The Terms of Service on this page supersedes any other agreement with Amplex, whether written, oral, by conduct, or otherwise. Continued use of Amplex’s services indicates your acceptance of this policy.

  1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT, AND UNDER NO THEORY OF LAW OR EQUITY, WILL AMPLEX (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AMPLEX’S EXECUTIVES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, ATTORNEYS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, MERCHANTS, LICENSORS, OR THE LIKE) OR ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DISTRIBUTING AMPLEX’S SERVICES, BE LIABLE FOR THE LOSS OF A DOMAIN NAME, OR ANY BUSINESS OR PERSONAL LOSS, REVENUES DECREASE, EXPENSES INCREASE, COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS AND/OR AMPLEX SERVICES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF ANY USE OF, OR ANY INABILITY TO USE, ANY AMPLEX’S SERVICES EVEN IF AMPLEX HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. AMPLEX’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY, IF ANY, TO CUSTOMER, OR ANY THIRD PARTY, FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, RELATED TO THE TOS OR AMPLEX’S SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE FROM ANY NEGLIGENCE, ANY ACT OR OMISSION BY AMPLEX OR AMPLEX’S REPRESENTATIVES, OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LAW OR EQUITY, WILL BE LIMITED TO, AND WILL NOT EXCEED, THE ACTUAL DOLLAR AMOUNT PAID BY THE CUSTOMER FOR THE SERVICES WHICH GAVE RISE TO SUCH DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTIONS DURING THE 3-MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE THE DAMAGE OR LOSS OCCURRED OR THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.
  2. Amplex Electric, Inc. (Amplex) exercises no control whatsoever over the content of information passing through our service.  Amplex  makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed of implied for the service it is providing.  Amplex also disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.  Amplex will not be responsible for damages you suffer.   This includes but is not limited to: loss of data, disclosure of data, non-deliveries, mis-deliveries, disk failures, lack of backups, failure of backups, or service interruptions caused by our negligence or your errors or omissions.
  3. Use of any information obtained via Amplex is at your own risk.   Amplex specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its services.  Transmission of any material in violation of any US or State regulation is prohibited.  This includes but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret.  You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amplex from any claims resulting from your use of the service which damages you or another party.
  4. Sharing of wireless or fiber optic accounts is considered theft of services and may result in the termination of your account without refund.
  5. Except where Amplex has expressly agreed in writing to the contrary, customers are solely and entirely responsible, and Amplex is in NO way responsible, for the management and backup of all customer data, and all updates, upgrades, and patches to any software that customers use in connection with Amplex services.
  6. Using any Amplex account or server to send duplicative, unsolicited e-mail messages (commercial or otherwise), or to collect the responses from unsolicited e-mail (for example, by maintaining a spamvertised Web site), is prohibited.  Amplex reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether duplicative or mass e-mail messages are “unsolicited.” A complaint from the recipient is presumptive evidence that the message was unsolicited. Amplex has no obligation to refer complaints to the sender or to identify complaining parties.  Conduct that directly or indirectly encourages, permits, or relies on spamming is included in this prohibition. Examples include failure to implement technical or administrative measures to prevent mass unsolicited e-mail, or providing spam “support services” such as e-mail dropboxes or sales of spamware.  Similarly, using any Amplex account or server to post advertisements or messages that violate the charter of any newsgroup or mailing list is prohibited.  Amplex reserves the right to make the determination whether a given message violates the newsgroup or mailing list charter. In most cases Amplex will defer to the judgment of the newsgroup or mailing list moderator or administrator.  Commercial messages that are appropriate under the charter of a newsgroup or mailing list, or that are expressly solicited by the recipients, are permitted.
  7. Amplex will not be liable for damages (or any other actions) due to the release of information when attempting to comply with requests that Amplex, in its sole discretion, believe to be valid at the time the disclosure is made.
  8. Amplex reserves the right to determine who our mail servers we will accept e-mail from.  Services that send unacceptable amounts of e-mail that we believe to be spam or use excessive resources on our system may be blocked without notice.
  9. Any “denial of service” attack, any attempt to breach authentication or security measures, any intentional release of a virus or worm, or any unauthorized attempt to gain access to any other account, host or network is prohibited, and will result in immediate service termination, which may be without notice.
  10. Maintaining an open mail relay invites senders of mass unsolicited commercial e-mail to exploit the server by using it for spamming. Failure or refusal to take appropriate steps to close an open mail relay on Amplex’s network is grounds for temporary suspension or permanent termination of service.
  11. NO Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE) or Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) is permitted to be delivered to any domain for which Amplex serves as a mail (MX) host.  If you violate this policy you agree to pay to Amplex Electric, Inc. the sum of $50.00 per message plus costs.
  12. Amplex is a service provider under the terms of the United States Federal Copyright Law.  Notices of copyright infringement regarding materials on our systems must be made to the statutory agent as designated with the US Copyright office.  Notification may be made to:  Amplex Electric, Inc, attn:  Mark Radabaugh, 22690 Pemberville Road  Luckey, OH 43443.  email: mark@amplex.net.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Under certain circumstances we will terminate the privileges, account(s) and/or membership of Users that are repeat infringers. A person does not have to be found guilty of copyright infringement in a court to be deemed a repeat infringer. We will review the circumstances of each situation and the decision to terminate will be at the sole discretion of our Designated Agent based on the frequency and number of complaints against that User.  Generally, we will terminate a User’s account, membership, or subscription when that User has been notified for 4complaints/violations over a period of 3 months but no more than 4 notices over a period of 12 months. Multiple notices for the same IP address within 36 hours will be considered to be a single notice. However, we reserve the right to terminate a User at any time as we deem appropriate based on the circumstances of the User’s actions.  A complaint/violation will not be assessed against the User if the User has filed a counter-notice of infringement, and there are no further legal actions from the copyright owner or owner’s agent.

How to Appeal the Removal of Material with a Counter-Notice If You Believe the Content Was Not Infringing 

If you are a User who posted material that was removed in response to a notice of infringement or your access to our website(s) or Service(s) were disabled and you believe that such material was removed or disabled actions were due to a mistake or misidentification, you may request that we restore the posting or cease blocking access to the material by sending us a written communication via postal mail, email, or facsimile to our Designated Agent for receiving notices of infringement. (See above for our Designated Agent’s contact information). This counter-notice must include substantially the following information:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the User of the Website or Service; 
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location on our Website or Service at which the materialappeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

When we receive a counter-notice that complies with these requirements, we will forward it to the person who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement.  Please note that when we forward the counter-notice, it includes your Personal Information. By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having your Personal Information revealed to third parties.

We also reserve the right, but not the obligation, to restore the material that was removed or to allow access to the material. As stated in our Service Agreements, we can at our discretion remove any material for any purpose at any time. If we receive a counter-notice from the User that posted the material subject to a claim of copyright infringement, we will take the following actions: 1) We will forward a copy of the counter-notice to the person who sent the notice of infringement and inform him/her that the removed material may be restored or we may allow access to the material in ten (10) business days.  2) If during those 10 business days, the person who sent the original notice of infringement notifies us that he/she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User from infringing activity relating to the material on our website(s) or Service(s), we will not restore or allow access to the material. 3) Otherwise, we may restore the material and allow access at our sole discretion.
