ModPosh's Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is provided to give our
customers and users a clear understanding of what ModPosh expects of them while
using the service. All users of ModPosh's Internet services: those who access
some of our Services but do not have accounts, as well as those who pay a
service fee to subscribe to the Services, must comply with this AUP and our TOS

IMPORTANT NOTICE: *All Payments To ModPosh Are

Otherwise Stated*
We support the uncensored flow of information and ideas over the Internet and
do not actively monitor subscriber activity under normal circumstances.
Similarly, 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. ModPosh 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 ModPosh account or other actions as detailed in
Section 3 WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
This document is intended to provide a basic
understand of ModPosh's Acceptable Use Policy. The following are guidelines for
the establishment and enforcement of ModPosh'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
-
Encourage responsible use of the Internet
and discourage activities which reduce the usability and value of Internet
services
-
Preserve the value of Internet resources as
a conduit for free expression and exchange of information
-
Preserve the privacy and security of
individual users
ModPosh intends to provide its customers access to everything the Internet
has to offer. While ModPosh is firmly committed to the principles of free
speech, certain activities that may be damaging to the resources of both ModPosh
and the Internet and cannot be permitted under the guise of free speech. The
resources of ModPosh 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 ModPosh 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 ModPosh 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 behavior 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.

SECURITY
You are responsible for any misuse of your account, even if the inappropriate
activity was committed by a friend, family member, guest or employee. 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. ModPosh 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
ModPosh 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 ModPosh
systems or networks. ModPosh reserves the right to terminate or limit such
activities.
No
chat rooms are to be used on our servers.
