principles of free speech, certain activities that may be damaging to the
resources of both the Xinqx Hosting and the Internet and cannot be permitted
under the guise of free speech. The resources of the Xinqx Hosting and the

system utilization and the preparation of billing records. However, in our
efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet community, we will
respond appropriately if we become aware of inappropriate use of our service.
You may not use your dedicated rack or virtual site to publish material, which

objectionable. For purposes of this policy, "material" refers to all forms of
communications including narrative descriptions, graphics (including
photographs, illustrations, images, drawings, logos), executable programs, video
recordings, and audio recordings.

advise customers of inappropriate behavior and any necessary corrective action,
however, flagrant violations of the Acceptable Use Policy will result in
immediate termination of service. Our failure to enforce this policy, for
