Breaking rules will result in service suspension/termination! ( updated: 09.10.2019 )
INTRODUCTION
By using Pielayer ("Pielayer", "our", "us" or "we") products and services, you ("you", "your", "Client" or "Customer") agree to comply with our policies.
WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY FOR THE DATA AND CONTENT TRANSMITTED THROUGH OR TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY STORED ON OUR NETWORK OR ANY SERVER AND FOR THE ACTIONS OR OMISSION OF USERS.
INTERPRETATION
The provisions of this AUP are intended as guidelines and are not meant to be exhaustive. Generally, conduct that violates law, regulation, or the accepted norms of the Internet community, whether or not expressly mentioned in this AUP, are prohibited. We reserve the right at all times to prohibit activities that damage our or our affiliates’ commercial reputation and goodwill. We will be the sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of our policies.
ILLEGAL USE
Our products and services may be used only for lawful purposes. Transmission of, distribution of, storage of, or linking to any material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization, and material that is defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, violates export control laws, or is otherwise prohibited by US law.
SPAM POLICY
All users must comply with all relevant legislation and regulations on bulk and commercial e-mail, including but not limited to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Users may not send mass unsolicited e-mail, which is email that is sent to recipients who have not "opted-in" to mailings from the user. Users who send mass mailings must maintain complete and accurate records of all consents and opt-ins and provide such records to Pielayer upon its request. If a user cannot provide positive and verifiable proof of such consents and opt-ins, we will consider the mass mailing to be unsolicited. Users are prohibited from operating mailing lists, listservs, or mailing services that do not target an audience that has voluntarily signed up for e-mail information using an "opt-in" process or that has made their e-mail addresses available to a user for distribution of information. Users who operate mailing lists must maintain complete and accurate records of all consents and "opt-in" elections and provide such records to Pielayer upon its request. If a user cannot provide positive and verifiable proof of such consents and "opt-in" elections, we will consider the list mailing to be unsolicited. Any user-maintained mailing list must also allow any party on the list to remove itself automatically and permanently. Other prohibited activities include, without limitation, the following:
* use of our network for the receipt of replies to unsolicited mass e-mail;
* forgery of e-mail headers (spoofing);
* spamming via third-party proxy, aggregation of proxy lists, or installation of proxy mailing software;
* configuration of a mail server to accept and process third-party messages for sending without user identification and authentication;
* hosting web pages advertised within "spam e-mail" sent from another network (spamvertising);
* hosting web pages or providing services that support spam;
* any other unsolicited bulk messages, postings, or transmissions through media such as weblog posts, IRC/chat room messages, guestbook entries, HTTP referrer log entries, usenet posts, pop-up messages, instant messages, or SMS messages; and
* instructing others in any activity prohibited by this AUP.
If, as a result of your actions, our mail servers or IP address ranges are placed on black hole lists or other mail filtering software systems, your server may be suspended and possibly terminated upon review. If we deem your account at risk for repeated AUP infractions, we may suspend and/or terminate all servers on it.
HARDWARE RESOURCE USAGE
As in all VPS environments, CPU cores and disk I/O are shared among multiple VPSs. If your VPS is consistently maxing out one full core or more and impacting the performance of other client servers sharing the same host node, we may ask you to reduce your usage. Load may be generated by CPU usage and/or I/O. Disruptive load may result in a reboot, shutdown, and/or suspension of the VPS regardless of the time lapse involved.
Our shared hosting product is not a replacement for a CDN. If you are found hosting files that use a larger portion of storage and/or bandwidth than what is considered typical for a shared hosting environment, we may ask you to reduce your usage or upgrade to a virtual server. Excessive bandwidth usage due to website abuse or bruteforce attacks may result in suspension of services. ffmpeg, its alternatives, and mass video streaming websites are not allowed on our shared hosting.
PROHIBITED USES
The following are strictly prohibited uses and may result in immediate suspension and/or termination if discovered on your account: Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, port scanning, botnets, TOR exit nodes, open proxies, open DNS resolvers, hola, illegal downloads/Piracy, Kloxo, video chat (e.g., CamFrog, Visichat), virtual currency (*coin) mining, hentaiAtHome, facebook crawlers, IP spoofing, fake/Replica product websites, phishing, World Community Grid, folding at Home, or similar software, prime95, crystalMines, HYIP websites, Booter/Stresser websites, HitLeap or any artificial traffic creation, iBusinessPromoter or similar software, Multics, CCcam, or any other card sharing software, Chinese private game servers and related websites
We do not allow port scanning or UDP floods to be sent from our network. Accounts sending floods, port scanning, and/or creating artificial traffic will be suspended and/or terminated. If your server is found to be degrading the connection speed of other servers, you will be notified via ticket and asked to reduce your usage.
The following are acceptable uses provided they comply with the rest of this AUP: IRC, source games, Minecraft servers, VPN, Video streaming, Torrents ( must be limited to 10Mbps total). Any usage which results in any attacks against Pielayer (not just the client’s server) may result in suspension and/or termination.
AUP VIOLATION
Failure to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy will result in service suspension and possibly termination with no refund. Any activity not mentioned above but which is considered illegal in the United States of America or European Union will result in immediate termination.
