5.4 SPAM or Unsolicited Commercial Email
Forex Studio has zero tolerance for the sending of SPAM or Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) over our network. Forex Studio Customers cannot send UCE and cannot host sites or information advertised in UCE. Customers are also responsible for the actions of their clients and must take all reasonable precautions to secure their servers and sites against SPAM exploits (e.g. open email relays and insecure cgi scripts).
Violating our UCE or SPAM policy will result in penalties. Upon detection or notification of a violation of our UCE policy, Forex Studio will initiate an immediate investigation. During this time, outgoing mail may be suspended from the offending IP address to prevent further violations. If a client is found to be in violation of our UCE policy, Forex Studio will impose penalties and/or, at its discretion, restrict or terminate the offending account and the Customer's access to our network. Repeated or serious violations may result in the immediate termination of the account.
5.5 Forex Studio Administrative Login and Management Software
To facilitate network/server management, inventory and related activities, all Forex Studio Servers include a Forex Studio administrative account and password and/or a Forex Studio daemon. All reasonable precautions are taken by Forex Studio to maintain the security of these tools and the privacy of client data. Customers must not tamper, hinder, delete, or in any way change the functioning of these tools. To do so intentionally or otherwise is grounds for the immediate suspension of Customer's hosting account.
5.6 Fair usage of shared, burstable resources
For some shared resources we require that customers do not continuously use an unreasonable excess of those resources (using them in a burstable fashion is, of course, entirely acceptable). Examples of an excess might include continuously & actively using swap on a VPS rather than upgrading RAM, running software that uses all available CPU constantly (such as SETI@Home) or continuously using many times the base-allocation of unmetered bandwidth. In such circumstances we reserve the right, at our discretion, to request that the client cease such activities or be forcibly upgraded to a more suitable package or, in the case of excess use of unmetered bandwidth, be moved to a metered bandwidth connection.
5.7 Account Cancellation
This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is not exhaustive. Forex Studio has the right to refuse service to anyone at any time WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds of fees paid will be made if account termination is due to a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy as outlined above.
6. Response Times
Response Times; Response time is defined as the time it takes to identify a fault and report back to the customer by either of the following methods; E-Mail, or telephone call. The customer is responsible for ensuring that Forex Studio has the correct contact details. Response times of non-urgent questions or queries via e-mail will be dealt with in business hours.
7. Network Uptime
Forex Studio endeavours to provide as reliable a network infrastructure as possible to its Customers.
The network is defined as core network infrastructure excluding the hardware, services and software running on your server. Network downtime is measured from the moment the Customer notifies a Forex Studio support representative of a network failure to the time the Network responds to an external ping request. Notification of network failure must occur at the time of the outage and not after the fact.
8. Temporary Service Suspension
The Customer agrees that it may be necessary for Forex Studio to temporarily suspend Services for technical reasons or to maintain the Forex Studio network, the equipment or any other facilities, the timing of which will be as determined by Forex Studio. Such suspension of the Services will not be an interruption of the Forex Studio Services for the purpose of calculating network availability or the Customer's entitlement to credit for network interruption.
9. Emergency Service Suspension
Forex Studio may interrupt the Services at any time for any duration of time, without penalty or liability for any claim by the Customer, where necessary to prevent improper or unlawful use of Forex Studio Services or network. Such suspension of Services will not be an interruption for the purpose of calculating network availability or the Customer's entitlement to credit for network interruption.
10. Compromised /Hacked Server
A compromised or hacked server is a serious threat to our network. Forex Studio, at its sole discretion, will take any and all measures to prevent a compromised server from doing additional damage to its own system and files or to the rest of the network.
If you believe your system may have been hacked, immediately report the situation to Forex Studio technical support. Forex Studio will examine your system and may implement additional monitoring of your system.
If a Forex Studio System Administrator believes a server on our network is compromised, Forex Studio will:
1. disconnect the server from the network
2. contact the client
3. provide evidence of the server being hacked

If, despite the foregoing limitations, Forex Studio or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees or representatives should become liable to Customer or any other person in connection with this agreement for ANY REASON, then the maximum aggregate liability of Forex Studio, its members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and representatives for all such things and to all such parties will be limited to the lesser of the actual amount of loss or damage suffered by the claimant or the amount payable by Customer to Forex Studio for one month of service under this agreement.
13. Indemnity
Customer will indemnify and save harmless Forex Studio and its members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives from and against all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including actual legal fees and costs), fines and liabilities incurred by or awarded, asserted or claimed against Forex Studio or any of its members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and representatives in connection with Customer's negligence, activities or omissions, or breaches of its obligations under this agreement, including claims brought by a person using or relying upon any advice given or publication produced and distributed by Customer.

18. Trade Copying
Forex, spread bets and CFDs are leveraged products. They may not be suitable for you as they carry a high degree of risk to your capital and you can lose more than your investment. You should ensure you understand all of the risks. The Trade Copier services provided are not a recommendation to buy or sell, but rather a set of tools to facilitate the execution of a specified analysis method. This information should only be used by investors who are aware of the risk inherent with trading.
Very Important - Trade Copying does not guarantee anything. The user is responsible for any trades generated by the trade copier. By using the trade copier service, the user acknowledges that they are in complete control of the product, can turn it off, modify risk settings and trades at any time. It is highly recommended that you test any signals generated by the trade copier in a demo environment to verify that it in fact functions to your expectation.
Please be aware that while the demo environment is similar to the live environment there will be differences in the way trades are processed and executed.
Forex Studio does not take responsibility for any electronic or technological errors that occur while using the trade copier. In particular, Forex Studio is not responsible for any costs or losses, including, but not limited to, those incurred as a result of the use of the trade copier. In no case shall Forex Studio have any liability that exceeds the amount of a single month's license fee.
19. Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the law of England, and the Customer agrees that any court action brought under this agreement shall be brought in the jurisdiction of England.
