Our Terms of Service exist for the collective benefit of all of our clients. We have implemented
these rules as a measure to protect us from unwanted activities and in order to provide
our clients with the most reliable and best overall hosting services and features possible. We
ask that as a client for you to please respect and follow our Terms of Service.
We do not have the resources to police thousands of websites 24 hours a day, but if we do find
that your website is in violation of our terms of service, we reserve the right to terminate
your account without notice at our discretion. Clients who follow our simple policies will
never encounter any problems with their service.
If after reading through our Terms of Service you need clarification on any part of
the terms, please feel free to e-mail us at
support@chicago-construction.net so we can clear-up any questions you have.
Prohibited Content/Use
- Websites which have Adult Material of any sort, including links to adult websites are strictly prohibited.
We define "adult material" as pornography, nudity and sex-related merchandising.
- MP3 files are strictly forbidden from our servers. There are no exceptions made to
this rule as it exists to protect ourselves from any copyright infringement problems.
- Websites promoting illegal activities, including, but not limited to, warez, hacking,
serial numbers, cracks, or information which violates any local, state, federal, or U.S.
export restriction laws.
- Any processes executed which run in the background from the command line, including IRC
Bots.
- Because of increased controversy surrounding Emulators/Roms, we do not allow any websites
pertaining to Emulators/Roms. These issues usually have to do with copyright violations
and we prohibit any websites distributing Emulators or Roms.
- Websites whose primary purpose is file distribution or mirroring another website.
- Links to adult websites, MP3 sites, warez sites, or hacking websites.
- Sending unsolicited e-mail, or "spam" through our mail servers. This includes promoting a
website hosted with us through unsolicited e-mail, regardless of whether or not the unsolicited
e-mail is sent through our mail servers or not.
Websites found in violation of this policy are subject account termination without notice.
Materials distributed on your website cannot infringe upon another groups copyrights. This
especially includes distributing copyright software, or "warez", also know as pirated
software, MP3 files which usually consist of copyrighted music, and Emulators/ROMs. Please
ensure that your website consists of your own work and none of the contents on your website
do not infringe upon anyone else's copyrights.
The best policy is good judgment. Do not copy anyone else's images unless free of copyrights,
distribute MP3 files or pirated software.
Websites found in violation of this policy are subject account termination without notice.
Excessive CPU Run Time/RAM Usage
With the growing popularity of CGI scripts, problems arise with CGI scripts which consume
too much CPU run time and/or RAM. This is true regardless of the amount of system resources.
While CGI scripts can create dynamic features on your website, they can also have a detrimental
effect on system performance. Poorly written CGI scripts can have infinite loops or other
problems which causes them to run non-stop or use as much RAM as possible. It is important
that you obtain CGI scripts from these popular free CGI script archives with care. Make sure
your code is efficient and operates normally.
We will have no problem with any free CGI scripts obtained from the following archives:
- Matt's Script Archive
- CGI-World
We cannot speak for any other free archives. It is your responsibility to ensure all CGI
scripts operate efficiently, so be careful of what free CGI scripts you run on your site!
Under circumstances where a script is using as much of the CPU and RAM available, we will
disable the program to prevent this from having an adverse effect on the server. If these
incidences continue, we will be forced to terminate your account.
Additionally, the following types of CGI scripts are prohibited:
- CGI scripts which upload files from the web to your account. These scripts can
be potential security problems.
- CGI scripts which serve a chatroom applications because they are system resource
problems, having to refresh every few seconds for each client in the chatroom.
Websites found in violation of this policy are subject account termination without notice.
Thank you for reading through our terms of service and for your cooperation.
