ILLEGAL USE
The Kenobi Solutions Network may be used only for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution or storage of any material in violation of any applicable law or regulation coming to or from any unauthorized network or system is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; government and military data protected by law and national security; university and academic data protected by public policy; and material that, in Kenobi Solutions's sole discretion, is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, facilitates identity theft or other fraud, or violates export control laws. Any violation of the above, which compromises the integrity of the Kenobi Solutions Network or any other network is strictly prohibited.
NETWORK AND MACHINE RESOURCES
Kenobi Solutions reserves the right to monitor and allocate network and machine resources. IP addresses are allocated per server and according to virtual server specifications. Cgi resources are allocated one per domain (a virtual host is required for each cgi-bin and is considered a virtual host). Kenobi Solutions in its sole discretion and upon reasonable notice to customer reserves the right to discontinue any hosting account and/or any script which causes excessive server load and/or uses excessive server and network resources.
To protect Internet, network, and machine resources on behalf of the entire
Kenobi Solutions customer base, no individual customer may do the following:
1. Offer adult content of any kind, as determined in Kenobi Solutions’s sole discretion.
2. Utilize CGI/PERL chat, JAVA chat, or any other chat scripts in a manner that
adversely affects the operations or performance of other Kenobi Solutions customers, or of
the Kenobi Solutions system(s) or network(s). The adverse effect of such use shall be determined
by Kenobi Solutions in its sole discretion.
3. Use more than 1 MPBS throughput during peak network hours (9AM to 6PM ET).
Such usage could result in penalty fees. In the event of any dispute regarding
penalty fees, Kenobi Solutions may determine violations and fees applicable in its sole discretion.
Moreover, in a shared hosting environment, for the same reasons indicated above, no individual customer may do the following: (NOTE: The restrictions listed immediately below do NOT apply to collocation plans, server appliance plans, I-MHIP plans, or any other dedicated server offerings.)
1. Use their web site to store web pages, files, or data for other IP addresses
or domain names, or as a repository for files, data, or “Warez group”
download transfer.
2. Use their web site for data transfer from any database server, or for streaming
audio and/or video downloads; or use their web site as a storage area for files
that are not linked to the customer’s web pages hosted on the same web
site on Kenobi Solutions’s servers.
Kenobi Solutions may immediately suspend service without prior notice to any web site that violates these rules. In the event of any dispute regarding these rules, Kenobi Solutions may determine violations of these rules in its sole discretion.
Customers utilizing bandwidth in excess of plan limitations, or in violation of these rules, will owe Kenobi Solutions compensation therefor at the applicable rate for excess bandwidth.
SYSTEM AND NETWORK SECURITY
Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal
and civil liability. Kenobi Solutions will investigate incidents involving such violations
and may involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities if a criminal
violation is suspected. Kenobi Solutions respects the privacy of customer data and vigilantly
protects that data and ALL customers who host with Kenobi Solutions. If any violation of
the law or this AUP is suspected, Kenobi Solutions reserves the right to investigate. Use
of the Kenobi Solutions network constitutes consent to monitoring. Examples of unlawful acts,
system, or network security violations include, without limitation, the following:
Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt
to probe, damage, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to
breach security or authentication measures without express authorization of
the owner of the system or network. Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic
on any network or system without express authorization of the owner of the system
or network. Interference with service to any user, host or network including,
without limitation, mailbombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a
system and broadcast attacks. Unauthorized access to any data, system, or network
from an unauthorized system or network for any purpose which is not lawful or
which is intended to do harm. Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part
of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting. Electronic forging
of any kind to include but not limited to IP addresses, domains, business names,
etc.
If you use any Kenobi Solutions service described on this website, and if Kenobi Solutions determines in its sole discretion that you caused or allowed a security exploit within the Kenobi Solutions network, or that you caused or allowed UCE/spam originating from your service to adversely impact the Kenobi Solutions network and its customers, you may be assessed a $1,000 penalty fee, in the sole discretion of Kenobi Solutions. (As an example, if you fail to properly administer and protect your self-managed server from being exploited by a third party, this failure on your part in turn results in expanded degradation of the Kenobi Solutions network.) If you subscribe to the Kenobi Solutions Security Monitoring Plan and PPIS, and you implement Best Practices in accordance with the plan, you will not be assessed a penalty fee.
EMAIL
Sending unsolicited email messages, including, without limitation, unwanted advertising and informational announcements, is explicitly prohibited, whether sent in bulk or not, and whether commercial in nature or not. The use of Kenobi Solutions resources to sell or enable the sale of "bulk" and/or "stealth" email software (to include so-called "spoof" software) is strictly forbidden. The use of Kenobi Solutions resources to sell or enable the sale of software designed to "harvest" email addresses is also categorically prohibited. A user shall not use another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site owner. Legitimate mailing lists and subscriber lists are acceptable. Otherwise, it is spam.
USENET
Posting the same messages to multiple newsgroups (excessive cross-posting or multiple-posting, also known as "SPAM") is expressly prohibited.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON BEHALF OF AN Kenobi Solutions CUSTOMER OR A CUSTOMER'S END USER, SHALL BE CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY BY SUCH CUSTOMER OR END USER.
For Example: If you are hosting a bulk email site on Kenobi Solutions servers
and you use another ISP to SPAM from in order to reference your Kenobi Solutions
site by IP address or domain name, you are violating Kenobi Solutions policy
and possibly the law. If you have been granted telnet access to Kenobi Solutions
servers, multiple telnet log-ons are strictly prohibited and you must come from
a valid IP address. Forgery is against the law. Any type of denial of service
attack from valid or invalid addresses is a violation of Kenobi Solutions security
policy and against the law. If you have been granted password privileges for
FTP or telnet, sharing your password with an unauthorized user or third party
is strictly prohibited. Complaints regarding illegal Use or System or Network
Security issues should be sent to network@Kenobi Solutionscom.net. Complaints
regarding email abuse should be sent to abuse@Kenobi Solutions.com Complaints
regarding USENET abuse or SPAM should be sent to abuse@Kenobi Solutions.com
