New Area in Production, big thing
By Marc / 12 DecTerms of Service
As a provider of web site
hosting and other Internet-related services, GermanVPS.com offers its
customer (also known as "Subscribers") and their customers and users the
means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial
and non-commercial information. GermanVPS.com respects that the Internet
provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of
information. However, when there are competing interests at issue,
GermanVPS.com reserves the right to take certain preventive or
corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests,
GermanVPS.com 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 using GermanVPS.com' services.
This AUP will be revised from time to time.
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 judgement and responsibility of those who use it, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that GermanVPS.com cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information they acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgement in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet may be sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because GermanVPS.com cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, GermanVPS.com cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers resulting from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive or illegal Internet communications.
When subscribers disseminate information from the Internet, they must keep in mind that GermanVPS.com does not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information its subscribers 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 created is carried over GermanVPS.com' network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of GermanVPS.com, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may affect GermanVPS.com' goodwill, business, reputation or operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate GermanVPS.com policy and the Service Agreement when they, their customers, affiliates or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:
Spamming:
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the
Internet. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on
consumer attitudes toward GermanVPS.com, but also because it can
overload GermanVPS.com's network and disrupt service to GermanVPS.com's
subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a
complaint is received, GermanVPS.com will investigate and suspend the
account if it is found to be sending SPAM. A $500 charge for violating
this policy will be charged to the person initiating the SPAM.
Furthermore GermanVPS.com reserves the right to prosecute for this
violation.

GermanVPS.com does not allow Torrent, you may not run any torrent
application/script, tracker, or client, and will suspend/terminate any
offending account.
TOR - Open Proxy/VPN:
You may not run any public proxy services or any scripts that interface
with TOR, including TOR relay, entry, exit and bridge nodes. TOR, public
proxies and public VPN's are strictly forbidden and we reserve the right

running these services.

The high CPU loaded produced by mining digital currency negatively
impacts performance for all of our customers, as such you may not run
any BitCoin related services, this includes any BitCoin derivatives such

CamFrog:
Due to the high frequency of DDOS attacks against CamFrog servers, it is
forbidden to host Camfrog servers or other server applications that are
frequent targets of Denial of Service attacks or other types of attacks.
If found to be running such services your server will be immediately
suspended and the server will not be reconnected to the network until
such time that you agree to completely remove any and all traces of the
offending service, and agree to let us have access to your server to
confirm that the content has been completely removed. Any server guilty
of a second violation will result in immediate account termination.

information-gathering activity).

Other Activities:

determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation,
goodwill or customer relations.
As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. GermanVPS.com will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that the comply with GermanVPS.com' policy or applicable law. However, when GermanVPS.com becomes aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or any other action deemed appropriate by GermanVPS.com.
GermanVPS.com is also aware that many of its subscribers are themselves providers of Internet services, and that information reaching GermanVPS.com' facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third party. GermanVPS.com does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. GermanVPS.com reserves the right to directly take action against a customer of its subscribers. Also, GermanVPS.com may take action against the GermanVPS.com' subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, GermanVPS.com anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with GermanVPS.com in any corrective or preventive action that GermanVPS.com deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of GermanVPS.com policy.
GermanVPS.com will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or receive by its subscribers, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. GermanVPS.com may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, GermanVPS.com may disclose information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, 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. GermanVPS.com assumes not obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, GermanVPS.com may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect GermanVPS.com and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, GermanVPS.com will never sell information to other services or outside companies.
GermanVPS.com expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate GermanVPS.com policy. Finally, GermanVPS.com wishes to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify GermanVPS.com for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or GermanVPS.com policy resulting in loss to GermanVPS.com or the bringing of any claim against GermanVPS.com by any third party. This means that, if GermanVPS.com is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against GermanVPS.com, plus costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including GermanVPS.com and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to [email protected].
