Policy
This agreement is between
5sterling.com/WirralNet, herein referred to as provider, and
subscribers to our streaming media service packages, herein referred
to as client. This agreement is effective for any period during
which the client is a subscriber of any streaming media service
offered/provided by 5sterling.com.
1. Over Streaming: Any client found to be streaming at a bit
rate higher then they have paid for will have their service
terminated. This is to maintain both quality of service for other
users of the 5sterling.com service and also to prevent abuse of the
service.
2. Content: Client agrees to take sole responsibility for all
content, including audio streaming, webpages, and any other service
that is utilized. Provider is not liable for any action taken
against a client as a result of their stream content or web content.
3. Content Restrictions: Provider will not actively monitor
the content of client's broadcasts or website. Client will not,
however, use server resources for any illegal activity, including
the sharing of copyrighted programs, cracks, and serials, as well as
slanderous material. Client will not run any program or robot that
is specifically designed to bog down server resources.
4. Licenses: Client is solely responsible for any applicable
license fees for their location. Provider does not award free
licensing to clients, including (but not limited to) BPA, ASCAP,
BMI, SESAC or RIAA.
5. Liability: Provider will not be held liable for any
injury, loss of business, loss of property, loss of data, or other
mishap caused by the use of provider's services or provider error.
Provider is hereby waived of any legal obligation pertaining to the
use of our service.
6. Spam: Client will not use our resources to transmit bulk
or spam Email. This is defined as mail sent to a large group of
recipients who did not expressly request to be sent the mail.
7. Privacy: Provider will not release any personal
information about our clients, unless permission is expressly
granted. Some information may be made public, if client chooses to
list their content in our online directory.
8. Payment: Payment for services will be collected before an
account is created. Payment for subsequent months will be charged on
the clients anniversary date, defined as the day of the month that
they signed up for service, unless client is told otherwise. If
payment is not received by the due date, the client will, at the
discretion of the provider, be given a 5 day grace period in which
to make full payment. After this period, the server will be
suspended unless otherwise agreed, and the account will be
terminated after a further 28 days have elapsed.
9. Refund Policy: Once service has been established, payment
will not be refunded for any reason. However, should there be a
degradation in quality of service and/or severe outage, the company
reserves the right to offer the client a partial or full refund, and
in extreme cases financial compensation in the form of credit on the
clients account.
10. 5sterling.com reserves the right: to cancel any DNAS
account(s) for any reason it deems necessary.

any time. If such changes are made, clients will be informed of the
revisions at least 7 days before they take effect.
