is also true for Sites that promote any illegal activity or
content that may be damaging to Getforme Internet's Servers or any
other Server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also
prohibited. In addition, any Site Selling or promoting Bulk eMail

Customers may not use the Getforme Internet Network with an
attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host,
network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to,
accessing data not intended for the Customer, logging into a
Server or Account the Customer is not expressly authorized to

service to any User, Host or Network. This includes, but is not

Network Security at other sites, including cooperating with Law
Enforcement Authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal
violations. Users who violate System or Network Security may incur

Each Getforme Internet Account comes fully equipped with its own
pre-configured CGI-Bin. Customers are free to use any CGI-Scripts
provided with their account or add any additional ones they
require. Any CGI-Scripts deemed to be adversely affecting the
Server performance or the Network integrity may be shut down
without prior notice. CGI-Script sharing with Domains not hosted
by Getforme Internet is not allowed.
Chat Rooms
Getforme Internet prohibits its Customers from installing outside
chat rooms on their Domain, as these tend to be a resource
problem. Getforme Internet does provide its Customers a choice of
Java Chat rooms to choose from for a monthly charge. These chat
rooms were designed to meet the growing needs of Customers and
function without hindering the performance of the Servers for
others.
Server
Resources

but not limited to CPU Time, Memory Usage, and Network Resources)
will be given an option of either upgrading their service level or
reducing the resource used to an acceptable level.

IRC or IRC Bots on any of the Servers in the SingaporeServers
Network.

Equipment or any Getforme Internet eMail Address in connection
with the transmission of spam, flames, mail bombs, or
substantially similar, unsolicited email messages. Your Domain may
not be referenced as originator, intermediary, or reply-to address
in any of the above. This prohibition extends to the sending of
unsolicited mass mailings from another service that in any way
implicates the use of the Getforme Internet Network, Getforme
Internet Equipment or any Getforme Internet eMail Address. A
message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of
a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not
requested or invited the message. For purposes of this provision,
merely making one's email address accessible to the public will
not constitute a request or invitation to receive messages.

right to disable your Domain. In addition, Getforme Internet may
impose a S$200 penalty for each spam policy violation. Getforme
Internet solely reserves the right to refuse or cancel service to

result in cancellation of services without refund.
