AztecOne reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time to stay in compliance with any laws, regulations and security requirements. By using AztecOne services, any customer, employee or third party unconditionally accepts the terms of this policy.

These hosting accounts are for web hosting and email only. NO IRC server, IRC bot or game servers are permitted. Any site not in compliance will be canceled and any fees paid forfeited.
ILLEGAL USE.
The AztecOne Network may be used only for lawful purposes.

This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; government and military data protected by law and national security; university and academic data protected by public policy; and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Any violation of the above which compromises the integrity of the AztecOne Network or any other network is strictly prohibited.
SYSTEM AND NETWORK SECURITY
Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. AztecOne will investigate incidents involving such violations and may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities if a criminal violation is suspected. Examples of unlawful acts, system, or network security violations include, without limitation, the following:

Interference with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mailbombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks.

MISUSE OF ACCOUNT
Operating any service which makes an account feature available to third parties for any use other than normal access to that account's Web site is forbidden. Operating any service which enables or assists anonymous or abusive behavior by third parties is forbidden. Operating any service which affects the stability or reliability of any network server or network component, impacts other users or the company negatively, or degrades quality of service is forbidden.
This includes but is not limited to third party access to CGI services, database hosting, counters, banner exchanges, autoresponders, mailboxes, mail forwarding, mail filtering, and content publishing systems. All account features are to be used solely in order to develop and implement the Web site(s) associated with that account. Resellers may make reasonable use of account features shared between multiple accounts they are being billed for.
This means that, for example, you cannot:
resell autoresponders to third parties
run a service like hotmail.com
run a service like pobox.com
run a service like tripod.com
run a service like linkexchange.com
run a service like thecounter.com
run CGI scripts for other sites
run a public blog for multiple users
host a remailer
RESOURCES
Users may not, through a cron job, CGI script, interactive commands, or any other means, take the following actions:
- Run any program that requires more than 30 CPU seconds to complete.
-
Run any program that "fork bombs" or otherwise uses child processes in a manner that disrupts performance of the server, or in order to attempt to circumvent resource restrictions.
-
Use the find command, or any similar tool which recursively explores directory structures, anywhere except in their own directories.
-
Send out mail to more than 100 addresses in one batch, whether sequentially or in parallel. Such batches must "sleep" for at least three seconds between each delivery attempt. Please consider using a service for such mailings.
- Send prohibitively large messages to any receiving system that cannot or does not wish to receive them. Large file transfers should be accomplished through FTP, not electronic mail.
-
Run their own mailing list software, whether custom or packaged.
-
Run any interactive chat application.
- Run a banner exchange, remotely-accessible Web counter, or any other service that performs CGI services for sites outside our network. Please see the policy on misuse of account features.
EMAIL and ABUSE of SERVICES
Sending unsolicited mail messages, including, without limitation, commercial advertising and informational announcements, is explicitly prohibited. A user shall not use another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site owner.
The transmission of unsolicited or prohibited advertising or other content through electronic mail or inappropriate Usenet postings is forbidden. The use of our network for unsolicited mass mailings or postings (commonly known as "Spam") by any customer will cause that customer's services to be terminated immediately and without warning, and the customer will be held legally responsible for the damages to Aztecone, both monetary and in reputation. The use of any other service to make such a mailing or posting, with any reference to our network (including but not limited to mailboxes, autoresponders, and Web pages), shall also be grounds for account termination and/or other actions as described above.
Abusive behavior can severely damage your online reputation and business. We will not tolerate such incidents.
USENET
Posting the same or similar message to one or more newsgroups (excessive cross-posting or multiple-posting) especially with the intent of promoting your site, services, products etc. This behavior, also known as "SPAM", is expressly prohibited.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON BEHALF OF AN AztecOne CUSTOMER OR A CUSTOMER'S END USER, SHALL BE CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY BY SUCH CUSTOMER OR END USER.
For Example:
If you are hosting a bulk email site on AztecOne servers and you use another ISP to SPAM from in order to reference your AztecOne site by IP address or domain name, you are violating AztecOne policy and possibly the law.
If you have been granted telnet access to AztecOne servers, multiple telnet log-ons are strictly prohibited and you must come from a valid IP address. Forgery is against the law.
Any type of denial of service attack from valid or invalid addresses is a violation of AztecOne security policy and against the law.
If you have been granted password privileges for FTP or telnet, sharing your password with an unauthorized user or third party is strictly prohibited.
