In order
to maintain an informative and valuable service that
meets the needs of the users of this site and
MoonChild Direct Services, the rules in this AUP have

2. General Prohibitions. |
| |
|
|
| You may
not use this site or MoonChild Direct’s Services for
any purpose that is unlawful or in any manner that
could damage, disable, overburden or impair the
operation of this site, the MoonChild Direct Network,
or MoonChild Direct’s Services, or any other party’s
use or enjoyment of this site, the MoonChild Direct
Network, or MoonChild Direct’s Services. |
| |
|
|
| |
2.1. |
You may
not use this site or MoonChild Direct’s Services for
any purpose that is unlawful or in any manner that
could damage, disable, overburden or impair the
operation of this site, the MoonChild Direct Network,
or MoonChild Direct’s Services, or any other party’s
use or enjoyment of this site, the MoonChild Direct
Network, or MoonChild Direct’s Services. |
| |
|
|
| |
2.2. |
Adult
Content Prohibited. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
2.2.1. |
Adult-oriented sites demand special system, network,
and bandwidth requirements. MoonChild Direct does not
accommodate those extraordinarily large requirements
in its standard shared, e-commerce, reseller, and
semi-dedicated hosting plans. Therefore you may not
use MoonChild Direct’s services for adult-oriented and
pornography sites. This includes sites that may
include sexual content, or links to adult content
elsewhere. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.2. |
Where
allowed by applicable law, MoonChild Direct does not
prohibit you from posting a static Web page that meets
all of the following criteria:
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
•
|
the page
merely advertises an adult service and provides
information about how to contact the service
offline, i.e., by telephone,
facsimile, or postal mail and not via a link from a
Web site that uses MoonChild Direct’s services;
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
•
|
the page does not
display any sexually explicit content and does not
link to any Web page or site displaying any sexually
explicit content; and |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
•
|
the page does not
require a user to log in with a username or password
to access any of the Web site’s content. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.3. |
In some
jurisdictions, even the notice and advertisement of
adult-oriented services may be illegal. It is your
sole responsibility to learn the laws that govern what
you are and are not allowed to post on your Web site.
As part of your agreement with MoonChild Direct, you must
comply with all such applicable laws.
However, MoonChild Direct cannot and does not advise
you or make any recommendations to you about the
existence of any such laws in a particular
jurisdiction. Nor does MoonChild Direct advise you
about how to comply with any such laws. Furthermore,
laws vary throughout the United States of America and
all over the world, so you should contact your legal
advisor for more information and specific
recommendations concerning the kinds of online
materials that are legal in your region. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.4. |
If you
use MoonChild Direct’s service to publish any content
that any applicable law deems “harmful,”
“inappropriate,” or “unsuitable” for minors (persons
under 18 years of age), then you must provide
appropriate protection to prevent minors from
accessing that content. Such protection is your sole
responsibility because MoonChild Direct does not
censor the content of your Web sites and pages.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.5. |
If you
have a reseller account with MoonChild Direct, you may
not resell our hosting services to any clients or
customers that sell adult content. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
2.2.6. |
You may
not use MoonChild Direct’s services to sell or solicit
sales for any of the following items, products or
services because they are or may be illegal in one or
more jurisdictions where MoonChild Direct’s services
are offered, or where they can be viewed through
MoonChild Direct’s services: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
•
|
Online pornography
or adult content for which a viewer must subscribe to
access it, |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
•
|
Adult
content-related products or services (including
X-rated videos, pictures, etc. especially of
individuals under 18 years of age), and |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
•
|
Obscene materials,
as defined by law. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
If we
find any of your sites (or any of the sites of your
customers, if you have a reseller account) to be
selling any of the prohibited products or services,
the offending accounts shall be subject to immediate
account termination. |
| |
|
|
|
|

criminal investigation into a Customer’s violation of
the Child Protection Act of 1984 concerning child
pornography, or any other applicable international,
federal, state, or local law that prohibits child
pornography. Customers are ultimately responsible for
the actions of their clients over MoonChild Direct
network, and shall be liable for illegal material
posted by their clients.

Child Protection Act, child pornography includes

7.5. |
Definition of Spam. |
| |
|
|
| |
Unsolicited commercial
e-mail and electronic messages are colloquially
referred to as “spam.” Other common names for spam
include “spam e-mail,” “junk e-mail,” “bulk e-mail,”
“direct e-mail,” and “mass e-mail.” Spam is the
electronic equivalent of the direct mail you receive
in your postal mailbox frequently.
In its most general
terms, and as used in this NO-SPAM Policy (the
“Policy”), spam is: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
a
commercial e-mail message or other electronic message,
including, but not limited to, messages that are: |
| |
|
• |
posted
to an electronic mailing list (other than an “opt-in”
e-mail list as described below), |
| |
|
• |
posted
on an online bulletin board system or Web-based
message board system or “guest book”, |
| |
|
• |
posted
to a Usenet newsgroup, |
| |
|
• |
posted
to the common area of an online community, group, or
club, |
| |
|
• |
posted
in a chat room, |
| |
|
• |
posted
in a message board of a commercial online service
(such as America Online), |
| |
|
• |
posted
to a Weblog (“blog”), |
| |
|
• |
sent via
an instant message system (such as ICQ, Yahoo! Pager,
Yahoo! Instant Messenger, or AOL Instant Messenger), |
| |
|
• |
sent
through e-mail or another Internet means of
communication when the message’s ultimate destination
is a facsimile (“fax”) machine, cellular or wireless
telephone, or wireless device, |
| |
• |
a
commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is addressed to one or more recipients with whom
you do not have an preexisting business or personal
relationship, |
| |
• |
a
commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is sent to a mailing list of addresses that you
purchased or that were otherwise distributed, or any
list of e-mail addresses whose owners did not sign up
for your specific mailing list, including without
limitation lists commonly known as “affiliate lists,” |
| |
• |
a
commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is not sent at the request of, or with the
express consent of, the recipient(s), |
| |
• |
a
commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is sent to a recipient who has opted out of
receiving further commercial electronic messages from
you, or |
| |
• |
a
commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that contains forged headers, compromised mail server
relays, or false contact information. |
| |
|
|
| |
For purposes of this
Policy, spam also includes any e-mail or other
electronic message that is sent in violation of any
applicable Federal, state, or local law regulating
unsolicited commercial e-mail, unsolicited fax
transmissions, or any other type of unsolicited
commercial electronic message, regardless of whether
that message fits the definition of “spam” provided
above. |
| |
|
|
| |
7.6. |
“Opt-in”
E-mail Lists. |
| |
|
|
| |
Please note: messages
sent to “opt-in” e-mail lists are not spam, for
purposes of this Policy, provided that those messages
meet all of the following criteria: |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
the
messages are sent to an “opt-in” e-mail list in which
ALL subscribers have VOLUNTARILY agreed to receive
announcements and advertisements about products and
services; |
| |
• |
the
messages STRICTLY COMPLY with ALL the requirements and
regulations of the “opt-in” e-mail list; and |
| |
• |
upon
request of any subscriber to the “opt-in” e-mail list,
you immediately stop sending that subscriber any
e-mail regarding your products and services. |
| |
|
|
| |
If you choose to use an
“opt-in” e-mail list, please be aware that MoonChild
Direct will consider ANY violation of the requirements
or regulations of such any third party provider of
software or services for such a list to be a violation
of this NO SPAM Policy.
Furthermore, MoonChild
Direct reserves the right to prohibit “opt-in” e-mail
lists in the future if such a prohibition is
reasonably necessary to keep its hosting service
operating efficiently for all users. |
