20. Because the Internet is a global communication tool, and we have clients from nearly every country in the world it is difficult to dictate what is considered “adult material.” However, it is not our function to discriminate against those who choose to utilize adult content or adult related material.

21. Once the client’s account has exceeded its allotted resource limits (such as, but not limited to bandwidth or disk space) additional fee’s will be applied. Full responsibility for any excess resources generated by an account is assumed by the client.

25. If the client’s account is overdue for 60 days, the account will be cancelled, and all associated site files will be deleted from the server. At this time the client will be handed over to an outside collection agency and a R200 collection fee will be added to the balance previously due.

26. Dot Cube may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure of the client to pay charges when they become due. Such termination or denial will not relieve the client of responsibility for the payment of all accrued charges, plus reasonable interest and any collection fees.

27. All accounts are subject to verification.

28. The client agree that Dot Cube may establish limits concerning use of any Dot Cube service offered on any Dot Cube web site, including without limitation the maximum number of days that e-mail messages will be retained by any Dot Cube service, the maximum number of e-mail messages that may be sent from or received by an account on any Dot Cube service, the maximum size of an e-mail message that may be sent from or received by an account on any Dot Cube service, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on Dot Cube’ servers on the client behalf either cumulatively or for any particular service. The client agrees that Dot Cube has no responsibility or liability for the deletion, corruption or failure to store any messages or other content maintained or transmitted by any Dot Cube service. The client acknowledges that the features, parameters (for example, the amount of storage available to users) or existence of any Dot Cube service may change at any time.

29. The responsibility of all passwords and other related sensitive information is assumed by the client, should any additional fees arise from resource consumption due to poor credentials (such as, but not limited to blank passwords or “test” accounts) no fault shall be levied on Dot Cube.

30. Traffic Overage Disputes – Should the client wish to dispute a traffic overage charge the client may do so by requesting an overage investigation, however should the traffic usage be accurate within a 5% margin a once off charge of R150 per domain/server will be applied to the corresponding account.
