10GBFree | Acceptable Use Policy

10GBFree.com practices a "no tolerance" policy when it comes to any activity on our servers that we deem to be abusive. In short, we will immediately shut down any account that violates our AUP. The examples named in the following list are non-exclusive and are provided solely for guidance. If you have any questions about what is and isn't acceptable, refer to our helpdesk
The following activities are also not permitted from other Internet Service Providers on behalf of, or to advertise, any service hosted or connected with 10GBFree.com, or connected via the 10GBFree.com network. Furthermore, such services may not be advertised via deceptive marketing policies, as defined by the Federal Trade Commission Deception Policy Statement.
General Conduct:

Users are prohibited from transmitting on or through any of 10GBFree.com's services, any material that is, in 10GBFree.com's sole discretion, unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, hateful, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law.
10GBFree.com services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or storage of any information, data or material in violation of United States or state regulation or common law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other statute. 10GBFree.com reserves the right to remove such illegal material from its servers.
The resale of 10GBFree.com products and services is not permitted.

Users may not attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account ("cracking"). This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the User, logging into a server or account the User is not expressly authorized to access, or probing the security of other networks (such as running a SATAN scan or similar tool).
Users 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 may not use any kind of program/script/command, or send messages of any kind, designed to interfere with a user's terminal session, via any means, locally or by the Internet.
Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. 10GBFree.com 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.

Harassment, whether through language, frequency, or message size, is prohibited.
Users may not send email to any person who does not wish to receive it. If a recipient asks to stop receiving email, the User must not send that person any further email.
Users are explicitly prohibited from sending unsolicited bulk mail messages ("junk mail" or "spam"). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, and political tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it.
Malicious email, including, but not limited to "mailbombing" (flooding a user or site with very large or numerous pieces of email), is prohibited.
Forging of header information is not permitted.
10GBFree.com accounts or services may not be used to collect replies to messages sent from another Internet Service Provider, where those messages violate this Acceptable Use Policy or the Acceptable Use Policy of that other provider.
These rules apply to other types of Internet-based distribution mediums as well, such as RLG's Ariel system (a system for sending FAX-like documents over the Internet). USENET postings have their own regulations; see below.

By using 10GBFree.com's services, you consent to our Acceptable Use Policy and agree to the terms and guidelines detailed above. If any changes are made to our Acceptable Use Policy, we will post those changes on this page.
