Customers will violate this Policy when they or their affiliates engage in any of the following activities:

Adult Content

Adult content including, but not limited to, Adult Web Sites, Adult Picture Galleries Adult File Sharing Services is not permitted in any way.

SPAM or Unsolicited Commercial Email

Enbecom has zero tolerance for the sending of SPAM or Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) over our network. Enbecom Customers cannot send UCE and cannot host sites or information advertised in UCE. Customers are also responsible for the actions of their clients and must take all reasonable precautions to secure their servers and sites against SPAM exploits (e.g. open email relays and insecure cgi scripts).

Violating our UCE or SPAM policy will result in penalties. Upon detection or notification of a violation of our UCE policy, Enbecom will initiate an immediate investigation. During this time, outgoing mail may be suspended from the offending IP address to prevent further violations. If a client is found to be in violation of our UCE policy, Enbecom will impose penalties and/or, at its discretion, restrict or terminate the offending account and the Customer's access to our network. Repeated or serious violations may result in the immediate termination of the account. SPAM is a very serious matter. PLEASE DO NOT SPAM. EDUCATE YOUR CLIENTS and TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS against SPAM EXPLOITS.

Some of our Virtual Server products block outbound SMTP access (amongst another ports).  Any attempt to access SMTP or other blocked ports using these servers will result in immediate termination of the customer's server product.

Enbecom Administrative Login and Management Software

To facilitate network/server management, inventory and related activities, some Enbecom Servers include an administrative account and password and/or a daemon for Enbecom and/or its suppliers. All reasonable precautions are taken by Enbecom and its suppliers to maintain the security of these tools and the privacy of client data. Customers must not tamper, hinder, delete, or in any way change the functioning of these tools. To do so intentionally or otherwise is grounds for the immediate suspension of Customer's services.

Fair usage of shared, burstable resources

For some shared resources we require that customers do not continuously use an unreasonable excess of those resources (using them in a burstable fashion is, of course, entirely acceptable). Examples of an excess might include running software that uses all available CPU constantly or continuously using many times the base-allocation of unmetered bandwidth. In such circumstances we reserve the right, at our discretion, to request that the client cease such activities or be forcibly upgraded to a more suitable package or, in the case of excess use of unmetered bandwidth, be moved to a metered bandwidth connection.

Account Cancellation

This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is not exhaustive. Enbecom has the right to refuse service to anyone at any time WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds of fees paid will be made if account termination is due to a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy as outlined above.
