Acceptable Uses
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 IBS,
trolling (posting outrageous messages to generate numerous responses),
mailbombing (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. IBS 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 IBS'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.
If any user fails
to comply with all the above terms, and service is terminated -all monies
paid to IBS in advance will not be refundable.
It is at IBS' sole
discretion to terminate any user which it deems is not complying to
this Acceptable Uses Policy.
Reports of AUP violators
