Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

As a provider of web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, SavePro Designs offers its clients, and their customers and users, the means to disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. SavePro Designs respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, SavePro Designs reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, SavePro Designs 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 utilizing SavePro Designs services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of SavePro Designs after changes to the AUP are posted on SavePro Designs web site, www.saveprodesigns.com, will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.

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 the Internet to disseminate information to others.

When information is disseminated through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that SavePro Designs does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its clients 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 they create is carried over SavePro Designs network and may reach a large number of people, including both clients and non-clients of SavePro Designs, clients' postings to the Internet may affect other clients and may harm SavePro Designs goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, clients violate SavePro Designs policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities.

Adult Content

Because the Internet is a global communication tool, and we have clients from nearly every country in the world it is difficult to dictate what is considered "adult material." However, it is not our function to discriminate against those who choose to utilize adult content or adult related material. With this being said, there are still several reasons why SavePro Designs has been forced to create it’s no adult sites policy for its virtual and bulk reseller server users, including but not limited to direct customers, resellers and resold accounts.

What does SavePro Designs consider "Adult Material"?

  • Any site whose revenue is gained in part or whole from its adult content.
  • Photos or videos showing frontal nudity on either men or women for non-scientific or non-artistic purposes.
  • Hyper links to adult sites, including but not limited to sites who violate these policies.
  • Sites that have discussion boards and share information that is ‘adult' in nature.
  • Sites that sell or promote ‘adult' material, including but not limited to adult toys.

SavePro Designs reserves the right to decide what it considers "adult content", "adult material", "sexually explicit", or "sexually related". Let us know if you are unsure of the approval of your site before placing an order. Please email [email protected] for review of your content and/or site.

Why does SavePro Designs have this policy?

Bandwidth and Resources
A virtual server is a shared environment where many servers reside on each particular machine. This being said, consider that an average "adult site" gets more hits than 100 standard web sites. Some of the smaller adult sites get around 5 GB of transfer per day. With these types of resources being utilized, our servers would be severely slowed if we allowed these high traffic sites to also reside on our servers. On top of that, we would be forced to raise our prices to pay for the additional bandwidth. We strive to keep our servers fast and inexpensive, and our bandwidth clear; therefore, adult sites are not an option.

Banned IP's
Adult sites tend to get blocked. Since many of our shared accounts also share IP addresses and/or the range of IPs are blocked, all other users on that server or network range are impacted.

Association
Many people do not want to be associated with adult content, based on personal opinions and beliefs. IPs are assigned to a server in ranges and IP address are in many cases shared IPs. Consequently, we want our shared servers to be ‘adult content' free.

Illegal Activities

Intellectual Property Violations
Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. SavePro Designs is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also SavePro Designs policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws. Reference our copyright infringement policy for more information.

Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Computers or Networks
Accessing illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's system (often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

Forging of Headers
Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

Export Control Violations
Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.

Other Illegal Activities
Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, and pirating software.

Banned Scripts

Unfortunately, many good things are turned on us to be used for nefarious activities. Commonly used scripts are frequently exploited to allow unauthorized access to the systems they are running on. Others just require more resources than is allocated on a shared server environment.

Consequently, in order to keep SavePro Designs network and servers safe, we may need to take actions that inconvenience our good customers. Any time we find scripts or other commonly used tools that can become easily compromised or impact other users by using too many server resources, we may need to disable scripts or other tools installed and used by our customers.

Whenever possible, we will notify our customers in advance. We will also attempt to keep this page updated with current scripts which will require removal from our shared servers and/or our network.

This list includes script/program names, reason for ban, who/what servers they are banned on (e.g. our Shared or Network wide) and provide alternative options for our customers whenever possible.

Copyright Infringement / Intellectual Property

Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. SavePro Designs is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also SavePro Designs policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.

Miscellaneous and Other Activities

Other specific activities that are against our Acceptable Use Policy include the following:

Defamatory or Abusive Language
Using SavePro Designs network as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language. Any content that is discriminatory based on gender, race, age and/or promotes hate or violence is prohibited.

Usenet Group Postings that Violates our TOS
SavePro Designs reserves the right not to accept postings from newsgroups where we have actual knowledge that the content of the newsgroup violates the AUP

Facilitating a Violation of our TOS
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 activities SavePro Designs determines to be harmful
Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that SavePro Designs determines to be harmful to its clients, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the client. SavePro Designs will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its client to ensure that they comply with SavePro Designs policy or applicable law. When SavePro Designs becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.

SavePro Designs also is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, SavePro Designs urges its clients to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. SavePro Designs cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over SavePro Designs facilities.

SavePro Designs will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its clients unless required to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. SavePro Designs may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, SavePro Designs may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a client, 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. SavePro Designs assumes no obligation to inform the client that client information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, SavePro Designs may disclose client information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect SavePro Designs and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including SavePro Designs and its clients, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a client's violation of this AUP should be sent to [email protected] for assistance.
