This Acceptable Use Policy applies to all persons and entities (collectively, "customers") using the products and services of i-NetSolutions including Internet service. Our policies are designed to protect the security, integrity, reliability, and privacy of both the i-NetSolutions network and the products and services i-NetSolution offers to its customers. i-NetSolutions reserves the right to modify this policy at any time, effective immediately upon posting of the modification. Your use of i-NetSolution products and services constitutes your acceptance of the Acceptable Use Policy in effect at the time of your use.

What Uses are Prohibited?

Unacceptable use includes, but is not limited to, any of the following:

1. Posting, transmission, re-transmission, or storing material on   or through any of i-NetSolution products or services, if in the sole judgment of i-NetSolutions such posting, transmission, re-transmission or storage is: (a) in violation of any local, state, federal, or non-United States law or regulation (including rightsprotected by copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property or similar laws or regulations); (b) threatening or abusive; (c) obscene; (d) indecent; or (e) defamatory.

5. We do not host porn/adult websites.  Our definition of a porn website is a website that sells memberships to access adult images and video or a website that is setup solely, or in part, to distribute adult images and/or video.  Most porn websites in general tend to have a heavy load on the server because they generally attract a much higher level of traffic to a website and, visitors will in turn download a high volume of files. Therefore, we prefer to decline hosting of any websites that may have an adverse affect on the performance of our servers, or interfere with other users and their hosted websites.  

6. Customer is fully responsible for any loss or other liability incurred as a result of the removal of hosted files.

Upon notification of the existence of an abusable resource (e.g., open news server, unsecured mail relay, or smurf amplifier), the customer shall immediately take all necessary steps to avoid any further abuse of such resource. Any abuse of an open resource that occurs after the customer has received such notification shall be considered a violation of this policy and enforced as such.

Enforcement

i-NetSolutions may immediately suspend and/or terminate the customer's service for violation of any provision of this policy upon verbal or written notice, which notice may be provided by support ticket or email. Prior to suspension or termination, i-NetSolutions will attempt to work with our customers to cure violations of this policy and ensure that there is no re-occurrence; however, i-NetSolution reserves the right to suspend or terminate based on a first offense.
