acknowledge that if we are made aware of content that is determined
to be, in its sole discretion, unacceptable, undesirable, offensive,
indecent, obscene, excessively violent or otherwise objectionable,
WebGeo Designs and Communications has the right, but not the obligation,
to edit, remove or deny access to such content. WebGeo Designs and
Communications may disclose any content or records concerning customer's
account as required to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental
request or court order.

with an attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of
any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited
to, accessing data not intended for the customer, logging into a
server or account the customer is not expressly authorized to access,

of weakness, or violation of any other organization's security policy.

host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding,
mail bombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash

with its own pre-configured CGI-Bin. Customers are free to use any
CGI-scripts provided with their account or add any additional ones
they require. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting the
server performance or the network integrity may be shut down without
prior notice. CGI-script sharing with domains not hosted by WebGeo

Chat Rooms
WebGeo Designs and Communications prohibits its customers from installing
outside chat rooms on their domain, as these tend to be a resource
problem. WebGeo Designs and Communications does provide its customers
a choice of Java chat rooms to choose from for a nominal monthly
charge. These chat rooms were designed to meet the growing needs
of customers and function without hindering the performance of the
servers for others.

but not limited to CPU time, memory usage, and network resources)
will be given an option of either upgrading their service level
or reducing the resource used to an acceptable level.

Comminications will consider requests on a per-application basis.
If allowed, extra charges will be assessed based on resource requirements
for system maintenance.

the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service that
in any way implicates the use of the WebGeo Designs and Communications
Network, WebGeo Designs and Communications equipment or any WebGeo

unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter
or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited
the message. For purposes of this provision, merely making one's
email address accessible to the public will not constitute a request
or invitation to receive messages.

WebGeo Designs and Communications, reserves the right to disable
your domain/terminate your account. In addition, WebGeo Designs
and Communications may impose a $100 penalty for each spam policy
