Acceptable Use Policy

1. Introduction

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs the content you may host and the activities you may conduct on iWebVault Technologies services. iWebVault operates offshore infrastructure that is DMCA-ignored and privacy-focused, meaning a broad range of content is permitted. This policy defines the narrow set of activities that are not.

The AUP is part of our Terms of Service. Violation may result in account suspension or termination.

2. What is permitted

iWebVault's offshore, DMCA-ignored infrastructure supports a wide range of content and activities that may be restricted on conventional hosting platforms, including but not limited to:

• Content that has received DMCA takedown requests from US-based rightsholders
• Adult content (18+) where legal in the user's and target audience's jurisdiction
• Journalism, whistleblowing and politically sensitive content
• VPN, proxy and Tor-related services
• Cryptocurrency and blockchain applications
• File sharing, file lockers and streaming platforms
• Forums and community platforms with user-generated content
• Anonymity tools and privacy software
• Affiliate marketing and offers (provided they do not violate Section 3)
• Gambling, betting and gaming applications where legal in the operator's jurisdiction

3. Prohibited content and activities

The following are strictly prohibited on all iWebVault services, regardless of jurisdiction, regardless of whether the activity is legal where you operate:

3.1 Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)

3.2 Terrorism and violent extremism

Content that promotes, facilitates, recruits for or funds terrorist organisations or violent extremist groups is prohibited. This includes propaganda from organisations designated as terrorist by major international bodies, content advocating for mass violence against specific groups, and material that provides operational guidance for terrorist attacks.

3.3 Malware and cyberweapons

Hosting, distributing or operating the following is prohibited:

• Malware (viruses, trojans, worms, ransomware) intended to harm third parties
• Botnet command-and-control infrastructure
• Phishing kits or active phishing pages targeting real institutions
• Exploit frameworks intended for unauthorised access to third-party systems
• Stalkerware or non-consensual surveillance tools

Note: security research, defensive tools and educational malware analysis are permitted when properly contained. If in doubt, contact us before deploying.

3.4 Spam and unsolicited email

Operating bulk unsolicited email (spam) campaigns or hosting infrastructure used primarily for spam distribution is prohibited. This includes:

• Sending bulk email to recipients who did not opt in
• Using purchased or scraped email lists
• Hosting redirect domains for spam campaigns
• Operating "snowshoe" spam infrastructure across multiple accounts

Transactional email and opt-in marketing are permitted.

3.5 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and network attacks

Using iWebVault infrastructure to conduct DDoS, port scanning, brute-force attacks, or other unauthorised access attempts against third parties is prohibited.

3.6 Financial fraud

Operating phishing pages targeting real banks or payment providers, fraudulent investment schemes (HYIPs, Ponzi schemes), fake financial platforms, romance scams, advance-fee fraud, or other content designed to defraud individuals is prohibited.

3.7 Doxxing and harassment infrastructure

Hosting platforms whose primary purpose is doxxing, coordinated harassment, or non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII / "revenge porn") is prohibited.

4. Resource usage

Shared hosting and reseller accounts must not consume excessive server resources in a manner that degrades performance for other customers on the same server.

Specific limits

• CPU usage: sustained CPU usage above your plan's allocated entry-process limits may trigger throttling
• Inodes: excessive file counts (more than 250,000 files) may slow filesystem operations for the entire server
• Mass mailing: sending more than 200 emails per hour from a shared account is not permitted; use a transactional email service or a VPS
• High-concurrency scripts: long-running processes, video transcoding, AI model inference, mining, and similar should be run on VPS or dedicated plans

iWebVault reserves the right to throttle or suspend accounts that create resource contention on shared infrastructure. We will contact you before taking action where possible and offer migration to a more appropriate plan. Immediate action without notice is only taken for runaway processes actively destabilising a server.

5. Enforcement

Violations of this AUP may result in:

• Content removal: for resource-usage issues or minor violations, we may remove the specific offending content
• Account suspension: temporary halt of services pending your response to a violation notice
• Account termination: permanent closure for serious or repeated violations

CSAM-related violations result in immediate termination, evidence preservation and law enforcement notification with no prior warning. All other violations follow a notice-and-response process:

1. We send a violation notice to your account email describing the issue
2. You have 24 hours to respond and remediate
3. If unresolved, we escalate to suspension or termination

We do not proactively monitor hosted content. We respond to verified abuse reports and act where content clearly falls within the prohibited categories above.

6. Appeals

If you believe an enforcement action was taken in error, you may submit an appeal via the support ticket system within 7 days of the action. Appeals are reviewed by a senior staff member not involved in the original decision.

Appeals are not available for CSAM, terrorism or malware violations.

7. Reporting abuse

To report content that violates this AUP, contact us at abuse@iwebvault.com. Please include:

• The specific URL of the violating content
• A description of the violation and the relevant AUP section
• Supporting evidence (screenshots, logs) where appropriate

We will acknowledge reports within 48 hours and investigate within 5 business days. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a violation of our AUP.
