ROBOHOSTING ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY (AUP)
Our Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is provided to give
our customers and users a clear understanding of what we expect
of them while using the service. All users of our services: those
who access some of our Services but do not have accounts, as well
as those who pay a service fee to subscribe to the Services, must
comply with this AUP and our TOS (Terms of Service).
Use of our Service constitutes acceptance and agreement to The
AUP as well as The TOS (Terms of Service)
We support the uncensored flow of information and ideas over the
Internet and do not actively monitor subscriber activity under
normal circumstances. Similarly, we do not exercise editorial
control over the content of any web site, e-mail transmission,
newsgroups, or other material created or accessible over or through
the services, except for certain proprietary Web sites. However,
in accordance with our TOS (Terms of Service), we may remove any
materials that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject
us to liability, or which may violate this AUP. We may cooperate
with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation
of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrongdoing. Your violation
of this AUP may result in the suspension or immediate termination
of either your account or other actions as detailed in Section
3 WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
This document is intended to provide a basic understand of our
Acceptable Use Policy. The following are guidelines for the establishment
and enforcement of the AUP:
Ensure reliable service to our customers
Ensure security and privacy of our systems and network, as well
as the networks and systems of others
Comply with existing laws
Maintain our reputation as a responsible service provider
Encourage responsible use of the Internet and discourage activities
which reduce the usability and value of Internet services
Preserve the value of Internet resources as a conduit for free
expression and exchange of information
Preserve the privacy and security of individual users
We intend to provide our customers access to everything the Internet
has to offer. While we are firmly committed to the principles
of free speech, certain activities that may be damaging to the
resources of both us and the Internet and cannot be permitted
under the guise of free speech. The resources of us and the Internet
are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user has a negative
impact on the entire community.
We do not routinely monitor the activity of accounts except for
measurements of system utilization and the preparation of billing
records. However, in our efforts to promote good citizenship within
the Internet community, we will respond appropriately if we become
aware of inappropriate use of our service.
You may not use your dedicated rack or virtual site to publish
material, which we determine, at our sole discretion, to be unlawful,
indecent or objectionable. For purposes of this policy, "material"
refers to all forms of communications including narrative descriptions,
graphics (including photographs, illustrations, images, drawings,
logos), executable programs, video recordings, and audio recordings.
If an account is used to violate the Acceptable Use Policy or
our TOS, we reserve the right to terminate your service without
notice. We prefer to advise customers of inappropriate behavior
and any necessary corrective action, however, flagrant violations
of the Acceptable Use Policy will result in immediate termination
of service. Our failure to enforce this policy, for whatever reason,
shall not be construed as a waiver of our right to do so at any
time.
As a member of our network community, you must use your Internet
access responsibly. If you have any questions regarding this policy,
please contact us.
