Threatening bodily harm or property damage to individuals or groups, for example, making terrorist threats, is also strictly prohibited and is grounds for termination.

      4. nstalling "auto-responders," "cancel-bots" or similar automated or manual routines which generate excessive amounts of net traffic;
      5. using IRC bots in violation of any accepted policies on IRC servers; and

1. All iHostingDirect clients and users who publish materials and information which are accessible through the iHostingDirect's connection are solely responsible for the content of such materials and information and are solely responsible for compliance with all laws applicable to the publication of such materials and information. Each such client or user must accept responsibility for the publication of any defamatory, adult content, confidential, secret or proprietary material.
2.

Account holders should be aware, however, that normal use and software will not set off such alarms.

Users should be aware that iHostingDirect views such activities very seriously and may disclose prohibited activities to law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with whom iHostingDirect will fully cooperate. iHostingDirect will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies involved in investigating instances that may be reported to such authorities by clients or other users who believe they are being subjected to potentially unlawful harassment.

6. Each account holder understands and acknowledges that iHostingDirect has the right to terminate any account for any reason that iHostingDirect interprets as an abuse of the account and such account holder will be liable for any and all costs incurred by iHostingDirect as result of such abuse.
7. iHostingDirect will review alleged violations of our Terms of Use on a case-by-case basis. Violations which are not promptly remedied may result in disciplinary action, including referral to appropriate authorities for civil or criminal prosecution. iHostingDirect's decisions in all such matters are final. iHostingDirect does not assume any liability to any account holders, users or others for its failure to enforce our Terms of Use.
8. Nothing herein is to be construed to limit iHostingDirect's remedies in any way, to recover costs, identify and remove offenders, levy cancellation charges or pursue any other remedies at law or in equity.
