Fantastic websites! Hometown advertising!
Please read this "Acceptable Use Policy" before clicking the link below.
If at anytime I determine that you are deliberately violating my AUP
I will have to terminate your account.
 
Spamming Policy
I have a Zero Tolerance for spam originating from my customers
or for any spam advertising of the web sites of my customers. I strongly believe
that the usability of the Internet is dependent on the suppression and
elimination of UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail) from the newsgroups
and E-mail of both casual and heavy Internet users.
 
I will forward the first complaint to you. If I don't receive a response indicating the complete
resolution of the complaint within 24 hours I will suspend your account on the server.

On the second complaint I will suspend your account and send you notice.

On the third complaint I will suspend your account indefinately.

All abuse notices about spam complaints will be sent to the email address that you signed up with
or the one that I have on file. You must keep current the contact information we have on file for you.

E-mail, fax, and telephone contacts are used, in that order of preference.

You must promptly investigate and deal with any spam or other abuse complaints forwarded to you.

 
Network Security:

Customers must not use the network as to attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host,
network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the Customer,
logging into a server or account the Customer is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking,
probing the security of other networks in search of weakness, or violation of any other organization's
security policy.

IRC or IRC programs that are considered dangerous to this network will be prohibited.

DOS (denial of services): Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or
network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding, mail bombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or network. If your account or server is the initiator of a denial of service attack that adversely affects our/somebody else's network, we will terminate your account without warning and you will be held responsible for any charges that may result from this action.

We will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. I reserve the right to charge up to $500 per complaint to investigate.

High-risk services: High-risk services, which are services that tend to attract denial of service attacks, are strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, IRC related services and selling of shell accounts.

 
General Conduct: Customers are prohibited from transmitting on or through any of my services, any material that is, in my sole discretion, unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law.

This service may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or storage of any information,
data or material in violation of United States or state regulation or law, or by the common law, is prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other statute. I reserve the right to remove any such illegal material from our servers.

The customer is responsible for keeping his billing data up-to-date and accurate. Furnishing false data
on any contract or application, including fraudulent use of credit card numbers, is grounds for immediate
termination, and may subject the offender to civil or criminal liability.

  • Customers agree to supply appropriate payment for the services in advance of the time period during
    which such services are provided.
  • Customers agree that all setup fees are non-refundable once setup is completed.

Due to protection concerns, all account cancellations must be done in writing via US mail or fax. Notifications
of cancellation must include the company letterhead, account name, principal contact name with valid signature, last four digits of credit card number on file and reason for cancellation. Third party cancellations are not accepted.

Upon termination, either by I or Customer, for any reason, Customer is responsible for deleting his/her host
registrations from domain registrar(s) within 10 business days. Customer further agrees to pay all reasonable
administrative costs if I must intervene in reregistering the hosts.
