The Services provided by OKay may only be used for lawful purposes. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with your use of the Services.

This includes, but is not limited to, the unauthorized copying or distribution of movies, music, books, photographs, software/warez, or any other copyrighted work. Selling or offering to sell any counterfeit merchandise will result in the immediate termination of your account. Any account found to be infringing on the intellectual property rights of others will be expeditiously removed or access to the material will be disabled.

Any material found to host child pornography or linking to child pornography will be suspended immediately without notice.

Other Prohibited Content

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our Terms of Service or this AUP in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.

SECTION 3 - UNACCEPTABLE RESOURCE USAGE

You may not:

• Use twenty-five percent (25%) or more of our system resources for longer than ninety (90) seconds at a time. Activities that could cause this excessive use, include but are not limited to CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
• Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
• Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
• Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
• Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
• Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
• Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc.
• Run cron entries with intervals of less than fifteen (15) minutes.
• Run any MySQL queries longer than fifteen (15) seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.
• Include the URL when using PHP include functions for including a local file. Instead of including 'http://yourdomain.com/include.php', use 'include.php' or '/home/username/public_html/include.php'.
• Force HTML to handle server-side code (like PHP and sHTML) to help reduce usage.
• Use https protocol unless it is necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.

SECTION 4 - ZERO TOLERANCE SPAM POLICY

We take a zero-tolerance stance against the sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. "Safe lists," purchased lists, and selling of lists will be treated as spam. We may terminate the account of any User who sends out spam with or without notice. 

Websites or Servers advertised via spam (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to, spam sent via fax, phone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any User account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.

OKay reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary, any website, account, database, or any other component that does not comply with our policies, or to make any such modifications in an emergency that we deem necessary at our sole discretion.

OKay reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean up fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal at our sole discretion.

SECTION 5 - DEFAMATION POLICY

Any service hosted on OKay's servers are regulated by the law of Canada or the country where the server resides.
