harm to a server, or customer, of Davesurf
Productions is strictly prohibited.
2. Davesurf Productions will strongly
react to any use or attempted use of
an Internet account or computer without
the owner's authorization. Such attempts
include but are not limited to "Internet
scamming" (tricking other people
into releasing their passwords), password
robbery, security hole scanning.
3. You understand that any unauthorized
use of accounts or computer, whether
or not the attacked account or computer
belongs to Davesurf Productions, will
result in action against the attacker.
Possible actions include warnings, account
cancellation, and civil or criminal
legal action, depending on the seriousness
of the attack.

are not allowed in e-mail, and will

See the newsgroup or mailing list's
charter for whether advertising is allowed
or not.
2. "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.

Spam. Upon your first Spam offense your
account will be terminated and a maintenance
fee of $1000 will be billed to your

is due to the enormous amount of time

to the customer's method of payment
upon sign up. If you paid by credit
card you agree to accept this/these

to, files with the extension .zip, .exe,
etc.
4. Davesurf Productions will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of this provision.

or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
If one is found to be operating, it
will be removed and your account terminated
without prior notice to you.

and system resources used by chat rooms,
