Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers Strategic Webmasters LLC will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "Internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning etc.

Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a Strategic Webmasters LLC customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to Strategic Webmasters LLC, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Strategic Webmasters LLC has the right to discontinue service, or deny access to anyone who violates our Policies or the terms and conditions shown below WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds of fees paid will be made if account termination is due to violation of the terms outlined below.

Customers may not run IRC, bots or clients on shared servers. Unacceptable uses also include, but are NOT limited to: Bulk emailing, unsolicited emailings, newsgroup spamming, illegal content, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, warez, cracks, software serial numbers, and/or anything else determined by Strategic Webmasters LLC to be unacceptable use of Strategic Webmasters LLC's services including abuse of server resources.

All hosting accounts may be terminated that include the following content or which have links to the following content: " Providing material that is grossly offensive to the Web community including blatant expressions of bigotry, racism or hatred.

" Acts of copyright infringement including offering pirated computer programs or links to such programs, information used to circumvent manufacturer-installed copy-protect devices, including serial or registration numbers for software programs, or any type of cracker utilities.

Bandwidth Traffic
Each plan with Strategic Webmasters LLC comes with a pre determined bandwidth usage amount. In the event that your account exceeds the bandwidth limitations included with your account you will be billed at $3.00 per 1GB/month If you want to pre-pay for bandwidth overages, you will need to pay $2.00 per 1GB/month.

You will receive a notice detailing your bandwidth usage.

You will have 30 days to pay for your overages. If you do not pay for your overages your site will be disabled within 30 days of your first notice.

Unsolicited Email (Spam)
Unsolicited commercial advertisements (spam) are not allowed in e-mail, and will likely result in account cancellation.

Strategic Webmasters LLC takes a zero-tolerance approach to spam originating from our leased servers or for spam advertising of domains hosted on our leased servers.

The following activities are not allowed: " Unsolicited bulk or commercial messages ("spam"). This includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts. Such messages may only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your domain. " Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers is prohibited. Any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning and without refund. " Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message with the intent to disrupt a server or account ("mail bombing"). " Spamming Newsgroups: Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such. " Mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail, you must not send that person any further messages. " Providing spamware (software used to send bulk email or software used to harvest email addresses) or links to sites providing spamware is strictly prohibited and subject to demand for removal or account cancellation. Note: If you use the services of another provider (including but not limited to the use of address lists obtained from a third party vendor or provider) to promote a web site hosted by or through Strategic Webmasters LLC (spamvertising), then the provisions of the above Policy shall apply as if the spam were sent through our leased servers.

Penalty: Depending on the severity of your SPAMMING, Strategic Webmasters LLC reserves the right to charge you between $1.00 - $100.00 PER SPAM sent through our network. Your web site content will also be confiscated and it will be NEVER returned to you.

CGI Scripts
(This section does not apply to managed dedicated or colocation servers.) Each shared Unix web hosting account comes with its own cgi-bin, in which you are free to use any* CGI scripts you wish. All CGI scripts (Perl scripts with a .pl or .cgi extension) intended for use on shared Windows 2000 web hosting accounts are subject to approval by the server NT Administrators.

*See the Server Resource Abuse section.

Server Resource Abuse
(This section does not apply to managed dedicated or colocation servers.) Shared server accounts are limited in use of the amount of server resources. Shared server resource abuse includes any process or service usage that affects normal shared server operation, resources or connectivity, and which causes a server to become overloaded. Shared server resources include CPU and memory usage, number of concurrent processes, number of concurrent port or database connections and total bandwidth. Possible causes of server resource abuse include, but are not limited to, the use of: CGI, Perl, Sendmail, mySQL, MSSQL, PHP, ASP, COLDFUSION, HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP. If server resource abuse is detected, possible actions include, but are not limited to: disabling of the offending script or scripts, disabling of the specific service, disabling of the entire account or account cancellation. If server overload is a result of server resource abuse, these actions will be taken without prior notice or warning.

Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms within a shared hosting account, without approving it with Strategic Webmasters LLC Support. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine for others. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.

Abuse of SMTP Mail Server
We do not allow clients to send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day from a shared hosting account. If you do send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for Network Abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 2000 per day your account will be moved to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $50.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please contact Strategic Webmasters LLC Support to have your domain moved.

Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. (this section does not apply to managed dedicated servers)

IRC
We currently do not allow IRC IRC clients or IRC bots to be operated on any of our servers. In addition, IRC servers are not permitted on our network. Anyone found to be in violation of this policy risks immediate account termination.

If Strategic Webmasters LLC elects to take any corrective action, Strategic Webmasters LLC will not refund any unused pre-paid fees. Your use of your account and access to it is your responsibility.
