L1ght.net :: Acceptable Use Policy

L1ght users are expected configure their systems in a secure manner. Should a user's system be exploited by unauthorized persons, the user is responsible for both reporting the violation (where applicable), as well as fixing the exploited system.

Customers may not interfere with services (e.g. a DoS Attack), whether intentionally or through neglect, of any other host, or network.

The prevention of "unintentional attacks", such as infection by and propagation of computer viruses, are the responsibility of every user.

Users are prohibited from injecting, intentionally or negligently, false or unauthorized network control data into L1ght's network (i.e. in the form of incorrect routing or DNS information).

Users are prohibited from engaging in improper use or distribution of email. Users are strictly prohibited from engaging in any of the following activities:

Sending UBE ("spam") for any purpose whatsoever.

Having third parties send out UBE on any user's behalf ("spamvertizing").

Using L1ght facilities to receive replies from unsolicited emails ("drop-box" accounts).

Configuring any email server in such a way that it will accept third party emails for forwarding ("open mail relay"). If a site has roaming users who wish to use a common mail server, the mail server must be configured to require some form of user identification and authorization. (E.g. SMTP AUTH)

Mass or commercial email may be sent only to recipients who have expressly requested receipt of such emails, by the sending of an email request to the person performing the mass or commercial mailings. This exchanging of requests, acknowledgments, and final confirmations ("confirmed opt-in") must be adhered to in their entirety for any mass or commercial email to be considered permitted by L1ght.

Note: L1ght discourages the sending of bulk mail, and only permits such mailings in rare cases, and then only after Confirmed Opt-In has been verified.

In the absence of positive, verifiable proof to the contrary, which must be provided before the mail campaign is initiated, L1ght considers complaints by recipients of emails to be de-facto proof that the recipient did not subscribe or otherwise request the email(s) about which a complaint was generated.

DMCA Policy

It is the policy of L1ght Networks to respond expeditiously to claims of intellectual property infringement. L1ght Networks will promptly process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under 17 USC §512 ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws. Upon receipt of notices complying with the DMCA, when it is under its control, L1ght Networks will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is claimed to be infringing. L1ght Networks will terminate access for customers who are repeat infringers. Webhosting customers must adopt and implement a DMCA policy that reserves the necessary rights to remove or disable infringing material. If you believe that a copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on our network in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us by providing our registered copyright agent with the following information:

Elements of Notification:
To be effective under this subsection, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the designated agent of a service provider that includes substantially the following:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. [As an electronic signature, L1ght's agent accepts facsimile/fax and digitized image of your signature attached to electronic mail.]
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
dentification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material. [Please include a URL such as http://... or ftp://... identifying the material or representative material. If possible specify any IDs, passwords, or other authorization required to access the material. Please specify date, time, and timezone from which the material was observed. Technicians may require time information in order to identify dynamically assigned internet locations.]
Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices of claimed infringement should be directed to abuse@l1ght.net.

Note: It is assumed that complainants have explicitly requested communication from the L1ght abuse department (abuse@l1ght.net), and that such communication will be pre-authorized by the complainant. If email replies to the complainant are blocked, challenged, or otherwise frustrated, then L1ght will interpret this as a desire by the complainant to cease communication and to withdraw the claim.
