Please note that from time to time, it will be necessary for us to perform essential maintenance or upgrades to the infrastructure.

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
As a provider of web site hosting and other Internet-related services, we offer our customers and users the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial and non-commercial information. We respect that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information. However, when there are competing interests at issue, we reserve the right to take certain preventive or corrective actions.
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 it, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others.
When customer and users obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that we cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information they acquire. For this reason, the customers and user 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 may be sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because we cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, we cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers resulting from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive or illegal Internet communications.
When subscribers disseminate information from the Internet, they must keep in mind that we do not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information its customers and users 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 created is carried over our network and may reach a large number of people, including both our subscribers and non-subscribers, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other customers and users and may affect our goodwill, business, reputation or operations.
For these reasons, subscribers violate our policy and these terms when they, their customers, affiliates or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:
Spamming
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward LIFESTYLEHOST, but also because it can overload our network and disrupt service to our subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, we will investigate and suspend the account that is sending spam and reserve the right to keep the account suspended until such time that the account no longer sends spam.
Audio/Video Streaming
Audio/Video Streaming is not hosting friendly. As such, we do not allow any extreme streaming of audio or video content where the core files are hosted on our platform. Offending accounts will be suspended without noticed or terminated.
File Storage / Online Backups
We do not permit the use of our platform for the storage of backup or archival data, mirror sites, personal multimedia content such as movies, music, photos or other media. Your account and any sub-accounts may be used for genuine web hosting purposes only. Any content which is unrelated to your website is not permitted.
We do not permit the use of our shared hosting as an e-mail archival system and you may be asked to remove e-mail, archive e-mail to your computer or upgrade to a VPS solution if it is determined your account is being used as such.
Peer-to-peer media (including files) sharing or streaming
We do not permit the use of our platform for peer-to-peer file or media sharing, BitTorrent, Tor or other such forms of data transmission.
Obscene Speech or Materials
Using our network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material is prohibited. We are required by law to notify law enforcement agencies if we become aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through our network.
Defamatory or Abusive Language
Using our network as a means to transmit or post negative, defamatory, harassing, abusive or threatening language or information.
Forging of Headers
Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.
Illegal or Unauthorised Access to Other Computers or Networks
Accessing, illegally or without authorisation, 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 may 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 Engaging in Other Destructive Activities
Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing or denial of service (DDOS) 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.
Destructive activities include inviting, either directly or indirectly, an attack (such as a DDOS) against our platform. Such invitations include inviting third parties to attempt to compromise the security of our platform or knowingly participating in an external attack (such as a DDOS) which results in retaliatory action from a third-party.
Facilitation 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, mail bombing, denial of service attacks and piracy of software.
Usenet Groups
We reserve 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, but not limited to, advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, publishing or threatening to publish private data and pirating software.
Other Activities
Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that we determine to be harmful to our customers, users, subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill or customer relations.
As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities just described rests primarily with the customers and users. We will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of our customers and users to ensure that they comply with our policy or applicable law. However, when we become aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, suspension or termination of hosting services, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or any other action we deem appropriate.
We are also aware that many of our customers and users are themselves providers of Internet services, and that information reaching our facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third party. We do not require our customers and users who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of our customers and users. We reserve the right to directly take action against a customer or user. Also, we may take action against the our customer or user because of activities of a customer or user, even though the action may affect other customers or users. Similarly, we anticipate that customers and users who offer Internet services will cooperate with us in any corrective or preventive action that we deem necessary. Failure to co-operate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of our policy.
We will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by our subscribers, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. We may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, we 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 subject to Data Protection and other UK legislation.
We assume no obligation to inform the customers and users that information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, we may disclose customer and user information or information transmitted over our network where necessary to protect us and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, we will never sell information to other services or outside companies.
Finally, we wish to emphasise that, in accepting these terms and placing an order, customers and users indemnify LIFESTYLEHOST for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or LIFESTYLEHOST policy resulting in loss to LIFESTYLEHOST or the bringing of any claim against LIFESTYLEHOST by any third party. This means that, if we are sued because of a customers or users activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against us, plus costs and reasonable legal and solicitors' fees.
We hope this is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including LIFESTYLEHOST and its customers and users as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a customer or user violation of these terms should be sent to ' support AT lifestylehost.co.uk '.
