Terms of Service
Givemeasteal Hosting provides web hosting to people all
around the world. We have the responsibility to protect each
client and provide them with the best services available. The
following guidelines were designed to insure these services.
Activities Subject to Immediate Deactivation:
Any Hosting Account that is used for Illegal, Abusive or
Unethical Activity may be immediately deactivated by us
without warning to you. Any misuse or overuse of the server
will result in immediate deactivation of an account. Illegal,
Abusive or Unethical Activities include, but are not limited
to inclusion of or linking to, pornography, obscenity, nudity,
violations of privacy, cracking (hacking), irc related scripts
and programs, non approved server scripts, eggdrops, computer
virus, and any harassing or harmful materials or uses, as
determined by us. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless
from any claim resulting from your publications or use of
Illegal, Abusive or Unethical materials. Although we will make
reasonable efforts to alert you to such activities and allow
you an opportunity to cure them within a 12-hour period after
discovery, we are not required to give notice before
deactivating your use of our services if, in our discretion,
your use is or results in Illegal, Abusive or Unethical
activities. If a Hosting Account is disabled, the regular
monthly fees still apply. Givemeasteal Hosting reserves the
right to Cancel/Deactivate any account at any time for any
reason.
Examples of non-acceptable content or links:
- Pirated software
- Crackers (Hackers) programs or archives

Givemeasteal
Hosting will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision.
Givemeasteal
Hosting servers are not to be used for the purpose of hosting
scripts or images for data collection or any other purpose to
reduce the load on another web host, or for any other reason.
Servers are not to be used for the hosting or serving of file
downloads. Any site with traffic or disk usage consisting more
than 33% of file downloads (non html traffic) may be
suspended. Customers are not permitted to run scripts on their
account with us, to monitor connections and status's of other
servers (gaming servers for example). Customers are not
permitted to get multiple accounts with Givemeasteal Hosting,
for the purpose of getting extra bandwidth only, to avoid
bandwidth overage charges. Givemeasteal Hosting can and will
terminate accounts of people using our servers not to host
their domain but only scripts or file downloads.
Public
Nature of Internet:
Please
understand that all information submitted on the Hosting
Account shall be considered publicly accessible. Important and
private information should be protected/backed up by you. For
example, we are not liable for protection or privacy of
electronic mail or other information transferred through the
Internet or any other network provider that you may use.
Chat Rooms:
We do not allow clients to install their own CGI chat rooms.
These tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as a
account option. We do provide a choice of JAVA chat rooms free
of charge that more than fill your needs and run without
hindering the performance of the machine for others.
Background running programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background,
these are considered on a one to one basis and a extra charge
will be incurred based on system resources used and
operational maintenance needed.
IRC:
We do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail:
You are expressly prohibited from sending unsolicited
commercial bulk mail messages ("junk mail" or "spam").
This includes, but is not limited to, bulk-mailing of
commercial advertising, information announcements, and
political tracts. Such material may only be sent to those who
have specifically requested it. Malicious or threatening email
is also prohibited. We reserve the right to immediately
deactivate your use of our service if we discover such
activity. Further, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless
from any claim resulting from your use or distribution of
electronic mail services through the service provided through
this Agreement. Anyone using our services for spamming will be
immediately subject to a $350 cleanup/network abuse fee.
Server abuse:
Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a Givemeasteal

the server's resources. In the event your scripts are
causing a load problem the script or your entire account my be
suspended with out notice in order to get the load problem
under control.
