Acceptable Use Policy

 By using DNG webhosting services, Account Holder agrees to comply with this Policy. Account Holders are expected to use the Internet with respect, courtesy, and responsibility, giving due regard to the rights of other Internet users. DNG expect Account Holder to have a basic knowledge of how the Internet functions, the types of uses, which are generally acceptable, and the types of uses, which are to be avoided. Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable use. The following are unacceptable uses:

Illegality in any form, including but not limited to activities such as unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted software, violation of U.S. export restrictions, harassment, fraud, trafficking in obscene material, drug dealing, and other illegal activities.


Interpretation

The provisions of this Policy are intended as guidelines and are not meant to be exhaustive. Generally, conduct that violates law, regulation, or the accepted norms of the Internet community, whether or not expressly mentioned in this Policy, is prohibited. DNG reserves the right at all times to prohibit activities that damage its commercial reputation and goodwill.


Illegal Use

DNG servers may be used only for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution or storage of any material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right used without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Examples of non-acceptable content or links: "Pirated software", "Hackers programs or archives", "Warez Sites", "Irc Bots", "Mp3".

DNG will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision, provided that any determination of a violation of this provision shall be made reasonably in good faith based on applicable law, regulation and the accepted norms of the Internet community.


System and Network Security

Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: Unauthorized access, use, probe, or scan of a systems security or authentication measures, data or traffic. Interference with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks, forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.


Misuse of System Resources

It is a violation for anyone to post information or to include programs on the web space provided through the WEBCASTING services which consume excessive CPU time or storage space.


Tortious Conduct

No one shall post unlawful or defamatory information about a person without their consent, intentionally inflicting emotional distress, or violating trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights.


Spamming

Sending unsolicited mail messages, including, without limitation, commercial advertising and informational announcements, is explicitly prohibited. A user shall not use another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site.

It is contrary to DNG policy for account holders to use DNG servers to effect or participate in any of the following activities:

1 To post to any Usenet or other newsgroup, forum, e-mail mailing list or other similar group or list articles which are off-topic according to the charter or other owner-published FAQ or description of the group or list;

2 To send unsolicited mass e-mailings, if such unsolicited e-mailings provoke complaints from the recipients;

3 To engage in any of the foregoing activities using the service of another provider, but channeling such activities through a DNG provided server, or using a DNG provided server as a maildrop for responses;

4 To falsify user information provided to DNG or to other users of the service in connection with use of an DNG service.


Consequences of Violation

If DNG becomes aware of an alleged violation by any Account Holder of the Acceptable Use Policy, DNG shall promptly notify such Account Holder in writing of all facts supporting such allegation. If DNG reasonably determines that the Account Holder's activities violate the Acceptable Use Policy and pose a clear, present and material risk of harm to DNG's business or operations or to DNG's other account holders, DNG may immediately, without prior notice to Account Holder, suspend or otherwise restrict Account Holder 's use of the affected Web Hosting Services to the extent necessary to prevent further possible unauthorized activity. Within one hour of taking any action to suspend or restrict a Account Holder's use of the affected Web Hosting Services and Products, DNG shall provide written notice to Account Holder by facsimile or e-mail stating the actions taken and all facts supporting any allegation of violations of the Acceptable Use Policy. Following completion of the investigation, and delivery to DNG of a written report setting forth the details and conclusion of such investigation, depending on the severity of the violation, DNG may, in its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate the affected Web Hosting Services provided to the offending Account Holder and/or pursue other civil remedies, but only after providing at least two (2) business days' prior written notice to DNG of DNG's intention to take any such action. If DNG becomes aware that such violation is a criminal offense, DNG will notify the appropriate law enforcement department of such violation. DNG does not issue service credits for any outages incurred through service disablement resulting from the Acceptable Use Policy violations. All DNG contacts with any third party, including, without limitation, law enforcement, shall be in accordance with applicable law and regulation, including, but not limited to, law and regulation governing the privacy of subscriber information as applicable to DNG's provision of its services to its Account Holders.
