May 23

Posted by SIMPLY HADDAD in Announcements, Press Releases

As part of our continuous effort to provide all our guests, viewers, clients and subscribers with the best viewing pleasure and the most informative presentation scheme, we have decided to upgrade and revamp all SIMPLY HADDAD Websites with a clean and dashing new look. Coupled with some new features, updates and a brand new platform.

What progress have we made ?

These upgrades will take time to complete over the vast array of Brands under the SIMPLY HADDAD ™ Umbrella, however we are going to complete each and every Brand site upgrade in the least amount of time such as not to inconvenience you.

As you might have noticed, we have completed the First Phase of upgrades on two of our Brand Sites namely, SIMPLY HADDAD Networks International and Zeta*Aid Billing and Support. All our other brands will be undergoing the transformation in the coming week. Appended below is an approximation of the schedule and span of time in which each Brand Site will take such that the First Phase of Project SPIFFY will be completed without a ‘hitch’.

The AUP, TOS, TOU and related agreements and policies may be changed from time to time at the discretion of the Company. Subscriber understands that change to the AUP, TOS, TOU and related agreements and policies by the Company shall not be grounds for early contract termination or non-payment.

1. Disclosure

The AUP specifically prohibits the use of our service for illegal activities. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Company may disclose any and all subscriber information including assigned IP numbers, account history, account use, etc. to any law enforcement agent who makes a written request without further consent or notification to the Subscriber.

The promotional offer is contingent upon Company achieving and maintaining its cost of service goals including but not limited to rates charged to company by its suppliers.

10. Unsolicited Commercial Email (“UCE” or “SPAM”)

SIMPLY HADDAD takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (referred to as “SPAM” or “UCE”) over our network. Very simply this means that customers may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service.

a. Violations due to the practice or UCE will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our UCE policy, will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, we may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our UCE policy, SIMPLY HADDAD may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer’s account.

b. SIMPLY HADDAD further, reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. The Company will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.

c. As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.

11. Network

a. IP Address Ownership

If SIMPLY HADDAD assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for Customer’s use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to SIMPLY HADDAD, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement SIMPLY HADDAD shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by , and 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.

b. Bandwidth Usage:

SIMPLY HADDAD will monitor Customer’s bandwidth. SIMPLY HADDAD shall have the right to take corrective action if Customer’s usage negatively impacts other clients.

c. System and Network Security

Users are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the Network. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. SIMPLY HADDAD 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:

i. Accessing data not intended for such User or logging into a server or account, which such User is not authorized to access.

ii. Attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization.

iv. Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or newsgroup posting.

v. Taking any action in order to obtain services to which such User is not entitled.

12. Notification of Violation

SIMPLY HADDAD is under no duty to look at each customer’s or user’s activities to determine if a violation of the AUP has occurred, nor do we assume any responsibility through our AUP to monitor or police Internet-related activities.

a. First violation

Any User, which determines to have violated any element of this Acceptable Use Policy, shall receive an email, warning them of the violation. The service may be subject at SIMPLY HADDAD’s discretion to a temporary suspension pending a User’s agreement in writing, to refrain from any further violations.

b. Second Violation

Users that have been determined 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.

13. Suspension of Service or Cancellation

SIMPLY HADDAD reserves the right to suspend network access to any customer if in the judgment of the 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 SIMPLY HADDAD 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.

14. Amendments to Policies

SIMPLY HADDAD reserves the right to amend its policies at any time. All Networks, Sub-Networks, Network Accounts, Managed and Unmanaged servers of SIMPLY HADDAD must adhere to the above policies. Failure to follow any term or condition will be grounds for immediate Cancellation. You will be held responsible for the actions of your clients in the matter described on these Terms and conditions. Therefore, it is in your best interest to implement a similar or stricter Terms and conditions or otherwise called Acceptable Terms of use policy.

15. Indemnification

SIMPLY HADDAD wishes to emphasize that in agreeing to the SIMPLY HADDAD Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), Terms of Service (“TOS”) and Terms of Use (“TOU”), you as the customer indemnifies SIMPLY HADDAD for any violation of the Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), Terms of Service (“TOS”) and Terms of Use (“TOU”) that results in loss to SIMPLY HADDAD or the bringing of any claim against SIMPLY HADDAD by any third-party. This means that if SIMPLY HADDAD is sued because of a customer’s or a customer of a customer’s activity or a customer’s employee/s or a customer’s contractor/s or a customer’s consultant/s, the customer will pay any damages awarded against SIMPLY HADDAD, plus all costs and attorney’s fees.
