Terms of Service

This User Services Agreement ("Agreement") is an agreement between the customer ("User") and Lime Daley, an internet service provider located at 44 Church Street, Hillsboro, NH ("Lime Daley"). "Services" refers to email and any other services provided to User by Lime Daley. This document may be updated and/or modified at any time.

Service Uptime Guarantee (applies only to Users with a Service Level Agreement)

Lime Daley provides an uptime availability target of 99.99% for Services each calendar month. If Lime Daley fails to meet the availability target for a particular month, User may request a credit for 3% of its monthly recurring charge for each hour of service outage in excess of the availability target. By definition, a server is experiencing an outage if no traffic is exchanged on the line, or if traffic is so slow as to be interpreted as an outage by a reasonable person. Outage hours are rounded to the nearest hour and based on the time a vendor Trouble Ticket is created, indicated by the time stamp on the Trouble Ticket.

Lime Daley's target response time for initializing service restoration following notification of a Services outage is 4 hours. If Lime Daley is unable to meet this target response time, User may request a credit for 10% of the monthly recurring charge. In no case shall the sum of target response time credits and uptime availability target credits during a calendar month exceed the total of the monthly recurring charge.

Spam Filtering

User understands that Lime Daley implements various spam filters, which bounce, delete, and delay e-mail that appears to be spam. User agrees to indemnify and hold not responsible Lime Daley from any claims resulting from action or inaction by the spam filters, including, but not limited to loss of data resulting from delays and non-delivery of information.

Notifications

Lime Daley communicates primarily via email. User agrees that sending a message to its contact email address is the agreed upon means of providing notification. All Services come with at least one email account. It is required that User routinely check this email account. User's contact email account is used to communicate vital information about services, billing, service outages, and enhancements or changes to the existing services. This information is time-sensitive in nature. It is required that User read any email sent to its contact email account to avoid any potential interruptions in your service.

Moderations Of Use

Bandwidth: Lime Daley has provided in the billing terms per-user bandwidth quotas. The rates are based on the assumption that the traffic will be averaged through the month. If User utilizes any of the Services in a manner which consumes excessive bandwidth or affects Lime Daley's core equipment, overall network performance, or other users' services, Lime Daley may require that User cease or alter these activities. Alternatively, User may renegotiate a rate that includes the peak bandwidth usages.

Password Policy

User agrees to protect its account by guarding its passwords carefully. User is responsible for all use of User accounts and for the confidentiality of any password selected by User. Lime Daley will suspend or modify User's accounts as soon as practicable after notification from User that a password has been lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. User must notify Lime Daley immediately if User believes any of its accounts may be compromised.

User Content

Lime Daley considers email transmitted to be the private correspondence of the sender. Lime Daley will not monitor, sell, rent, lease, edit, or disclose the contents of a User's private communications, except that Lime Daley and its third party service providers may do so: (a) as required by law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) as necessary to enforce this Agreement; (d) to respond to claims that such contents violate the rights of third parties; or (e) to protect the rights or property of Lime Daley, its third party service providers, or others.

User is to be solely responsible for the contents of User's private and public communications, whether uploaded, posted, emailed, or otherwise transmitted through the Services.

User is not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems or networks connected to the Services. Lime Daley may ban User from future use of the Services if User does not comply with Lime Daley's standards of conduct, even if User attempts to use the Services through another User or under a different name.

Privacy Policy

Termination

How do I make a Lime Daley if I don't have fresh limes?

 

Here is the recipe for a Lime Daley if you don't have fresh limes:

  • ice to taste
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 drops Boyajian lime oil
  • 1 twelve-ounce bottle Blenheim "Old #3" (red cap) ginger ale

Put ice in a tall glass. Add lime juice and lime oil. Slowly pour in Blenheim. Stir well.

 

Lime Daley's Recommendations

In the course of doing business with various vendors, we have come across those that we recommend to others whenever we get the chance.  (We also have vendors that we'd specifically not recommend, but that's for another day.)

  • Teraswitch is our upstream provider, and also a reliable hosting provider in the Pittsburgh area. Let them know you heard about them from Lime Daley.
  • My DNS provider is excellent, but unfortunately, due to a recent change in their terms of service, I am not allowed to tell you who that is - seems like a really bizarre marketing decision, but they forced me to agree to those terms if I wanted to continue using their service.  If you are technical enough, you can look up our name servers and find out who they are.  Hopefully, their marketing department is just out of touch and their technical services won't be affected by these new changes.

Why Lime Daley?

Answer 1: The Drink and Inspiration

Here is the recipe for a Lime Daley:

  • ice to taste
  • 1 lime, cut in half or quarters
  • 1 twelve-ounce bottle Blenheim "Old #3" (red cap) ginger ale

Put ice in a tall glass. Squeeze lime over ice and drop in the rinds. Slowly pour in Blenheim. Stir well. Be prepared for the strongest kick a non-alcoholic drink can have.

How do I make a Lime Daley if I don't have fresh limes?

We based this drink on a Lime Rickey, a favorite with Star Island visitors.

Heather's Dad thought it appropriate to name our modified recipe Lime Daley. Heather fixed Jon a Lime Daley while he was researching domain names and wracking his brain for a good company name.

Answer 2: Superior Service and Support

At Lime Daley, we believe that God has given us our gifts and talents and we hope that you will see a reflection of Him in our work. What this means for you is that you will receive honest, dependable answers and incredible service.

Our beliefs also extend to the load on our servers, where we don't oversell bandwidth or disk space, because we expect our customers to use the space they buy. We sell what we have, and don't sell what we don't have. The most common initial response from our customers when first signing up is, "Wow. Your server is so much faster than my old host." That is closely followed by: "I can't believe you respond to my questions so quickly!"

You won't get fast pre-sales responses and then slow responses once you have signed the check -- most queries are answered within thirty minutes, and never more than 12 hours and you can always call or have someone paged to get the work done more quickly.

We believe that our hosting is the best that is available. Thank you for considering us, we look forward to serving you for years to come.

Answer 3: The People

Jon

The founder of the company, Jon Daley, is an electrical and computer engineer who received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1999 and 2001, respectively.  He worked for the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at CMU, leading the circuit design and software development for a couple years before moving to DynaVox Technologies, where he wore many hats:


  • Circuit design
  • Manufacturing support
  • Product quality analysis, developing software tests and monitoring the contract manufacturer in order to provide timely and accurate reports to management
  • Embedded software for Windows CE 3, 4, and 5
  • High level application and web development software design and implementation for increased efficiency in various departments throughout the company.

Throughout all of this work experience, Jon "moonlighted," designing circuits and software for other companies in the areas of manufacturing, test, and also brain imaging. Web hosting provided the opportunity to "jump ship" (or at least slowly slide off the edge of the ship holding on with one hand to the stay) and start Lime Daley, increasing hours fairly linearly from 2004 through 2008, when he started working exclusively for Lime Daley.  He hasn't looked back since.


Heather

His wife, Heather Daley, received her bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from CMU in 2001. She contemplated working at a couple different engineering firms before deciding to work at home, raising their children and helping Jon run Lime Daley.



Piexx's logo

Lime Daley also regularly collaborates with Piexx, Inc.. The connection with Piexx goes back to Jon's high school days of sniffing solder paste and soldering thousands of through-hole components.  That experience led him to decide that electrical engineering was a good way to work; as a matter of fact, Jon was thrilled to find out that people would pay him to do the sorts of things he would do anyway, though he doesn't sniff as much flux these days.
