accessible over or through the services, except for certain proprietary
Web sites. However, in accordance with our TOS (Terms of Service), we may
remove any materials that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may
subject us to liability, or which may violate this AUP. JJ Web Hosting may
cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation

JJ Web Hosting
intends to provide its customers access to everything the Internet has to
offer. While the JJ Web Hosting team
is firmly committed to the principles of free speech, certain activities
that may be damaging to the resources of both the JJ Web Hosting
and the Internet cannot be permitted under the guise of free speech. The
resources of the JJ Web Hosting
and the Internet are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user has
a negative impact on the entire community.
We do not routinely monitor the activity of accounts except for
measurements of system utilization and the preparation of billing records.
However, in our efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet
community, we will respond appropriately if we become aware of
inappropriate use of our service.
You may not use your dedicated server hosting space to publish material,
which JJ Web
Hosting
determines, at its sole discretion, to be unlawful, indecent or
objectionable. For purposes of this policy, "material" refers to all forms
of communications including narrative descriptions, graphics (including
photographs, illustrations, images, drawings, logos), executable programs,
video recordings, and audio recordings.
If a JJ Web
Hosting account
is used to violate the Acceptable Use Policy or our TOS, we reserve the
right to terminate your service without
notice.
We prefer to advise customers of inappropriate behavior and any necessary
corrective action, however, flagrant violations of the Acceptable Use
Policy will result in immediate termination of service. Our failure to
enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a
waiver of our right to do so at any time.
As a member of our network community, you must use your Internet access
responsibly. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please
