Acceptable Use Policy Explained

What Is an Acceptable Use Policy?

An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) defines the rules and guidelines for using a service provider’s infrastructure and services. At 10Corp, our AUP outlines what activities are permitted and what behaviors are prohibited when using our hosting, domain registration, and related services.

Why an AUP Exists

The AUP protects all users by ensuring that the actions of one customer do not negatively impact others. It also helps 10Corp comply with legal requirements and maintain the reliability, security, and reputation of our network and services.

Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited on 10Corp services:

Illegal Content and Activities

Hosting or distributing content that violates any applicable law.
Facilitating fraud, identity theft, or financial crimes.
Hosting child exploitation material of any kind.

Network Abuse

Resource Abuse

Enforcement

10Corp monitors its network for policy violations and responds to abuse reports from third parties. When a violation is identified, we may take the following actions:

Issue a warning and request corrective action.
Temporarily suspend the offending service or domain.
Permanently terminate the account for serious or repeated violations.

The severity of the response depends on the nature of the violation. In cases involving illegal activity, 10Corp may report the matter to law enforcement and cooperate with investigations.
