SPECIFIC ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES
UNAUTHORIZED USE
OzeWebHost will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or
computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "social
engineering" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password
cracking, security hole scanning etc.
Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by an OzeWebHost customer, whether or not
the attacked account or computer belongs to OzeWebHost, will result in action against the
attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil
or criminal legal action, according to the seriousness of the attack.

ZERO TOLERANCE
OzeWebHost's policy concerning unsolicited email and posting of adult content is immediate
cancellation. If you engage in any of these activities on our network, your services will
be terminated immediately, with no prior notice, and no refunds for unused portions of
service will be granted.
This policy has been developed not as a limit to network traffic, but as an issue of
Internet etiquette and is adhered to (and enforced) by most ethical service providers.

maintaining very large ratios of bandwidth and disk space per customer. In rare cases,

instances, OzeWebHost reserves the right to impose the High Resource User Policy for the
