Graphix
Web Design intends to provide its
customers with access to everything the
internet has to offer. Although we do
proactively support the principles of
free speech and the sharing ideas and
values, certain activities are damaging
towards Graphix Web Design and the
internet in general and cannot be
permitted under the guise of free
speech. The resources of Graphix Web
Design and other internet providers are
limited, and abuse by one user can have
a negative impact on the rest of the
community.
We do not routinely monitor activities
of our customers’ accounts except for
the purpose of measuring system and
network usage and performance and the
preparation of billing records. However,
in our efforts to promote good
citizenship within the Internet
community, we will respond appropriately
if we become aware of inappropriate use
of our services.

or virtual hosting sites to publish
material, which Graphix Web Design
determines, at its sole discretion, to
be unlawful, indecent or objectionable.

refers to all forms of communications
including but not limited to, narrative
descriptions, graphics (including
photographs, illustrations, images,
drawings and logos), executable programs
and video and audio recordings.
If your Graphix Web Design account is
used to violate this AUP or our TOS, we
reserve the right to terminate your
service without notice. We prefer to
advise customers of inappropriate
behavior and any necessary corrective
action, however, flagrant violations of
the Acceptable Use Policy will result in
immediate termination of service. Our
failure to enforce this policy, for
whatever reason, shall not be construed
as a waiver of our right to do so at any
time.
As a member of the Internet community,
you must use your access responsibly. If
you have any questions regarding this
policy, please contact us at
abuse@graphixwebdesign.com .

in termination of your account without
refund.

consumption of resources, including CPU
time, memory, disk space or bandwidth.
You may not use resource-intensive
