User-Supplied Content
All services may be used for lawful purposes only. Through Hoosiernetwork'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 Hoosiernetwork system. You may not use the Service to assist any other person or entity to violate any Federal, State, or Local laws, ordinances, or regulations.

Hoosiernetwork 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, Hoosiernetwork has the right, but not the obligation, to edit, remove or deny access to such content. Hoosiernetwork 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 Hossiernetwork 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 Hoosiernetwork'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 Hoosiernetwork system 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. Hoosiernetwork 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 Hoosiernetwork 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 Hoosiernetwork is not allowed.

Chat Rooms
Hoosiernetwork prohibits its customers from installing outside chat rooms on their domain, as these tend to be a resource problem. Hoosiernetwork does provide its customers a choice of 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. Hoosiernetwork will consider requests on a per-application basis. If allowed, extra charges will be assessed based on resource requirements for system maintenance.

IRC
Hoosiernetwork currently prohibits its customers from operating IRC or IRC Bots on any of the servers in the Hoosiernetwork system.

Commercial Advertising/ Mass Mailings
You must not use the Hoosiernetwork system, Hoosiernetwork equipment or any Hoosiernetwork 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 mailings from another service that in any way implicates the use of the Hoosiernetwork systems, Hoosiernetwork equipment or any Hoosiernetwork 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, Hoosiernetwork reserves the right to disable your domain. In addition, Hoosiernetwork may impose a $100 penalty for each spam policy violation. Hoosiernetwork solely reserves the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers. Lastly, Hoosiernetwork reserves the right to determine what violates this policy. As such, any violation may result in cancellation of services without refund.

Violation of indecency and obscenity laws can result in criminal penalties.

Except when expressly permitted by the owner of such rights, you must not use the Hoosiernetwork 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 Hoosiernetwork system.
