The Services provided by AntForce may only be used for lawful purposes. You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with your use of the Services. AntForce reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at our sole discretion. Any material or conduct that in our judgment violates this AUP in any manner may result in suspension or termination of the Services or removal of content with or without notice.

Failure to respond to a communication from our abuse department within the specified time period in our communication to you may result in the suspension or termination of the Services.

      1. Accessing another network without permission, including to probe or scan for vulnerabilities or breach security or authentication measures;

      2. Attacking other networks (e.g., utilizing botnets or other means to launch Denial of Service (DoS) or other attacks);

    4. Storage of Backups
      You may not use your hosting account as a backup solution. Our Services are designed to host your website only and may not be used as a data repository. AntForce reserves the right to remove backups from your hosting account with or without notice.

    4. A failure to respond to an email from our abuse team within forty-eight (48) hours, or as otherwise specified in the communication to you, may result in the suspension or termination of your Services.

    5. Websites hosted on AntForce's servers in the U.S. are generally governed by U.S. law. As a web host, AntForce is not the publisher of user generated content and we are not in a position to investigate the veracity of individual defamation claims. Rather, we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is defamatory. In any case in which a court of competent jurisdiction, as determined in AntForce's sole discretion, orders material to be removed, AntForce will disable access to such material.

    6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AntForce users are responsible for using the Services in compliance with applicable laws in their jurisdiction, including without limitation, any laws relating to defamation, unsolicited emails, spamming, privacy, obscenity, and intellectual property infringement. AntForce reserves the right to take local legal considerations into account and to respond accordingly in AntForce's sole discretion.

    7. Enforcement of this AUP is at AntForce's sole discretion.
