Acceptable Terms of Use

By using our web hosting services, you agree to comply with our acceptable usage policy. We expect you to possess a basic knowledge of the Internet and computer function. We also expect you to have access to a computer which is connected to the Internet to use our services. The spirit of this policy is to guide you to use the MediaHostNet service with due regard to the rights of other Internet users and in conformity with special MediaHostNet network environment.

Illegal Usage

MediaHostNet servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right used without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Examples of non-acceptable content or links: Pirated software, Hackers programs or archives, Warez sites, MP3, and IRC bots. The subscriber to MediaHostNet service agrees to indemnify and hold harmless MediaHostNet from any claims resulting from the use of the service that damages the subscriber or any other party.

Adult Content

Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited. This includes sites that may infer sexual content, or links to adult content elsewhere. The reason for doing this is the fact that an average "adult site" gets more hits than 100 standard websites. Some of the smaller adult sites get around 5 GB of transfer per day. With these types of resources being utilized, our servers would be severely slowed if we allowed these high traffic sites to also reside on our servers. MediaHostNEt reserves the right to decide what it considers "adult content", "adult material", "sexually explicit", "pornography", or "sexually related".

Security

Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: Unauthorized access, use, probe, or scan of a systems security or authentication measures, data or traffic. Interference with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks. Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

Server Resource

Any website that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given an option of either paying extra (which depends on the resource needed) or reducing the resource used to an acceptable level. MediaHostNet shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level.

CGi Scripts

Cgi script sharing with domains not hosted by MediaHostNet.com is not allowed. Any cgi-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting the server performance or the network integrity have to be removed as we ask. MediHostNet have the right to remove those scripts without prior notice if clients still install that scripts.

Chat Rooms

MediaHostNet does not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot permit it as an account option. MediaHostNet does provide a choice of Java chatrooms for a small extra charge that should meet most users' needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine of our servers.

Background Running Programs and Cron Jobs

MediaHostNet may allow programs to run in the background. These programs will be considered on an individual basis and extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run background programs please contact us by filling this form before doing so.

IRC

MediaHostNet does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

UCE (Unsolicited Commerce Email) - SPAM

Spamming, or the sending of mass unsolicited email, from or through a MediaHostNet server or using an email address that is maintained on a MediaHostNet machine is STRICTLY prohibited. MediaHostNet will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. If you engage in any of the foregoing activities using the service of another ISP, but channeling activities through a MediaHostNet server as a maildrop for responses, you are in violation. Violators may be fined and may face an immediate suspension.

Server abuse

Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a MediaHostNet server or customer of MediaHostNet is strictly prohibited.

Any sub-networks of MediaHostNet and dedicated servers must adhere to the above policies. The failure to meet or follow any of the above guidelines may result in account deactivation.

Actions Taken by MediaHostNet

During the investigation MediaHostNet may restrict Customer 's access in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, MediaHostNet may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate Customer's account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, MediaHostNet will notify the appropriate law enforcement department of such violation.

MediaHostNet does not issue service credits for any outages incurred through service disablement resulting from Terms violations.
