Penguin Hosting LLC Acceptable Use Policy
-----------------------------------------

Penguin Hosting LLC aims to provide high quality service to all of
its customers at all times.  In order to achieve this, we must implement
some rules as to the acceptable uses of your Penguin Hosting account:


1) Explicitly disallowed

   The following uses of your Penguin Hosting account are explicitly
   disallowed and may result in account termination:


  a) Illegal Content

     Content that violates International law, the laws of New York
     State, or the laws of the United States of America is grounds
     for account termination and release of your account information
     to the appropriate authorities.


  b) Sharing Account Access

     Penguin Hosting accounts are intended for use by one person,
     organization or company.  Sharing of account information to
     other parties shall be considered resale of service (see section
     1c), even if such service is given away rather than sold.


  c) Resale of Service

     Resale of Penguin Hosting service (such as selling non-domain
     web hosting or DNS subdomain hosting), whether such service is
     billed or given away, is grounds for account termination.


  d) Internal Security Breach

     Any attempt to breach the security of Penguin Hosting servers,
     software or to obscure any of your actions on Penguin Hosting
     servers from the administrators is grounds for account termination
     and possible prosecution.


  e) External Security Breach

     Any attempt to breach the security of any external host, including
     (but not limited to) port scanning, exploit scanning, exploit use,
     password "brute forcing", and VRFY scanning is grounds for account
     termination and release of your account information to all involved
     parties on request.


  f) Excessive Resource Usage

     Excessive usage of any resources, including, but not limited to,
     bandwidth, memory, processor time, and disk space is grounds for
     account interruption and/or termination.


  g) Unsolicited Email

     Sending of any unsolicited email, including mail sent to single
     opt-in mailing lists, is grounds for account termination and
     release of your account information to anti-spam organizations.


  h) Background Processes

     Running any process, excepting CGI processes and cron processes,
     while the user is not logged in to the Penguin Hosting server is
     grounds for account termination.


2) Other

   All uses not enumerated here are permitted at the discretion of the
   systems administrators.


3) Account Holder Responsibility

   Actions taken by an account on the system are assumed, for the
	 purposes of this policy, to have been taken by the account holder
	 themself.  This includes exploitation of web scripts or other
	 services running as the user.


4) Account Termination

   Penguin Hosting reserves the right to terminate any account at any
   time without cause or prior notice.  Upon account termination,
   Penguin Hosting agrees to make available:


  a) Any positive balance that was paid in advance on the account, 
     remitted via the method that the amount was originally paid.


  b) A compressed and archived copy of the account's home directory for
     the period of 1 week after account termination.


5) Account Reinstatement

   Accounts that have been terminated may be reinstated at the
	 discretion of the systems administrators based on remedy efforts
	 made by the customer.  Penguin Hosting charges a $25 fee in such
	 cases to cover the costs of investigation, termination, support and
	 reinstatement.


6) AUP Changes

   This AUP may be changed at any time by Penguin Hosting
   by posting the new version of the document to our website.
