- Websites which have Adult Material of any sort, including
links to adult websites are stricly prohibited. We define "adult material" as
pornography, nudity and sex-related merchandising.
- MP3 files are strictly forbidden from our servers. There are
no exceptions made to this rule as it exists to protect ourselves from any copyright
infringement problems.

limited to, warez, hacking, serial numbers, cracks, or information which violates any
local, state, federal, or U.S. export restriction laws.
- Any processes executed which run in the background from the
command line, including IRC Bots.
- Because of increased contraversy surrounding Emulators/Roms,
we do not allow any websites pertaining to Emulators/Roms. These issues usually have to do
with copyright violations and we prohibit any websites distributing Emulators or Roms.

mirroring another website.
- Links to adult websites, MP3 sites, warez sites, or hacking
websites.
- Sending unsolicited e-mail, or "spam" through our

not.

|
Materials distributed on your website cannot infringe upon
another groups copyrights. This especially includes distributing copyright software, or
"warez", also know as pirated software, MP3 files which usually consist of
copyrighted music, and Emulators/ROMs. Please ensure that your website consists of your
own work and none of the contents on your website do not infringe upon anyone else's
copyrights.
The best policy is good judgement. Do not copy anyone else's images unless free of
copyrights, distribute MP3 files or pirated software. |
Websites found in violation of
this policy are subject account termination without notice.

| Excessive CPU Run Time/RAM
Usage |
|
With the growing popularity of CGI scripts, problems arise
with CGI scripts which consume too much CPU run time and/or RAM. This is true regardless
of the amount of system resources.
While CGI scripts can create dymanic features on your website, they can also have a
detrimental effect on system performance. Poorly written CGI scripts can have infinite
loops or other problems which causes them to run non-stop or use as much RAM as possible.
It is important that you obtain CGI scripts from these popular free CGI script archives
with care. Make sure your code is efficient and operates normally.
We will have no problem with any free CGI scripts obtained from the following archives:
- Matt's Script Archive
- CGI-World
We cannot speak for any other free archives. It is your responsibility to ensure all
CGI scripts operate efficiently, so be careful of what free CGI scripts you run on your
site!
Under circumstances where a script is using as much of the CPU and RAM available, we will
disable the program to prevent this from having an adverse effect on the server. If these
incidences continue, we will be forced to terminate your account.
Additionally, the following types of CGI scripts are
prohibited:
- CGI scripts which upload files from the web to your account. These scripts can be
potential security problems.
- CGI scripts which serve a chatroom applications because they are system resource
problems, having to refresh every few seconds for each client in the chatroom.

| Practical Knowledge |
|
All users should have a general knowledge
of how to create and maintain their sites. Marks International is only your service
provider. We do not teach you how to create HTML or use Java or any other programs that
you may use in the process of creating your site. We will be more than happy to help with some
questions and problems you may encounter. We offer CGI and Java Script installation billed
out at $45.00 per hour. Our main priority is to make sure everything on the server
is running 100%. Being flooded with tons of Emails asking How Do I? would not allow us to
dedicate our time to the more important issues. If you encounter server related problems
contact us immediately and give a full description of the problem and any error messages
you may have received.
