While LogicWeb is firmly committed to the principles of free speech, certain activities that may be damaging to the resources of both LogicWeb and the Internet and cannot be permitted under the guise of free speech. The resources of LogicWeb and the Internet are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user has a negative impact on the entire community.

VIOLATIONS OF ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
The following constitute violations of this AUP

LogicWeb’s services may not be used for illegal purposes, or in support of illegal activities. LogicWeb reserves the right to cooperate with legal authorities and/or injured third parties in the investigation of any suspected crime or civil wrongdoing.
Harm to minors
Use of the LogicWeb service to harm, or attempt to harm, minors in any way, including, but not limited to child pornography.
Adult Sites
We prohibit any adult (pornographic) web-sites on our servers. LogicWeb works on Christian morals and ethics and does not allow these form of sites including pedophile sites, sites linking to pornographic sites (outside links) and even pornographic advertisements on your own site. We monitor ALL sites on our servers and will immediately suspend your account if found violating our policy.
Threats
Use of the LogicWeb service to transmit any material (by e-mail, uploading, posting or otherwise) that threatens or encourages bodily harm or destruction of property.
Harassment
Use of the LogicWeb service to transmit any material (by e-mail, uploading, posting or otherwise) that harasses another.
Fraudulent Activity
Use of LogicWeb service to make fraudulent offers to sell or buy products, items, or services, or to advance any type of financial scam such as “pyramid schemes,” “ponzi schemes,” and “chain letters.”
Forgery or impersonation
Adding, removing or modifying identifying network header information in an effort to deceive or mislead is prohibited. Attempting to impersonate any person by using forged headers or other identifying information is prohibited. The use of anonymous remailers or nicknames does not constitute impersonation.
Email “Blast and Mailings
LogicWeb does not allow any form of mailings that are purchased mailing lists. The only acceptable email newsletters are those that strictly follow the CAN-SPAM Act. All emails within the mailing / newsletter database must be genuinely double-opt in.
Gambling Websites
Gambling sites (online casinos, betting and similar) are prohibited from being hosted on our servers. There is too much risk and fraud involved in these types of sites and bring much trouble, legally and technically (server traffic). It is best to find a host to accept your “gambling” site elsewhere.
Unsolicited e-mail / Unsolicited bulk e-mail (SPAM)
Use of the LogicWeb service to transmit any unsolicited commercial or unsolicited bulk e-mail is expressly prohibited. Violations of this type will result in the immediate termination of the offending LogicWeb account.
Reverse DNS / PTR Requests / IP Address Clarification
All PTR requests must be valid live domains with content. This is a requirement for all rDNS / ptr requests. We do not accept PTR requests for domains with no web content. We also forbid sending emails from our IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses that send bulk mail anonymously. This is a strict policy. Any requests for new IP addresses will result in a $100 fee per change. Any request for new IP replacements after we confirm the originals provided to you have been blacklisted due to your activity will require a signed agreement as a goodwill promise not to abuse our network and IP addresses deployed to you.
Snowshoe Spamming
We completely forbid any form of snowshoe spamming on our network. Anyone found to have such activity on our network will have their service immediately suspended without refund. Snowshoe spamming defined (from Spamhaus.org):
Like a snowshoe spreads the load of a traveler across a wide area of snow, snowshoe spamming uses many frequently-changing IP addresses, domains and aliases to spread out the spam load in order to dilute recipient reputation metrics and evade filters. Snowshoers use many fictitious business names (DBAs), fake names and identities, and frequently changing postal dropboxes and voicemail drops.
Conversely, legitimate mailers try hard to build their brand reputation based on a real business address, a known domain and a small permanent range of sending IPs. Snowshoers often use anonymized or unidentifiable whois records, whereas legitimate senders are proud to provide their bona fide identity.
Some showshoers use tunneled connections from their back-end spam cannon to the spam egress IP. The back-end IP address is not in the spam headers. ISPs, you are in a position to detect those back-end spam cannons by checking where traffic flows are coming from. Remember, the tunneled connection is not necessarily on port 25. Spamhaus always appreciates such information.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Anyone hosting web sites or services on their server that support spammers or cause any of our IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases will have their server immediately removed from our network. The server will not be reconnected until such time that you agree to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection and agree to allow us access to the server to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed. Severe violations may result in immediate and permanent removal of the server from our network without notice to the customer. Any server guilty of a second violation WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network without notice. A $50 charge per spam complaint for violating this policy will be charged to the person initiating the SPAM.
E-mail / News Bombing
Malicious intent to impede another person’s use of electronic mail services or news will result in the immediate termination of the offending LogicWeb account.
