 EZ-ON WEB provides web hosting to numerous clients which means that we have a responsibility to protect each client and to provide the best services available. The following guidelines were established to ensure these crucial obligations are met.
We do not care what your content is as we are not judges in what is right or wrong. Meaning we do not judge a customer by his/her beliefs as long as they are legal and the content online is legal and you follow our user agreement. These Policies, Guidelines, and Disclaimer are intended for all domains residing on EZ-ON WEBs servers, including regular hosting clients. UNACCEPTABLE ACTIVITIES: These 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 EZ-ON WEB 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 (20% or more 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@ez-onweb.com. We also do not allow sites selling spamware. Age: The client must be 18 years of age to obtain our service or send a letter from parents to info@ez-onweb.com giving permission. 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. EZ-ON WEB 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, EZ-ON WEB will not substitute itself for a court of law in deciding tort claims raised by the third party.
