As a customer you agree to comply with the following Terms Of Service when signing up for service.

Unacceptable Use

Rose Web Services L.L.C.'s servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data, or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material; trademarks; trade secrets or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Examples of unacceptable content or links include: pirated software or media, hacking programs or archives, Warez sites, copyrighted MP3, any IRC related software, Game Servers, public Proxy Servers, etc...

Unacceptable Content

Due to the special system and network requirements of adult-oriented sites, pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited. This includes sites that may infer sexual content or provide links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites. Other unacceptable content includes but is not limited to: sites promoting or discussing any domestic or international extremist political issues (terrorist, nazi, neo-nazi, anarchy, etc...), sites operating mainly as downloading gateways for illegal software or media, IRC related sites, sites promoting or offering warez, pirating, hacking or spamming software, media or other resources, sites containing disturbing, defamatory or offending pictures or other media, and any other site and/or content deemed to be unacceptable by Rose Web Services L.L.C. Any other web sites that link to ones with unacceptable content will also be treated as unacceptable.

Security

Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include but are not limited to the following: unauthorized access, use, probing, or scanning of systems' security or authentication measures, data, or traffic; interference with service of any user, host, or network including, without limitation, sniffing, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system, broadcast attacks; forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information of an email or a newsgroup posting.

IP Ownership

If we assign a Customer an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to us, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by us at our sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. We shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by us, and we reserve the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in our sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's allocation policies.

Server Resources

Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, I/O bus usage and network resources) will be given the option to either pay additional fees (which will depend on the resources required), reduce the resources used to an acceptable level, or upgrade its service to a higher Virtual Server plan or a Dedicated Server plan.

If you are planning to run high-volume (1000's of emails per day) mailing lists or similar, you have to let us know in advance and make special arrangements because the regular shared and virtual server hosting accounts are not suitable for such activities.

Any web hosting account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down with prior notice.

CGI Scripts

CGI script sharing with domains not hosted by Rose Web Services L.L.C. is not permitted. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be removed without notice. Additionally, we urge you to use PHP instead of Perl wherever possible, to reduce resource utilization.

IRC

Rose Web Services L.L.C. does not allow IRC servers, IRC bots and/or any IRC related software to be operated on our servers.

UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) - SPAM

Spamming, the sending of unsolicited mass email from or through a Rose Web Services L.L.C. owned server or using an email address that is maintained on a Rose Web Services L.L.C. server is STRICTLY prohibited and will qualify your account for immediate cancellation without refund. Customers are also in violation of this provision if they engage in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP, but channel activities through a Rose Web Services L.L.C. server as a mail drop for responses. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of $.50 per email sent and a $500 per incident and will face immediate account termination.
