Arthmoor Internet Services: MUD Hosting Terms of Service

    Accounts used for MUD or Web hosting are to be used only for that purpose. No IRC servers or bots are permitted. No graphical game servers are permitted. Anyone found to be running anything other than a standard text based MU* will have their account terminated and all fees paid up to that point forfeited.

    All accounts require the use of SSH2 and SFTP to access the servers for security reasons. You will not be able to work with files using anything else. Standard telnet and ftp will NOT be enabled for anyone.

    The person creating the account is the person who will be held responsible for that account. You may not transfer your account to another party. Anyone found to have done so will have their account terminated with no refund.

    You agree to be bound by the license terms of the codebase you choose to use for your mud. If you are later found to be in violation of these terms by any means, your account will be terminated without refund.

    Requests to change passwords by email, postal mail, or any other method will not be honored. It is up to the account holder to maintain control of their password. This is due to the potential for identity fraud and theft of services. If you don't trust someone, don't give them your password!

    A mud which is found to be consistently draining system resources beyond reasonable limits will have their process killed and an email sent to the account owner. Continued use of a process that consumes more than a reasonable amount of resources will result in account termination with no refund.

    Your account may not be used to send unsolicited emails to anyone, may not be used to house "warez" ( pirated software ), pornographic materials, or be used for hacking into other machines or any other activity which is unlawful. Your account may not be used to store programs used for hacking into other sytems, even if they are not used from your account. Your account also may not be used as a drop point for file transfers to and from external accounts. Anyone found to be in violation will have their account terminated and no refund will be issued.

    Arthmoor Internet Services cannot and will not be held liable for the content of any mud running on its systems.

    Account cancellations:

    Non-Subscription: You must notify us in writing via postal mail, or in email from the original account used to sign up from. Cancellation requests received from improper email accounts WILL NOT BE HONORED due to the potential for identity fraud.

    Subscription: You MUST use the Paypal system to cancel a subscription. Requests to cancel these types of accounts via email WILL NOT BE HONORED under any conditions and you will continue to be responsible for payments to these types of accounts. If you are unable to cancel via Paypal, then you MUST send your cancellation via postal mail. No other methods for cancelling subscription based accounts will be accepted due to potential for identity fraud.

    We make no guarantee as to the stability of the network as we do not have control over what happens upstream from us. We will not be held liable for any damages that may result from the use of our services. You are advised to maintain backups of your work.

    Accounts terminated for non-payment will NOT be archived for future retrieval. We will not be held liable for the loss of your mud if your account is terminated. Again, you are advised to maintain backups of your work.

    We reserve the right to amend these polices at any time. All customers will be expected to comply with the current policies in effect for as long as their accounts are active.
