Acceptable
Use Policy
The Internet is intended for use by mature adults
(and by minors when supervised by mature adults). Our
customers are expected to use the Internet with respect,
courtesy, and responsibility, giving due regard to the
rights of other Internet users. The customer is expected
to have a basic knowledge of how the Internet functions,
the types of use which are generally acceptable, and
the types of use which are to be avoided. Common sense
is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable
use. The following are unacceptable uses:
Illegality in any form, including but not
limited to activities such as unauthorized distribution
or copying of copyrighted software, violation of U.S.
export restrictions, harassment, fraud, trafficking
in obscene material, drug dealing, and other illegal
activities.
Net abuse, including but not limited to activities
such as using a non-existent email return address on
a commercial solicitation, spamming (sending unsolicited
advertising to numerous email addresses or newsgroups
and/or generating a significantly higher volume of outgoing
email than a normal user), allowing spamming by third
parties to promote a web site hosted by us, trolling
(posting outrageous messages to generate numerous responses),
mail bombing (sending multiple messages without significant
new content to the same user), subscribing someone else
to a mailing list without that person's permission,
cross-posting articles to an excessive number of newsgroups,
or attempting without authorization to enter into a
secured computer system. We reserves the right to determine
what constitutes net abuse.
Tortuous conduct, including but not limited
to posting of defamatory, scandalous, or private information
about a person without their consent, intentionally
inflicting emotional distress, or violating trademarks,
copyrights, or other intellectual property rights.
Misuse of system resources, including but
not limited to employing posts or programs which consume
excessive CPU time or storage space; permitting use
of mail services, mail forwarding capabilities, POP
accounts, or auto responders other than for the customer's
own account; resale of access to CGI scripts installed
on our servers; or attempting to use a single customer
account for third party web sites by allowing more than
one domain pointer to be used to reference pages within
the customer's site.
