Violation of PMZ Marketing's Web Hosting Acceptable Use Policies will be considered immediate grounds for termination of Services and no refunds will be given.
PMZ Marketing and its hosting partners (hereafter referred to as "PMZ Hosting Providers") provides services to view and use products, services, and other materials made available over the Internet. By its nature, the Internet is designed to permit the expression of a wide variety of commercial and non-commercial messages, as well as purchase and use products, services, and other items. However, the Internet is not owned or controlled by any one entity. PMZ Hosting Providers can not, and does not, monitor or control any Content, including its customer's Content. Use of the Internet, as a provider of Content, or as a user of it, requires a high level of individual judgment. By accessing the Internet, you assume the risk that Content available through PMZ Hosting Providers' services may be inaccurate, offensive, illegal or otherwise unsuitable to your individual tastes, and/or needs. PMZ Hosting Providers can not, and will not, accept responsibility for injury that results from this Content, even if that Content may be legally actionable.
To balance the often competing issues that the nature of the Internet creates, PMZ Hosting Providers has created this Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This AUP governs the use of the services provided by PMZ Hosting Providers, its customers, visitors to PMZ Hosting Providers' web sites, and visitors to customer's web sites (all such collectively referred to as "Users"). It is a part of each customer's agreement with PMZ Hosting Providers and is incorporated by this reference. While this AUP is designed to facilitate open and free use of the Internet, and balance issues presented by that use, PMZ Hosting Providers may take actions based on this AUP that in its sole opinion are in its best business interests, regardless of whether the use itself is legal.
In particular, PMZ Hosting Providers encourages prospective customers to carefully review sections of this AUP covering EMail/SPAM, Intellectual Property Violations, and Security. A thorough review of those sections, and the entire AUP, may help avoid creating issues under it that will cause PMZ Hosting Providers to take action, up to, and including, termination of a customer's account.
Customers violate this AUP when they or their Users engage in activities prohibited by it. It is a customer's responsibility and contractual obligation to ensure that End Users comply with this AUP. PMZ Hosting Providers expects that customers will cooperate with it in the enforcement and administration of this AUP. A customer's failure to do so is a violation of their Agreement.
PMZ Hosting Providers' services may be used for lawful purposes only. Customers and Users may not use PMZ Hosting Providers' services to directly facilitate the violation of any particular law or regulation. Use of PMZ Hosting Providers' services is governed by the laws of Australia, regardless of our physical location or that of the Customer or User.
When using PMZ Hosting Providers to connect to other systems, Customers and/or Users must respect any acceptable use policies, terms of service, terms and conditions or similar restrictions placed on their use by the owners of those systems.
Services we provide may be subject to other acceptable use policies. We will provide these acceptable use polices to you on request.
Any use of Customer's account, server, or any other service provided by PMZ Hosting Providers will be considered use by the individual or entity set out in PMZ Hosting Providers' records as the owner, or principal contact. This individual or entity will be held responsible for all contractual obligations including violations of this AUP. The security of Customer's systems and account details are the responsibility of the customer. The primary contact is considered the owner or authorized user of all data using PMZ Hosting Providers' services.
PMZ Hosting Providers recommends that Customers take steps to ensure that all use of their account and/or server is authorized. This includes restricting physical access to their computers and networks, logging their use, and ensuring that their account details (especially passwords) are stored securely. Connecting a computer to the Internet exposes it to millions of other computers. PMZ Hosting Providers recommends that Customers ensure that their computer is secured against abuse from the Internet. All security related responsibilities are those of the Customer unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. Computers are configured to facilitate their operation in PMZ Hosting Providers' network. This configuration may be less secure than others. Customers are encouraged to review security protocols and ensure that they have selected the security level fitting their needs. PMZ Hosting Providers makes no warranties regarding the security of its network.
The structure and nature of the Internet community changes often. Activities that may at one time have been considered to be acceptable to the general public, may, over time, become unacceptable. PMZ Hosting Providers, Customers, and Users do business in this unstable and unpredictable environment. PMZ Hosting Providers will attempt to give Customers 30 days prior notice of a material change to this AUP. However, because of the nature of the Internet, PMZ Hosting Providers reserves the right to change this AUP without notice. Continued use of PMZ Hosting Providers' services constitutes acceptance of the most current version of the AUP.
It is the responsibility of the customer to notify PMZ Hosting Providers of any changes to their account or contact information. PMZ Hosting Providers has no responsibility for communications that are misdirected as a result of Customer's failure to provide PMZ Hosting Providerswith updated contact information.
Email addresses used to contact PMZ Hosting Providers are set out within this AUP. Please note, that PMZ Hosting Providers has created special addresses for certain types of complaints. Complaints misdirected by a Customer or User may not be responded to. Complaints submitted to PMZ Hosting Providers are not confidential and may be forwarded to PMZ Hosting Providers' customer or law enforcement, without notice. PMZ Hosting Providers does not recognize requests that complaints be kept confidential, and will not honor those requests.
Complaints for which a particular email or other contact address is not specified in this AUP, should be sent to support 'at' pmzmarketing.com.au. Complainants should include as much detail as possible. Relevant Emails or Usenet postings (including all headers) and logs, together with references to charters, acceptable use policies and other supporting evidence should all be included when they are available. Some abuse complaints may not receive a reply depending on the volume of abuse complaints about that particular issue.
PMZ Hosting Providers recognizes that it is often expedient to request that PMZ Hosting Providers take action related to a Customer or User. However, PMZ Hosting Providers is not always in the best position to take action. The fact that a particular activity is prohibited in this AUP does not obligate PMZ Hosting Providers to take any specific action.
Customers warrant that their use of PMZ Hosting Providers' services are authorized, and that they are the lawful owner, or licensee of Content, placed on, or accessed through those services.

The Internet is a robust source for communication between individuals and entities. PMZ Hosting Providers supports the use of Email for legitimate communications in a manner that is generally accepted. The use of Email for unsolicited bulk E-mails is not generally accepted. The use of PMZ Hosting Providers' services to transmit this type of Email is specifically prohibited by this AUP. While differences of opinion may exist on what type of Email communication constitutes unsolicited bulk Email, or SPAM, PMZ Hosting Providers' Customers and End Users are required to abide by the definitions and restrictions in this AUP, regardless of whether a particular type of Email communication is permissible by law or other regulation.
Bulk E-mail is sending of substantively similar Emails to more than 20 Email addresses.

Usenet is a distributed hierarchy of publicly accessible forums primarily defined by RFC1036.
Cross posting is posting a single Usenet message that is marked as appearing in multiple newsgroups.
Multi-posting is repeatedly posting identical or substantively similar messages. Multi-posting is considered bad because each copy of a multi-posting must be separately distributed across Usenet, whereas a cross-posted message need only be transferred once (even though it appears in multiple newsgroups).
If during any 45 day period, a series of substantively similar messages are posted, the first cross-posted to n1 groups, the second to n2 groups, the third to n3 groups, etc. The Briedbart index of that series of postings is calculated as the sum of the square roots of n1, n2, n3, etc.
Any series of substantively similar postings with a Briedbart index greater than 20 constitutes Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP).
PMZ Hosting Providers' systems may not be used for EMP. Customers or others acting on their behalf may not engage in EMP promoting or advertising domain names, URIs or Email addresses hosted by PMZ Hosting Providers.
Many newsgroups have charters which place restrictions on what messages may be posted to them. Charters can be searched for here: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/faqsearch.html.

No refunds are provided for services terminated because of any violations of this AUP.
If practical, PMZ Marketing will contact Customer (either by telephone or Email) before any action is taken. Where PMZ Hosting Providers believes that that the violation was accidental or will not be repeated, PMZ Hosting Providers may, at its discretion, choose to re-enable services. In these circumstances PMZ Hosting Providers may also place restrictions or further conditions on Customer’s use of PMZ Hosting Providers' systems, require a formal undertaking from them regarding their future conduct or require payment to cover costs incurred by PMZ Hosting Providersin dealing with the abuse incident.

UBE and UCE are a total violation of a customer's contract, and will be dealt with firmly by PMZ Hosting Providers. Since it is true that complaints do come in about UBE or UCE and the complainant is actually a valid subscriber there is an allowance as follows: The responsibility lies on Customer to make sure their mailing lists are kept up to date and clean of all non-subscribers. Even responded to warnings under section 16.1.1 below will count against the total for subsequent sections following 16.1.1.
If UBE or UCE generates two or more complaints in one 24-hour period Customer will be notified of those complaints with copies of the reported Emails. This one chance will be given to cease this activity, secure the system from relaying/abuse, or unsubscribe those who filed the complaints.
If UBE or UCE generates five or more complaints in three 24-hour periods service will be suspended for ten days. Customer will be notified of those complaints with copies of the reported Emails. It will be the responsibility of Customer to request reconnection when the ten day suspension period has expired. A reconnection fee, equivalent to the a normal account/service set-up fee, will apply.
If UBE or UCE generates eight or more complaints in five consecutive 24-hour periods the account will be terminated immediately. Notification will be sent after services are terminated.
If UBE or UCE complaints indicate an open relay or open proxy or PMZ Hosting Providers discovers an open relay or open proxy through the course of business Customer will be notified after services are suspended. Restoration of service will require written acknowledgement of the reason for suspension and either:
