ETHICS

We have some super-sensitive information on our systems and we take that responsibility seriously. Providing secure servers and a secure physical environment is the least we can do to help protect our clients data. We try to help customers ensure that they have secure passwords on their accounts and of course, we monitor our systems constantly in case of any unlikely malicious attack.

Company Policies

At Lis Hosting we pay close attention to the latest developments in Internet Law and make sure that all of our operations run in concordance with those laws. Please peruse these documents, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us.

Acceptable Use Policy

As a provider of web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, Lis Hosting offers its customers (also known as subscribers), and their customers and users, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. Lis Hosting respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, Lis Hosting reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, Lis Hosting has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing Lis Hosting's services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of Lis Hosting's services after changes to the AUP are posted on Lis Hosting's web site, www.Lishosting.com.au, will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.

One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that Lis Hosting cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because Lis Hosting cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, Lis Hosting cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.

When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that Lis Hosting does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over Lis Hosting's network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and nonsubscribers of Lis Hosting, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may harm Lis Hosting's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate Lis Hosting policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming -- Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming"). It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward Lis Hosting, but also because it can overload Lis Hosting's network and disrupt service to Lis Hosting subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, Lis Hosting has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list.

Adult Material -- Because the Internet is a global communication tool it is difficult to dictate what is considered "adult material." However, it is not our function to discriminate against those who choose to utilize adult content or adult related material. This being said, there are still several reasons why Lis Hosting has been forced to create its no adult sites policy for its virtual server users.

What does Lis Hosting consider "Adult Material?"

Any site whose revenue is gained in part or whole from its adult content.
Photos or videos showing frontal nudity on either men or women for non-scientific or non-artistic purposes.

Revenue-generating hyperlinks to sites who violate policy #1.

Intellectual Property Violations -- Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. Lis Hosting is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also Lis Hosting's policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.

Obscene Speech or Materials -- Using Lis Hosting's network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material. Lis Hosting is required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through Lis Hosting's network.

Background Running Programs -- Background Daemons in general are prohibited on Lis Hosting servers, including, but not limited to, IRC bots, eggdrop, BitchX, XiRCON, warez sites and any other program that interferes with normal server operation. Lis Hosting will be the sole arbitor of what consitutes a violation of the above policy.

Defamatory or Abusive Language -- Using Lis Hosting's network as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.

Forging of Headers -- Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks -- Accessing illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's system (often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities -- Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mailbombing, or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service, or equipment.

Facilitating a Violation of this AUP -- Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mailbombing, denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.

Export Control Violations -- Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.

Usenet Groups -- Lis Hosting reserves the right not to accept postings from newsgroups where we have actual knowledge that the content of the newsgroup violates the AUP.

Other Illegal Activities -- Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, and pirating software.

Other Activities -- Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that Lis Hosting determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. Lis Hosting will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that they comply with Lis Hosting policy or applicable law. When Lis Hosting becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.

Lis Hosting also is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, Lis Hosting urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. Lis Hosting cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over Lis Hosting's facilities.

Lis Hosting will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its subscribers unless required to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. Lis Hosting may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, Lis Hosting may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or governmental request. Lis Hosting assumes no obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, Lis Hosting may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect Lis Hosting and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.

A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate Lis Hosting policy. Finally, Lis Hosting wishes to emphasize that in signing the service agreement, subscribers indemnify Lis Hosting for any violation of the service agreement, law, or Lis Hosting policy, that results in loss to Lis Hosting or the bringing of any claim against Lis Hosting by any third-party. This means that if Lis Hosting is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will pay any damages awarded against Lis Hosting, plus costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including Lis Hosting and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to abuse@Lis Hosting.com.au.

Lis Hosting Privacy Policy

Lis Hosting's policies and procedures for handling customer information have been created with the understanding that Internet technologies are still evolving and that Internet business methods are continuing to evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the changing technologies. As a result, Lis Hosting's policies and procedures are subject to change.

In the course of serving its customers, Lis Hosting acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address and telephone number - is provided to Lis Hosting by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by Lis Hosting in the normal course of providing service. Lis Hosting also uses cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on a user's computer for various reasons. For example, Lis Hosting uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form. This information is then forwarded to an internal sales tracking database within Lis Hosting. In addition, Lis Hosting may store customers' electronic mail and other communications as a necessary incident to the transmission and delivery of those communications.

Data Security

Lis Hosting will protect the confidentiality of its customers' information, account information and personal communications to the fullest extent possible and consistent with the law and the legitimate interests of Lis Hosting, its partners, its employees and other customers of Lis Hosting's services. To protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information that is collected from customers, Lis Hosting has appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place.

How is customer information used?

Lis Hosting may use customer information to provide its customers with system information or information about new or upgraded products. Lis Hosting is the sole owner of any information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in any ways.

Disclosure of customer information and communications

Lis Hosting will not otherwise disclose its customers' personal and account information unless Lis Hosting has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of Lis Hosting, Lis Hosting's customers, or others, or where Lis Hosting has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.

Lis Hosting also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that Lis Hosting stores or transmits for its customers. The circumstances under which Lis Hosting will disclose such electronic customer communications are when:

it is necessary in order to provide service to the customer;
it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Lis Hosting and its customers;
it is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process that Lis Hosting determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable;
it is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by Lis Hosting and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.
Lis Hosting disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by customers or others. Lis Hosting will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm Lis Hosting, its customers or third parties. The grounds on which Lis Hosting may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of Lis Hosting's Acceptable Use Policy.

CGI Abuse Policy

Our servers are not your testing platforms. User accounts are on high end, live server responsible for maintaining many accounts. Your server space is being provided to display your finished product to the web - NOT for testing purposes. If you are uploading a script to our server, you acknowledge that you have already tested your script elsewhere and that you know how to install the script.

Any script that the on duty administrator deems to be potentially threatening to the overall performance of our web server will be terminated immediately and your account access will be locked out. When scripts are executed that are potentially harmful to the server in the long term, the offending account will be terminated immediately without a refund of any pre-paid fees. A termination includes the purging of all files.

Please note the following cgi usage policies:
The script must use low system resources. Scripts that consume a large amount of server memory or CPU power will be subject to termination, and/or additional fee.
Each user account may not use more than 1% of system resources at any given time. Scripts may not interact with any server configuration or hardware. Users running scripts that interact with any server configuration or any hardware will be subject to immediate cancellation of the user account without refund.
The script can be used and referenced from any site on the Net (i.e. free counters, etc.) however, scripts must stay within the allowable usage of our system resources. Users using more resources than a single user account is entitled to use will be assessed additional monthly charges.
The script must be executed in a timely fashion. Any script that uses the processor for more than a few milliseconds is subject to removal.
Scripts must be secure. Unnecessarily chmoding scripts to 777 is a policy violation. Placing scripts in a publicly viewable directory (one without an index.html files) is a policy violation.
Any accounts with scripts found in violation of any Lis Hosting policy are subject to future scrutiny of all cgi by our system administrator. If a script is found to be harmful to the system, it will be killed immediately and the account locked until the account owners have been contacted. Any time spent by Lis Hosting stuff to kill a script and/or to lock an account will be billed to the account at a rate of $50.00 per hour. Malicious scripts are subject to immediate account cancellation.
Banned Scripts List:

Due to their use of flat files instead of databases, Lis Hosting does not allow the use any of cgi based message boards including but not limited to:
Ikonboard
UBB
YABB
Use of these boards for large or very active forums, results in system performance degradation, and cannot be allowed in our shared server environment. Lis Hosting suggests using IBForums, VBulletin or phpBB as a more efficient, database-driven alternative to these bulletin boards.

UCE / SPAM Policy

The abuse and misuse of e-mail is a serious problem, and Lis Hosting will not tolerate it.

Definition of UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail), or SPAM:
The bulk UCE, promotional material, or other forms of solicitation sent via e-mail that advertise any IP address belonging to Lis Hosting or any URL (domain) that is hosted by Lis Hosting.
Unsolicited postings to newsgroups advertising any IP or URL hosted by Lis Hosting.
The use of webpages set up on ISPs that allow SPAM-ing (also known as "ghost sites") that directly or indirectly reference customers to domains or IP addresses hosted by Lis Hosting.
Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to facilitate a means to SPAM.
Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the true origin of the message.
For further information on mail abuse, please visit the Mail Abuse Prevention System (MAPS) website.

Repercussions of SPAM:
Across the Web, it is generally accepted that SPAM is an inconsiderate and improper business practice.

Lis Hosting:

SPAM is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward Lis Hosting, but also because it can overload Lis Hosting's network and resources.

Our Providers:

Since it is unsolicited, users who receive SPAM often become angry and send complaints to our upstream providers. This upsets our providers who abhor SPAM for the same reasons that Lis Hosting does - it causes negative consumer attitudes and drains resources. We strive to maintain favorable business relationships in the Web community and obviously will not allow any practice that threatens these relationships.

Punishment For SPAM:

Lis Hosting reserves the right to terminate, without warning, any account that violates this policy. Usage of Lis Hosting services constitutes acceptance and understanding of this policy.

Lis Hosting may, at its option, charge $25.00 per SPAM complaint we receive about our customers. These are non-refundable charges and will be invoiced at the time of complaint notification.

Lis Hosting reserves the right to decide what it considers "SPAM", "UCE", "mail bombing", or "bulk e-mail", and to determine from all of the evidence whether or not the e-mail recipients were from an "opt-in" e-mail list.

Should you choose to e-mail from Lis Hosting servers, especially if you use mailing lists, you must read and adhere to the following guidelines, which are offered as a statement of Internet standards and best current practices for proper mailing list management and preventing e-mail abuse.

Basic Mailing List Management Principles for Preventing Abuse

Mailing lists are an excellent vehicle for distributing focused, targeted information to an interested, receptive audience. Consequently, mailing lists have been used successfully as a highly effective direct marketing tool.

Unfortunately, some marketers misuse mailing lists through a lack of understanding of Internet customs and rules of the forum pertaining to e-mail. Others fail to take adequate precautions to prevent the lists they manage from being used in an abusive manner.
The e-mail addresses of new subscribers must be confirmed or verified before mailings commence. This is usually accomplished by means of an e-mail message sent to the subscriber to which s/he must reply, or containing a URL which s/he must visit, in order to complete the subscription. However it is implemented, a fundamental requirement of all lists is the verification of all new subscriptions.
Mailing list administrators must provide a simple method for subscribers to terminate their subscriptions, and administrators should provide clear and effective instructions for unsubscribing from a mailing list. Mailings from a list must cease promptly once a subscription is terminated.
Mailing list administrators should make an "out of band" procedure (e.g., a means of contact by which messages may be sent for further correspondence via e-mail or telephone) available for those who wish to terminate their mailing list subscriptions but are unable or unwilling to follow standard automated procedures.
Mailing list administrators must ensure that the impact of their mailings on the networks and hosts of others is minimized by proper list management procedures such as pruning of invalid or undeliverable addresses, or taking steps to ensure that mailings do not overwhelm less robust hosts or networks.
Mailing list administrators must take adequate steps to ensure that their lists are not used for abusive purposes. For example, administrators can maintain a "suppression list" of e-mail addresses from which all subscription requests are rejected. Addresses would be added to the suppression list upon request by the parties entitled to use the addresses at issue. The purpose of the suppression list would be to prevent subscription of addresses appearing on the suppression list by unauthorized third parties. Such suppression lists should also give properly authorized domain administrators the option to suppress all mailings to the domains for which they are responsible.
Mailing list administrators must make adequate disclosures about how subscriber addresses will be used, including whether or not addresses are subject to sale or trade with other parties. Once a mailing list is traded or sold, it may no longer be an opt-in mailing list. Therefore, those who are acquiring "opt-in" lists from others must examine the terms and conditions under which the addresses were originally compiled and determine that all recipients have in fact opted-in specifically to the mailing lists to which they are being traded or sold.
Mailing list administrators should make adequate disclosures about the nature of their mailing lists, including the subject matter of the lists and anticipated frequency of messages. A substantive change in either the subject matter or frequency of messages may constitute a new and separate mailing list requiring a separate subscription. List administrators should create a new mailing list when there is a substantive change in either the subject matter or frequency of messages. A notification about the new mailing list may be appropriate on the existing mailing list, but existing subscribers should never be subscribed automatically to the new list. For example, if Company A acquires Company B, and Company B has compiled opt-in mailing lists, Company A should not summarily incorporate Company B's mailing lists into its own.
*This SPAM (UCE) Accepted Use Policy and all other Lis Hosting policies are subject to change by Lis Hosting without notice. Continued usage of the services after a change to this policy is implemented and posted on the Lis Hosting site constitutes your acceptance of such change or policy.
