By submitting content and data to DragonStack, Subscriber grants to DragonStack, its successors and assigns, the worldwide, royalty-free, and nonexclusive license under Subscriber's copyrights and other rights, if any, in all material and content displayed in Subscriber's web site to use, distribute, display, reproduce, and create derivative works from such material in any and all media, in order to maintain such content on DragonStack's servers during the term of these Terms. Subscriber also authorizes the downloading and printing of such material, or any portion thereof, by end-users for their personal use. This license shall terminate upon Subscriber's cancellation of the Services as set forth in Paragraphs 2.01 and 3.0.
Transfer of Ownership. DragonStack is not responsible to determine ownership of websites hosted by, accounts opened with, or domains registered with DragonStack or its affiliates. By accessing DragonStack's system, registering, or using any of the services provided by DragonStack, the Subscriber, or any other person so accessing, registering or using, hereby represents and warrants that the information provided in connection with said registration, including as well information concerning ownership of websites, domains, and accounts, is true, accurate, and complete in each material detail.

Disputing Site or Account Ownership. Disputes sometimes arise between or among multiple persons claiming ownership of or rights in a site hosted by DragonStack or in an associated DragonStack account. DragonStack is not obligated to resolve any such disputes. If multiple persons are claiming ownership of or rights in a site hosted by DragonStack or in an associated DragonStack account, and, in J DragonStack's sole judgment, there is not certainty as to the ownership of or rights in said site or account, then DragonStack will, to the extent of its knowledge and ability, notify said persons of the dispute and demand that said persons promptly, conclusively, and finally resolve the dispute in a manner which makes clear who the owner(s) and/or interest holder(s) is/are and in a manner which relieves DragonStack of all liability or obligations concerning the dispute. If the disputing persons fail so to resolve the dispute within what DragonStack, in its sole judgment, deems to be a reasonable time, then DragonStack, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may, in accordance with and subject to the laws of England & Wales, file an interpleader action in a court of competent jurisdiction within the law of England & Wales for the purpose of allowing the contending persons to resolve said dispute and to reach certainty regarding ownership of or rights in said site and/or account. The person or persons conclusively and finally determined by the interpleader action to be the rightful owner(s) or interest holder(s) of said site and/or associated account shall be obligated to reimburse DragonStack for all of its expenses relative to said interpleader action including without limit all its court costs and reasonable attorney fees. All amounts owed to DragonStack under this section 5.03 shall be deemed due and payable immediately upon thirty (30) days after judgment or settlement is reached.
Commitment. The DragonStack commitment to our Subscribers' privacy is set forth in this section. Except as required by law or as otherwise provided herein, DragonStack will take commercially reasonable steps to ensure your right to privacy. DragonStack is committed to developing long lasting relationships that are built on trust and will never intentionally violate that trust.
Encryption. When Subscriber orders from DragonStack, Personal Data Transmissions are encrypted. When Subscriber orders from DragonStack, all of Subscriber's personal information is protected. DragonStack uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry standard, for encrypting all personal information, including name, address and credit card numbers.
Confidentiality. With the exception of trusted business affiliates and/or associates who work on behalf of or in connection with DragonStack, subject to specific confidentiality agreements, DragonStack will not provide or sell to any third party your personal information and will keep all Subscriber information confidential, subject to the following:
Upon registration, certain Subscriber information is transferred to WHOIS (domain registration information), to our affiliated third-party registrar, InternetBS, LeaseWeb (Hosting and Email) and to StartCom (SSL cert. creation).
DragonStack will respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process, and will utilize Subscriber information as necessary to establish or exercise DragonStack's legal rights or defend against legal claims. DragonStack will charge the person or entity for submitting a civil subpoena for costs associated with subpoena compliance. Payment must be made within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the DragonStack invoice. Checks should be made out to DragonStack Europe.

DragonStack will share information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations or suspected violations of these Terms, or as otherwise required by law.
When we are threatened with suit by a third party, or any other legal action brought to our attention involving us based on the anonymity of the domain, we may seek assurance from you the customer concerning your promise to indemnify us and written notice that you have contacted the plaintiff or representative for the complainant and made your contact information available to them. Failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain name and forfeit the right to privacy on a domain. A pro-rated refund will be issued to the payment method on file for the remaining unused service.
What "Unlimited" means. DragonStack does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Subscriber can use for certain packages. In good faith and subject to these Terms, DragonStack makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Subscribers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites or Steaming successfully, as long as the Subscriber's use of the service complies with these Terms. By not setting limits on key resources on certain packages, we are able to provide simple, consistent pricing to our Subscribers as they grow their websites. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and resulting increased storage without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.
What "Unlimited" DOES NOT mean. DragonStack employs complex mechanisms to protect its Subscribers and systems from abuse. DragonStack's offering of "unlimited" services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Subscribers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Subscribers. Some DragonStack services are a shared hosting service, which means that multiple Subscriber web sites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. DragonStack's service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website Subscribers. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server. DragonStack will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Subscribers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, DragonStack does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until DragonStack can evaluate said sites resource needs.
Unlimited Hosting Space; excessive MySQL files. DragonStack does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber's website on certain packages, provided the Subscriber's use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the DragonStack service is designed to host websites. DragonStack does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber's account, with or without notice. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. DragonStack may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber's account, with or without notice.
Unlimited File Transfer. DragonStack does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic a web site can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to his/her/its website in a given month, nor does DragonStack charge additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber's use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Subscriber's web site will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, DragonStack reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.
Unlimited Domain Hosting. DragonStack does not set arbitrary limits on the number of domain names a Subscriber can associate with the Subscriber's web hosting account on certain packages.
General Purposes. DragonStack understands that many of its Subscribers are concerned about "cookies", which are electronic collections of information stored on the local computer of a person using the worldwide web and which are used chiefly by websites to keep track of visitors and registered users and to relate one computer transaction to a later one.
