HmeaWorld Terms of Service
By accepting our Terms of Service, you also agree to our Privacy Notice and Data Use Policy. Please click here for more information on our Privacy Notice and Data Use Policy
All users of HmeaWorld services, and all customers upon signing up for HmeaWorld services, agree to comply with HmeaWorld Terms of Service ("TOS"). The spirit of the TOS is to ensure customers are using HmeaWorld services with due regard to the rights of other Internet users and in conformity with the requirements of the HmeaWorld network environment. The TOS are not exhaustive and HmeaWorld reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any provision of its TOS at any time without notice, effective upon either the posting of the modified TOS to www.HmeaWorld.com or notification of the modified TOS. Any complaints about a customer's violation of the TOS should be sent to [email protected]. Please see our abuse terms for more details on abuse policy. When you agree to the terms, you are also agreeing to our Billing terms. Except when expressly agreed to the contrary in writing by an authorized representative of HmeaWorld, this TOS supersedes any other agreement with HmeaWorld, whether written, oral, by conduct, or otherwise.
Server Resources
Any Web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given the option to reduce the resources used to an acceptable level. HmeaWorld will be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. Any Web Hosting account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.
Any script that consumes large amounts of resources is not allowed, such as (but not limited to): Bots, proxy scripts, rapid leech scripts, torrent related scripts, chatting or chat room scripts, PTC (Paid-to-click) site scripts, file or image hosting scripts, mail-bombers or spam scripts, topsites scripts, auto-blog scripts and plugins. Such scripts will be terminated immediately with no prior notice and account owners will not be eligible for a refund. We provide shared hosting, therefore, any script you run that will consume large amounts of resources affects other customers on your server negatively, so please use common sense when using a script. If you are unsure of any script, before running the script in your account, please contact HmeaWorld Sales or Support to ensure the script is allowed.
No account should not use more than 25% of their CPU limit consistently for more than 30 minutes. If you are consistently using 25% or more CPU, you will need to upgrade to the next available hosting plan. If you are using the maximum hosting plan and are still using 25% or more CPU consistently, then you have most likely outgrown a shared hosting environment and should therefore obtain a VPS or dedicated server to better suit your needs.
Any account suspended or terminated due to violation of our Terms of Service will not be eligible for a refund, including during our 30 day money back guarantee period.
Spam/Bulk Mail
HmeaWorld has a "No Tolerance" policy on Spam and bulk mail. Sending unsolicited, bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet or by text messaging (known as "spamming") is prohibited, regardless of whether or not it overloads a server or disrupts service to HmeaWorld customers. HmeaWorld also does not allow CAN-SPAM compliant bulk email or consider emails not Spam just because you include an Opt-Out notice. The term "spamming" also includes, but is not limited to, maintaining an open SMTP policy, sending unsolicited text messages, engaging in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP and referencing in the spam a Web site hosted on a HmeaWorld server, and selling or distributing software (on a Web site residing on a HmeaWorld server) that facilitates spamming. If a HmeaWorld server IP has become blacklisted due to spamming by a users domain name hosted on our servers, the violator will face immediate termination and no refunds will be given. HmeaWorld reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.
Any client found to be spamming may face a spam cleanup fee from $250 - $500 depending on the circumstance and level of cleanup involved. Any account suspended or terminated due to spamming will not be eligible for a refund.
Denial of Service Attacks
"Stress testing" or purposely receiving DDoS/DoS attacks is not tolerated on our servers.
This also includes sending a DDoS/DoS or taking part in a DDoS/DoS from any HmeaWorld account, be it shared/reseller/vps or dedicated server. Any account found actively and knowingly sending abusive traffic will be immediately suspended and possibly terminated with no refunds given.
Offering/promoting/selling DDoS for hire services is not tolerated and will cause immediate suspension/termination.
Prohibited Material

Rapid Leech scripts
File sharing applications (including cloud apps such as: ownCloud, NextCloud)

Inodes
Inodes are the amount of all the files located on your account. For example, an email stored in your account will be 1 inode, an email that contains 2 attachments will be 3 inodes. Any image, file, video, HTML file, folder and script file are each considered inodes.
We do not impose an inode limit, but instead offer a "fair usage" policy. If we find the account is using an abusive amount of inodes which is causing disruption for other clients, we will have no choice but to intervene which may result in account suspension.
Unmetered Bandwidth
Bandwidth usage in our shared hosting environments is considered unmetered. We do not impose a bandwidth limit, but instead offer a "fair usage" policy. If we find the account is using an abusive amount of bandwidth, we will have no choice but to intervene which may result in account suspension. Accounts willingly and knowingly using an abusive amount of bandwidth will face immediate suspension and/or termination and will not qualify for any refund.
Disk Space Usage
Account disk space is meant for files related to your websites only. Using your disk space for backups of any kind, file sharing or any type of short or long term storage is not permitted. This also includes the usage of cloud storage applications such as ownCloud or NextCloud that allow you to store and share files from your hosting account. Use of these applications is not permitted.
Reselling Non-Reseller Plans
Your HmeaWorld shared hosting account may not be resold and you may not resell any shared hosting services provided by HmeaWorld. This includes, but is not limited to, email accounts, add-on domains and FTP accounts. Violaters will face immediate termination and no refunds will be given.
If you would like to resell hosting space, please see our reseller hosting plans.
Reseller Plan Policy
Non-Exempt
All reseller accounts must abide by the same policies in our Terms of Service as any other account and are in no way exempt.
Free Hosting/Free Email
Resellers are not permitted to offer free hosting plans, free trial offerings or free email accounts with our reseller hosting plans.
Free Blesta License
Clients with active/current Reseller, Enterprise or VPS plans in good standing are eligible for a free Blesta license. Limit 1 Blesta license per qualifying HmeaWorld service. Clients agree to maintain an active HmeaWorld Reseller, Enterprise or VPS plan for the life of their Blesta license.

All issued Blesta licenses must be actively used and bound to a valid domain name. Licenses found to be unused and/or not bound to a domain will be cancelled/terminated at our discretion.
Opting out of our free Blesta license offer does not qualify you for any discount towards your reseller hosting plan.
Abusive Clients of Resellers
HmeaWorld reserves the right to suspend or terminate any reseller client account(s) we find to be abusive, illegal, etc. as per our regular Terms of Service abuse policy without prior notification based on the severity of the abuse.
Suspended Account Storage
Resellers are not permitted to have any account in a suspended state for a period of more than 90 days. Since this falls under our backup storage policy and the storage of backups not being permitted in your account, any reseller cPanel sub-account found to be suspended for more than 90 days will be terminated in accordance with this policy. If you have a need for the account and it will be in a suspended state for more than 90 days, we suggest making a full backup of the account and storing the backup file remotely.
JetBackup Backup Jobs
Resellers are permitted to create 1 backup job per reseller account in JetBackup. Any additional jobs created may be removed at our discretion.
Dedicated IP Address Policy
Dedicated IP addresses purchased from HmeaWorld are non-transferrable and cannot be transferred to a new host. The assigning of dedicated IP addresses are subject to ARIN's new policies which require justification for the need of the IP address. An example of proper justification includes, but not limited to: SSL certificates, reseller accounts and dedicated servers. HmeaWorld will deny requests for dedicated IP addresses without proper justification.
Uptime Guarantee
HmeaWorld guarantees that your website will be up and running at least 99.9% of the time during any given 12-month period. This guarantee includes network uptime, server uptime, web server and service uptime. It does not cover any areas where HmeaWorld.com has no direct influence, such as backbone provider failures, fibre-optic main line cuts, DNS or Domain Registrar issues with subscriber's domain name, connection issues between the client's location and HmeaWorld.com data center. This uptime guarantee is also not applicable if the service interruption was caused by external issues such as Acts of God, Wars or any other natural or unnatural events that HmeaWorld.com cannot directly influence.
