Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information,
data or material in violation of any applicable law
or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is
not limited to: copyrighted material, trademark, trade

proper authorization, and material that is obscene,
defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat. Examples
of non-acceptable content or links: Pirated software,
Hackers programs or archives, Warez sites, MP3, and
IRC bots. The subscriber to our service agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless daPyxis from any claims
resulting from the use of the service that damages
the subscriber or any other party. We will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of
this provision.

Due to special system and network requirements of
adult oriented sites, pornography and sex-related
merchandising are prohibited. This includes sites
that may infer sexual content, or links to adult content
elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote
any illegal activity or content that may be damaging

Links to such materials are also prohibited.

the header information in an email or a newsgroup
posting.
- Server Resource
Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources
(such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage,
and network resources) will be given an option of
either paying extra (which depends on the resource
needed) or reducing the resource used to an acceptable
level. daPyxis shall be the sole arbiter of what is
considered to be a high usage level.

by us is not allowed. Any scripts deemed to be adversely
affecting the server performance or the network integrity

activities using the service of another ISP or IPP,

- Actions Taken by daPyxis
When daPyxis becomes aware of an alleged violation
of its Acceptable Use Policy, daPyxis will initiate
an investigation. During the investigation we may
restrict Customer's access in order to prevent further
possible unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity
of the violation, daPyxis may, at its sole discretion,
restrict, suspend, or terminate Customer's account
and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation
is a criminal offense, daPyxis will notify the appropriate
law enforcement department of such violation. daPyxis
does not issue service credits for any outages incurred
through service disablement resulting from Policy
violations.

daPyxis reserves the right to make changes to any
of the policy and the agreement immediately and without
notice to Customer. Changes in monthly service fees
are effective only at the end of any calendar quarter
for which Customer has already prepaid. The use of
the service by the Customer following the effective
date of such change shall be proof of acceptance of
Customer of such change(s).
