Acceptable Use Policy
INTRODUCTION
During the term of its agreement with UnlimitedWebHostingService,
the customer must ensure that the use of any resource offered to
the customer or owned or controlled by UnlimitedWebHostingService
("Service") conforms with UnlimitedWebHostingService's
then current Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). UnlimitedWebHostingService
may modify, without prior notice, the AUP as UnlimitedWebHostingService
deems appropriate; such modified AUP is effective upon posting on
UnlimitedWebHostingService's website.
RESPONSIBILITY
You are responsible for your sites and all sites that you host to be in accordance with all rules on this page. Misuse by you may result in actions on your account, including removal from the host without a refund.
Inappropriate Use
The Service must not be used to publish, post, distribute or otherwise disseminate unlawful material or information including, but not limited to: threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or fraudulent information and materials, or proprietary, copyrighted, or otherwise intellectually protected information and materials for which Customer does not have authorization or authority to possess or distribute. The Service must not be used to request unlawful services or materials. The Service must not be used for activities UnlimitedWebHostingService deems to impact its customers or its ability to deliver services to its customers. Such activities may include, but are not limited to:
Obscene Speech or Materials
The distribution of child pornography or any obscene, abusive, defamatory or threatening speech or material. You may not host any site containing adult oriented content, including nudity of any kind. Portal sites linking directly to adult oriented content are also not acceptable.
Intellectual Property Infringement
Any activity infringing on the intellectual property rights of others,
including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets,
and patents.
SPAMMING
Sending unsolicited commercial bulk email ("UCE"), news
postings or chain letters; advertising transmitting, or otherwise
making available any software, program, product, or service that
is designed to facilitate sending UCE; use of web pages that allow
"spam"ing (known as "ghost sites") that directly
or indirectly refers to domains or IP addresses hosted by UnlimitedWebHostingService.
UnlimitedWebHostingService reserves the right to determine in its
sole discretion what constitutes UCE based on the information available.
Sending any email to purchased lists or lists obtained by any other
method (such as harvesting) is not acceptable. Customers may only
send email to recipients who have joined mailing lists directly
from their site.
Maintaining an Open Email Relay
Allowing email to be sent through Customer's system by a third party (i.e. neither to nor from Customer or Customer's accounts).
Fraud
Using a false identity; using pyramid/ponzi scheme; storage or transmission of any intentionally incorrect data or packet.
Virus, Worm, or Trojan horse program distribution
The deliberate transmission of computer viruses, worms or trojan software.
Denial of Service
Using any technique to intentionally degrade or disable the delivery of any legitimate data.
Glutting of servers
Oversized storage of any files that would be unreasonably large (ie. making a zip file filled with text files just to pad the size). Again, your webspace is not for data back up. It is only for hosting real sites.
Unauthorized Access
Attempting to gain unauthorized entry to any site or network, or any network or host scanning, probing, monitoring or other information gathering associated with such activity; using the Service to guess passwords.
Applications
Customer may not run any program or script on the server that runs constantly or 'listens' on ports unless provided in the control panel. This includes applications associated with chat services.

Inappropriate postings to newsgroups, chat rooms, electronic bulletin boards and any other public forum on, or using, the Service.
Customer Responsibilities
Bulk Email
Customers sending bulk email must provide recipients with an easy
and effective mechanism for removal from bulk email list. Customer
must include the source of the addressee's address in each bulk
email message.
CPU USAGE
Sites may not use extreme unwarranted CPU usage. This includes usage
of "heavy" scripts or Flash/shockwave files. By heavy
we mean oversized without cause, to the point where most users would
be unable to view them in a reasonable amount of time. No single
site may consume 30% of CPU usage for a sustained period of time.
SERVICE RESALE
Customer may not resell the Service or any portion of the Service unless under a Reseller plan.
Password Protection
Customer is responsible for protecting passwords and for any authorized
or unauthorized use.
MUSIC FILES
Customer may only show or play on his site music and video files
for which he has permission to display and which are necessary for
the operation of his website. Customers may not operate music or
video download sites or use video or music files in any illegal
manner.
CONTENT PROTECTION
Customer agrees to provide appropriate protection to prevent minors
(persons under 18 years of age) from accessing any unsuitable material
that Customer publishes via any Service.
CONTENT OWNERSHIP
Customer is responsible for all content or information residing
on, or obtained, or transmitted via, the Service, regardless of
whether such use is by Customer.
FILE REPOSITORY/DUMP SITE
Customer may not use disk space as a file repository, or dump site.
This includes but is not limited too; warez, serialz, sound files,
applications, zip files. This includes using the space in order
to store content used on other sites (remote linking) . Examples
of this would be using the web space to store images for auction
descriptions, flash or any other files used on another site but
stored on our server. The storage provided to you is purely for
files necessary for the operation of your website.
FREE EMAIL/HOSTING SITES
We do not permit the free giving of POP email accounts or the issuing
of free hosting. This includes near free (1 penny per year for instance).
FACILITATING AUP VIOLATION
Customer activity that facilitates the violation of this AUP by any party constitutes a violation of this AUP by Customer.
AUP Enforcement
Violation of the AUP may subject Customer to international, federal,
and/or state civil and/or criminal liability. UnlimitedWebHostingService
reserves the right in its sole discretion and without prior notice
to suspend and/or terminate Customer's access to the Service at
any time for violating this AUP. UnlimitedWebHostingService also
reserves the right to suspend, filter or block, and/or terminate
Customer's access if Customer's account is being used to exploit
or attack the Service or the networks of others. If Customer's account
has been compromised and attempts to reach Customer and/or to have
Customer repair a breach of security fail, UnlimitedWebHostingService
reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's service. If
Customer's access is suspended or terminated, UnlimitedWebHostingService,
in its sole discretion, may refuse to accept all new e-mail sent
to the terminated e-mail address and delete Customer's data stored
on Service. UnlimitedWebHostingService will fully cooperate with
law enforcement authorities in the detection and prosecution of
illegal activity.
VIOLATION OF TERMS
Breaking any of these aforementioned rules may result in immediate
account suspension without refund, as well as criminal prosecution
where deemed necessary.
REFUND POLICY
All customers will receive a complete refund when cancelling within
the first 30 days of signing up. Customers with quarterly, six-monthly,
annual or longer subscriptions will receive a partial refund if
cancelling. The customer will only be charged for the time already
expended based on shorter term subscriptions. Partial months used
will be deemed to count as whole months. For example a customer
cancelling an annual subscription part way through month 8 will
be deemed to have used 8 months hosting. The cost of this will be
calculated by adding up shorter term subscriptions to give the lowest
cost to the customer. In this instance the 8 months used will be
priced by combining a six months subscription with two monthly subscriptions.
This amount will then be subtracted from the annual subscription
and the balance refunded to the customer.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: UnlimitedWebHostingService shall not be responsible
for any claimed damages, including incidental and consequential
damages, which may arise from servers going off-line or being unavailable
for any reason whatsoever. Further, UnlimitedWebHostingService shall
not be responsible for any claimed damages, including incidental
or consequential damages, resulting from the corruption or deletion
of any web site from one of UnlimitedWebHostingService servers.
All damages shall be limited to the immediate termination of service.
UnlimitedWebHostingService shall be the sole arbiter of what is
and is not a violation of these acceptable use policies. UnlimitedWebHostingService
reserves the right to terminate an account at any time and for any
reason that causes harm to any customer's web sites. UnlimitedWebHostingService
reserves the right to delete all content and files upon termination.
UnlimitedWebHostingService reserves the right to withhold any pre-paid
funds for any site removed for violations of these policies. UnlimitedWebHostingService
reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or suspend service at our
sole discretion. UnlimitedWebHostingService reserves the right to
change these Policies without prior notice or warning. Non-enforcement
of any part of these Policies does not constitute consent.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Initially disputes will be resolved by agreed arbitration with
an arbiter residing in Northern Ireland. Should an issue not be
resolved by arbitration then the issue will be resolved within the
jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland.
