Terms and Conditions
In addition to our Terms and Conditions, our AUP is put in place to ensure continued reliability of service for our Customers.
The Internet is a powerful information and entertainment tool, we would expect our customers to use the Internet with respect, courtesy, and responsibility, giving due regard to the rights of other Internet users.
Our acceptable use policy is actively and strictly enforced. Offending content or users are removed from our network, usually as soon as they are discovered, although we will always inform you when and why any action has been taken.
Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable use, however the following are unacceptable uses.
Illegality
In any form, including but not limited to the unauthorised distribution or copying of copyrighted software or other data, harassment, fraud, trafficking in obscene material.
Undesirable Content
Certain types of content are not allowed on our network. We do not host adult content of any description. Content relating to Hacking, Cracking, Warez and IRC is not allowed. Software downloads may only be hosted if you are the writer and copyright owner of the software, all other software including freeware, shareware and trial software is forbidden.
File Storage
The use of the system for the purpose of storing files that are not used for the purpose of a web site or domain are not permitted.
The hosting of Audio and Video related content of all nature are forbidden unless permission is sought first from Support.
Bulk Email
We prefer you not to use our servers for sending bulk emails. There are dedicated services that have a much higher rating in the world of email, that will be accepted through more firewalls and more spam filters. Ours is just for regular email. If you send bulk email, it will be limited to a few per hour and so could take a very long time to go. The use of scripts and external bulk sending though our servers is forbidden.
Misuse Of Resources
Including but not limited to employing applications which consume excessive CPU time, memory or storage space. Chat/IRC, web proxy and mailing list scripts are not allowed on our network under any circumstances. Streaming media can be a drain on web server resources and as such is not allowed. CGI based message forums which use flat file databases are often found to use excessive system resources, to avoid disappointment please use an ASP message forum. The use of web cam applications which maintain a constant FTP connection uploading an image at regular intervals is forbidden.
If you are unsure about content you intend to place on our network, please check with us before you do. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes acceptable use.
