You acknowledge and agree that You are required to begin using at least ninety percent (90%) of Your purchased IP addresses within thirty (30) days of assignment of such IP addresses to You.

You represent and warrant to ix-one that: Your content does not and shall not contain any content, materials, data, work, trade or service mark, trade name, link, advertising or services that actually or potentially violate any applicable law or regulation or infringe or misappropriate any proprietary, intellectual property, contract or tort right of any person and that You own Your server content and all proprietary or intellectual property rights therein, or have express written authorization from the owner to copy, use and display the content on and within Your server account. You also represent and warrant that the server content being hosted by ix-one shall not be used in connection with any illegal activity.

You are responsible for ensuring that there is no excessive overloading of ix-one's DNS system or servers. In the event that You exceed Your allotted bandwidth and thereby overload ix-one's DNS or servers, You shall be assessed any and all fees, costs and penalties associated with such overloading. You may not use ix-one's servers and Your Server Account as a source, intermediary, reply to address, or destination address for mail bombs, Internet packet flooding, packet corruption, denial of service, or other abusive activities. Server hacking or other perpetration of security breaches is prohibited and ix-one reserves the right to remove sites that contain information about hacking or links to such information. Use of your server account as an anonymous gateway is prohibited, as is Your use of the Dedicated Services to restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Internet. You acknowledge and agree that ix-one has the right to remove Your server content temporarily or permanently from its dedicated servers if ix-one is the recipient of activities that threaten the stability of its network.

You agree not to engage in unacceptable use of any of the Dedicated Services, which includes, without limitation, use of the Dedicated Services to: (i) disseminate or transmit unsolicited messages, chain letters, unsolicited commercial email or unreasonably large volumes of email on a daily basis, provided, ix-one, in its sole discretion, may permit You, if You have a legitimate purpose and after request, to send more email than ix-one's standard STMP relay limit; (ii) disseminate or transmit any material that, to a reasonable person may be abusive, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, harassing, grossly offensive, vulgar, threatening or malicious; (iii) disseminate or transmit files, graphics, software or other material, data or work that actually or potentially infringes the copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any person; (iv) create a false identity or to otherwise attempt to mislead any person as to the identity, source or origin of any communication; (v) export, re-export or permit downloading of any message or content in violation of any export or import law, regulation or restriction of the United States and its agencies or authorities, or without all required approvals, licenses and/or exemptions; (vi) interfere, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any computer system, server, network or account for which You do not have authorization to access or at a level exceeding Your authorization; (vii) disseminate or transmit any virus, trojan horse or other malicious, harmful or disabling data, work, code or program; (viii) engage in any other activity deemed by ix-one to be in conflict with the spirit or intent of this Agreement or any ix-one policy; or (ix) use Your server as an "open relay" or similar purposes.

ix-one prohibits the running of a public recursive DNS service on any ix-one server. All recursive DNS servers must be secured to allow only internet network access or a limited set of IP addresses. ix-one actively scans for the presence of public DNS services and reserves the right to remove any servers from the network that violate this restriction.
