Transmissions sent to or from EziHosting are routinely monitored
for quality control and systems administration.
Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to us or receive from our online products or services. These activities
are conducted at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission,
we make our best effort (well exceeding world benchmarks) to ensure
its security.

We
ask that children under the age of 16 have a parent or guardian
verify their hosting application with EziHosting. Whilst EziHosting
will make every reasonable effort to ensure that children's privacy
and other rights are not compromised, it is ultimately the responsibility
of parents to monitor their children's Internet usage.
Children
should always ask a parent before sending any transmission over
the Internet.
