Acceptable Uses Policy and terms of service.
for all yourfavorite.com customers and customers
of affiliated sites.
As a yourfavorite.com
customer or user, you must agree to these terms of service. Use of
yourfavorite.com products and/or services constitutes agreement to the following
terms:
The Internet is intended for
use by mature adults (and by minors when supervised by mature adults). Our
customers are expected to use the Internet with respect, courtesy, and
responsibility, giving due regard to the rights of other Internet users. The
customer is expected to have a basic knowledge of how the Internet functions,
the types of use which are generally acceptable, and the types of use which are
to be avoided. Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered
acceptable use. The following are unacceptable uses of services
including, but not limited to software and web hosting:
Illegality
in any form, including but not limited to
activities such as unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted software,
violation of U.S. export restrictions, harassment, fraud, trafficking in obscene
material, drug dealing, and other illegal activities.
Net abuse,
including but not limited to activities such as using a non-existent email
return address on a commercial solicitation, use of email addresses gathered
from an FFA site, spamming (sending unsolicited advertising to numerous email
addresses or newsgroups and/or generating a significantly higher volume of
outgoing email than a normal user), allowing spamming by third parties to
promote a web site hosted by us, trolling (posting outrageous messages to
generate numerous responses), mailbombing (sending multiple messages without
significant new content to the same user), subscribing someone else to a mailing
list without that person's permission, cross-posting articles to an excessive
number of newsgroups, transmitting a virus over the Internet to one or more
users or systems, or attempting without authorization to enter into a secured
computer system. We reserves the right to determine what constitutes net abuse.
Customers will take full financial responsibility for any incident of net abuse.
Tortuous conduct,
including but not limited to posting of defamatory, scandalous, or private
information about a person without their consent, intentionally inflicting
emotional distress, or violating trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual
property rights.

limited to employing posts or programs which consume excessive CPU time or
storage space; permitting use of mail services, mail forwarding capabilities,
POP accounts, or autoresponders other than for the customer's own account;
resale of access to CGI scripts installed on our servers; or attempting to use a
single customer account for third party web sites by allowing more than one
domain pointer to be used to reference pages within the customer's site
Hijack of resources
and/or systems, including but not limited to
using resources such as SMTP or MAIL servers and NET addresses without prior
authorization. By using system resources without having an established
account with yourfavorite.com, or an affiliate, you will automatically become
responsible for payment of $55 per hour for any necessary administrator time
that may result from your actions. You will also be responsible for all
incidental expenses that may result from your actions. This includes, but
is not limited to time for virus removal, system hardware or software repair,
phone time, and letter writing. You will also be responsible for all costs for
collection. Use of system resources without placing an order and receiving
official permission will initiate your unconditional agreement to the terms of
service on this page.

following circumstances:
