To this end the parties agree as follows:
US Interspace Internet Services sells server based internet services, i.e.. web site
hosting, ftp site hosting, electronic mail services, etc... We do not sell or provide
support for client based services on our systems, i.e.. web surfing, talk/ntalk, IRC, usenet

The Internet is a network intended for use by the general public. The Customer recognizes
this and undertakes at all times to act with respect, courtesy and responsibility, giving
due regard to the interests and rights of other Internet user groups.
The Customer agrees to obtain a basic knowledge of the Internet and its operating
principles and procedures.
The Customer will avoid violation of certain generally accepted guidelines on Internet
usage such as restrictions on mass mailings and mass advertisements (SPAM mail and

mail bombing or other methods of attempting to deny service or access to other users
(nuke, flash, etc...), and attempts to violate security.
Customers may not use any of our services to make physical threats to any other party.
Customers may not forge e-mail or otherwise impersonate another person while using our

arrangements with US Interspace Internet Services beforehand so that we may better balance
the loads on our machines. Failure to do so cause your site to be shut down until new
