You have the right to retain on your virtual or dedicated server: any and all files that you seek to hold that do not violate the following rules. Customers are prohibited from transmitting on or through any of Simson’s, any material that is, in Simson’s sole discretion: unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, encourages criminal mischief, gives rise to civil liability, or otherwise violates any local, state, federal, or international law and/or treaties. In short, Simson’s services may only be used for lawful activities.
  Simson does not allow connection to, or use of, any software or ‘bots’ for IRC or the reselling of ’shell accounts’. These are deemed as a high security risks and if found will result in account suspension or termination with no refunds under any circumstances.

Simson does not seek to abridge any users rights, but we uphold any and all laws applicable to the content of sites hosted on our servers and/or network. Simson reserves the right to deny service without cause for sites with adult content that we deem violates local, state, or federal law. Simson does take an active role in monitoring all sites via the web for content that does not comply with the preceding guidelines. Simson specifically retains the right to make the final decision in any matter relating to site content.
• Network: Our servers were designed to give you the maximum freedom of administration and access to the Internet at the lowest cost available. Our network usage is open to all Simson users. High Network traffic or throughput is not a problem at Simson, but extreme network traffic or extreme uploading and downloading can create problems. Your maximum throughput allowed by your website is an estimate of your usage. You are allowed to exceed your maximum usage if total usage at the end of the month will not cross the double what you have been allotted. If you know in advance due to advertising, publicity, or general interest that your throughput will exceed 2 times the amount allowable by your plan, please contact us in advance. This will ensure no downtime and maximum availability of your website at all times. We can upgrade you to another service plan or make other arrangements to save you money and to ensure your site is available at all times.
• Cracking/Hacking: Simson’s customers may not use our network to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the customer, logging into a server or account the customer is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security of other networks or directly violating the security policy of another organization. Customers are also not allowed to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network by flooding, mail bombing, or attempts to overload or crash the host network. Any violation of the network guidelines set forth will result in deactivation of your services without refunds.
• Mass Mailing: Our mass mailing rules also apply to mailing lists or mailing services you may contract with. Our policy is very clear and simple in this respect, we do not allow mass mailing of any kind from our server. It may be SPAM or not as per your view point. Our mail servers are tuned for normal business communication and not for bulk mailing. It does not matters if you have a huge client base and want to send a news letter to them. If you want to send bulk mail, please do not sign up with us. Simson strictly doesn’t allows any kind of mass mailing.
• Spam: Simson has a zero tolerance policy on SPAM, Junk E-mail or UCE. Spam, Junk-mail and UCE are defined as: the sending of the same, or substantially similar, unsolicited electronic mail message, whether commercial or not, to more than one recipient. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. UCE also includes e-mail with forged headers, compromised mail server relays, and false contact information. This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way implicates the use of the Simson’s servers and/or network. Violation of the above terms will result in one or all of the following:
  • A warning from Simson’s personnel by E-Mail or Telephone (if volume/severity of SPAM is low).
  • NO warning from Simson (if volume/severity of SPAM is high).
  • Removal of DNS for the advertised/originating site
  • Temporary shutdown of the website/server or a block on outgoing mail
  • Permanent disconnection of service WITHOUT REFUND..
  • Immediate disconnection of service with no re-activation

Simson does reserve the right to change the customer IP address designation at any time. The use of an IP Address outside of your assignment by Simson will result in a $250 per hour administrative fee to restore correct IP addressing. This is also viewed as a breach of network security and your account will be taken offline until the problem is resolved.
