However, at all urgent occasions, we will send out an e-mail to inform all of our clients for any maintenance that is about to take place.
When clients have been noticed up to two hours before scheduled maintenance, services downtime do not meet the required criteria for the uptime guarantee.
Refunds are estimated as following:
- 0 minutes - 45 minutes of downtime per month - (100% - 99.9% uptime) - no refund
- 45 minutes - 3 hours and 30 minutes: of downtime per month - (99.9% - 99.5% uptime) - 5% refund
- 3 hours and 30 minutes - 7 hours and 15 minutes of downtime per month - (99.5% - 99% uptime) - 10% refund
- 7 hours and 15 minutes - 14 hours and 30 minutes of downtime per month - (99% - 98% uptime) - 15% refund
- 14 hours and 30 minutes - 1,5 days of downtime per month - (98% - 95% uptime) - 25% refund

Acceptable Use Policy
Revision date: 08/12/2009
As a provider of web site hosting and other Internet-related services,
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. offers its customers (also known as "Subscribers")
and their customers and users the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth
of public, private, commercial and non-commercial information. ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion
and dissemination of information. However, when there are competing interests
at issue, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. reserves the right to take certain preventive
or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests,
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"),
which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective
service agreement, and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights
and obligations when using ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.' services. This AUP will be revised
from time to time.
One important aspect of the Internet is that no one partly owns or controls
it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value,
but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of
those who use it, both in the information they acquire and in the information
they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through
the Internet, they must keep in mind that ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. cannot monitor,
verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information
they acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her
best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and
also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet may be
sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. cannot
monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers resulting
from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive or illegal Internet communications.
When subscribers disseminate information from the Internet, they must
keep in mind that ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. does not review, edit, censor or take
responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users
place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other
authors for copyright infringement, defamation and other harmful speech.
Also, because the information created is carried over the ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers
and non-subscribers of ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E., subscribers' postings to the Internet
may affect other subscribers and may affect ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.' goodwill,
business, reputation or operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. policy and the Service Agreement when they, their customers,
affiliates or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:
Spamming:
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet.
It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes
toward ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E., but also because it can overload ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.'
network and disrupt service to ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.' subscribers. Also,
maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received,
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. will investigate and shutdown the account that is
SPAMing.
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. reserves
the right to prosecute for this violation. A €1000 charge will be assessed
PER EMAIL sent should ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. choose to pursue and prosecute.

activity).
Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses or Other
Destructive Activities:

viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing or denial

Facilitating a Violation of this AUP:
Advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available any software,

Other Activities:
Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill
or customer relations.
As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities
just described rests primarily with the subscriber. ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. will
not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers
to ensure that the comply with ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.' policy or applicable law.

take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited
to, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening
software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to
the Internet, or any other action deemed appropriate by ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E..
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. is also aware that many of its subscribers are themselves
providers of Internet services, and that information reaching the ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer
of the subscriber or from another third party. ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. does not
require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor
transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
reserves the right to directly take action against a customer of its subscribers.
Also, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. may take action against the ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.' subscriber
because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the
action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate
with ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. in any corrective or preventive action that ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive
measures is a violation of ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. policy.
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail
messages sent or receive by its subscribers, unless required to do so
by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its
facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. may disclose
information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber,
a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply
with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute,
regulation or governmental request. ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. assumes not obligation
to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided
and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice.
Finally, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. may disclose subscriber information or information
transmitted over its network where necessary to protect ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper
operation of the system. However, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. will never sell information
to other services or outside companies.
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services
to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy
of online communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those
laws will violate ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. policy. Finally, ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. wishes
to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify
ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
policy resulting in loss to ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. or the bringing of any claim
against ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. by any third party. This means that, if ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E.
is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity,
the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded
against ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E., plus costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet
users, including ProWebSector - M.Maravelias D.Petrakis O.E. and its subscribers, as responsible
members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation
of this AUP should be sent to info@prowebsector.gr.
