This AUP is incorporated by reference in your Web Hosting Agreement with Incipio, Inc. and your service may be suspended or terminated for violation of this AUP in accordance with the Web Hosting Services Agreement. You are responsible for violations of this policy by you or anyone using your service, whether authorized by you or not.

Inquiries regarding this policy should be directed to support@incipio.ws.

Internet Abuse
You may not use Incipio's network to engage in illegal, abusive, or irresponsible behavior, including:

• Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures (including those belonging to Incipio and its customers) without express authorization of the owner of the system or network;
• monitoring data or traffic on any network or system without the authorization of the owner of the system or network;
• Interference with service to any user of the Incipio or other network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks;
• Use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization, including, but not limited to Internet scamming (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning, and port scanning;
• Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an e-mail or a newsgroup posting; or
• Any conduct that is likely to result in retaliation against the Incipio network or website, or Incipio's employees, officers or other agents, including engaging in behavior that results in any server being the target of a denial of service attack (DoS).

Security
You must take reasonable security precautions in light of your use of Incipio services. You are solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting the servers under your control. You must protect the confidentiality of your password(s), and you should change your password(s) periodically.

A compromised server is potentially disruptive to Incipio's network and other customers. Therefore Incipio may take your server off line if it is accessed or manipulated by third party without your consent.

Bulk or Commercial E-Mail
You must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and other laws and regulations applicable to bulk or commercial e-mail. In addition, you must obtain Incipio's advance approval for any bulk commercial e-mail, which will not be given unless you are able to demonstrate all of the following to Incipio's reasonable satisfaction:

• Your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail via some affirmative means, such as an opt-in procedure;
• Your procedures for soliciting consent include reasonable means to ensure that the person giving consent is the owner of the e-mail address for which the consent is given;
• You retain evidence of the recipient's consent in a form that may be promptly produced on request, and you honor recipient's and Incipio's requests to produce consent evidence within 72 hours of receipt of the request.
• The body of the e-mail must describe how the e-mail address was obtained, for example, "You opted in to receive this e-mail promotion from our Web site or from one of our partner sites," and information on how to request evidence of the consent, for example, "If you would like to learn more about how we received your e-mail address please contact us at abuse@yourdomain.com."
• You have procedures in place that allow a recipient to easily revoke their consent - such as a link in the body of the e-mail, or instructions to reply with the word "Remove" in the subject line. Revocations of consent are honored within 72 hours, and you notify recipients that their revocation of their consent will be honored in 72 hours;
• You must post an abuse@yourdoman.com e-mail address on the first page of any Web site associated with the e-mail, you must register that address at abuse.net, and you must promptly respond to messages sent to that address;
• You must have a Privacy Policy posted for each domain associated with the mailing;
• You have the means to track anonymous complaints; and
• You may not obscure the source of your e-mail in any manner. Your e-mail must include the recipients e-mail address in the body of the message or in the "TO" line of the e-mail.
  

These policies apply to messages sent using your Incipio service, or to messages sent from any network by you or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site hosted via your Incipio service. In addition, you may not use a third party e-mail service that does not practice similar procedures for all its customers.

Incipio may test and otherwise monitor your compliance with its requirements, including requesting opt-in information from a random sample of your list at any time.

Newsgroup, Chat Forums, Other Networks
You must comply with the rules and conventions for postings to any bulletin board, chat group or other forum in which you participate, such as IRC and USENET groups including their rules for content and commercial postings. These groups usually prohibit the posting of off-topic commercial messages, or mass postings to multiple forums.

You must comply with the rules of any other network you access or participate in using your Incipio services.
