Your customers are given a limited amount of transfer and if we feel that one of your customers are using up more transfer than allocated or are taking up too much of the CPU usage then we will need to pass some of the extra cost on to you and you will need to pass it on to your customer. You will need to put that in your terms and conditions for the hosting. You can monitor your customer’s bandwidth in their control panel. You agree that neither you nor your customers can hold us responsible for the services that you offer. Your customers have to abide by the same terms and conditions as you do, or we have the right to cancel any of your reseller accounts.
