Acceptable Use Policy
From
time to time DomainRedirect may impose reasonable rules and regulations
regarding the use of its services. Such rules and regulations are called
Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) and are posted on the Internet at http://www.domainredirect.com/legal/
The AUPs are not exhaustive and DomainRedirect reserves the right to modify
the AUPs at any time.
By
registering for and using the services, and thereby accepting the terms
and conditions of the Master Services Agreement or its equivalent, you
agree to abide by the AUPs as modified from time to time. Any violation
of the AUPs may result in the suspension or termination of your account
or such other action as DomainRedirect deems appropriate. An unlisted activity
may also be a violation of the AUPs if it is illegal, irresponsible,
or disruptive use of the Internet. No credits will be issued for any
interruption in service resulting from policy violations.
VIOLATION
OF ANY AUP IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND MAY RESULT IN THE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION
OR SUSPENSION OF THE SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM DOMAINREDIRECT. YOU SHALL
REMAIN SOLELY LIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND
ANY AND ALL CONTENT THAT YOU DISPLAY, UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD OR TRANSMIT THROUGH
THE USE OF THE SERVICES. "CONTENT" INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
YOUR E-MAIL, WEB PAGES, PERSONAL HOME PAGES, AND DOMAIN NAMES. IT IS
DOMAINREDIRECT'S POLICY TO TERMINATE REPEAT INFRINGERS. DOMAINREDIRCT RESERVES
THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE AT ANY TIME.
Customer Security Responsibilities
The
customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting
servers/accounts under customer control. If a customer's server/account
is involved in an attack on another server or system, it will be shut
down/suspended and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine
the cause/source of the attack. In such event, the customer is responsible
for the cost to rectify any damage done to the customer's server and
any other requirement affected by the security breach.
Violations
of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal
and civil liability. DomainRedirect may investigate incidents involving
such violations and may involve and will cooperate with law enforcement
if a criminal violation is suspected. Examples of system or network
security violations include, without limitation, the following:
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 without express authorization
of the owner of the system or network.
Unauthorized
monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system without express
authorization of the owner of the system or network.
Interference
with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation,
mailbombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and
broadcast attacks.
Forging
of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in
an e-mail or a newsgroup posting.
Violators
of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of
labor to clean up and correct any damage done to the operation of the
network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond
to complaints incurred by DomainRedirect. Such labor is categorized as emergency
security breach recovery and is currently charged at Rs 1000/- per hour
required. DomainRedirect is concerned with the privacy of online communications
and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure
than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice
telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised.
As a matter of prudence, however, DomainRedirect urges its customers to
assume that all of their online communications are insecure. DomainRedirect
cannot take responsibility for the security of information transmitted
over DomainRedirect's facilities.
Password Protection
The
customer is responsible for protecting customer's password and for any
authorized or unauthorized use made of customer's password. The customer
will not use or permit anyone to use DomainRedirect's service to guess passwords
or to access other systems or networks without authorization. DomainRedirect
will fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities in the detection
and prosecution of illegal activity.
Internet Etiquette
The
customer is expected to be familiar with and to practice good Internet
etiquette (Netiquette). The customer will comply with the rules appropriate
to any network to which DomainRedirect may provide access. The customer
should not post, transmit, or permit Internet access to information
the customer desires to keep confidential. The customer is not permitted
to post any material that is illegal, libelous, tortuous, indecently
depicts children or is likely to result in retaliation against DomainRedirect
by offended users. DomainRedirect reserves the right to refuse or terminate
service at any time for violation of this section. This includes advertising
services or sites via IRC or USENET in clear violation of the policies
of the IRC channel or USENET group.

Making
unauthorized copies of software is a violation of the law, no matter
how many copies you are making. If you copy, distribute or install the

federal copyright law. If caught with pirated software, you or your

in any way references a document, image, or Web site that resides on
the DomainRedirect network or in one of our data centers. Violations of this
type may result in the termination of the offending DomainRedirect account.
Our customers are ultimately responsible for any violations of the AUP
by their clients, and any violation of the AUP by a client of a DomainRedirect

the offending domain(s), server(s), or user(s) immediately removed from
our network. In addition, if DomainRedirect in its sole discretion determines
that a customer is in violation of our AUP, DomainRedirect may, at its sole

only after the customer agrees to cease all activities that violate
the DomainRedirect AUP and pays all applicable reconnect fees and related
charges. Any server suspended a second time for AUP violations WILL
be immediately and permanently removed from our network.
Customers
that DomainRedirect determines in its sole discretion to be in violation

be disconnected from the Internet, but the customer will still be responsible
