In the event these limitations are exceeded, your site may slow down or not be served until more resources are added. More resources may be added for additional fees.
h) Unlimited Disk Space/Bandwidth/Website Plans: Web Hosting plans are designed to host most personal, small business and organization websites, and thus we offer unlimited bandwidth and some plans offer unlimited disk space and websites. This means that we do not set a limit on the amount of bandwidth, websites or disk space you may use in the operation of your website, provided it complies with this Agreement. In the event the bandwidth, number of websites or disk space usage of your website presents a risk to the stability, performance or uptime of our servers, data storage, networking or other infrastructure, you may be required to upgrade to a VPS or Dedicated Server, or we may take action to restrict the resources your website is utilizing.

Customers may use their own scripts on the server without administration approval. However, if it is determined in Codyco’s sole discretion that the scripts are in any way affecting the servers Codyco reserves the right, immediately and without prior notice to Customer, to disable the scripting. Customer will be notified once disabling has occurred. More specifically, if a script is found to over-utilize the server in any way, access to the web directory where scripts are held will be disabled and the scripts will be rendered useless. It is then the responsibility of the Customer to fix the script and prove that there has been a change. Once Codyco receives the details of changes in writing, Codyco will turn the scripting back on (usually this takes about three (3) days). If the script is not fixed, Customer access to the web directory where scripts are held will be turned off indefinitely. The Customer must then recode the script and prove to Codyco that the script will not negatively impact the server, which shall be confirmed in Codyco’s sole discretion. Once Customer has adequately satisfied Codyco that the script is acceptable, Codyco will then re-enable the script. If the problem persists, services will be terminated for that Customer and will not be re-enabled. Scripts should be enabled to access files or directories within their own root level. Nothing will be «registered to the server» under any circumstance. If a script does not work because of calling outside its directory, Codyco will not assume responsibility or offer aid: it is the customer accountability to troubleshoot the script.
l) Customer Representation and Account Information: Customer shall inform Codyco and keep Codyco current with true and accurate information regarding any changes to the Customer’s designated representative employees or agents authorized to instruct Codyco, billing and account information, including address, phone, email, domain name or fax number changes.
