4. What Constitutes UNACCEPTABLE USE

Interfering with the Internet use of an individual or group
An action intended to violate the privacy or property rights of others
Activities that are illegal or dishonest
To cause any individual annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety
The following are some specific examples of unacceptable use:
Chain Letters and Pyramid-Selling Schemes
The most common example of this in e-mail is “Make Money Fast”.
Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE)
Unsolicited Commercial E-mail is advertising material received by e-mail without the recipient either requesting such information or otherwise expressing an interest in the material advertised. It should be noted that an individual who has posted information on the Internet on a particular subject has not made a specific request for information to be emailed to them.
Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE)
Similar to the above UCE but not attempting to sell anything.
Mail Bombing
Mail bombing is the sending of multiple emails, or one large email, with the intent of annoying a fellow Internet user or affecting their use of the Internet.
Mailing List Subscriptions
You must not subscribe anyone to a mail list or similar service without their permission.
Forged headers and/or Addresses
Forging headers or messages means sending data (including email) such that its origin appears to be another user or machine, or a non-existent machine. It is also forgery to arrange for any replies to mail to be sent to some other user or machine.
Denial of Service
Denial of Service is any activity designed to prevent a specific host or user on the Internet making full and effective use of their facilities. This includes, but is not limited to: mail bombing, opening an excessive number of connections to the same host, intentionally sending data designed to damage the receiver’s systems when interpreted.
Illegal Content
You must not transmit across the Internet or use a PUBLISHING FACILITY to publish any item that it is illegal to transmit or possess. This includes material that is prohibited under the various acts of parliament dealing with material sent over a public telecommunications network.
Breach of Copyright or Intellectual Property
You must not transmit or publish copyright material, unless you have permission to do so.
Commercial Articles on Usenet
The vast majority of newsgroups are of a non-commercial nature, and you should not post commercial articles to these groups.
Binary Postings to non-Binary Usenet Groups
Outside of the “alt.binaries” and “alt.pictures” newsgroup hierarchies, the posting of encoded binary data is generally prohibited.
Excessive Cross-Posting on Usenet
Simply put, this form of unacceptable behaviour occurs when the same article is cross-posted to a large number of unrelated newsgroups.
Excessive Multi-Posting on Usenet
This occurs when a substantively similar (perhaps differing only in subject header) article is posted repeatedly.
Post Cancelling
Customers are prohibited from cancelling or superseding posts other than their own, with the exception of official newsgroup moderators performing their duties.
Publishing Requirements
You must ensure that any PUBLISHING FACILITY that you utilise through Codehosts provides a clear warning before allowing access to any offensive material.
Causing Unacceptable Use
You may not advertise your information or data residing on any PUBLISHING FACILITY, or cause another person to advertise it, by techniques that would be classified as abuse if they were carried out from a Codehosts ACCOUNT. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk emailing and excessive news posting.
Unauthorised Access (“Hacking”, “Cracking”)
Customers may not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any host, network, data, or account .
Responsible Use
Customers must act as responsible Internet citizens at all times and follow all Internet usage guidelines that are generally accepted by the Internet community.
5. Other Unwelcome Activities
The above are more easily defined examples of unacceptable use.
Unacceptable Use of the Codehosts Internet services is not limited to the above, but may include any activity reported to the Codehosts Abuse team which is considered, in their opinion, to be a serious abuse of the services.
6. In the event of a breach of AUP:
Codehosts will investigate any breach of AUP. The response will range from a call/email to the customer to highlight a minor breach through to irrevocable account closure. The response will be based on Codehosts ‘s judgement as to the seriousness and intention of the breach.
Note that in the process of identifying a breach of the AUP, Codehosts may need to liase closely with other external bodies, this is sometimes necessary to fully identify the breach. If in the sole opinion of Codehosts it is deemed necessary we reserve the right to identify the customer to other separate parties.
7. Changes to the AUP
The internet is a rapidly evolving network. New facilities, practices and developments are being agreed all the time. It is critical therefore that the AUP be amended from time to time to reflect these changes. The current AUP is posted to:
codehosts.uk
It is your responsibility to check this from time to time as any changes are immediately applicable to all customers.
8. Not to use such Services in such a way which,
(a) is in breach of the laws of any jurisdiction, or the international conventions, codes or regulations applicable to the internet including but not limited to infringement of Intellectual Property Rights, defamation, theft, fraud, drug-trafficking, money-laundering and terrorism;
(b) may incite violence, sadism, cruelty or racial hatred;
(c) may facilitate prostitution or paedophilia;
(d) is pornographic, obscene, indecent, abusive, offensive or menacing; and
(e) which gives the impression that the message or posting originated from our network.
9. Free Trial Period
The free web hosting trial is free for the time started on the offer depending upon the option choosen upon trial signup. At any point during the trial period the hosting account can be cancelled with no charge by placing a support request via our web site at codehosts.uk If the account expires it’s trial period then the customer will be moved onto an account listed upon signup and billed accordingly.
