CountyStart Networks reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice and to refuse service to anyone at any time. When CountyStart Networks becomes aware of an alleged violation of its TOU, CountyStart Networks will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, CountyStart Networks may restrict a customer's access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, CountyStart Networks may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's web hosting account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, CountyStart Networks will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the TOU if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. CountyStart Networks does not issue credits for outages incurred through service disablement resulting from TOU violations. Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by CountyStart Networks.
