"I'm
a newcomer to webhosting and I have zero experience
when it comes to this. The staff have responded
to all of my email questions and concerns and
the experience has been very positve. I like
the live tech support, knowledge base, and
ticket system, as it has been very useful in
dealing with questions that require immediate
responses.
Many thanks to the staff at PolurNET. Keep
up the great work!"

| 2. General Prohibitions. |
| |
|
|
| You may not use this site or PolurNET Communications Services for any purpose that is
unlawful or in any manner that could damage,
disable, overburden or impair the operation of
this site, the PolurNET Communications Network, or PolurNET Communications Services, or any other party’s
use or enjoyment of this site, the PolurNET Communications
Network, or PolurNET Communications Services. |
| |
|
|
| |
2.1. |
You may not use this site or PolurNET Communications Services for any purpose that is
unlawful or in any manner that could damage,
disable, overburden or impair the operation of
this site, the PolurNET Communications Network, or PolurNET Communications Services, or any other party’s
use or enjoyment of this site, the PolurNET Communications
Network, or PolurNET Communications Services. |
| |
|
|
| |
2.2. |
Adult Content Prohibited on ALL Servers |
| |
|
|
| |
|
2.2.1. |
Adult-oriented sites demand
special system, network, and bandwidth requirements.
PolurNET Communications does not accommodate
those extraordinarily large requirements in
its standard shared, reseller or Windows-based
hosting plans on all servers unless
otherwise specially noted..
Therefore you may not use PolurNET Communications
services for adult-oriented and pornography
sites.
This includes sites that may include sexual
content, or links to adult content elsewhere. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.2. |
Where allowed by applicable law, PolurNET Communications does not prohibit you from posting a static
Web page that meets all of
the following criteria: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
• |
the page merely advertises
an adult service and provides information
about how to contact the service offline,
i.e., by telephone, facsimile, or postal
mail and not via a link from a Web site
that uses PolurNET Communications services; |
|
|
• |
the page does not display any sexually
explicit content and does not link to
any Web page or site displaying any sexually
explicit content; and |
|
|
• |
the page does not require a user to
log in with a username or password to
access any of the Web site’s content. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
2.2.3. |
In some jurisdictions, even the notice and
advertisement of adult-oriented services may
be illegal. It is your sole responsibility to
learn the laws that govern what you are and are
not allowed to post on your Web site. As part
of your agreement with PolurNET Communications, you must
comply with all such applicable laws.
However, PolurNET Communications cannot and does not advise
you or make any recommendations to you about
the existence of any such laws in a particular
jurisdiction. Nor does PolurNET Communications advise you
about how to comply with any such laws. Furthermore,
laws vary throughout the United States of America
and all over the world, so you should contact
your legal advisor for more information and specific
recommendations concerning the kinds of online
materials that are legal in your region. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.4. |
If you use PolurNET Communications service to
publish any content that any applicable law deems “harmful,” “inappropriate,” or “unsuitable” for
minors (persons under 18 years of age), then
you must provide appropriate protection to prevent
minors from accessing that content. Such protection
is your sole responsibility because PolurNET Communications does not censor the content of your Web
sites and pages. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.5. |
If you have a reseller account with
PolurNET Communications, you may not resell our hosting
services to any clients or customers that sell
adult content. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.6. |
You may not use PolurNET Communications services
to sell or solicit sales for any of the following
items, products or services because they are
or may be illegal in one or more jurisdictions
where PolurNET Communications services are offered,
or where they can be viewed through PolurNET Communications services: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
• |
Online pornography or
adult content for which a viewer must
subscribe to access it, |
|
|
• |
Adult content-related products or services
(including X-rated videos, pictures,
etc. especially of individuals under
18 years of age), and |
|
|
• |
Obscene materials, as defined by law. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
If we find any of your sites (or any of
the sites of your customers, if you have a
reseller account) to be selling any of the
prohibited products or services, the offending
accounts shall be subject to immediate account
termination. |
| |
|
|

Definition of Spam. |
| |
|
|

Unsolicited commercial
e-mail and electronic messages are colloquially
referred to as “spam.” Other common
names for spam include “spam e-mail,” “junk
e-mail,” “bulk e-mail,” “direct
e-mail,” and “mass e-mail.” Spam
is the electronic equivalent of the direct
mail you receive in your postal mailbox frequently.
In its most general terms, and as used in
this NO-SPAM Policy (the “Policy”),
spam is: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
a commercial e-mail message or
other electronic message, including, but not

| |
|
• |
posted to an electronic mailing
list (other than an “opt-in” e-mail
list as described below), |

service (such as America Online), |
| |
|
• |

| |
|
• |
sent via an instant message system (such as
ICQ, Yahoo! Pager, Yahoo! Instant Messenger,
or AOL Instant Messenger), |
| |
|
• |
sent through e-mail or another Internet means
of communication when the message’s ultimate
destination is a facsimile (“fax”)
machine, cellular or wireless telephone, or wireless
device, |
| |
• |
a commercial e-mail message or
other electronic message that is addressed to
one or more recipients with whom you do not have
an preexisting business or personal relationship, |
| |
• |
a commercial e-mail message or
other electronic message that is sent to a mailing
list of addresses that you purchased or that
were otherwise distributed, or any list of e-mail
addresses whose owners did not sign up for your
specific mailing list, including without limitation
lists commonly known as “affiliate lists,” |
| |
• |
a commercial e-mail message or
other electronic message that is not sent at
the request of, or with the express consent of,
the recipient(s), |
| |
• |
a commercial e-mail message or
other electronic message that is sent to a recipient
who has opted out of receiving further commercial
electronic messages from you, or |
| |
• |
a commercial e-mail message or
other electronic message that contains forged
headers, compromised mail server relays, or false
contact information. |
| |
|
|
| |
For purposes of this
Policy, spam also includes any e-mail or other
electronic message that is sent in violation
of any applicable Federal, state, or local law
regulating unsolicited commercial e-mail, unsolicited
fax transmissions, or any other type of unsolicited
commercial electronic message, regardless of
whether that message fits the definition of “spam” provided
above. |
| |
|
|
| |
7.6. |
“Opt-in” E-mail Lists. |
| |
|
|
| |
Please note: messages
sent to “opt-in” e-mail lists are
not spam, for purposes of this Policy, provided
that those messages meet all of the following
criteria: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
the messages are sent to an “opt-in” e-mail
list in which ALL subscribers have VOLUNTARILY
agreed to receive announcements and advertisements
about products and services; |
| |
