This includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries, wrong delivery, and any and all service interruptions caused by PacInfo.

Change of Name-servers: In cases of new hosting accounts which involve the change of name-servers of a domain from other DNS servers to PacInfo's DNS servers, such changes may in some cases take several days, weeks or longer depending on the accessibility of control options at the respective registrar of the domain registration. It is possibly that if the registrar (or the entity having control over the domain registration) is not cooperative, the domain name-servers can not be changed at all. Due to the unpredictable nature of the name-server change process, no guarantees are made regarding the amount of time a specific change may take. If the name-server change of the domain is done by PacInfo on behalf of the account holder a handling fee will be incurred (unless the hosting plan includes such a change for free). If you cancel service during the name-server change period for any reason, all charges are considered earned.

You agree to give PacInfo Internet Services the right to charge your account or credit card up to the maximum legal penalty under Oregon State law, per occurrence and/or complaint, if in PacInfo’s sole opinion, the company determines that your account was used to send UCE / SPAM to non opt-in recipients.
