and then:you keep on whining on public forums, you keep on submitting multiple tickets, spamming our helpdesk, and trying to slander/bash us for running out stock when YOU did not pay in time.
I've cancelled/terminated your plan and issued you a full refund. In addition, your account will be permanently closed and you are also permanently banned/prohibited from accessing our website, client area, are blacklisted from our SolusVM, and will be reported to the FraudRecord database for your actions. In all due respects, I will say this as bluntly as possible: We are NOT going to be putting up with you anymore. We've had it.
http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/19282/a-customer-from-greenvaluehostOP wasn't reported for fraud. Helpdesk abuse/ticket spamming/slandering is more like it. FR serves a multitude of purposes.
OP was issued a perma ban for reasons described in my previous post.
It's perfectly legal. I'm not saying I'd sign up for service with someone who had that in their TOS, but it's legal.What? That thing holds in court? That cannot be legal.. surely.... shiiitt
It's legal* to add to your contract, but it actually isn't enforceableWhat? That thing holds in court? That cannot be legal.. surely.... shiiitt
Why not?It's legal* to add to your contract, but it actually isn't enforceable
Not all NDAs/no-compete clauses are enforceable either, our laws are set up so 'age-old contract law' has actual limitations to it, it's not completely boiled down to "you signed it, now you're fucked"Why not?
There are all sort of contracts in which people promise not to say something about something, and pay a penalty if they do. An NDA is an example. Employment contracts are sometimes another.
It's impossible for a host to prevent me from posting a negative comment about them if I've never been a customer, but if I agreed to a contract in which I said they could charge me $250,000 if I post a negative review, that's something I agreed to.

For any customer-vendor agreement that one party can’t realistically negotiate or make changes to, the CRFA would void any clause that:
- Restricts the customer’s ability to post a review of the vendor,
- Imposes a fee against customers for leaving negative reviews, or
- Transfers any intellectual property rights in a review to the vendor.
It would also make it illegal for businesses to extend contracts like that to their customers.
Communications with or submitted to Incero including but not limited to emails, support tickets, chats, and voice conversations are the exclusive property of Incero and are not to be copied, shared, or otherwise reproduced without prior explicit written permission from Incero
Declares a provision of a form contract to be void from the inception if it: (1) prohibits or restricts a person who is a party to the contract from engaging in written, verbal, or pictorial reviews, or other similar performance assessments or analyses of, the products, services, or conduct of a business that is a party to the contract; (2) imposes penalties or fees against persons who engage in such communications; or (3) transfers or requires the individual to transfer any intellectual property rights in any such otherwise lawful communications about the person or the goods or services provided by the person or business. (Thus, bars certain contract provisions that prohibit consumers from commenting publicly about businesses.)
