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 Worldwide
Internet, 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. Worldwide Internet 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 Worldwide Internet's 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.
Complaints
about violators of our policies should be referred to
Abuse Offices
. Each complaint will be investigated and may result to
immediate cancellation of services without prior notice.
Bandwidth
Utilization
Each web hosting plan allows for a specific
amount of monthly transfer. For bandwidth utilization
purposes, a month is defined as a 30-day period.
Bandwidth utilization is dynamically and continuously
measured and allowed transfer rate is adjusted on a per
site basis based on weekly utilization values. Sites
exceeding their allotted rate may be subjected to
bandwidth metering. It's the customer's responsibility
to choose the level of transfer rate their site needs.
