In addition, please observe the following policies:

IP Usage. Due to ARIN restrictions, justification regarding the efficient use of IP addresses may be required. Manipulation of the IP addresses installed on any dedicated server offered as part of hybrid hosting packages by any party other than an authorized Server Arts representative is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate cancellation of services.
Security Providers, such as any Server Arts customers wishing to use Server Arts’ services in order to perform security-related business tasks that may constitute unacceptable use according to this (AUP) must obtain prior and explicit permission by Server Arts to do so, otherwise they will be subject to the consequences of violating this (AUP).
Service Providers (xSPs), such as subscribers who offer Internet services are not excluded by any clauses in this (AUP)  and must fully cooperate with Server Arts in any corrective or preventive action that Server Arts deems necessary to rectify a violation of this (AUP). Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Server Arts (AUP)  and may result into cancellation of services without prior notice. 
Bandwidth Utilization. Each hybrid hosting plan allows for a specific amount of monthly transfer. For bandwidth utilization purposes calendar months are used to calculate transfer. Bandwidth utilization is dynamically and continuously measured and allowed transfer rate may be adjusted on a per server basis, based on daily utilization values and total monthly allotment. Servers exceeding their allotted rate may be subjected to bandwidth metering unless a higher transfer rate is purchased. It's the customer's responsibility to choose the level of transfer rate desirable.
