    Looks skimpy - include stuff about cancellation, modifications to the tos, cpu usage (shared users can't use 100% cpu, all the time can they?) DMCA stuff, and more to start with.

    Go through *your* providers TOS and make sure your users are limited in the same way - include the same stuff, in other words. If your provider doesn't allow IRC, neither do you.

    Best bet if you can afford it: gather all the stuff up that you can and bring it to a good contract lawyer

    Ok dave... hows my add-ons look... and should I add more or change something?

    Server usage limitations
    You are not allowed to use more then 1.00 of the CPU. If your account causes then CPU to go higher then that you will be E-mailed to use less, and if you are still using that much in 3 days your account will be suspended. We will get into your files and lessen it our self's. You are also not allowed to run your Shared or Reseller account as an IRC server.
    Cancellation
    If you cancel at anytime we will not refund money. Unless you paid a few months/years in advance.
    Terms of Service Modification
    If there is ever a Modification to our Terms of Services we will send an E-mail to the cPanels contact E-mail. If you do not agree to the new Terms of Services you will need to contact TOS@NuclearCompany.com. When you E-mail them they will try to fix the problem, and if the problem is not fixed we will try to help you find another host.

    Get a lawyer, that TOS would be 100% useless in a court.

    It has horrible spelling & grammar, many of the terms are open ended and don't make sense. For example "1.00 of the CPU". Whats that mean? 1.00%? 1.00 Load (according to which tool?)

    You also used terms like "a little" and "a few". These are very vague. To you, a few months in advance might mean 24 months. To your customer it might mean 3 months.

    You also said "we would get in your files....". Bad idea, messing with the customer's files. If theres a problem, suspend the account and let them fix it.

    Your "copyright" section says that you will check the user's site for copyrighted materials. That means its YOUR fault and you are liable if there is copyrighted material on the server and you don't catch it. Do you want to make yourself liable for your customers copyright infringement?

    I would also change the phrase "Hating on any government". Too much slang. And you need to define exactly what "child porn" is and what "illegal" is. Does illegal mean where the customer is? Where you are? In the United States? In Sealand? In every place in the world?

    Also you haven't covered spamming, which isn't allowed by ServerMatrix.
