Bulk Email: We understand that bulk email is an important mechanism for keeping people informed. However, spamming (unsolicited advertising), from the Terapower Innovation, Corp. network, or spamvertising (unsolicited advertising of) sites hosted on the Terapower Innovation, Corp. network is STRICTLY prohibited.

Legitimate bulk email meets the following criteria:

1) The recipient has confirmed his willingness to be added to the distribution list of the mailing, by responding to a verification email, or, otherwise, verifiably confirming permission. (Evidence of such must be retained and available by request.)

2) Messages include: Valid headers, removal instructions, and information on the method by which the subscribed address was obtained.

If Terapower Innovation, Corp. approaches a client for evidence of confirmation, this request must be honored within 48 hours.

Failure to meet the acceptable criteria for bulk mail may lead to immediate termination.

Additionally, if such actions have caused mail servers or IP address ranges on the Terapower Innovation, Corp. network to be blacklisted, Terapower Innovation, Corp. reserves the right to assess a $150 charge to the customer account. This fee is set to cover administrative costs associated with removal from such lists.

Please make an effort to limit outgoing mail on your account to no more than 1000 pieces per hour. Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12AM - 8AM EST.

Policy Violations:
Terapower Innovation, Corp. may, at any time, audit systems for any data/activity showing potential policy violations.

Warnings: The Terapower Innovation, Corp. Abuse Dept. makes an attempt to contact the client, via email, when the first sign of a possible violation is noted. These alerts are a courtesy. Responses to such alerts are required. If an alert is received from any Terapower Innovation, Corp. staff member, the client is responsible for acknowledging his/her understanding and citing any action planned or taken, within 24 hours of the notice. Failure to do so may lead to suspension. Repeated failure to do so may result in termination.

Unauthorized Usage:
In any case involving unauthorized parties utilizing a Terapower Innovation, Corp. service for abuse/violations, the client will be responsible for stopping all affected applications, until the source of the problem is found and corrected. Terapower Innovation, Corp. may opt to disable all services until the client can perform such an investigation. If the technical support of Terapower Innovation, Corp. is required for the investigation, the client agrees to compensate Terapower Innovation, Corp. at a rate of $95/hour for such services performed, if such services are not included in the client's current service package.

In general, the client is responsible for maintaining a secure system. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Requesting kernel updates
  • Applying application patches

Additionally, Terapower Innovation, Corp. will not be responsible for securing third-party applications.

The client is expected to monitor his/her system(s) and/or service(s). Resource usage should be maintained within the level outlined in the service contract. Abuse caused by end-users or unauthorized parties may increase resource usage and it should be noted that overage fees may apply.

Further details of technical support provided can be found in the Terapower Innovation, Corp. Managed Services Definition and Backup Policy down bellow.

Resource Usage:
Terapower Innovation, Corp. will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of resource usage limitations.

Bandwidth: Overage fees will apply to any service utilizing more than its assigned bandwidth allocation. Overages will be calculated based on overall amount of Gigabytes (GB) transferred in a monthly period, unless a service is sold based on Megabits per Second (MBPS). Services sold by MBPS, will be calculated via the industry standard 95% method, unless specified in contract otherwise. MRTG or other bandwidth reporting is available upon request for all services. Client is responsible for all usage, and any corresponding overages fees, that result from a service that may be hacked and/or flooding. Terapower Innovation, Corp. may require a deposit should a client utilize/require large amounts of bandwidth beyond their standard bandwidth allocation.

Port Usage: Terapower Innovation, Corp. reserves the right to monitor network usage, and if a service significantly exceeds average usage, to throttle the available speed to conserve network resources and to prevent any large billing anomalies. This will generally not include short spikes in usage, but will include, but not be limited to, sustained transfers of significantly larger than average amounts of bandwidth. If at any time any client's data transfer rate affects other Terapower Innovation, Corp. Clientele, Terapower Innovation, Corp. reserves the right to throttle and/or disconnect the service causing such a problem.

Filtering: Terapower Innovation, Corp. reserves the rights to block/filter or throttle ports and/or ip address ranges, at its discretion. This may include, for example, blocking Port 6667 (IRC), denying access from a known-spamming IP address range, or limiting the speed of point-to-point file-sharing programs (Kazaa, Limewire, Donkey, etc...). This may also include giving priority to certain traffic types, such as Voice-over-IP (VOIP) phone call transmissions.

Unfettered: Bandwidth is supplied from a shared pool, and is not supplied as guaranteed/dedicated bandwidth. A service that has heavy sustained usage may have their port capped or be asked to upgrade to a dedicated service plan.

Virtual Hosting: Terapower Innovation, Corp. is pleased to offer our Virtual Hosting clientele unlimited traffic/hits and server usage. Unlimited Traffic/Hits refers to the number of visitors to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data transfer. Your account is still limited to the allotted bandwidth/data transfer included with your selected package. To maintain the integrity of our service, the following usage may be limited/disallowed on Virtual Hosting service:

  • Banner, graphic, or CGI scripts running from the service, and being utilized on other domains/websites
  • Large graphic or download archives/galleries
  • Large chat room gatherings
  • Heavy system resource utilization

If you do not qualify for unlimited traffic/hits, your account may be required to be upgraded, or, Terapower Innovation, Corp. may relocate your site to a different server and/or IP address, to reduce the load on the server on which you are currently residing.

Virtual Private Servers (VPS): To maintain the integrity of our service, VPS service that utilizes heavy amounts of system resources may be required to be upgraded, or, Terapower Innovation, Corp. may relocate your site to a different server and/or IP address, to reduce the load on the server on which you are currently residing.

Backup Service: To maintain the integrity of our service, Terapower Innovation, Corp. may relocate your backup service to a different server and/or IP address, to reduce the load on the server on which you are currently residing. Download/FTP sites, web-serving (httpd), and/or usage that results in heavy upstream/outgoing bandwidth consumption beyond that of normal backup operations is not permitted on the backup service. This service is meant for the backup/restore/sharing/storing of data/files, and not for usage normally performed by web/database servers.

Idle Timeouts:
Terapower Innovation, Corp. may disconnect any idle connection to the network.
Average timeouts are:
FTP - 300 seconds
Dial-Up - 10-15 minutes
Telnet/SSH - 2 hours

Abusive Clientele:
Terapower Innovation, Corp. may at it's discretion suspend or terminate service of any client that is abusive/harassing to Terapower Innovation, Corp. and/or Terapower Innovation, Corp. employees. Examples of such activity include, but are not limited to;

  • Verbal abuse - cursing, yelling, threatening, etc...
  • Ongoing disregard for warnings or notices
  • Consistent mistakes/errors/changes causing unnecessary workload
  • Spamming Terapower Innovation, Corp. email addresses, ticket systems, or servers
  • Continuous involvement in flood/DDOS activity, hacked services, or other ongoing non-permitted usage
  • Consistent late payments or responses
  • Issuing a chargeback or bouncing a payment
  • Continuous activation of problematic end-users

Available monitoring protocols are HTTP, SMTP, FTP, SSH, and ICMP (PING). The customer may request that a specific protocol and port is monitored, rather than the Terapower Innovation, Corp. default selection. Monitoring of multiple ports may be available at an additional cost.

Terapower Innovation, Corp. will automatically reboot systems that fail to respond after a second tested protocol fails. If the second tested protocol responds properly, Terapower Innovation, Corp. will attempt to log into the system to restore/restart service on the initial failed protocol that was being monitored. Terapower Innovation, Corp. does not charge for reboots to any system on the network.

It is the client’s responsibility to update Terapower Innovation, Corp. any time that the root password is changed on a system, otherwise Terapower Innovation, Corp. will be unable to restore/restart failed monitored protocols automatically, and will not be held liable for failure to do such. It is the client’s responsibility to keep access by Terapower Innovation, Corp. monitoring system ip addresses available to their system, and not blocked via firewall, and to notify Terapower Innovation, Corp. any time a port is changed on a monitored protocol or if a protocol disabled. Otherwise Terapower Innovation, Corp. will be unable to provide monitoring services, and will not be held liable for failure to do such.
