policies.
Web Site, Server, and Network Content/Use Provisions
All services provided by NetProSoft and its underlying service
providers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or
presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any United
States federal, state or city law is prohibited. This includes, but is not
limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or
obscene, material protected by trade secret and other statutes, material that

the service which damages the subscriber or any other party. The subscriber also
agrees that NetProSoft may disclose, without subscribers consent, any and all

NetProSoft prohibits its users from sending unsolicited e-mail messages
(“spamming”), including, but not limited to: Posting the same, or similar,
messages to one or more Usenet or other newsgroups, forums, e-mail mailing lists
or other similar groups or lists; Posting any Usenet or other newsgroup, forum,

commercial advertisements and informational announcements to Internet users, or
any unsolicited e-mail that could reasonably be expected to provoke complaints;
Using e-mail to engage in harassment, whether through language, frequency or
messages. Continuing to send someone e-mail after being asked to stop is
considered harassment; Sending e-mail with falsified or obscured header or

rules or those of the other provider. Users who send bulk e-mail to “opt-in”
list must have a method of confirming or verifying subscriptions and be able to
show evidence of subscriptions for users who complain about unsolicited e-mail.
The Company’s receipt of complaints from Internet users related to e-mails
received due to users use of “opt in” list shall be a violation of this AUP.
Any user that gets any of NetProSoft's IPs listed on any legitimate Spam Block or Black hole list such as but not limited to SpamCop or Spamhaus will be billed a $100 charge to subscribers account and additionally a $100 per hour administrative charge to remove the block and protect our IP ranges and mail servers.
Pornography:
Pornography is prohibited on any NetProSoft server. NetProSoft will be the sole
arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision but in general if
its legal for all ages to see, its ok, if you have to be 18 or 21 to view, then
its not ok. NetProSoft also reserves the right not to host sites that it
considers, in its sole discretion, to be religiously or racially offensive or
inflammatory. NetProSoft will not host warez sites or anything related to,
promoting, or offering warez, serial numbers, cracks, illegal mp3's or anything
else that would considered illegal by the laws governing the citizens of the
United States and the state of Arizona and the city of Phoenix, Arizona.
With the few exceptions listed above and below, we support the uncensored flow of information and ideas over the internet. We do not actively monitor the information that our subscribers transmit and receive, however, we do react immediately to any alleged violations of any of our policies in which case we reserve the right to monitor anything on our network and any packet of information that traverses our network.
Background-running Programs: (for virtual accounts) We may allow programs to run continuously in the background. These are considered on an individual basis and an extra charge may be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.
Server Abuse Issues: Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to NetProSoft servers or the servers of its underlying service providers or a subscriber of NetProSoft or its underlying service providers is strictly prohibited.
Network Security: Subscribers are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the NetProSoft network or any of its other subscribers, and should a violation take place, civil or criminal liability may result. NetProSoft will investigate any alleged violations and cooperate fully with law enforcement. Violations include but are not limited to the attempt to login to any machine which the subscriber is not exclusively paying for, interfering with any service by DDos attacking, mail bombing or anything else that would be detrimental to the services that NetProSoft provides, attempting to probe or scan or test the vulnerability of any machine on the NetProSoft network, forging any IP address, and taking any action in an attempt to receive services that the subscriber is not paying for. A violation of any of the above may result in immediate removal from the network.
Inodes: Each account is allowed to use up to 250,000 inodes - note that each file on the account count as one inode. Any account that goes over 100,000 inodes is removed from the backup processing list so as to avoid over-usage of the server's resources. Account users can unknowingly go over the allowed inode usage if they get too many spam messages (since each spam message counts for one inode). To prevent this from happening, make sure to set your "Default address" inside your Cpanel to :fail: instead of your account's username.
