By establishing a hosting account, Webtong.com (the "Host") and the the Client agree to the terms and conditions stated here.

Host will provide the Client with services for hosting of a site on the World Wide Web portion of the Internet (the "client website") under the Hosting Plan, as specified on the website www.webtong.com and selected by the Client. Except as expressly provided otherwise, Client agrees that Host is responsible only for providing the hosting services listed under the Hosting Plan and Host is not responsible for providing any services or performing any tasks not specifically set forth in the Hosting Plan.

The content of the client website (the "Client Content") is the responsibility of the Client. All services provided by the Host may be used for lawful purposes only.

Also prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to Webtong.com servers or any other server on the internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

Examples of unacceptable content or links:
