Specific Acceptable Use Policies are detailed below:
Server Abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or
customer, of BoxerHosting.com is strictly prohibited.
BoxerHosting.com will strongly react to any use or attempted use
of an Internet account or computer without the owner's
authorization. Such attempts include "internet
scamming" (tricking other people into releasing
their passwords), password robbery, security hole
scanning etc.
Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a BoxerHosting.com customer, whether or not the attacked account or
computer belongs to BoxerHosting.com, will result in action
against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings,
account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal
legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.
Abuse of Traffic
Bandwidth will be unrestricted until your usage reaches an average rate of 6GB of network traffic per
month. Thereafter, normal data transfer cost of
$4.00/GB/month will be billed to your account to pay for your
overages and for all subsequent months. If you do not pay for your overages your site will be
disabled within 3 days of your first notice.
Data transfer is measured by measuring the lowest 95% of your traffic patterns.
BoxerHosting.com will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision.
Email Account Maintenance
In addition to the number of POP3 accounts that you may have included with your account,
BoxerHosting.com places the following limitations on all POP3 accounts. All POP3 accounts are limited to 1000 unread email
messages. Any subsequent message delivered to a POP3 account that already has 1000 unread email messages will
be returned to the sender as undeliverable. Additionally, each POP3 account has a 5MB per message limit and a 10MB per
account limit. Any subsequent message delivered to a POP3 account that has reached this limit will
be returned to the sender as undeliverable. Additionally, all POP3 account messages that are older than 30 days are automatically
removed from the server. Your POP3 account should be used as a temporary storage area before downloading them to
your POP3 client such as Microsoft Outlook, Eudora or Netscape Messenger, which you can use to permanently store your messages.
Unsolicited Email (Spam)
Unsolicited
commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, and
will likely result in account suspension or cancellation.
Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet
discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists.
Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or
cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter
for whether advertising is allowed or not.
"Spamming," or sending a message to many
different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical
and will be treated as such.
Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more
than five or six recipients, is by itself spamming unless
the individuals have specifically requested to be added
to a mailing list on that topic. E-mail is a
person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. Upon your
first Spam offense your mail will be disabled for 72 hoursand you will be fined $100.00 per sent Spam.
Upon your second Spam offense your entire domain will be disabled for 72 hours
and you will be fined
$200.00 per sent Spam. Upon your third offense
your account with BoxerHosting.com will be terminated with a fine of $300 per Spam.
No refunds will be given if your account is
terminated for Spam.
Background Running Programs or DLLs
We may allow programs to run continually in the
background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis
and an extra charge will be incurred based on system
resources used and operational maintenance needed.
Rogue Sites
If your site is determined to be causing a detremental affect on other sites on the same server
or other sites on the same network, BoxerHosting.com has the right to immediately suspend operation
of your account until the problem with your site is corrected.
Payment Policies
BoxerHosting.com reserves the right
to change prices at any time, unless other terms have
been agreed upon. Any account not brought current within
a week (7 days) of e-mail notice or exceeding this time
frame in any way is subject to suspension. The customer
is responsible for all money owed on the account from the
time it was established to the time that the customer
notifies BoxerHosting.com in writing for a request for termination
of services. All payment is in U.S. currency.
Cancellation
BoxerHosting.com reserves the right to cancel service at any time.
All fees paid in advance of cancellation are considered payment for
a non-refundable contract for the term of that payment and will NOT be
pro-rated and paid by BoxerHosting.com if the account is cancelled.
Any violation of policies which
results in extra costs will be billed to the customer
(i.e. transfer, space etc.)

payment period. No pro-rated refund will be given if service is cancelled
prior to the end of the full-term contract.
