Terms Of Service

Summary
There are legal necessities for a Terms of Service document, but to keep things in perspective, there has not yet been any circumstance that has resulted in a deliberate interruption of service to any EAPH member.

EAPH is operated with a focus on community and a commitment to offering a stable, reliable, and continuing hosting service for its members. The resources consumed by individual members are monitored and if any usage constitutes any kind of threat to the general performance of the service or any kind of threat to the financial viability of the service then individual membership is subject to suspension or termination.

When applicable, friendly, personalized help will be offered to bring resource consumption in line with that of a typical individual online auction seller and/or the option will be offered to restructure monthly payments to avoid termination. Bandwidth consumption comes under review when at any time it exceeds 1 Gigabyte (1024 Megabytes) per day. Storage space consumption comes under review when members grossly exceed the normal allocation.
