Acceptable Use Policy


Revision date: 01-02-2014

As a provider of web site hosting and other Internet-related services, LankaHost Web Hosting Network offers its customer (also known as "Subscribers") and their customers and users the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial and non-commercial information. LankaHost Web Hosting Network respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information. However, when there are competing interests at issue, LankaHost Web Hosting Network reserves the right to take certain preventive or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, LankaHost Web Hosting Network has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement, and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when using LankaHost Web Hosting Network' services. This AUP will be revised from time to time.

One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use it, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that LankaHost Web Hosting Network cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information they acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet may be sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because LankaHost Web Hosting Network cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, LankaHost Web Hosting Network cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers resulting from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive or illegal Internet communications.

When subscribers disseminate information from the Internet, they must keep in mind that LankaHost Web Hosting Network does not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation and other harmful speech. Also, because the information created is carried over LankaHost Web Hosting Network' network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of LankaHost Web Hosting Network, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may affect LankaHost Web Hosting Network' goodwill, business, reputation or operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate LankaHost Web Hosting Network policy and the Service Agreement when they, their customers, affiliates or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming:
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward LankaHost Web Hosting Network, but also because it can overload LankaHost Web Hosting Network' network and disrupt service to LankaHost Web Hosting Network' subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited.

Audio/Video Streaming:
Audio/Video Streaming is not hosting friendly. As such, LankaHost Web Hosting Network does not allow any streaming of audio or video content. Offending accounts will be suspended without noticed or terminated.

Adult-Oriented Content:
LankaHost Web Hosting Network does not allow adult content and will suspend/terminate any offending account.

Also, any activity that may be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e., port scan, stealth scan or other information-gathering activity).

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses or Other Destructive Activities :
Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service or equipment.

Facilitation a Violation of this AUP:
Advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available any software, program, product or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mail bombing, denial of service attacks and piracy of software.

Other Illegal Activities:
Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including, but not limited to, advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards and pirating software.

Other Activities:
Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that LankaHost Web Hosting Network determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. LankaHost Web Hosting Network will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that the comply with LankaHost Web Hosting Network' policy or applicable law. However, when LankaHost Web Hosting Network becomes aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or any other action deemed appropriate by LankaHost Web Hosting Network.

LankaHost Web Hosting Network is also aware that many of its subscribers are themselves providers of Internet services, and that information reaching LankaHost Web Hosting Network' facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third party. LankaHost Web Hosting Network does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. LankaHost Web Hosting Network reserves the right to directly take action against a customer of its subscribers. Also, LankaHost Web Hosting Network may take action against the LankaHost Web Hosting Network' subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, LankaHost Web Hosting Network anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with LankaHost Web Hosting Network in any corrective or preventive action that LankaHost Web Hosting Network deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of LankaHost Web Hosting Network policy.

LankaHost Web Hosting Network will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or receive by its subscribers, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. LankaHost Web Hosting Network may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, LankaHost Web Hosting Network may disclose information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation or governmental request. LankaHost Web Hosting Network assumes not obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, LankaHost Web Hosting Network may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect LankaHost Web Hosting Network and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, LankaHost Web Hosting Network will never sell information to other services or outside companies.

LankaHost Web Hosting Network expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate LankaHost Web Hosting Network policy. Finally, LankaHost Web Hosting Network wishes to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify LankaHost Web Hosting Network for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or LankaHost Web Hosting Network policy resulting in loss to LankaHost Web Hosting Network or the bringing of any claim against LankaHost Web Hosting Network by any third party. This means that, if LankaHost Web Hosting Network is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against LankaHost Web Hosting Network, plus costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including LankaHost Web Hosting Network and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to support@lankahost.net.
