Acceptable Use Policy

Generally, stacklogic is not concerned with what you do on our network, so long as other users are not affected and no laws are broken. If we receive an abuse complaint related to your service however, it is a requirement that you immediately address the problem.

Unacceptable use includes, but is not limited to, any of the following:

1. Posting, transmission, re-transmission, or storing material on or through any of stacklogic’s products or services, if in the sole judgment of stacklogic, such posting, transmission, re-transmission or storage is in violation of any local, state, federal, or non-United States law or regulation (including rights protected by copyright, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property or similar laws or regulations). Each customer shall be responsible for determining what laws or regulations are applicable to his or her use of the products and services.

2. Installation or distribution of “pirated” or other software products that are not appropriately licensed for use by customer.

3. Deceptive marketing practices.

4. Actions that restrict or inhibit anyone – whether a customer of stacklogic or otherwise – in his or her use or enjoyment of stacklogic’s products and services, or that generate excessive network traffic through the use of automated or manual routines that are not related to ordinary personal or business use of Internet services.

5. Introduction of malicious programs into the stacklogic network or servers or other products and services of stacklogic (e.g., viruses, trojan horses and worms).

6. Causing or attempting to cause security breaches or disruptions of Internet communications. Examples of security breaches include but are not limited to accessing data of which the customer is not an intended recipient, or logging into a server or account that the customer is not expressly authorized to access. Examples of disruptions include but are not limited to port scans, flood pings, packet spoofing and forged routing information.

7. Executing any form of network monitoring that will intercept data not intended for the customer.

8. Circumventing user authentication or security of any host, network or account.

9. Interfering with or denying service to any user other than the customer’s host (e.g., denial of service attack).

10. Using any program/script/command, or sending messages of any kind, designed to interfere with, or to disable a user’s terminal session.

11. Sending unsolicited mail messages, including the sending of “junk mail” or other advertising material to individuals who did not specifically request such material, who were not previous customers of the customer or with whom the customer does not have an existing business relationship (e.g., E-mail “spam”); or distributing, advertising or promoting software or services that have the primary purpose of encouraging or facilitating unsolicited commercial E-mail or spam.

12. Harassment, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages.

13. Unauthorized use or forging of mail header information.

14. Solicitations of mail or any other E-mail address other than that of the poster’s account or service, with the intent to harass or collect replies.

15. Creating or forwarding “chain letters” or other “pyramid schemes” of any type.

16. Exporting, re-exporting, or permitting downloads of any content in violation of the export or import laws of the United States or without all required approvals, licenses and exemptions.

No failure or delay in exercising or enforcing this policy shall constitute a waiver of the policy or of any other right or remedy. If any provision of this policy is deemed unenforceable due to law or change in law, such a provision shall be disregarded and the balance of the policy shall remain in effect.

Abusable Resources Upon notification of the existence of an abusable resource (e.g., open news server, unsecured mail relay, or smurf amplifier), the customer shall immediately take all necessary steps to avoid any further abuse of such resource. Any abuse of an open resource that occurs after the customer has received such notification shall be considered a violation of this policy and enforced as such.
