System (network) abuse is strictly prohibited. One Server Hosting in its sole discretion may terminate or modify service immediately and may bill you for any resulting support charges if you or someone who uses your One Server Hosting service engages in system abuse. Following is a list of actions, which are defined to be system abuse. This list is non-exclusive; any action about which there is any doubt should be referred to Network Abuse for evaluation.
Attempting to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account on One Server Hosting systems or the Internet at large.
Engaging in harassment, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages. Using an account at another service provider to promote a One Server Hosting web site in an abusive manner.

Using One Server Hosting's system or equipment in support of activities that would, if conducted on One Server Hosting's system, violate One Server Hosting's Network Abuse Policies.

Excessive bandwidth usage; defined as using more than 75% of the maximum allowed bandwidth for more than 72 hours in any month. If a customer's use of the service is found to be excessive, One Server Hosting may, in its sole discretion, place additional restrictions on the customer's service, and suggest an upgrade of the customer's service plan.
Storing any material or content on, or disseminate any material or content over, One Server Hosting's system in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by U.S. copyright law. Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") to report alleged infringements. It is One Server Hosting's policy in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws to reserve the right to terminate service provided to any customer or user who is either found to infringe third party copyright or other intellectual property rights, or who One Server Hosting, in its sole discretion, believes is infringing these rights. One Server Hosting may terminate service at any time with or without notice for any affected customer or user.
Configuring the One Server Hosting service or any related equipment to access or use a static IP address or use any protocol other than dynamic host configuration protocol unless you have a One Server Hosting service plan that expressly permits you to do so.
Engaging in any activity which One Server Hosting believes, in its sole judgment, to be in support of spamming or bulk e-mail activities, including forwarding or posting "chain letters" (multiple forwarding) of any type.
One Server Hosting does not authorize the use of its computer network to accept, transmit or distribute unsolicited bulk e-mail sent from the Internet to its customers. One Server Hosting does not authorize the harvesting or collection of screen names from its equipment or customers for the purpose of sending unsolicited bulk e-mail. One Server Hosting reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available to prevent unsolicited bulk e-mail or other unauthorized e-mail from entering, utilizing or remaining within the One Server Hosting system. Unauthorized use of the One Server Hosting system in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail or counterfeit or misleading e-mail may result in substantial civil penalties against the sender, including those provided by the Washington Commercial Electronic Mail Act (Wash. Rev. Code Chapter 19.190 et seq.) and the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. sections 1030 et seq.).
