You agree to waive any cause of action or claim you may have against eCuras LLC for such action.

We reserve the full right to temporarily or permanently suspend any account, in our sole discretion.
You acknowledge and agree that inbound UDP is not supported in shared hosting environments.
Our Cloud Hosting plans (production and testing plans), are designed for high traffic and performance, and thus we offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space. This means that we do not set a limit on the amount of bandwidth, 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 your Cloud Hosting plan, or we may take action to restrict the resources your website is utilizing.

Each covenant and agreement in this Agreement shall be construed for all purposes to be a separate and independent covenant or agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision (or portion of a provision) of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions (or portions of provisions) of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be found to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
