Likewise, the sending of UBE from another service

used to solicit customers from, or collect replies to,
messages sent from another Internet Service Provider
where those messages violate this Policy or that of the

Unsolicited advertising via email and/or "Spamming" is a
violation of State and Federal Law and is otherwise a
violation of this agreement. This includes referencing
domains hosted on MyWebDoor servers in said spam. Such
prohibited conduct subjects Customer to immediate
termination of service as provided herein and the
termination of this agreement without notice. MyWebDoor
reserves the right to report such illegal activities to
any and all regulatory, administrative and/or
governmental authorities for appropriate prosecution. In
addition, MyWebDoor has the right to charge one dollar
(US$1.00) per email recipient for any such activity.

| Adult Content |
We do not host porn/adult websites.
We do allow erotic photography, erotic art and other
adult material. You are responsible for making sure that
you provide proper warnings and disclaimers concerning
the contents of your website. Our definition of a porn
website is a website that sells memberships to access
adult images and video or a website that is solely setup
to distribute adult images and video. Most porn websites
in general tend to have a heavy load on the server
because they attempt to attract as much traffic as
possible to the website and the visitors to these
websites in turn download a high volume of files. We
avoid hosting any websites that may have a adverse
affect on the performance of our servers and the
websites they host.
The Customer expressly understands and agrees that
MyWebDoor is not liable for legal action taken against
Customer websites that have content featuring nudity
and/or of a sexual nature.
If you're sill not sure how we would classify your
website, then enter a support ticket through our Help
Desk, referencing the url of your website and we'll let
you know if it is the type of website that we will host. |

activities to any and all regulatory, administrative
and/or governmental
authorities for appropriate prosecution.
In general, we do not host public download websites, ie
websites that exist specifically to enable people to
download files,
ie mp3's, ROMs, emulators, video games, cheats etc.
