SoxDomains.com may change these policies at any time and updates will be posted at the applicable published policy.

Introduction

These Acceptable Use Policies define acceptable conduct and the actions SoxDomains.com may take when a Service is misused. They apply separately from the DNS Abuse Policy. Customers must not use any Service for malware, phishing, pharming, spam, botnets, credential theft, child sexual abuse material, copyright or trademark infringement, fraud, unlawful goods or services, attacks, unauthorized access, infrastructure abuse, DNS abuse, email abuse, sanctions evasion where applicable, or any activity prohibited by law or binding provider requirements.

SoxDomains.com may preserve evidence, investigate, request remediation, restrict traffic, suspend the affected Service, notify the customer or upstream provider, terminate for repeated or severe violations, or report to a competent authority. Measures will be selected according to the evidence, urgency, harm, technical control and risk of collateral impact; immediate action may be taken when necessary to stop ongoing harm.

1. Security
   1. Client’s use of the service is at Client’s own risk.
   2. Client takes full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on SoxDomains.com’s infrastructure.
   3. Client is responsible for all use of its own account(s) and keeping all passwords safe and confidential, and setting file protections correctly.
   4. If a password is lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, SoxDomains.com will suspend access or change Client account access immediately following notification by Client.
   5. SoxDomains.com is not responsible for any usage or charges prior to the notification and account alteration.
   6. SoxDomains.com makes email as safe as it possibly can, but no computer network can ever be considered completely safe from intrusion. Knowing this and that all email may pass through many computer networks it should not be considered a secure communication unless encrypted, and even then it is only as secure as the encryption method used.
2. Non-Transferability of Account

   The right to use SoxDomains.com’s accounts is expressly limited to the Client whose name appears on the SOF and is not transferrable.

3. Unacceptable Conduct

   The following types of conduct by Client are grounds for immediate suspension of service pending investigation by SoxDomains.com and may result in termination without refund for any and all accounts held by the Client (individual, corporation, or Website) found to be in violation. Client’s business relationships (referrers, associates, etc.) impacting SoxDomains.com are also Client’s responsibility, and client will make sure that they immediately cease non-compliant actions or Client discontinues its association with them. Continuing violations by Client's business relationships may result in SoxDomains.com, at its discretion, having to terminate the Client relationship without refund.

Spamming or harassment: sending unsolicited bulk or commercial messages, using purchased recipient lists, operating an open relay, concealing the sender or routing information, repeatedly posting off-topic or abusive material, or continuing conduct that produces substantiated complaints.
