is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons
other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting
from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore,

Network
IP Address Ownership: If Xaz.biz assigns Customer
an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use
that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to Xaz.biz, and
Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address
except as permitted by Xaz.biz in its sole discretion in connection
with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. Xaz.biz shall
maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers
and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by Xaz.biz, and Xaz.biz
reserves the right to change or remove any and all such Internet
Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion.
Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies.
These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual
hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses.
What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where
possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we
find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting
could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses
that could be used with name-based hosting.
Bandwidth and Disk Usage: Customer agrees that bandwidth
and disk usage shall not exceed the number of megabytes per month
for the Services ordered by Customer on the Order Form. Xaz.biz
will monitor Customer's bandwidth and disk usage. Xaz.biz shall
have the right to take corrective action if Customer's bandwidth
or disk usage exceeds the Agreed Usage. Such corrective action may
include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or discontinuance
of any and all Services, or termination of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken is in Xaz.biz's sole and absolute discretion.
If Xaz.biz takes any corrective action under this section, Customer
shall not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior
to such action. In the event that a customer exceeds the included
allocation, Xaz.biz may, at its sole discretion, collect a deposit,
in an amount determined by Xaz.biz, against customer's credit card
on file with Xaz.biz.

Network. Violations of system or network security may result in
civil or criminal liability. Xaz.biz will investigate occurrences,
which may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate
with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who are involved
in such violations. These violations include, without limitation:
Accessing data not intended for such User or logging
into a server or account, which such User is not authorized to access.
Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability
of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures
without proper authorization.

host or network, including, without limitation, via means of overloading,

the header information in any e-mail or newsgroup posting.
Taking any action in order to obtain services to
which such User is not entitled.Attempting to couple many hosting
packages together to take advantage of massive space or bandwidth
allocations. Each hosting package purchased is unique to a domain
name and use - please do not purchase multiple "plan 1's"
for instance to get the combined bandwidth & space. Xaz.biz
will stop such transactions and label them as deceptive. We have
an upgrade path for all services and we can often times work out
special deals for users if they ask us for the assistance.
Notification of Violation:

monitor or police Internet-related activities.

to have committed a second violation of any element of this Acceptable
Use Policy shall be subject to immediate suspension or termination
of service without further notice.
We reserve the right, to drop the section of IP
space involved in Spam or Denial-of-Service complaints if it is
clear that the offending activity is causing great harm to parties
on the Internet. In particular, if open relays are on your network
or a customer's network, or if denial of service attacks are originating
from your network. In certain rare cases, we may have to do this
before attempting to contact you. If we do this, we will contact
you as soon as is feasible.
Suspension of Service or Cancellation: Xaz.biz reserves
the right to suspend network access to any customer if in the judgment
of the Xaz.biz network administrators the customer's server is the
source or target of the violation of any of the other terms of the
AUP or for any other reason which Xaz.biz chooses. If inappropriate
activity is detected, all accounts of the Customer in question will
be deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior notification
to the Customer is not assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement
will be contacted regarding the activity. The customer will not
be credited for the time the customer's machines were suspended.

at any time. All Sub-Networks, resellers and managed servers of
