Without limiting the scope of the above, GoWeb forbids the storage of illegal/pirated software (warez), the use of any type of IRC bot and/or proxy (including, but not limited to, bnc and eggdrop), the storage and use of any type of software intended for hacking/cracking purposes and the storage or sale of bulk e-mail lists intended for spamming or resale purposes.

If the misuse is unintentional, the suspension may be rescinded following discussion with GoWeb's Operations Manager. If the misuse is intentional, the suspension may be rescinded at the discretion of the Operations Manager, and may require the payment of a service reconnection charge. Occasionally, unintentional misuse is misclassified as intentional misuse. ACCOUNT HOLDERs who believe their activity has been misclassified may appeal to the Operations Manager. However, spamming activities will result in immediate termination of services to Account Holder.

You are expected to report to GoWeb any information you may have concerning instances in which the conditions of use have been or are being violated.

At the same time, in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity, GoWeb may suspend access to services to the individual account in question.
