Policy and Service Guidelines
In the following terms, we are noted
as ChristianHosting.Com as that is our business. ChristianHosting.Com operates several hosting divisions under different operating names. These terms and conditions override any email, chat session, or contact of any kind
with any ChristianHosting.Com personnel.
Content:
All services provided by ChristianHosting.Com may be
used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or
presentation of any information, data or material in violation of
any United States Federal, State or City law is prohibited. This
includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, trademark,
intellectual property, material we judge to be threatening or
obscene, or material protected by trade secret and other statute
without proper authorization. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless ChristianHosting.Com from any claims resulting from the use
of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.
Pornography and sex-related merchandising and material is
prohibited on all sites hosted by ChristianHosting.Com. This includes sites that may infer sexual content, or links
to adult content elsewhere. If you host non-adult related content
with us and then host adult related sites somewhere else, this is
also prohibited and we can not allow someone to host on our server
that would host pornography elsewhere.
ChristianHosting.Com will be the sole arbiter in
determining violations of this provision. If pornography is found on
our server, the offending domain will be deleted immediately with no
warning.
Also prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or
present content that may be damaging to ChristianHosting.Com servers or
any other server on the internet. Links to such materials are also
prohibited.
Examples of unacceptable content or links:
- Pirated software
- Hacker programs or archives
- Warez sites
ChristianHosting.Com will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision.
Your site cannot promote demonic, occult, satanic, new age
or anti-Christian values or beliefs; cannot promote pro-choice or
pro-abortion views; cannot promote gay or lesbian lifestyle views;
cannot promote a distorted view or faulty interpretation of the Holy
Bible (we are not talking about disputes between KJV and NIV, we are
talking of obvious misconstruing of God's Word) Not only can you not
have offending material on your sites, but you cannot have links to
any sites with offending material on them or material listed
above. If links to any offending sites are found, we will ask
you to remove them and if you do not comply, we will then have to
remove your account from our server.
The above listing is not
complete by any means. ChristianHosting.Com decides what is offending to
our family and we want everyone to abide by those rules.
ChristianHosting.Com has the complete right to ask anyone to leave for any
offending reason at our discretion.. At ChristianHosting.Com's discretion,
access to ChristianHosting.Com's server (and your account) may be revoked
at any time for abusive conduct on the system and/or the Internet
and its resources as a whole.
E-mail
Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited e-mail
or message board posts including, without limitation, commercial
advertising and informational announcements, from our server(s) or
using an e-mail address or domain that is maintained on any
ChristianHosting.Com machine as reference in that
spam is STRICTLY prohibited. Domains and sites are subject to
being canceled immediately off of our server as well as fined no
less than $500 US. A user shall not use another site's mail server
