Terms of Service

This Web Hosting Agreement is between WSWD Inc. and the person and/or business entity who signs up for WSWD service(s). This Agreement governs clients' use of WSWD's services, and is activated upon creating an account with our company.

Affronts to Etiquette
Unacceptable activities include spamming (sending unsolicited advertising to those with which the customer has no existing business relationship, posting off-topic advertising in newsgroups); spoofing (using a return email address which is not the valid reply address of the sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is really sending the message; passive spamming (promoting a web site hosted by WSWD by spamming from some other source), trolling (posting controversial messages in newsgroups to generate responses), mailbombing (inundating a user with email without any serious intent to correspond), generating a higher volume of outgoing mail than a normal user (over 10% of available system resources), and subscribing someone else to an electronic mailing list without that person's permission. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or sent to a recipient who has not requested the message. Making an email address available to the public does not constitute a request to receive messages. Distribution of mass emailing programs is also prohibited. All recipients on a mailing list must have personally subscribed. Mailing lists may not be used to distributed unsolicited email. Any customer repeatedly "mailbombed" or that attracts such behavior will be asked to leave. If you are not sure if your actions will be in violation, please ask first (abuse@wswd.net).

Spam/Unsolicited Mail
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet is prohibited. Maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. WSWD will terminate all accounts found to be spamming, without notice. A $500 cleanup fee for violating this policy will be charged. Futhermore WSWD reserves the right to pursue legal prosecution for this violation. In addition, a $1.00 charge will be assessed PER EMAIL sent, as damages, should we choose to pursue and prosecute.

Legal Commercial Email
You must obtain WSWD's advance approval for any bulk commercial e-mail, which will not be given unless you are able to demonstrate all of the following to WSWD's reasonable satisfaction:

  • Your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail via some affirmative means, such as an opt-in procedure;

  • Your procedures for soliciting consent include reasonable means to ensure that the person giving consent is the owner of the e-mail address for which the consent is given;

  • You retain evidence of the recipient's consent in a form that may be promptly produced on request, and you honor recipient's and WSWD's requests to produce consent evidence within 72 hours of receipt of the request.

  • You have procedures in place that allow a recipient to easily revoke their consent - such as a link in the body of the e-mail, or instructions to reply with the word "Remove" in the subject line. Revocations of consent are honored within 72 hours, and you notify recipients that their revocation of their consent will be honored in 72 hours;

  • You must have a Privacy Policy posted for each domain associated with the mailing;

  • You have the means to track anonymous complaints;

  • You may not obscure the source of your e-mail in any manner. Your e-mail must include the recipients e-mail address in the body of the message or in the "TO" line of the e-mail; and

  • You otherwise comply with the CAN SPAM Act and other applicable law.

These policies apply to messages sent using your WSWD service, or to messages sent from any network by you or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site hosted via your WSWD service. In addition, you may not use a third party e-mail service that does not practice similar procedures for all its customers.

WSWD may test and otherwise monitor your compliance with its requirements, including requesting opt-in information from a random sample of your list at any time.

An account who gets any of WSWD's IP addresses blacklisted in any of the various SPAM databases will be terminated immediately and without notice. No refund of services will be provided.

Age
The customer must be 18 years of age to obtain our service.

Abuse of the Legal Rights of Others
Examples of unacceptable activities in this regard include posting private information about a person without their consent, infringing intellectual property rights, defaming a person or business, and knowingly making available code which will have a deleterious effect on third party computers. WSWD supports free speech on the Internet, and will not suspend or cancel a customer’s account simply because it disagrees with the views expressed by the customer. Where there are allegations that a customer’s on-line activity has violated the legal rights of a third party, WSWD will not substitute itself for a court of law in deciding tort claims raised by the third party.

Material Protected by Copyright
You may not publish, distribute, or otherwise copy in any manner any music, software, art, or other work protected by copyright law unless:

  • you have been expressly authorized by the owner of the copyright for the work to copy the work in that manner;
  • you are otherwise permitted by established United States copyright law to copy the work in that manner.

WSWD will terminate the service of copyright infringers.

Copyright Infringement Notice (Digital Millennium Copyright Act)

WSWD Inc.

Abuse of the Law
WSWD’s services may be used for lawful purposes only. Illegality includes but is not limited to: drug dealing; attempting without authorization to access a computer system; pirating (distributing copyrighted material in violation of copyright law, specifically MP3s, MPEG's, ROMs, and ROM emulators); gambling; schemes to defraud; trafficking in obscene material; sending a message or having content that is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person; threatening bodily harm or damage to individuals or groups; violating U.S. export restrictions; stalking; or violating other state or federal law such as the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or the Economic Espionage Act. Linking to illegal material is also prohibited. WSWD reserves the right to check system files, email, and other data on our servers for illegal content and materials, or for any other reasons deemed necessary.

Pornography
Pornography and sex-related merchandising, or links to such material, even if legal, is not an acceptable use of WSWD’s servers. WSWD is also required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through its network.

Update 1/08: We have servers set aside strictly for users who wish to publish legal adult/pornographic material. Due to the nature of such materials and businesses, the fee structure is different for hosting on these servers. Please contact the Sales Department for further information.

Child Pornography
Child pornography of any kind is not allowed on our servers. We are required by Federal Law
to report any instances of child pornography that we find on our network. We actively monitor our servers and network traffic for illegal adult material.

WSWD will cooperate fully with any criminal investigation into a customer's violation concerning child pornograpy. Clients are ultimately responsible for their actions and the actions of their customers over the WSWD network, and will be liable for illegal material found. According to the Child Protection Act, child pornography includes photographs, films, video or any other type of visual presentation that shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity, or the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years any written material or visual representation that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the age of eighteen years. No credits will be issued for any interruption in service resulting from policy violations. Violations will be reported to the U.S. Customs Agency at icpicc@customs.treas.gov.

Abuse of WSWD’s Server Resources
Running programs in the background on a WSWD’s server without WSWD’s prior written authorization, or running chat rooms, Internet Relay Chat, IRC bots, and the like are not acceptable uses of WSWD’s servers. Further, any excessive usage or our system resources is an undue burden on our system and is unacceptable. If your usage ever exceeds our acceptable usage limits of system resources, your account may be terminated immediately and without prior notice. Usage of scripts or other utilities to direct pointed domain names to subdirectories is not permitted and is grounds for termination of the account. VPS servers do have inode limits that vary per package. The limits listed below do not apply to Dedicated Servers.

  • 25 simultaneous processes
  • 25% of CPU resources, for no greater than 90 seconds

Hacking/Cracking

The following examples of unacceptable behavior are non-exclusive, and are provided for guidance purposes. If you are unsure if your actions will be a violation of our policies please ask abuse@wswd.net

Server broadcast messages or any message sent on an intrusive basis to any directly or indirectly attached network. Attempt to circumvent any user authentication or security of host, network, or account. Accessing data not intended for user. Probing the security of any network. Spawning dozens of processes. Port scans, ping floods, packet spoofing, forging router information, Denial of Service attacks, sniffers, flooding, spoofing, ping bombing, smurfs, winnuke, land, teardrop. Promulgation of viruses. IRC bots such as eggdrop or BitchX. Any activity, whether or not the intrusion results in the corruption or loss of data, will be investigated and proper action taken. The presence of any of these programs, whether or not run, will result in action against the user including suspension or termination.

Other Unacceptable Materials
WSWD does not accept material such as:

  • Proxy, Warez, Escrow, High Yield Investment Programs (HYIP), illegal Gambling and Lottery sites. Any Rapidshare or file sharing sites, and Phishing sites are prohibited.

Language of Website Content
The primary language of all content on webpages served by WSWD shall be English. Accounts with non-English content will be terminated.

Client Responsibility
The customer is responsible for all activity originating from the account unless proven to be a victim of outside hacking or address forgery. The customer is responsible for securing their username/password. The customer assumes responsibility for all material on their site that may be put on by a third party (such as the usage of Free For All links pages). Use of WSWD's service requires a certain level of knowledge in the use of Internet languages, protocols, and software. This level of knowledge varies depending on the anticipated use and desired content of the web space by the customer. The following examples are offered: Web Publishing: requires knowledge of HTML, properly locating and linking documents, FTPing Web contents, Graphics, text, sound, image mapping, etc. FrontPage web publishing: knowledge of the FrontPage tools as well as Telnet and FTP understanding and capability. CGI-Scripts: requires a knowledge of the UNIX environment, TAR & GUNZIP commands, Perl, CShell scripts, permissions, etc. Mail: a use of mail customers to receive and send mail, etc. The customer agrees that he or she has the necessary knowledge to create and maintain their web space. Client agrees that it is not the responsibility of WSWD to provide this knowledge or support outside matter not specific to WSWD's servers.

Streaming Audio/Video
WSWD does not allow any streaming of audio or video content. (Contact sales@wswd.net for possible exceptions.)

Large File Distribution / Storage
Clients may not host any files that are observed to be available for the sole purpose of download or storage. Such files include but are not limited to .ISO, audio/video files, .EXE files, MP3 files. If you are unsure whether your file is against this policy, please e-mail sales@wswd.net

Export Control Violations
Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States is illegal. Such activity will not be tolerated on our network.

Backups
Full backups are made twice daily. No guarantees are made of any kind, either expressed or implied, as to the integrity of these backups. Backups are made for internal server restoration purposes only. It is the customer's responsibility to maintain local copies of their web content, e-mail messages, and any other information. If loss of data occurs due to an error of WSWD, WSWD will attempt to recover the data for no charge to the customer. If data loss occurs due to negligence of customer in securing their account or by an action of the customer, or if the customer simply wants his/her account restored from a backup, WSWD will attempt to recover the data from the most recent archive for a $10.00 fee. Either way, there is no guarantee that WSWD will be able to recover lost data. It is imperative that all customers backup their data regularly. To request a backup, please open a ticket with the Backup Department from within the member's area.

Accounts larger than 20GB will be excluded from the backup system, and their data will not be backed up, in either backup process.

IP Numbers
WSWD maintains control and any ownership of any and all IP numbers and addresses that may be assigned to the customer and reserves in its sole discretion the right to change or remove any and all IP numbers and addresses.

Bandwidth Usage
All account plans come with a predetermined amount of bandwidth allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill a set amount for each gigabyte of bandwidth exceeded. This amount is not prorated, meaning that 1 mb - 1 gig will be treated and billed as the same.
