Customers are prohibited
from transmitting on or through any of ABI Hosting's services, any material that is, in ABI
Hosting's sole discretion, unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, or encourages conduct

local, state, national or international law. ABI Hosting's services may only be used for lawful
purposes. Questions concerning ABI Hosting's acceptable use policies may be directed to support@abihosting.com
ABI Hosting's Acceptable Use Policy has been formulated with the following goals in mind: Ensure
security, reliability and privacy of ABI Hosting systems and network, and the networks and systems
of others. Avoid situations that may cause ABI Hosting to incur civil liability. Maintain the image
and reputation of ABI Hosting as a responsible organization. Preserve the value of Internet
resources as a conduit for free expression. Encourage the responsible use of net resources,
discouraging practices which degrade the usability of network resources and thus the value of
Internet services. Preserve the privacy and security of individual users. The Acceptable Use Policy
below defines the actions which ABI Hosting considers to be abusive, and thus, strictly prohibited.
The examples named in this list are non-exclusive, and are provided solely for guidance to ABI
Hosting customers. If you are unsure whether any contemplated use or action is permitted, please
send mail to support@abihosting.com and we will assist you. Please note
that the actions listed below are also not permitted from other Internet Service Providers on
behalf of, or to advertise, any service hosted by ABI Hosting, or connected via the ABI Hosting
network. Furthermore, such services may not be advertised via deceptive marketing policies, as
defined by the Federal Trade Commission Deception Policy Statement.
ABI Hosting's services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or
storage of any information, data or material in violation of United States or state regulation or
law, or by the common law, is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected
by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other statute. ABI Hosting reserves the right to
remove such illegal material from its servers. The customer is responsible for keeping his billing
data with ABI Hosting up-to-date and accurate. Furnishing false data on any contract or
application, including fraudulent use of credit card numbers, is grounds for immediate termination,
and may subject the offender to civil or criminal liability. The resale of ABI Hosting's products
and services is not permitted, unless specifically permitted and documented in a written
agreement.
Network Security Customers may not use ABI Hosting's network as to attempt to circumvent
user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited
to, accessing data not intended for the Customer, logging into a server or account the Customer is
not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security of other networks in
search of weakness, or violation of any other organization's security policy. Customers may not
attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not
limited to, flooding. mailbombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or
network. ABI Hosting will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network
security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the
investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate systems or network security may
incur criminal or civil liability.
ABI Hosting does not permit Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) that is in any way associated with
ABI Hosting, its clients, or any of its client's associates. Customers are prohibited from using
UCE as a means of advertising data or services hosted on ABI Hosting's network, or using the
network to distribute such materials. Infringments of this policy can result in any one or all of
the following: A warning from ABI Hosting, via E-mail or phone. Removal of DNS for the advertised /
originating site. Temporary shutdown of the server or a block on outgoing mail. Permanent
disconnection of service. A charge of ten cents per message. Infringements of this policy include,
but are not limited to: Sending mail to users who have not specifically requested to recieve such
mail, including opt-out mailing lists. Sending, being involved in sending, or employing a third
party to send mail which advertises or mentions a site hosted at ABI Hosting to users that have not
specifically requested this mail. Forging of message headers to mask the originator of the message.
You will be held responsible for the actions of your clients in this matter, so it would be best
for you to implement a similar or stricter policy. Please review the information at http://spam.abuse.net for more information on what
constitutes UCE, or 'Spam.' Harassment, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages,
is prohibited. These rules apply to other types of Internet-based message distribution.
ABI Hosting is not liable for the content of any communications or posting, other than those made
by representatives of ABI Hosting, whether or not the communication originated from ABI Hosting's
network. Postings to public forums must comply with the written charters or FAQs for those
newsgroups. Advertisements should only be posted in those newsgroups whose charters/FAQs explicitly
permit them (see SPAM / Email Abuse). The poster is responsible for determining the etiquette of a
given forum, prior to posting. Customers are prohibited from posting the same or similar message to
large numbers of newsgroups or otherwise flooding users with unwanted information. Customers may
not forward or otherwise propagate chain letters, whether or not the recipient wishes to receive
such mailings. Customers are prohibited from forging header information. This includes attempting
to circumvent the approval process for posting to a moderated newsgroup. Customers may not attempt
to impersonate others in a public forum. |
