this is 100% true, i have lost count of how many of my client complain or do something and i mention our TOS and get back " oh i never read them" and yest when they sign up they have to tick a box saying they have read and accepted them.
ands yes most hosts will not allow you to use their services just for backups, we are one that classes this as abuse, but what we have is a separate server that is set up just to handle backups, so if clients want a backup service then they can on this server..
if clients do use a lot of resorces we would rather move the client to another server than kick the client off our servers
