The following terms of service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you", "self", "client(s)", "subscriber", "customer", "recipient") and Sullivan's Hosting LLC ("company", "we", "us", "site" or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the https://sullivanshosting.com website as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website, mobile application related, control panel, linked, or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the "site"). We are registered in Massachusetts, United States. Our registered mailing address is 482 Southbridge Street, #335, Auburn, MA 01501. You agree by accessing the site, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these terms of service. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANY OR ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SITE AND YOU MUST DISCOUNTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Supplemental terms of service or documents that may be posted on the site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these terms of service from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "last updated" date of these terms of service, as well as issue an email to any and all active and registered clients. You will be subject to, and will be deemed to have been made aware of and to have accepted, the changes in any revised terms of service by your continued use of the site and services provided by us after the date such terms of service are posted.

The information provided on the site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction, or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The site is not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), etc.), so if your interactions would be subjected to such laws, you may not use this site. You may not use the site in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach, Bliley Act (GLBA).

All users who are minors in the jurisdiction in which they reside (generally under the age of 18) must have the permission of, and be directly supervised by, their parent or guardian to use the site. If you are a minor, you must have your parent or guardian read and agree to these terms of service prior to you using the site.

By accepting these terms of service, you are also agreeing to our privacy policy.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Unless otherwise indicated, the site is our proprietary property and all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics on the site (collectively, the "content") and the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "marks") are owned or controlled by us, licensed to us, or available for public use, and are protected by copyright and trademark laws and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws of the United States, international copyright laws, and international conventions.

All of our services are billed according to the dates they were first activated on. In the event a client's account becomes delinquent we will make reasonable effort to contact the client informing them of their delinquency, and their services will become suspended the following day after the invoice due date. After the 31st day of delinquency, the client's data will be destroyed and will no longer be available for recovery.

UPTIME GUARANTEE

We offer our clients a 99.99% uptime guarantee. In the event we fall short of that 99.99% uptime guarantee (measured monthly), we will happily provide the client with a credit based on the situation, and the amount of downtime that occured. However, credits can not and will not be issued for the following reasons:
- DDoS Attacks
