We support the uncensored flow of information
and ideas over the Internet but we do actively monitor subscriber
activity under normal circumstances. We do not exercise editorial
control over the content of any web site, e-mail transmission,
newsgroups, or other material created or accessible over or
through the services, except for certain proprietary Web sites.
However, in accordance with our TOS (Terms of Service), we
may remove any materials that, in our sole discretion, may
be illegal, may subject us to liability, or which may violate
this AUP. Here4hosting may cooperate with legal authorities
and/or third parties in the investigation of any suspected
or alleged crime or civil wrongdoing. Your violation of this
AUP may result in the suspension or immediate termination
of either your Here4hosting account or other actions as detailed
in Section 3 WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
This document is intended to provide a basic
understand of Here4hosting's Acceptable Use Policy. The following
are guidelines for the establishment and enforcement of Here4hosting's
AUP:
Ensure reliable service to our customers
Ensure security and privacy of our systems and network, as
well as the networks and systems of others
Comply with existing laws
Maintain our reputation as a responsible service provider

free expression and exchange of information
Preserve the privacy and security of individual users
Here4hosting intends to provide its customers
access to everything the Internet has to offer. While Here4hosting
is firmly committed to the principles of free speech, certain
activities that may be damaging to the resources of both Here4hosting
and the Internet and cannot be permitted under the guise of
free speech. The resources of Here4hosting and the Internet
are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user has
a negative impact on the entire community.
We do not routinely monitor the activity of accounts
except for measurements of system utilization and the preparation
of billing records. However, in our efforts to promote good
citizenship within the Internet community, we will respond
appropriately if we become aware of inappropriate use of our
service.
You may not use your dedicated server or virtual
site to publish material, which Here4hosting determines, at
its sole discretion, to be unlawful, indecent or objectionable.
For purposes of this policy, "material" refers to
all forms of communications including narrative descriptions,
graphics (including photographs, illustrations, images, drawings,
logos), executable programs, video recordings, and audio recordings.
If a Here4hosting account is used to violate
the Acceptable Use Policy or our TOS, we reserve the right
to terminate your service without notice. We prefer to advise
customers of inappropriate behaviour and any necessary corrective
action; however, flagrant violations of the Acceptable Use
Policy will result in immediate termination of service. Our
failure to enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall
not be construed as a waiver of our right to do so at any
time.
As a member of our network community, you must
use your Internet access responsibly. If you have any questions
regarding this policy, please contact us at abuse@Here4hosting.com

Security
You are responsible for any misuse of your account,
even if a friend, family member, guest or employee committed
the inappropriate activity. Therefore, you must take steps
to ensure that others do not gain unauthorized access to your
account. In addition, you may not use your account to breach
security of another account or attempt to gain unauthorized
access to another network or server.
Your password provides access to your account.
It is your responsibility to keep your password secure. Sharing
your password and account access with unauthorized users is
prohibited. You should take care to prevent others from using
your account since you will be held responsible for such use.
Attempting to obtain another user's account password
is strictly prohibited, and may result in termination of service.
You must adopt adequate security measures to prevent
or minimize unauthorized use of your account.
You may not attempt to circumvent user authentication
or security of any host, network or account. This includes,
but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for you,
logging into or making use of a server or account you are
not expressly authorized to access, or probing the security
of other networks. Use or distribution of tools designed for
compromising security is prohibited. Examples of these tools
include, but are not limited to, password guessing programs,
cracking tools or network probing tools. You may not attempt
to interfere with service to any user, host or network ("denial
of service attacks"). This includes, but is not limited
to, "flooding" of networks, deliberate attempts
to overload a service, and attempts to "crash" a
host.
Users who violate systems or network security
may incur criminal or civil liability. Here4hosting will cooperate
fully with investigations of violations of systems or network
security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement
authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations.
Network Performance
Here4hosting accounts operate on shared resources.
Excessive use or abuse of these shared network resources by
one customer may have a negative impact on all other customers.
Misuse of network resources in a manner, which impairs network
performance, is prohibited by this policy and may result in
termination of your account.
You are prohibited from excessive consumption
of resources, including CPU time, memory, disk space and session
time. You may not use resource-intensive programs, which negatively
impact other customers or the performances of Here4hosting
systems or networks. Here4hosting reserves the right to terminate
or limit such activities.
