The Client hereby declares to fully accept all legal obligations arising from ownership of its services, and xervers may not be sued or in any way inconvenienced in this regard for any reason whatsoever, particularly in the event of violation of laws or regulations applicable to the Client's services. The Client declares to have obtained all necessary authorizations regarding copyright, namely from the Portuguese Authors Society that may be required. The Customer undertakes to make the identity and address of the owner or author of the web pages appear on the web pages of his website and to make all necessary requests for the creation of his website in accordance with current Portuguese Law.
Failure by the Customer to comply with the aforementioned points - whether the website is hosted on xervers' platform or by redirecting its domain to such websites - and notably any activity specifically prohibited on xervers' Service and/or likely to result in civil and/or criminal liability and/or likely to affect the rights of third parties will entitle xervers to disconnect and/or interrupt the Customer's services without prior notice and to immediately and fully terminate the contract, without prejudice to the right to all damages to which xervers may be entitled. In such cases, the Client will not have any right to a refund of amounts already paid to xervers.

The Client, who is solely responsible for the content of the Website, undertakes to defend xervers at his own expense in the event that xervers is the subject of a claim relating to the data, information, messages, etc. that he disseminates, and to pay any compensation that may be due to him to repair any damage he may have suffered, provided that he is free to settle and conduct the proceedings.
The Client undertakes to implement the necessary safeguards to ensure the continuity of his business.

Art 6.2: Using CGI/PHP/MYSQL SCRIPTS

xervers provides hosting that allows the use of GGI scripts, PHP, MYSQL and other executable programs. These scripts use much more system resources than simple pages, so the restrictions below apply to the use of these features.
The customer has the ability to create and execute their own CGI, PHP or/and SQL scripts on their own account. This use must be reasonable. However, in order to provide a good quality service, xervers reserves the right to stop the execution of certain CGI, PHP, SQL and/or the site if these require too much server power and endanger the proper functioning of the xervers shared hosting platform, regardless of the five restrictions below.
xervers will do its best to warn customers who use scripts that require too high a percentage of system resources before suspending them.
On the other hand, if scripts cause problems for other customers or use too many resources they may be stopped without notice.
The Customer is warned that use that does not respect the above may render the site's operation incompatible on the xervers shared platform, exposing it to suspension without notice in order to guarantee an acceptable quality of service to all of the platform's customers. The Customer will then be offered the option of a dedicated hosting contract.
The scripts must not in any case interact with the configuration of the Service or the material. The execution of scripts of this type may lead to the immediate cancellation of the Customer account. Consequently, to assess the reasonableness of the use of scripts in view of the shared hosting platform, the following criteria will be used:

• daily traffic.

• number of web requests per day (html, php, cgi, jpg, gif and others);

• machine processor ("CPU") utilization.

• RAM usage.

• access to a sql server limited in number of simultaneous requests (xervers recommends that the Client establish short connections, closing them after use).

• for other reasons not defined in these conditions, but which, in xervers' judgment, would put the xervers computer system at risk. It shall be up to the Customer to make known the exact reason why he uses such scripts.

Alerts are sent automatically when one of the criteria is met, and the Client must then validate that this alert has been properly received by means of a reply e-mail and that xervers has understood the request made.
If the Client does not validate this e-mail within 12 hours, xervers reserves the right to close the site without notice.
Downloading must be done by the anonymous FTP server, if available.

Art 6.3: The use of SPAM is strictly prohibited

The Customer undertakes not to use the Service features to send messages in large numbers (SPAM) or to people who do not wish to receive them or to the wrong addresses. In this regard, xervers reserves the right to suspend the customer's messaging services without notice, when massive email deliveries affect the integrity and/or security of the xervers network.On the other hand, in case of any complaint (whether customer or not) regarding a sent e-mail:

• from the facilities hosted at xervers

• or holding the URLs of sites hosted on xervers

In case of non-compliance with this commitment, the Customer acknowledges that xervers has the right to limit, restrict, interrupt or permanently suspend, in whole or in part, the service in question for a minimum duration of five days without notice, and even to permanently terminate the contract in case of non-compliance with warnings regarding spamming sent by e-mail to the Customer.

Art 6.4: The Client undertakes to keep a copy of the transmitted data.

Art 6.5: File hosting platforms are prohibited in xervers shared hosting offers.

This includes all sites destined for storage, exchange, downloading, streaming, ... This prohibition applies to all types of files such as images, videos, music, files, etc. xervers reserves the possibility to suspend without notice any site used for this purpose and hosted on a shared hosting offer.

Art 7: Domain Name

The Customer is informed that a domain name can be connected preferentially to the Hosting Service. Therefore, depending on the situation, it may be necessary to change the domain name previously defined.
The Customer is informed that he/she must be the owner of the domain names in question or have the owner's agreement for the duration foreseen in the contract.
If, after reading these particular hosting conditions, the Client has any questions, he/she should contact xervers through the means placed at its disposal.
The simple fact of booking online will correspond to full and complete acceptance of these contractual conditions.
