The severity of the violation, as well as the account holder's cooperation and ability to prevent future violations, will be considered when determining whether or not the account will be reactivated.

Free Web Hosting Accounts
Lorenz Technologies has the right to refuse free web space at their own discretion. Even though it is free you must put on the application why you are requesting this web space because Lorenz Technologies has a rigorous approval process each account goes through before it is allowed on the server. If the application is approved you will get an email with your account details within 48 hours. We try to contact everyone who has been denied for an account with a specific reason for denial, however If you do not receive an email or a denial letter you have not been approved. The decision of Lorenz Technologies is final and can not be negotiated.

While we will attempt to accommodate and provide you web hosting for an unlimited period time, our paying customers come 1st. If there is a time which space is required for a paying customer, Lorenz Technologies, at its own discretion, has the right to delete your account. This will be done on a case by case basis and seniority and/or account usage will be taken into consideration before deletion occurs. Lorenz Technologies will try to contact you 48 hours before your account is terminated, however we reserve the right to delete without contacting you if the need arises.

While we DO allow hotlinking of graphics, we require that a functional website is established for every account within 24 hours of being accepted which must remain intact for the entire time you have an account with Lorenz Technologies.

If files are not uploaded within 3 days of being approved you agree that we have the right to terminate your account for non-activity.
