Please refer to the following page.
https://www.internetbrothers.co.kr/cancellation
Resource Usage for shared hosting only
User may not: a) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
b) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
c) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
d) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
e) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
f) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
g) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
h) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include(“include.php”)
INODES for shared hosting
The number of Inodes depends on your plan but generally, The use of more than 100,000 inodes on the shared account is not allowed. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000~ inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. For customized shared hosting, we allow more inodes. Please contact us in advance and let us know about the nature of your site.
Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build-up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit.
Bandwidth Usage
Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Reseller: Client Responsibility
Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. Internet Brothers does not provide support to our Reseller’s Clients. If a reseller’s client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients’ behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients’. Internet Brothers will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service.
Indemnification

Site Development – Terms of Service
We have tried to outline everything that you need to know about our website development terms of service and we have made every effort to do this without getting into confusing “legal speak”. Please read through all of it to ensure that you know and understand all the terms. If you are unclear on anything, please don’t hesitate to contact us by email or telephone.
1. The quotation incorporates all items covered in the client’s proposal/quote, including 1 material amendment to the original mandate. Additional amendments thereafter can incur additional costs. This does not include basic tweaking or minor changes that are required to achieve the desired “polish” on the site, which forms part of the original quotation.
2. Should the client not be happy with the design of the site (aesthetics and layout), any changes/ amendments/ alterations that are required to achieve the design that the client is happy with will bare no additional cost, provided that these do not constitute a major amendment to the original mandate, in which case the limitations in point 2 above will apply.
3. In the unlikely event that the client had to dislike the entire site, we would do a complete custom redesign at no extra cost. Provided that we have followed the client’s design specifications, this is limited to one redesign. However, if the site is still not satisfactory because the client changed the requirements, the second redesign would bear an additional cost to the client.
4. The client’s quotation is of necessity based on various assumptions, which, if proven incorrect, may need the quotation to be revised. In such an event the quotation automatically becomes null and void and subject to a new quotation.
Assumptions: * All content and required graphics will be provided by the client unless otherwise agreed in writing.* Copywriting (and copy typing) is not included in the site design fee, except to the extent of basic editing. Please note that this is not the same as copyright (ownership), which vests with the client as soon as full payment has been received. * Graphics provided by the client will be of high quality and usable, failing which delays in timing and/or additional costs may come into effect, for which Internet Brothers may not be held liable in any way.* Any time periods quoted assume no delays caused by the client and may be extended to take account of any such delays.
5. Once the concept has been created, this would be uploaded to a private area on the internet so that the overall look, feel and effect can be reviewed by the client. All tweaking and refining would be shown at this hidden address until the site is approved by the client, at which point final upload will be to the client’s domain.
6. A 50% deposit is payable as confirmation of order prior to commencement, with the balance payable within 5 days of completion.
7. The client is afforded an additional 5 working days after final upload as a final proofing period for critique and amendments. All required amendments that are communicated to us within this period form part of the original quotation. Amendments required after this period would bear an additional cost.* If the site is not hosted on our servers, the onus is on the client to provide us with the relevant server specifications, prior to the commencement of the website being built. Should the client fail to provide such specifications and any feature or function on the website fails to work properly because of incompatibility with the client’s server, the client will be liable for any fees associated with related redevelopment time.
8. Once the website has been developed it is uploaded onto the client’s domain or on a Internet Brothers domain, but remains inaccessible to the public. This is to afford the client the opportunity to evaluate the site and request any tweaks or changes that fall within the agreement.
9. Once the site is approved, hand-over will take place. From the time of handover the client is entitled to an additional *30 days free support to allow for issues that may not be identifiable prior to handover. In this time further tweaks and adjustments can be made as long as they fall within the scope of the original mandate.
10. Deposits are not refundable once work has commenced on the project or if the project is cancelled after 36 hours of payment of the deposit.
11. Handover will take place after payment of the final balance due on the development fee.
12. Dynamic and e-commerce websites are only developed if they will initially be hosted on one of our servers. This is to ensure that everything works 100%, Please note: This does not mean that clients are under any obligation to continue hosting the site with Internet Brothers. Clients are free to change to another hosting company at any time after handover of the site.Due to the fact that we have no control over how other servers are managed, upgrades and maintenance are unfortunately only available on those sites that we have developed and while they are hosted on our servers.
13. Payment of the full balance outstanding for the development of the site must have been paid within 5 days of the relevant invoice.
14. Support does not cover all aspects of user-inflicted damage. If a problem occurs because of something that the client has done, we are happy to assist wherever possible, but an additional fee may be charged depending on the time required to rectify the problem.
15. Support does cover minor modifications to existing features and functions.
16. Support is limited on sites that are not hosted on our servers. We recommend that clients host on our servers until at least such time as it is certain that there are no glitches and the site is operating 100%. This makes any troubleshooting that may be required much quicker and easier to accomplish.
17. Ownership of all websites or software that we create vests with Internet Brothers and therefore remains the property of Internet Brothers until such time as full payment has been received. Once full payment has been received, all copyright and full ownership pass to the client. Should the client abort the project or default on the payment, Internet Brothers reserve the right to rebrand, adapt and sell the website or software to a third-party in order to defray expenses. Internet Brothers reserves the right to alter or amend these and all other terms and conditions at any time and without warning.
The terms stipulated on this website will always be the current applicable terms and will supersede the terms in any download document. Should Internet Brothers at any time not enforce any of the above for any reason, this does not in any way preclude us from enforcing any or all of the above terms at any time.
