParaNexus' services may be subject to protection under the United
States of America (or any other country) copyright laws, or laws
protecting trademarks, trade secrets or proprietary information. Except
when expressly permitted by the owner of such rights, you must not use ParaNexus
web space service in a manner that would infringe, violate,
dilute, or misappropriate any such rights with respect to any material
which you access or receive through the ParaNexus Network. If you
use a domain name in connection with the ParaNexus service or
similar service, you must not use that domain name in violation of any
trademark, service mark, or similar rights of any third party.

Defamatory speech distributed over the Internet can result in civil
liability for the defamer.
Refusal of Service
ParaNexus reserves the right at its sole discretion to refuse or
cancel service. Violation of any of ParaNexus' Charter or Rules and
Regulations could result in a warning, suspension, or possible account
termination.
Spam or Unsolicited E-Mail
You must not use the ParaNexus web space or any ParaNexus web space email address in connection with the
transmission of spam, flames, mail bombs, or substantially similar,
unsolicited email messages. Your domain may not be referenced as
originator, intermediary, or reply-to address in any of the above. This
prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from
another service that in any way implicates the use of the ParaNexus
Network, ParaNexus equipment or any ParaNexus web space
email address. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in
violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has
not requested or invited the message. For purposes of this provision,
merely making one's email address accessible to the public will not
constitute a request or invitation to receive messages.

not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited
to SPAM sent via fax, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups.

violation. Lastly, ParaNexus reserves the right to determine what
violates this policy. As such, any violation may result in cancellation of
services without refund.
Abuse
Any attempts to undermine, slander, libel, threaten, or cause harm to
a ParaNexus server, customer, staff member, or the organization
directly is strictly prohibited and is grounds for immediate termination
without refund. In addition, we will pursue all attempts to the fullest
extent of the law. Abuse reports may be sent to
abuse@paranexus.net.

allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party and (3)
copyright infringement. Customer agrees to limit the liability of
ParaNexus to the amount paid for service.

character and formatting restrictions as apply to all registrations in the
Registry TLD. You understand that trademark or service mark registrations
from the supplemental or equivalent Registry of any country, or from
individual states or provinces of a nation, will not be accepted. Subject
to the same character and formatting restrictions as apply to all
registrations in the Registry TLD, if a trademark or service mark
registration incorporates design elements, the ASCII character portion of

registered;

(3) the country of registration; and

agreement of Global Name Registry ("Registry Operator") with the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appl-03jul01.htm;
(4) if a Phase I Defensive Registration is successfully challenged on the
basis that it did not meet the applicable Eligibility Requirements, the
Defensive Registrant will thereafter be required to demonstrate, at its
expense, that it meets the Eligibility Requirements for Phase I Defensive
Registrations for all other Phase I Defensive Registrations that it
registered within .NAME through any Registrar. In the event that the
Defensive Registrant is unable to demonstrate the foregoing with respect
to any such Phase I Defensive Registration(s), those Defensive
Registration(s) will be cancelled;

Registrations within .NAME and is available at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/name/registry-agmt-appm-03jul01.htm.
5. CONSENT

individuals to share a part of their space. For example, if you have filed
a Defensive Registration on PQR (which blocks out ANYSTRING.PQR.name and
PQR.ANYSTRING.name), you may be asked to give consent to John Pqr to
register JOHN.PQR.name if he can prove that PQR is his name. In such a
