3. Zero Tolerance Spam Policy

You must not use our services to send spam or unsolicited bulk messages. We do not allow our network or services to support unsolicited bulk email or unsolicited commercial email.

This restriction also covers anyone who sends, assists with, or commissions the sending of unsolicited commercial email. We treat safe lists, purchased mailing lists, and the sale of mailing lists as spam.

We may terminate the account of any user who sends spam, with or without notice. We also prohibit websites promoted through spam, known as spamvertising.

This policy applies to spam sent through fax, telephone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, and Usenet or newsgroups. We may immediately suspend or terminate any user account that causes our IP address space to be blacklisted.

4. Defamation and Objectionable Content

We value freedom of expression and encourage users to communicate respectfully.

As a web hosting provider, we do not publish users’ content ourselves. We also may not be able to investigate every defamation claim or decide whether particular content should be censored.

For this reason, we generally require a court order from a court with appropriate jurisdiction before addressing defamation claims. However, we reserve the right to disable or remove content when we believe it may harm others or the Company, at our discretion.

5. Enforcement

Resellers

If a reseller’s user violates this policy, we will suspend the affected account and notify the reseller. The reseller can then address the violation with the user. Repeated violations by a user may lead to the immediate suspension or termination of the reseller’s account.

6. Direct Customers

We may terminate a customer’s services, with or without notice, if the customer violates this policy. Where applicable, we will report violations to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

We reserve the right to decide whether to enforce this policy in each case, at our discretion.
