Any conduct that is likely to result in retaliation against Eh+ Web Services’ network or website, or Eh+ Web Services’ employees, officers or other agents, including engaging in behavior that results in any server being the target of a denial of service attack (DoS).

k. Personal Backups

The customer agrees to make use of Eh+ Web Services’ servers primarily for the purpose of hosting a website, and associated email functions. Data uploaded must be primarily for this purpose. Eh+ Web Services’ servers are not intended as a data backup or archiving service.

n. IRC Bots/Bouncers

All IRC bots and “bouncers” (bnc, etc) are forbidden.
