Disclaimers Legal

Florida webmasters and FECN reserves all rights as to levels of service, Prices, Availability of services, or approval or denial of services for anyone for any reason we deem prudent and necessary, and certainly for those not adhering to the above AUP policies.

We maintain a BEST EFFORTS POLICY to ensure your site is up to date with current technology, and that our servers where your site is hosted are not unduly taxed so that your site runs at full speed as intended. Even so, things happen which is WHY we stress the importance of keeping a late date BACKUP of your sites files, SQL databases, and other such information to safeguard yourself against potential loss of such.

Neither John E Hogan, Debra J Hogan, Employees, or associates with and for Affordnet Services, FECN News will be held liable for loss of data, server downtimes or unavailability, or other consequential damages which may occur as a result of outages, System crashes, Hackers, just plain BAD security policies on YOUR part, or other issues beyond the normal scope and control of a Best Efforts Policy.

Our servers ARE co Located in a class 5 data center with high speed access, UPS systems for power outages, and Backup generators for longer term power outages. When the power is OUT here in Florida due to hurricanes/etc, your site WILL still be up and online. You may not be able to get ON IT of course if your power is out, but short of a serious national disaster, it will be online.

If you need some great localized business exposures or Classifieds for business or personal type ads, select the appropriate site below and just sign up as a member to get er done!
