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 Data Synthesis, 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. Data Synthesis 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 Data Synthesis
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 Data Synthesis . 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.
