Acceptable Use Policy Terms of Service
Acceptable Use Policy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Internet is intended for use by mature adults and by minors under adult supervision. PorkyHost does not permit sites to be created by minors, nor does it permit sites intended for use by minors. PorkyHost clients are expected to use the Internet responsibly, obeying all state and federal laws and following proper "Netiquette".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following practices will NOT be tolerated by PorkyHost:
CHILD PORNOGRAPHY is required, BY LAW, to be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Furthermore, it is our policy that, in addition to the required reporting, we voluntarily forward all information we have to law enforcement without the need for a subpoena or any other formal process. This allows law enforcement to respond more quickly, before the trail gets cold. We maintain extensive access logs with IP addresses, access times, and other information. This is not an anonymous hosting service, and we will report you. If you wish to report child pornography found on a PorkyHost web site, please both email abuse@PorkyHost.com and call the Child Pornograhy Tipline at 1-800-843-5678.
Explicit cartoon depictions of sex are not permitted, as it is simply too difficult, if not impossible, to determine whether such depictions are intended to portray minors.
Materials that are not constitutionally protected (i.e. obscene materials). Obscene material includes anything that would be obscene in San Jose, California or in the jurisdiction you are located in. Although this is not a complete list, some of the things that often qualify as obscene include the depiction of defecation, bestiality, rape, or murder.
Unlawful activities such as unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted photos, materials or software, violation of trademark or other intellectual property rights, violation of U.S. export restrictions, fraud, the solicitation of illegal gambling or prostitution, or other practices which may be considered illegal.
PageJacking, which includes stealing the look and feel of a third party web site that you do not own with the intention of defrauding consumers into believing that your web site is officially associated with that third party web site.
Net mail abuse, including but not limited to message delivery considered to be spamming(sending unsolicited email), mailbombing (sending numerous and very similar messages to the same e-mail addresses), trolling (generating outrageous messages with the purpose of generating greater response), subscribing others to a mailing list without permission, posting off-topic messages to news groups or discussion groups to generate web traffic, or distribution of bulk e-mail software. There are definitely other practices either unlawful or considered harassment, and PorkyHost reserves the right to determine what constitutes net mail abuse.
The posting of defamatory, scandalous, or private information about a person without their consent, or intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
The posting of materials intended to harm another person or group, such as racist or hate sites, and/or the posting of materials detailing methods of harming persons or property, such as bomb making instructions.
Misuse of system resources, including but not limited to, knowingly employing programs which consume excessive CPU time or storage space or the resale of access to CGI scripts installed on our servers.
The linking of your graphics or data files from an html page not maintained on PorkyHost, the use of PorkyHost to store data files, or the storage of misidentified files.
NOTE: A breach of any of the policies above may result in the permanent or temporary suspension of your PorkyHost account, at our option. PorkyHost will not be held responsible for any damages suffered during such forced downtime.TOP

If COMPANY's advertising model on YOUR Web Site Space is designated "TGP Compliant", "banner", "header/footer", or similar, then specifically and without limitation, the license of rights granted herein pursuant to Paragraph 1 is expressly conditioned upon and subject to COMPANY's retention at all times of the unhindered right to control the initial and ending (i.e. top-most and bottom-most) vertical pixels and all corresponding horizontal pixels on each individual page display (Web Page) or frame, or the leftmost pixels on each web page or frame together with all corresponding vertical pixels ("COMPANY's Retained Space"). COMPANY may (but is not required to) utilize COMPANY's Retained Space by electing to utilize html frame sets so as to segregate such space. Such HTML frame sets may result in utilization of additional pixels, which utilization shall be permissible pursuant to this agreement. COMPANY may also, whether in addition to or in the place of its Retained Space, cause the opening of additional Web Page windows displaying advertising or other content, and/or cause full page or partial full page advertising to be displayed, or/or imbed advertising links or other elements within YOUR web pages.

YOU may not upload materials that YOU are not legally allowed to view or possess.

This includes nudity. Additional advertising options may be made available and any limitations described in conjunction with those options, either during the option selection process, in these terms of service, or in the Appropriate Use Policy, are incorporated herein.
