Acceptable Use Policy

Introduction
During the term of its agreement with Findoo, the customer must ensure that the use of any resource offered to the customer or owned or controlled by Findoo ("Service") conforms with Findoo's then current Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). Findoo may modify, without prior notice, the AUP as Findoo deems appropriate; such modified AUP is effective upon posting on Findoo's website.

Findoo reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion what constitutes UCE based on the information available. Sending any email to purchased lists or lists obtained by any other method (such as harvesting) is not acceptable.

Glutting of servers
Oversized storage of any files that would be unreasonably large (ie. making a zip file filled with text files just to pad the size). Again, your webspace is not for data back up. It is only for hosting real sites.
