FROGS.ORG: Free Web Hosting Terms of Service
TERMS OF SERVICE (TOS)

Upon signing up for FROGS.ORG's Free Web Hosting service, all parties ("customers") agree to comply with FROGS.ORG's Web Hosting Terms of Use. These Terms of Use seek to ensure that our customers enjoy FROGS.ORG's Free Web Hosting service with due regard for the rights of other Internet users and in conformity with the requirements of FROGS.ORG's network environment.



Illegal Use

FROGS.ORG websites may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data, or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material; trademarks; trade secrets or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Examples of unacceptable content or links include: pirated software, hacker programs or archives, Warez sites, MP3, and IRC bots.

Security

Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include but are not limited to the following: unauthorized access, use, probing, or scanning of systems security or authentication measures, data, or traffic; interference with service to any user, host, or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system, broadcast attacks; and forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

Server Resources

Any FROGS.ORG free web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) may be given the option of reducing the resources used to an acceptable level or leaving the FROGS.ORG Free Web Hosting service.  FROGS.ORG will strive to avoid such situations, but FROGS.ORG shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. 

Any Free Web Hosting account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.

CGI Scripts

CGI script sharing with domains other than FROGS.ORG is not permitted. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.

Chat Rooms

FROGS.ORG does not allow customers to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to require significant system resources and therefore cannot be permitted as an account option.

Background Running Programs and Cron Jobs

FROGS.ORG may allow programs to run in the background. These programs will be considered on an individual basis and customers may incur preapproved charges based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run background programs please contact FROGS.ORG at webhosting@FROGS.ORG.com so that we can arrange set-up.

IRC

FROGS.ORG does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

UCE (Unsolicited Commerce Email) - SPAM

Spamming, the sending of unsolicited mass email from or through a FROGS.ORG server or using an email address that is maintained on a FROGS.ORG machine is STRICTLY prohibited. FROGS.ORG will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Customers are in violation of this provision if they engage in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP but channel activities through a FROGS.ORG server as a mail drop for responses. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of $200 and will face immediate suspension.

Server Abuse

Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a FROGS.ORG server or customer are strictly prohibited.

Software Distribution

FROGS.ORG's Free Web Hosting accounts are not configured for the purposes of distributing software and/or multimedia products. If you wish to distribute software and/or multimedia files, please contact webhosting@FROGS.ORG.com to make special arrangements.

Copyright Violations

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") sets forth the requirements for valid copyright infringement notification. If you would like to notify FROGS.ORG of an infringement of your copyright, the DMCA requires that you:

  1. Send your notification to FROGS.ORG's designated agent. You may choose any of the following three avenues for this notification:
    1. Email to webhosting@FROGS.ORG.com
    2. Mail or courier to FROGS.ORG, Attention: Abuse, 1700 North Moore Street, 20th Floor, Arlington, VA 22209 USA
  2. Include in your notification the following information
    1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf (the "Claimant")
    2. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed
    3. Identification of the material claimed to infringe the copyright(s), and enough information for FROGS.ORG to locate it
    4. The Claimant's name, address, and telephone number(s)
    5. A statement that the Claimant has a good faith belief that use of the disputed material is not authorized by the copyright owner or his agent
    6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification of copyright infringement is accurate and that the Claimant is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Actions Taken by FROGS.ORG
The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the above Terms of Use is grounds for account deactivation. FROGS.ORG will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the Terms of Use. FROGS.ORG reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice.

When FROGS.ORG becomes aware of an alleged violation of its Terms of Use, FROGS.ORG will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, FROGS.ORG may restrict a customer's access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, FROGS.ORG may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer's Free Web Hosting account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, FROGS.ORG will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation.

FROGS.ORG does not issue credits for outages incurred through service disablement resulting from Terms of Use violations.

FROGS.ORG customers agree to indemnify and hold harmless FROGS.ORG from any claims resulting from the use of our services that damages them or any other party.

Modification
FROGS.ORG reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any provision of this Terms of Use at any time without notice.
