At 4 Your Web.NET (4YW), we value our customers and wish to
provide them with a positive experience. To offer you the best
service possible, all customers need to follow the same rules
and guidelines. These policies are intended to make 4YW's
Service available to all our customers as consistently and
efficiently as possible.
User-Supplied Content
All services may be used for lawful purposes only. Through 4YW's
Service, you may have access to chat areas, bulletin boards, web
pages, email, or other services that enable you to send or post
materials ("content") and make that content available
to others. You must not submit, publish, or display on the
Network any defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, obscene,
infringing, or threatening content. In addition, you may not
submit, publish, or display any content that violates any US
Federal, State, or Local law. You are solely responsible for the
content you make accessible through the 4YW Network. You may not
use the Service to assist any other person or entity to violate
any Federal, State, or Local laws, ordinances, or regulations.
4YW is not obligated to monitor the network to examine
available content. You hereby acknowledge that if we are made
aware of content that is determined to be, in its sole
discretion, unacceptable, undesirable, offensive, indecent,
obscene, excessively violent or otherwise objectionable, 4YW has
the right, but not the obligation, to edit, remove or deny
access to such content. 4YW may disclose any content or records
concerning customer's account as required to satisfy any law,
regulation, governmental request or court order.
Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on
all 4YW servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual
content, display nudity, or link to adult content elsewhere.
This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or
content that may be damaging to 4YW's servers or any other
server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also
prohibited. In addition, any site selling or promoting bulk
email service is not allowed. Below are some examples of
non-acceptable content or links:
- Adult Sites - Any erotic or pornographic material, links
to adult sites, or advertisements for adult sites.
- Pirated Software (Warez) - Any software that is
copyrighted and not freely available for distribution
without cost; i.e. ROMs, ROM Emulators and MPEG Layer 3
files (MP3).
- Copyright Violations - Violation of copyrights held by
individuals and corporations or other entities can result in
civil and criminal liability for the infringer.
- Hacking/Phreaking - Includes sites with material, links,
or resources for hacking, phreaking, viruses, anarchy, or
any type of site that promotes or participates in willful
harm to Internet sites or providers.
Network Security
Customers may not use the 4YW Network with an attempt to
circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network,
or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data
not intended for the customer, logging into a server or account
the customer is not expressly authorized to access, password
cracking, probing the security of other networks in search of
weakness, or violation of any other organization's security
policy. Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service
to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited
to, flooding, mail bombing, or other deliberate attempts to
overload or crash a host or network. 4YW will cooperate fully
with investigations of violations of systems or network security
at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement
authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal
violations. Users who violate system or network security may
incur criminal or civil liability.
CGI Scripts
Each 4YW account comes fully equipped with its own
pre-configured CGI-Bin. Customers are free to use any
CGI-scripts provided with their account or add any additional
ones they require. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely
affecting the server performance or the network integrity may be
shut down without prior notice. CGI-script sharing with domains
not hosted by 4YW is not allowed.
Chat Rooms
4YW prohibits its customers from installing outside chat rooms
on their domain, as these tend to be a resource problem. 4YW
does provide its customers a choice of Java chat rooms to choose
from for a nominal monthly charge. These chat rooms were
designed to meet the growing needs of customers and function
without hindering the performance of the servers for others.
Server Resources
Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such
as, but not limited to CPU time, memory usage, and network
resources) will be given an option of either upgrading their
service level or reducing the resource used to an acceptable
level.
Background Running Programs
Background daemons in general are prohibited. 4YW will consider
requests on a per-application basis. If allowed, extra charges
will be assessed based on resource requirements for system
maintenance.
IRC
4YW currently prohibits its customers from operating IRC or IRC
Bots on any of the servers in the 4YW Network.
Commercial Advertising/ Mass Mailings
You must not use the 4YW Network, 4YW equipment or any 4YW email
address in connection with the transmission of spam, flames,
mail bombs, or substantially similar, unsolicited email
messages. Your domain may not be referenced as originator,
intermediary, or reply-to address in any of the above. This
prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings
from another service that in any way implicates the use of the 4YW
Network, 4YW equipment or any 4YW email address. A message is
considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a
newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not
requested or invited the message. For purposes of this
provision, merely making one's email address accessible to the
public will not constitute a request or invitation to receive
messages.
If you are found to have spammed, without warning, 4YW
reserves the right to disable your domain. In addition, 4YW may
impose a $100 penalty for each spam policy violation. 4YW solely
reserves the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers.
Lastly, 4YW reserves the right to determine what violates this
policy. As such, any violation may result in cancellation of
services without refund.
Distribution and/or Transmission of Obscene or Indecent
Speech or Materials
Violation of indecency and obscenity laws can result in criminal
penalties.
Intellectual Property Rights
Material accessible to you through 4YW's Services may be subject
to protection under the United States or other copyright laws,
or laws protecting trademarks, trade secrets or proprietary
information. Except when expressly permitted by the owner of
such rights, you must not use the 4YW Service in a manner that
would infringe, violate, dilute or misappropriate any such
rights, with respect to any material, which you access or
receive through the 4YW Network. If you use a domain name in
connection with the 4YW Service or similar service, you must not
use that domain name in violation of any trademark, service
mark, or similar rights of any third party.
Defamation
Defamatory speech distributed over the Internet can result in
civil liability for the defamer.
Refusal of Service
4YW reserves the right at its sole discretion to refuse or
cancel service. Violation of any of 4YW's Rules and Regulations
could result in a warning, suspension, or possible account
termination. Accounts terminated due to policy violations will
not be refunded.
Service Cancellation
To authenticate a cancellation request, you must fill out the
Online Cancellation Form. If this is not possible, you may fax
the notice to 407-328-0048 or mail the cancellation notice to 4YW
4185 West Lake Mary Blvd., Lake Mary, Florida 32746-106. You
must include your account email address, account name, account
password and the domain on which you want to cancel the hosting.
We cannot accept cancellation requests over the phone for
security reasons.
Indemnification
Customer agrees that it will protect, indemnify, save and hold 4YW
harmless from any and all stipulations, liabilities, losses,
expenses and claims, as well as reasonable attorney's fees
assessed against 4YW, its agents, customers, officers, employees
and administration that may arise or result from any service
provided or performed or agreed to be performed or any product
sold by it's customers, agents, employees or assigns. Customer
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold 4YW harmless against
liabilities arising out of; (1) any injury to person or property
caused by any products sold or distributed in association with 4YW's
Services; (2) any material furnished by customer infringing or
allegedly infringing on the proprietary rights of a third party;
(3) copyright violation and any defective products sold to a
customer from 4YW's Services.
Disclaimer
4YW will not be responsible for any damages your business may
suffer. 4YW makes no warranties of any kind, expressed or
implied for services we provide. 4YW disclaims any warranty or
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This
includes loss of data resulting from delays, non-deliveries,
wrong delivery, and any and all service interruptions caused by 4YW
and its employees. 4YW reserves the right to amend or update
these policies without notice. Failure to follow any terms and
conditions may result in account deactivation.
4YW furthermore expects that its customers who provide
Internet services to others will fully comply with all
applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications.
A customer's failure to comply with those laws will violate this
policy. Finally, 4YW wishes to emphasize that in accepting
services, customers indemnify 4YW for the violation of any law
or 4YW policy, that results in loss to 4YW or the bringing of
any claim against 4YW. This means that if 4YW is sued because of
activities of the customer that violate any law, or this policy,
the customer will pay any damages awarded against 4YW, plus
costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
