All users of Camelback's Services, and all customers upon signing up for Camelback's services (“Services”), agree to comply with Camelback's Terms of Use (“TOU”). The spirit of the TOU is to ensure customers are using Camelback's services with due regard to the rights of other Internet users and in conformity with the requirements of Camelback's network environment. The TOU are not exhaustive and Camelback reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any provision of its TOU at any time without notice, effective upon either the posting of the modified TOU to livesite.com or notification of the modified TOU. Any complaints about a customer’s violation of the TOU should be sent to "abuse @ our domain name". The TOU supersedes any other agreement with Camelback, whether written, oral, by conduct, or otherwise.
Server Resources
Any customer account that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, network resources, and/or exceeding their hosting plan limits) will be required to pay additional overage fees and/or notified of new charges for required upgrades to its services to accommodate the higher usage. Camelback will be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. Any account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice. Also, background processes such as, but not limited to, IRC bots such as eggdrop, and BitchX are not allowed on our servers. All hosting plans start with a generous amount of disk space and monthly data transfer, and more can be added for a nominal fee.
Multimedia Files
Multimedia files are defined as any graphics, audio, and video files. Customer accounts are not to be used for the purposes of distributing and storing unusual amounts of multimedia files. Any account whose disk space usage for storing multimedia files exceeds 70% of its total usage, in terms of total size or number of files, will be considered to be using an unusual amount of multimedia files.
Customer Security Responsibilities
The customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting any servers under customer control. If a customer's server is involved in an attack on another server or system, it will be shut down and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine the cause/source of the attack. In such event, the customer is responsible for the cost to rectify any damage done to the customer's server and any other requirement affected by the security breach.
Billing for Network Resources
The customer understands that the customer is responsible for paying for any network resources that are used to connect the customer's server to the Internet. The customer may request that the customer's server be disconnected from the Internet, but the customer will still be responsible for paying for any network resources used up to the point of suspension or cancellation.
Camelback Services
Camelback’s services include, but are not limited to:
Ownership of Domain Name
The legal owner of customers’ domain name and accounts with Camelback will be the individual or organization whose name is listed in Camelback’s database as the owner.

Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data, or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or that may directly facilitate the violation of any particular law or regulation is prohibited.

Spamming
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming") is prohibited, regardless of whether or not it overloads a server or disrupts service to Camelback’s customers. The term "spamming" also includes, but is not limited to, maintaining an open SMTP policy, engaging in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP and referencing in the spam a web site hosted on a Camelback server, and selling or distributing software (on a web site residing on a Camelback server) that facilitates spamming. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of US$250 and will face immediate suspension. Camelback reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.
System and Network Abuse
Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples of system or network security violations include, without limitation the following: unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without express authorization of the owner of liveSite or network; interference with Services to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks; forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

Copyright Violations

Individuals or entities submitting notifications of copyright infringement by a Camelback customer (per the DMCA) to Camelback must follow the below procedures.

Adult Content
Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on Camelback servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content or provide links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites.
Child Pornography
The use of Camelback’s Services to store, post, display, transmit, advertise or otherwise make available child pornography is prohibited. Camelback is required by law, and will, notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on, or being transmitted through, its Services.
Privacy
Camelback is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, Camelback urges its customers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. Camelback cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over Camelback's facilities. Additional details on privacy and Camelback’s use of customer information can be found in Camelback’s Privacy Statement located at https://livesite.com/privacy.
Customer Responsibility
Customers are required to use the Camelback network responsibly. This includes respecting the other customers of Camelback. Camelback reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel Services with any customer who uses the Camelback network in such a way that adversely affects other Camelback customers. While Camelback may monitor its Services electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily, as a general practice, Camelback does not monitor its customers' communications or activities to determine whether they are in compliance with the TOU. However, when Camelback becomes aware of any violation of the TOU or other user agreements, Camelback may take any action to stop or correct such violation, including, but not limited to, denying access to Camelback’s Services and equipment or to the Internet. In addition, Camelback may take action against a customer or a customer of such customer because of the activities of such customer. Camelback anticipates that customers who offer Internet Services will cooperate with Camelback in any corrective or preventive action that Camelback deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Camelback policy and Camelback reserves the right to take any such action even though such action may affect other customers of the Camelback customer.
Actions Taken by Camelback
The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the TOU is grounds for account deactivation. Camelback will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the TOU. Camelback reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice and to refuse service to anyone at any time. When Camelback becomes aware of an alleged violation of its TOU, Camelback will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, Camelback may restrict a customer's access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, Camelback may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's web hosting account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, Camelback will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the TOU if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. Camelback does not issue credits for outages incurred through service disablement resulting from TOU violations. Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by Camelback.
Indemnification
Camelback customers agree to protect, defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Camelback, any third party entity related to Camelback (including, without limitation, third party vendors), and Camelback’s executives, directors, officers, attorneys, managers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, parent companies, subsidiaries, and co-subsidiaries with the same parent company as Camelback, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, judgments, damages, claims, or causes of actions, including, without limitation, any and all legal fees and expenses, arising out of or resulting in any from the customer’s use of Camelback’s Services.

Protection. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind, but in no event shall either party exercise less than reasonable care in protecting such Confidential Information.
Compelled Disclosure.

Customers may not assign or delegate their rights or obligations under the TOU or other agreement for Camelback’s Services, either in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Camelback.
Minimum Age Requirement
Camelback customers must be at least 18 years of age. Any individual under the age of 18 years (“Minor”) must have a parent or guardian accept the TOU in order for the Minor to become a Camelback customer. A parent or guardian who accepts the TOU on behalf of a Minor will be primarily liable for ensuring complete and proper compliance with the TOU, including the timely and full payment of the charges for Camelback Services, and such primary liability will continue even when the Minor has attained the age of 18, unless the parent or guardian obtains Camelback’s express written consent to the contrary. Any acceptance of the TOU or any other agreement for Camelback’s Services will be deemed null and void to the extent that Camelback will not be liable in any way as a result of the Minor’s age or legal incapacity or the Minor’s use of Camelback’s Services.
Governing Law and Severability
The TOU, and any other agreement for Camelback Services, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, USA without reference to its conflicts of laws principles. Any litigation or arbitration between a customer and Camelback will take place in Texas, and the customer will consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in that jurisdiction. If any provision or portion of the TOU or other Camelback agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the TOU or the agreement will continue in full force and effect.
Force Majeure
Camelback will not be liable for delays in its performance of the TOU or Camelback Services caused by circumstances beyond Camelback’s reasonable control, including acts of God, wars, insurrection, civil commotions, riots, national disasters, earthquakes, strikes, fires, floods, water damage, explosions, shortages of labor or materials, labor disputes, transportation problems, accidents, embargoes, or governmental restrictions (collectively “Force Majeure”). Camelback will make reasonable efforts to reduce to a minimum and mitigate the effect of any Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere herein, lack of finances will not be considered an event of Force Majeure nor will any event of Force Majeure suspend any obligation of customers for the payment of money due.
Waiver and Amendment.
Any waiver, modification, or amendment of any provision of the TOU or other agreement for Camelback Services, initiated by a customer, will be effective only if accepted in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Camelback.

Each of Camelback and its customers will be deemed an independent contractor at all times and will have no right or authority to assume or create any obligation on behalf of the other, except as may be expressly provided herein.
Construction and Interpretation
Wherever in this TOU the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender is used, it will be construed as including all genders, and wherever the singular is used, it will be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, where the context so requires. The division of the TOU into sections/paragraphs, and the insertion of headings/captions, are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the construction or interpretation of the TOU. Any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguity is to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applicable in the construction or interpretation of the TOU.
Complete Agreement and Exclusivity
The TOU, and/or any other specific agreement for Camelback Services, constitutes the complete understanding and agreement between Camelback and its customers. Except when expressly agreed to the contrary in signed writing by an authorized representative of Camelback, the TOU supersedes any other written (including digitized/computerized) agreement, oral agreement, and/or agreement by conduct. This TOU, and/or any other specific agreement for Camelback Services is between Camelback and its customers only and will not confer any rights in any third party except as otherwise expressly provided by Camelback.

All past due and unpaid balances are subject to collection. In the event of collection, you will be liable for costs of collection including attorney’s fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

Rights to Deliverables: If you have fully paid for the assignment, you are granted an irrevocable, license to use the Deliverables. We will not provide any unique Client Deliverable in its entirety to another client. However, Deliverables often include common Techniques and Component Elements to other clients. Accordingly, Camelback has set the Fees based on its ability to provide Techniques and Component Elements in the course of this and future engagements for its other clients.
The Client acknowledges that Camelback has set the Fees based upon Camelback's understanding that the Client will use the Deliverables solely for its own internal operations (including those of its affiliates and majority-owned subsidiaries) and not for commercial distribution. Anything to the contrary requires prior written permission from Camelback, and a fee may be required for such privilege.
Testing and Acceptance Procedures: Camelback will make every good-faith effort to test all Deliverables thoroughly prior to submission. The nature of computer programming projects makes impossible for all errors and possibilities to be identified. Camelback will make every good faith attempt to correct errors that reasonably should have been identified, but outside of egregious errors, this repair time shall be billed to Client and shall be paid by Client within established Terms.
Confidential Information: Camelback and Client acknowledge and agrees that the source materials and technical and marketing plans or other sensitive business information, as specified by the Client, including all materials containing said information, that are supplied by the Client to Camelback or developed by Camelback in the course of developing any assignment Deliverables are to be considered confidential information.
Unauthorized Use and Program Licenses: The Client will indemnify Camelback against all claims and expenses arising from uses for which the Client does not have rights to or authority to use. The Client will be responsible for payment of any special licensing or royalty fees resulting from the use of software programs that require such payments.
Warranty of Originality: CLIENT EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT IT WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD CAMELBACK HARMLESS FOR ALL LIABILITY CAUSED BY THE CLIENT’S USE OF CAMELBACK’S PRODUCT TO THE EXTENT SUCH USE INFRINGES ON THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS.
Limitation of Liability: Client agrees that it shall not hold Camelback or his/her agents or employees liable for any incident or consequential damages that arise from Camelback’s failure to perform any aspect of any assignment in a timely manner, regardless of whether such failure was caused by intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Camelback or a third party. Furthermore, Camelback disclaims all implied warranties, including the warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular use.
Personnel: During the term of an engagement and for one year after its termination, if Camelback or the Client shall hire any employee or subcontractor of the other who has been directly involved in providing Services, the hiring party shall pay the other party a fee equal to the amount of the yearly compensation (salary plus bonus) of such employee or subcontractor at the time of his or her departure.
General: All engagements shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, cannot be modified or supplemented except in writing signed by both parties, and cannot be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other.
