Service Level Agreement
These Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of websites operated by Fibernet Corp. (“FIBERNET,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including fiber.net and webpages, forms, portals, and online content that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Website”).
These Terms apply to use of the Website. They do not replace or modify any Master Service Agreement, Service Order, service-specific terms, Service Level Agreement, Acceptable Use Policy, or other written agreement governing Services purchased from FIBERNET.

Information presented on the Website regarding products, services, pricing, specifications, availability, facilities, capabilities, or features is provided for general informational purposes and does not create a contractual commitment unless expressly incorporated into a written agreement between FIBERNET and the applicable customer.
2. CUSTOMER AGREEMENTS CONTROL
Customers purchasing Services from FIBERNET may be subject to a separate Master Service Agreement, Service Order, service-specific terms and conditions, Service Level Agreement, Acceptable Use Policy, or other written agreement (collectively, a “Customer Agreement”).
The applicable Customer Agreement governs purchased Services. If these Terms conflict with a Customer Agreement regarding purchased Services, the Customer Agreement controls.
Nothing stated on the Website modifies a Customer Agreement unless the modification is expressly agreed to in writing as provided by that Customer Agreement.

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You may not use the Website to: (a) violate applicable law or the rights of another person; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, accounts, systems, networks, servers, or data; (c) interfere with or disrupt the operation, availability, security, or integrity of the Website; (d) introduce malware, malicious code, viruses, automated attacks, or other harmful technology; (e) impersonate another person or organization or misrepresent your affiliation; (f) use automated tools, scraping technologies, crawlers, or similar methods in a manner that materially burdens the Website or circumvents reasonable technical restrictions; (g) probe, scan, test, bypass, defeat, or circumvent Website security controls without authorization; or (h) use Website forms or communications tools to transmit spam, fraudulent communications, abusive material, or unlawful content.
Acceptable use of FIBERNET Internet, network, hosting, cloud, and other customer Services is governed separately by FIBERNET’s Acceptable Use Policy and applicable Customer Agreement.
4. ACCOUNTS AND CUSTOMER PORTALS
Certain portions of the Website may require an account, login credentials, or other authentication. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of credentials issued to you and for activity occurring through your account, except to the extent caused by FIBERNET.
You must promptly notify FIBERNET if you reasonably believe your account or credentials have been compromised or used without authorization.
FIBERNET may restrict or suspend access to an online account or portal when reasonably necessary to protect security, investigate suspected unauthorized activity, comply with law, or protect FIBERNET, its customers, systems, or networks. Suspension or termination of purchased Services is governed by the applicable Customer Agreement.
5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Website and its content, including text, graphics, logos, photographs, videos, designs, software, documentation, trademarks, service marks, and other materials, are owned by or licensed to FIBERNET and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except as permitted by law or expressly authorized by FIBERNET, you may not reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, license, publish, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit Website content. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of FIBERNET intellectual property.
6. INFORMATION YOU SUBMIT
You represent that information you provide through the Website is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to provide it.
Information submitted through sales forms, support requests, applications, account portals, or other Website functionality may be used by FIBERNET to respond to your request, administer customer relationships, provide or support Services, maintain security, and otherwise operate its business. FIBERNET’s handling of personal information is described in its Privacy Policy.
Submitting an inquiry, quote request, contact form, or similar communication does not obligate either you or FIBERNET to enter into a business relationship.
7. PRIVACY
Use of the Website is subject to FIBERNET’s Privacy Policy. Customer-specific confidentiality, security, and data-processing obligations are governed by the applicable Customer Agreement.
8. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES
The Website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, applications, platforms, carriers, payment processors, software providers, or other services. FIBERNET does not control unaffiliated third parties and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices, or terms. Links are provided for convenience and do not necessarily constitute endorsement.
9. WEBSITE AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES
FIBERNET may modify, update, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any portion of the Website at any time. FIBERNET does not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
Any uptime, availability, performance, response-time, or other service-level commitment applicable to purchased FIBERNET Services is governed exclusively by the applicable Customer Agreement or Service Level Agreement and is not created by these Terms.
10. WEBSITE DISCLAIMER
THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FIBERNET DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES REGARDING THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
FIBERNET DOES NOT WARRANT THAT WEBSITE CONTENT WILL ALWAYS BE COMPLETE, CURRENT, ACCURATE, OR ERROR-FREE. Nothing in this Section modifies an express warranty or service commitment contained in an applicable Customer Agreement.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FIBERNET WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING SOLELY FROM USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE.
This Section applies to the Website and does not replace or modify any limitation of liability contained in an applicable Customer Agreement.
12. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
When you communicate with FIBERNET electronically, you consent to receiving responsive communications electronically where permitted by law.
Marketing communications may be subject to separate consent, opt-out, or other requirements under applicable law.

13. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
FIBERNET may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, business practices, technology, security requirements, or applicable law. The current version will be posted on the Website with an updated “Last Updated” date.
Changes to these Terms do not amend an existing Customer Agreement except as expressly permitted by that Customer Agreement.
14. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute arising solely from use of the Website and not governed by a Customer Agreement will be subject to the state or federal courts having jurisdiction in Utah County, Utah. If a Customer Agreement applies to the dispute, its dispute-resolution and governing-law provisions control.
15. GENERAL
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. FIBERNET’s failure to enforce a provision does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.
These Terms constitute the agreement between you and FIBERNET regarding use of the Website only. They do not constitute the entire agreement between FIBERNET and a customer regarding purchased Services.

Acceptable Use Policy
NetHosting has developed an Acceptable Use Policy with the following goals in mind:
- To promote network reliability and superior performance
- To avoid situations that may cause NetHosting to incur civil liability
- To ensure the continued positive expansion of NetHosting’s reputation
- To promote appropriate uses of network and Internet resources
- To preserve the privacy and security of individual users
The Acceptable Use Policy below defines the actions which NetHosting considers to be abusive, and thus, strictly prohibited. The examples named in this list are non-exclusive and are provided solely for guidance to NetHosting customers. If you are unsure whether any contemplated use or action is permitted, please send an email to support@nethosting.com and we will advise you.
Please note that the actions listed below are also not permitted from other Internet Service Providers on behalf of, or to advertise, any service hosted or connected by NetHosting, or connected via the NetHosting network. Furthermore, such services may not be advertised via deceptive marketing policies, as defined by the Federal Trade Commission Deception Policy Statement.
General Conduct
- Customers are prohibited from transmitting on or through any of NetHosting services, any material that is in NetHosting sole discretion, unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, hateful, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law.
- NetHosting services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or storage of any information, data or material in violation of the United States or state regulation or common law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other statute. NetHosting reserves the right to remove such illegal material from its servers.
- The Customer is responsible for keeping his billing data with NetHosting current and accurate. Furnishing false data on the sign-up form, contract, or online application, including Financial Chargebacks and fraudulent use of credit card numbers are grounds for immediate termination and may subject the offender to civil or criminal liability.
- The resale of NetHosting products and services is not permitted unless specifically permitted and documented in a written agreement.
- Due to the nature of shared hosting, files stored on the shared hosting servers must be part of the live website. When Nethosting sees excessive or extraneous files, outside the scope of the live website, you may be asked to remove them.
System and Network Security
- Customers may not attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account (“cracking”). This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the Customer, logging into a server or account the Customer is not expressly authorized to access or probing the security of other networks (such as running a SATAN scan or similar tool).
- Customers may not attempt to interfere with service to any user, host, or network (“denial of service attacks”). This includes, but is not limited to: flooding of networks, deliberate attempts to overload a service, and attempts to “crash” a host.
- Customers may not use any kind of program/script/command or send messages of any kind, designed to interfere with a user’s terminal session, via any means, locally or by the Internet.
- Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. NetHosting will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations.
- Harassment, whether through language, frequency, or message size, is prohibited.
- Customers may not send email to any person who does not wish to receive it. If a recipient asks to stop receiving email, the Customer must not send that person any further email.
- Customers are explicitly prohibited from sending unsolicited bulk mail messages (“junk mail” or “spam”). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, and political tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it.
- Malicious email, including, but not limited to “mailbombing” (flooding a user or site with very large or numerous pieces of email), is prohibited.
- Forging of header information is not permitted.
- NetHosting accounts or services may not be used to collect replies to messages sent from another Internet Service Provider, where those messages violate this Acceptable Use Policy or the Acceptable Use Policy of that other provider.
- These rules apply to other types of Internet-based distribution mediums as well, such as RLG’s Ariel system (a system for sending FAX-like documents over the Internet). USENET postings have their own regulations; see below.
- Due to the nature of shared hosting, we can only allow our shared hosting customers to store up to 4 GB of email per hosting account.
IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
- NetHosting is not liable for the content of any communications made on IRC.
- IRC robots (“bots” or “clones”) may not be run from NetHosting shell accounts.
- Customers may not attempt to impersonate others or use IRC anonymously by disguising their hostname or username.
- Customers are prohibited from using IRC scripts or programs that interfere with or deny service to other users on any server or host. Customers are also prohibited from engaging in activities which harass other users. This includes, but is not limited to “flooding” (rapidly entering text with the intent to fill the screens of others), “flashing” (disrupting terminal emulation), “takeovers” (forcibly seizing operator privileges), attempting to send private messages to those who do not wish to see them (via “ignore”), attempting to return to a channel after being banned from it, and other disruptive behaviors.

How to Make Claims of Copyright Infringement

IMPORTANT: The following information is provided solely for providing notice to NetHosting that your copyrighted material might have been infringed.
WE CAUTION YOU THAT UNDER FEDERAL LAW, IF YOU KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENT THAT ONLINE MATERIAL IS INFRINGING, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO HEAVY CIVIL PENALTIES. THESE INCLUDE MONETARY DAMAGES, COURT COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED BY US, BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER, OR BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER’S LICENSEE THAT IS INJURED AS A RESULT OF OUR RELYING UPON YOUR MISREPRESENTATION. YOU MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY.
DO NOT SEND ANY INQUIRIES UNRELATED TO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT (E.G., REQUESTS FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE, REPORTS OF EMAIL ABUSE, ETC.) TO THE CONTACT LISTED BELOW. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE IF SENT TO THAT CONTACT.
Claims should be submitted in writing to the following designated agent:
NetHosting

1155 S 800 E
Orem, UT 84097
Fax: 801-223-9937
Email: abuse@nethosting.com
IMPORTANT: IN THE EVENT YOU SEND US A NOTICE OF ANY KIND VIA EMAIL AND DO NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM US, PLEASE SUBMIT A DUPLICATE COPY VIA PAPER AND/OR FAX. DUE TO THE FACT THAT TECHNOLOGIES MAY SOMETIMES FAIL, EMAIL COMMUNICATION IN PARTICULAR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE BURDENS OF SPAM AND THE OCCASIONAL, UNINTENDED EFFECTS OF SPAM FILTERS, SENDING AN ALTERNATE FORM OF NOTICE (VIA PAPER AND/OR FAX), WILL HELP ASSURE THAT YOUR NOTICE WILL BE RECEIVED BY US AND ACTED ON IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Notification of Claimed Infringement must include ALL of the following:
- Contact information (address, phone number, email address) and physical or electronic signature of the complaining party (individual authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner).
- Identification and Internet location of all alleged infringing materials [URL linking to the relevant page(s) with list or description of infringing items on the page(s)]. Information should be reasonably sufficient for an online service provider to locate the materials and the offending party (“Subscriber”) in question.
- “Good faith” statement from the copyright owner that states the belief that there is no legal basis for the use of the infringing material by the Subscriber (i.e. use of materials is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.)
- Statement from the complaining party that the information contained in the notice is accurate, under penalty of perjury, and that the complaining party is indeed authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
NetHosting treats claims of copyright infringement seriously and will act to remove or disable access to infringing materials in a prompt and efficient manner, even to the point of terminating the Subscriber’s Internet access if selective action is not deemed to be possible.
NetHosting will also provide a written notice to the Subscriber informing him or her that this action has been taken, giving them the opportunity to contest it.
Counter-Notice and Put-Back Procedures
Upon receipt of notice that the infringing material has been removed or access to it disabled, the Subscriber has the opportunity to provide a Counter Notification to contest the removal of or impeding of access to the material in question.
- The notification must be in writing and delivered to service provider’s designated agent.
- It must include the following:
- The Subscriber’s physical or electronic signature as well as his or her name, address, and phone number.
- Identification and former Internet location of the material that was removed or disabled [URL linking to the relevant page(s) with a list or description of the material].
- “Good faith” statement from Subscriber that states the belief that the material was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
- Statement of consent to federal court jurisdiction for the judicial district of the Subscriber, or if located overseas, to an appropriate judicial body.
NETHOSTING ACTIONS UPON RECEIPT OF COUNTER-NOTIFICATION
When NetHosting receives a proper Counter Notification, we take the following actions:
- Provide the complaining party with a copy of the Counter Notification, informing him or her that we will replace the removed material or restore access to it within fourteen (14) business days after we receive the Counter Notification.
- Replace or restore access to the removed material in no less than ten (10) and no more than fourteen (14) business days after we receive the Counter Notification, provided we haven’t received notice from the complaining party that legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain Subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our network or system.
CAUTION: Pursuant to Title 17, Section 512(f) of the United States Code, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
