http://www.islandmanagement.ca/Spectrum/TOS.htm

2.       We reserve the right to change this TOS at any time without prior notice to you.

2.2 Service and Availability

1.       We will provide you with Web hosting services on a shared-server network. This type of Web hosting is often called “shared Web hosting” because more than one customer may be hosted on a server and thus share server resources.

2.       On average, Spectrum Solutions Corporation sustains a 99.9 percent level of availability for all Web hosting and email services; we do not, however, guarantee this level of availability. The applicable Web hosting and email services are limited to:

o        HTTP/HTTPS – protocols used for viewing Web pages

o        FTP – protocols used for uploading pages to and downloading pages from your Website, primarily to conduct Website maintenance

o        POP3, IMAP, SMTP – protocols used for receiving email [POP3 and IMAP] and sending email [SMTP]

3.       Spectrum Solutions Corporation will, from time to time, schedule maintenance on its equipment and software. During these times, one or more of the above services may become unavailable. Such maintenance activities should not exceed six (6) hours per calendar month. In general, we have very few maintenance outages and, historically, we have only rarely used all six hours.

4.       Planned maintenance outages are scheduled for times that will affect the fewest number of customers. We recognize, and you should recognize, that we cannot pick a time that will affect no customers.

5.       Scheduled outages for maintenance are not included in Spectrum Solutions Corporation’s availability statistics unless they exceed six (6) hours per month.

6.       Occasionally, it may become necessary to perform emergency updates to our systems as might be the case to meet an emerging security threat. We consider these outages to be part of our total six (6) hour monthly maintenance allotment.

2.3 Support

1.       We will strive to resolve all support requests made by you to us within 48 hours of the time you filed your support request. This assumes that you followed the accepted method(s) for requesting support. These are documented at:

Under no circumstances should you use passwords such as your name, the names of your children or pets, your birth date, and so on. These are prime candidates for abuse by hackers.
