Customer Security Responsibilities
The customer is solely responsible
for any breaches of security affecting servers under
customer control. If a customer's server is involved
in an attack on another server or system, it will
be shut down and an immediate investigation will be
launched to determine the cause/source of the attack.
In such event, the customer is responsible for the
cost to rectify any damage done to the customer's
server and any other requirement affected by the security
breach.
IRC
CRR does not allows Dedicated Server customers the
use of IRC in CRR Network.
Billing for Network Resources
The customer understands that the
customer is responsible for paying for any network
resources that are used to connect the customer's
server to the Internet. The customer may request that
the customer's server be disconnected from the Internet,
but the customer will still be responsible for paying
for any network resources used up to the point of
suspension or cancellation.

term "spamming" also includes, but is not limited
to, maintaining an open SMTP policy, engaging in spamming

in the spam a web site hosted on a CRR server, and

or engaging in denial of service attacks is prohibited.
It is also prohibited for any customer to engage in
other activity that is intended to disrupt or interfere
with, or that results in the disruption of or interference
with, the ability of others to effectively use CRR’s
services and equipment (or any connected network,
system, service or equipment) or conduct their business
over the Internet.
Privacy
CRR is concerned with the privacy
of on-line communications and web sites. In general,
the Internet is neither more nor less secure than
other means of communication, including mail, facsimile,
and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted
and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence,
however, CRR urges its customers to assume that all
of their on-line communications are insecure. CRR
cannot take any responsibility for the security of
information transmitted over CRR's facilities.
Customer Responsibility
Customers are required to use the
CRR network responsibly. This includes respecting
the other customers of CRR. CRR reserves the right
to suspend and/or cancel service with any customer
who uses the CRR network in such a way that adversely
affects other CRR customers. While CRR may monitor
its service electronically to determine that its facilities
are operating satisfactorily, as a general practice,
CRR does not monitor its customers' communications
or activities to determine whether they are in compliance
with the TOU. However, when CRR becomes aware of any
violation of the TOU or other user agreements, CRR
may take any action to stop or correct such violation,
including, but not limited to, denying access to CRR’s
services and equipment or to the Internet. In addition,
CRR may take action against a customer or a customer
of such customer because of the activities of such
customer. CRR anticipates that customers who offer
Internet services will cooperate with CRR in any corrective
or preventive action that CRR deems necessary. Failure
to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures
is a violation of CRR policy and CRR reserves the
right to take any such action even though such action
may affect other customers of the CRR customer.
CRR and its , affiliates and associates
shall not be liable, at any time for damages (including,
without limitation, damages for loss of business projects,
or loss of profits) arising in contract, tort or otherwise
from the use of or inability to use the Service, or
any of its contents, or from any action taken (or
refrained from being taken) as a result of using the
Service or any such contents or for any failure of
performance, error, omission, interruption, deletion,
defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer
virus, communications line failure, theft or destruction
or unauthorised access to, alteration of, or use of
information contained on the service. No representations,
warranties or guarantees whatsoever are made as to
the accuracy, adequacy, reliability, completeness,
suitability or applicability of the information to
a particular situation. You agree that CRR has no
responsibility or liability including but not limiting
to the deletion, corruption, loss or failure to store
any messages or content / data maintained or transmitted
by any CRR Service. You acknowledge and agree that
no compensation shall be payable whatsoever with respect
to the aforesaid by CRR. CRR MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT
THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE
OR ERROR-FREE.
Actions Taken by CRR
The failure by a customer to meet
or follow any of the TOU is grounds for account deactivation.
CRR will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of the TOU. CRR reserves the right to
remove any account without prior notice and to refuse
service to anyone at any time. When CRR becomes aware
of an alleged violation of its TOU, CRR will initiate
an investigation. During the investigation, CRR may
restrict a customer's access in order to prevent further
potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the
severity of the violation, CRR may, at its sole discretion,
restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's web hosting
account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such
violation is a criminal offense, CRR will notify the
appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation.
An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the
TOU if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes
disruptive use of the Internet. CRR does not issue
credits for any outages incurred through service disablement.
Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations,
for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to
the operation of the network and business operations
supported by the network, and to respond to complaints
incurred by CRR.

hold harmless, and indemnify CRR, any third party
entity related to CRR (including, without limitation,
