Acceptable Uses and 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
autoresponders 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
