2. Unsolicited Commerce Email & Material - SPAM
Spam is not allowed under this AUP. Sending spam could result in termination and/or suspension of your services. An electronic message is "spam" IF: (1) the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients; AND (2) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; AND (3) the transmission and reception of the message appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender. The following examples are to be used as a guide for what can be determined as spam: unsolicited or unauthorized advertising and promotional materials such as "junk mail," "instant messaging," "chain letters," or "pyramid schemes." Please note that we reserve the right to determine what constitutes as spam.5. Violation of Rights Other Than Copyright
Violating the intellectual property rights of others is not permitted by this AUP. These rights include, but are not limited to, copyright, trademark, trade secret and patent rights. Our services may not be used to violate the rights of others, which may include acts that defame, harass, abuse or threaten others. You are responsible for ensuring that your end users abide by this AUP.6. Child Pornography, Child Erotica and Beastiality
Use of the Services to disseminate or display images classified under U.S. law as child pornography, child erotica and/or bestiality is strictly prohibited. We shall immediately terminate the accounts of any customers and/or End Users who are using the Services in this manner, and report them as required by law, without prior notice.

Any violation of the terms set in this AUP may result in suspension and/or termination of your account without prior notice. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a violation of this AUP.
Our shared hosting services are restricted to the direct serving of web content over the HTTP protocol. You agree to only use our services for that purpose. Misuses of this include, but not limited to, distributed/grid computing, data warehousing/backup storage, and bandwidth sinks. At our own discretion, we shall determine what qualifies as a misuse of our shared hosting services. If you want to use a new application on our shared services but are unsure if it would fit into a valid use for it, please contact us through our Support department to verify the application for you.
Our shared hosting services are not to be used for email marketing. Mailing lists are not allowed on our shared hosting services. Emails are restricted to 150 emails per hour per domain for this reason. If you require email marketing for your domain, it is recommended to point your email elsewhere while leaving the domain here.
Any domain or account that uses an unacceptably high level of server resources, which include - but are not limited to - CPU usage, memory usage, and network resources, must reduce the overall usage to an acceptable level. Our Resource Abuse Policy sets the standards for acceptable resource usage. We shall provide the final standing on what is considered high usage versus acceptable usage.
Shared hosting accounts may not be used or transferred by anyone other than the owner of the account. You may not sell, lease, or assign any part of the connection to any party other than those named on your account. Allowing FTP access for End Users is not a violation of this AUP.
Shared hosting accounts may not be used for distributing software applications or multimedia.
Shared hosting accounts may not be used to distribute and/or store an unusual amount of multimedia files. A multimedia file is defined as any graphic, audio, or video file. An unusual amount refers to any site with disk space usage storing multimedia files that exceed 70% of the total site usage, either in terms of total size or number of files on the account.
Chat rooms are strictly prohibited on our shared hosting accounts. Proxy servers/scripts, torrent trackers or clients may not be run, and we will not register or install any third-party software on our shared hosting servers.
