Unlimited Bandwidth Hosting

1. Wyenet reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all services provided by Wyenet, where Wyenet decides that the account has been inappropriately used. Wyenet reserves the right to refuse service and/or access to its servers to anyone.
2. Wyenet offer unlimited web space and bandwidth with some account types. By this, we mean unlimited space for legitimate web site content and bandwidth for visitors to view it. All files on a domain must be part of the active website and linked to the site. Sites should not contain any backups, downloads, or other non-web based content.
3. Scripts on the site must be designed to produce web-based content, and not to use the server as an application server. Using the server to generate large volumes of email from a database is an example of activity that is not allowed. Scripts should not attempt to manipulate the timeouts on servers. These are set at the present values to ensure the reliability of the server. Sites that reset these do so because they are resource intensive, and adversely affect server performance and are therefore not allowed. Scripts that are designed to provide proxy services, anonymous or otherwise, are not allowed.
4. Wyenet will disable any domain that fails to adhere to the following criteria as soon as we are made aware, in line with current working practices:

   a. The primary purpose of any site must be to provide web-based content to viewers. Files on the site must be linked to the web site.

   b. The primary purpose of any script must be to produce a web page. Scripts that send a single email based upon user entered information, or update a database are acceptable. Scripts that send bulk email or perform processor intensive database processes are not allowed. All outgoing mail is monitored and must be sent to or from a Wyenet hosted domain.

   c. Sites must not contain Warez, copyright or other illegal material. The onus is on you the customer to prove that you own the rights to publish material, not for Wyenet to prove that you do not.

   d. Sites must not contain pornographic or other lewd material. Adult Material includes all pornography, erotic images, or otherwise lewd or obscene content. The designation of "adult material" is left entirely to the discretion of Wyenet.

   e. Sites must not use excessive amounts of server resources. These include bandwidth, processor utilization and / or disk space.

   f. Sites must not contain scripts that attempt to access privileged server resources, or other sites on the same server.

a. Initiating or propagating ‘chain’ email or ‘pyramid’ emails
b. Sending bulk or unsolicited emails, especially of a commercial nature

2. The customer must not email a person after they have specifically requested that you do not mail them. This applies to any automated mail system you employ.
3. The customer must not send email or post articles with headers modified in such a way as to disguise the true source of such mail or article.
4. The customer must not post articles of a commercial nature to groups that are inappropriate to the subject of the article.  This covers ‘spamming’.

2. Following suspension of a customer’s account, the customer must send a conciliatory letter to Wyenet undertaking not to breach this Policy on a subsequent occasion before the account will be reinstated.
