Acceptable Use Policy
This Acceptable Use Policy specifies the actions prohibited by SIMPLECOM to users of the
SIMPLECOM Network. SIMPLECOM reserves
the right to modify the Policy at any time, effective upon posting of the
modified Policy to this URL: http://www.simplecom.net/pages/tos.htm/.
Domain names must be paid in advance. We may register your domain name on
your behalf with the credit card that you provide on our order form.
Domain Name Systems will
charge you $15 per year for your domain. Protect your domain name! Your
domain has to be renewed each year before it expires. We may have registered
your domain name for you, on your behalf, but the name belongs to you.
Therefore, you will get an email stating that it is about to expire. If you
don't get this email, please contact us so we can help you renew your domain
before the year is up. We don't own your domain name so we cannot be held
liable if you fail to renew it. You can check the status of your domain name
here:

network security violations include, without limitation, the following:

express permission of the site.
USENET.

explicitly prohibited.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED
VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON BEHALF OF A SIMPLECOM CUSTOMER OR A

CUSTOMER OR END USER.
Complaints regarding illegal use of system or network security issues, email
abuse, or USENET abuse or SPAM should be sent to abuse@simplecom.net
This Acceptable Use Policy has been derived from our backbone provider's
policy, since their policy is our policy.
This Policy is to protect the common use of the Internet system to
promote the Internet's health and operation. Our customers can rest
assured their resources are protected and their service will be protected
from said offenders.
SIMPLECOM reserves the right to refuse service to whom we choose.
Any abusive site, being bandwidth, CPU usage, SPAM, or any other activity
that sacrifices our service capabilities will be dealt with on a case by
case basis.
No warranties are implied of any kind, written or suggested. Each
customer has a 30 day money back guarantee and no written contracts, thereby
each customer is month to month unless otherwise signed by both parties
involved.
