Summary

Basic Backup Service

Our basic web hosting service includes disaster recovery backups nightly on our hosting platform only. These backups are retained for 24 hours and then replaced with the latest backup files. This is in addition to utilizing the latest in RAID-10 storage array’s on all servers to prevent data loss due to a drive failure. We also regularly run file system checks to ensure the integrity of the file system. We do not back up VPS and Dedicated Servers.

Are these backups publicly accessible?

The primary purpose of this basic backup service is to protect against total data loss due to hardware or software failure. However, in the event that you need us to recover files for you, we require a minimum fee of $50.

While we make every effort to protect your data by utilizing the latest in storage & backup technology we strongly encourage customers to take frequent backups of their files and databases using Backup tools which can be found in their cPanel within their web hosting account. For logins to the cPanel please contact Cymax Media.

Important: It is your responsibility to maintain your own backups of your website. Cymax Media offers no guarantee that our disaster recovery system and/or our automated backup system will restore your website back to the way it was or you may need it.

Snapshot Remote Website Backup Service

Cymax Media offers an optional website backup service we call the “Snapshot Remote Website Backup service” (SRWBS). SRWBS is an automated, remote, cloud-based website backup service available only to our hosted clients in order to provide an additional level of security and peace-of-mind. However, with our Snapshot backup service you get an automated, remote, cloud-based backup service backs up 3 versions of your entire website – all your website files – once per week. This way clients with this service have 3 “Snapshots” – weekly backups all on a remote server. The advantage of using a remote server are to protect in the unlikely event of a catastrophic local server event. Cymax Media maintains no guarantee that our Snapshot website service or our disaster recovery system will restore your website back to the way you may need it.

  • Cymax Media as Reseller or Licensor.

Cymax Media is acting only as a reseller or licensor of certain third party services, hardware, software and equipment used in connection with the Services (“Non-Cymax Media Products”). Cymax Media shall not be responsible for any changes in the Services that cause any Non-Cymax Media Product to become obsolete, require modification or alteration, or otherwise affect the performance of the Services. Any malfunction or manufacturer’s defects of Non-Cymax Media Products either sold, licensed or provided by Cymax Media to you or purchased directly by you and used in connection with the Services will not be deemed a breach of Cymax Media’s obligations under this Agreement. Any rights or remedies you may have regarding the ownership, licensing, performance or compliance of any Non-Cymax Media Product are limited to those rights extended to you by the manufacturer of such Non-Cymax Media Product. You are entitled to use any Non-Cymax Media Product supplied by Cymax Media only in connection with your permitted use of the Services.

  • Internet Protocol (IP) Address Ownership.

If Cymax Media assigns you an Internet Protocol (“IP”) address for your use, you shall have no right to use that IP address except as permitted by Cymax Media in its sole discretion in connection with the Services during the Term. Cymax Media shall retain ownership of all IP addresses assigned to you by Cymax Media, and Cymax Media reserves the right to change or remove any and all such IP addresses in its sole discretion.

  • Resource Usage.
    • Shared Hosting
      • Acceptable Use Policy. Hosting space is intended for use in accordance with Cymax Media’s Acceptable Use Policy, and is limited to Web files, active e-mail and content of the hosted Subscriber Websites, not for storage (whether of media, e-mails, or other data). Hosting space further may not be used as offsite storage of electronic files, e-mail or FTP hosts. Cymax Media expressly reserves the right to review every user account for excessive usage of CPU, bandwidth, disk space and other resources that may be a result of your violation of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy. Cymax Media may, in its sole discretion, terminate access to the Services, apply additional fees, or remove/delete Subscriber Content for those Subscriber accounts that are found to be in violation of Cymax Media policies. You hereby agree that Cymax Media shall have no liability due to any action that Cymax Media may take, including without limitation suspension or termination of Services in connection with your violation of this section.
      • Unlimited Hosting Space; excessive MySQL files. Cymax Media does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber’s Website, nor does Cymax Media charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber’s use of storage complies with this Agreement. 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. Cymax Media may request that a Subscriber’s number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure the proper performance of the Services or may terminate the Subscriber’s account, with or without notice.
      • Unlimited File Transfer. Cymax Media does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic Subscriber Websites can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to Subscriber Websites in any given month, nor does Cymax Media charge additional fees based on the increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber’s use of the Services complies with this Agreement. In most cases, Subscriber Websites will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, Cymax Media reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.
  • Technical Support Services.
    • Except as described otherwise stated below, Cymax Media will provide technical support via chat and phone for the Services (“Technical Support Services”). You will be required to provide as much information as possible to aid our investigation into any issues or problems. By utilizing Cymax Media’s Technical Support Services, you grant Cymax Media permission to access your account, if necessary, to resolve your issue. You agree that Cymax Media and its agents and employees are not liable for any damage resulting from the provision of customer support.
    • Ineligibility for Technical Support Services. Cymax Media will not provide Technical Support Services if: (a) you are in breach of this Agreement; (b) the need for Technical Support Services is due to (i) any modification or attempted modification of the Services by you or any third party outside of Cymax Media’s control, or (ii) your failure or refusal to implement changes recommended by Cymax Media; or (c) you are abusive toward our staff in any manner.
    • VPS and Dedicated Servers. Cymax Media will provide a default operating system installation on the dedicated server hardware that permits super-user server access to our support staff. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that if Subscriber alters or removes this server access, Cymax Media’s ability to provide technical support to the Subscriber may be severely limited.
  • Disclaimer.

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services, including any information or content obtained through the Services, is at your own risk. You further acknowledge and agree that Cymax Media exercises no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content of the information passing through Cymax Media’s host computers, network hubs and points of presence or the Internet.

    • NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, CYMAX MEDIA’S LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO CYMAX MEDIA FOR THE SERVICES IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INITIAL ACTION GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. THIS IS AN AGGREGATE LIMIT. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM HEREUNDER WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT. NO ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OUT OF THE SERVICES MAY BE BROUGHT BY YOU, THE SUBSCRIBER, MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE EVENT WHICH GAVE RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW A LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE THAT CAUSES DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY AND, IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, CYMAX MEDIA’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
  • Indemnification.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Cymax Media Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, suits, actions, demands, proceedings (whether legal or administrative), and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees) threatened, asserted, or filed by a third party against any of the Cymax Media Parties arising out of or relating to (i) your use of the Services, (ii) any breach or violation by you of this Agreement; or (iii) any of your acts or omissions, except to the extent any of the foregoing directly results from Cymax Media’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The terms of this section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

  • Governing Law and Arbitration.
    • Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

    • Arbitration.

For all Subscribers who signed up for or purchased Services on or after
April 1, 2017, the following terms shall also apply:

      • Cymax Media and you (such references include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns) agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement between Cymax Media and you.
      • A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send written notice to Cymax Media’s Legal Department of its intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Cymax Media should be sent by any of the following means: (i) electronic mail to info@Cymax Media.com; or (ii) sending the Notice by U.S. Postal Service certified mail to Cymax Media llc., Attn: Daniel Clawson, 1023 Buttermilk Road, Larkspur, Colorado 80118. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Cymax Media may commence an arbitration proceeding.
      • The arbitration shall be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by the AAA. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, provided, however, that the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.
      • In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Cymax Media will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is improper or not warranted, as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), then the payment of arbitration costs shall be governed by the Arbitration Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Cymax Media for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Arbitration Rules. If the arbitrator grants relief to you that is equal to or greater than the value of your demand, Cymax Media shall reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred for the arbitration.
      • You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Cymax Media are waiving the right to a trial by jury.
      • If you initiate litigation or any other proceeding against Cymax Media in violation of this section, you agree to pay Cymax Media’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with its enforcement of this section.
      • The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
      • ARBITRATION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS NEITHER YOU NOR CYMAX MEDIA MAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHER SUBSCRIBERS, OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. Further, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration clause shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
  • Miscellaneous.
    • Backups. For its own operational efficiencies and purposes, Cymax Media from time to time backs up data on its servers, but is under no obligation or duty to Subscriber to do so under this Agreement. IT IS SOLELY SUBSCRIBER’S DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO BACKUP SUBSCRIBER’S FILES AND DATA ON CYMAX MEDIA SERVERS, AND under no circumstance will Cymax Media be liable to anyone FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND under any legal theory for loss of Subscriber files and/or data on any Cymax Media server. Cymax Media will not attempt to back up accounts that exceed 50,000 files or 30 Gigs of space for any reason and does not maintain any backups of dedicated accounts.
    • Independent Contractor. Cymax Media and Subscriber are independent contractors and nothing contained in this Agreement places Cymax Media and Subscriber in the relationship of principal and agent, partners or joint venturers.

    • Severability. If any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intention of the parties that the remaining provisions or portions (unless otherwise specified) thereof shall constitute their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all such remaining provisions or portions (unless otherwise specified) thereof shall remain in full force and effect.
    • Waiver. No failure or delay by any party hereto to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy by any party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No express waiver or assent by any party hereto to any breach of or default in any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of or an assent to any succeeding breach of or default in the same or any other term or condition hereof.

    • Force Majeure. Neither party is liable for any default or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement (other than failure to make payments when due) if such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by forces beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, fire, flood, acts of God, labor disputes, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, interruptions of transportation or communications, supply shortages or the failure of any third party to perform any commitment relative to the production or delivery of any equipment or material required for such party to perform its obligations hereunder.
    • Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall anything herein be construed to confer any rights in any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that any supplier of a third-party product or service that is identified as a third-party beneficiary in the Service description, is an intended third-party beneficiary of the provisions set forth in this Agreement as they relate specifically to its products or services and shall have the right to enforce directly the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to its products nor services against you as if it were a party to this Agreement.
