Acceptable
Use and Conditions
As an Internet/Web Hosting Provider,
CCI must lay down some simple "ground rules" of service. In order for us to host your site or to continue to host your site, the following activities are forbidden:
- Spamming -- Unsolicited, commercial
mass e-mailing (known as "spamming") is a strongly disfavored
practice among Internet users and service providers. It is
particularly harmful not only because of its negative impact on
consumer attitudes toward us, but also because it can overload our
equipment and disrupt service to our customers.
- Copyright Violation -- Violation of
copyrights held by individuals and corporations or other entities
can result in civil and criminal liability for the infringe, and
can involve the ISP in litigation and possible loss of reputation.
- Distribution and/or Transmission of
Obscene or Indecent Speech or Materials -- Violation of
indecency and obscenity laws can result in criminal penalties.
- Distribution and/or Transmission of
Illegal Software, Information, or Files -- Sites that exist
to transport, offer, or distribute illegal software or information
("warez" sites) are not allowed.
- Defamation -- Defamatory speech
distributed over the Internet can result in civil liability for
the defamer and litigation against the ISP whose facilities were
used to distribute the defamatory material.
- Illegal/Unauthorized Access to Other
Computers or Networks -- The illegal or unauthorized accessing
(often known as "hacking") of computers or networks carries
potential civil and criminal penalties under both federal laws and
the laws of most states.
- Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms,
Trojan Horses and Other Destructive Activities -- Distribution
of Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other destructive
activities, such as hacking, can result in serious civil and or
criminal liability under federal and state law.
- Export Control Violations -- The law
limits the ability of persons to export encryption software, over
the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.
- Other Activities, whether lawful or unlawful,
that we determine to be harmful to our customers, operations or
reputation, including any activities that restrict or inhibit any
other user from using and enjoying the service or the Internet.
- We cannot guarantee that your files will always be
100% secure: If there is a server failure, there is a possibility that
data may be lost. This is an unlikely occurrence, but please always keep
backups of your uploaded files.
Any of these violations will result in your web site being removed and your account being cancelled with NO Refunds of any kind.
We hope this Policy Statement
is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users,
including us and our customers, as responsible members of the
Internet.
Complaints about violators of
our policies should be referred to abuse@cybertec.net.
Each complaint will be
investigated.
