All services provided by Online Media Group are subject to the following terms and conditions:

Acceptance

Customer Technical Support vs. Consulting
Technical support is considered any questions, guidance, or advice necessary with regard to the server's operating environment. It includes troubleshooting and repairing problems with the server. Third-party software support, programming advice, and coding assistance are considered part of our Consulting Services and would thus be charged out at Online Media Group's normal hourly rate.

In the event such an action results in a temporary disruption in service, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Online Media Group.
