IV. ADULT MATERIAL POLICY
Due to different cultures,
material that is appropriate in some countries may not be appropriate in
others. For this reason and many others, we maintain a strict "No
Adult Material Policy" for all shared and dedicated hosting customers.
Webpackage
defines "Adult
Material" as any of the following:
-
Any photos or videos showing
frontal nudity on either men or women.
-
Any photos or videos showing
women's bare chests and nipples.
-
Any audio clips or text containing
sexually explicit material.
We also prohibit the following:
-
Any sites with direct links
to other sites containing such material.
-
Any site engaged in the sale
of sexually explicit items.
In addition we reserve the right
to determine what might be considered "sexually explicit" or "sexually
related". If your site contains material that you are unsure about, please
let us know before placing the order.
Why
does Webpackage not allow adult material on their servers?
Webpackage
has the privilege of hosting many family sites including churches, chambers and many others. As one of Michigans's leading
Web hosting services, we hope our policies will set new standards in
the industry as to what kind of material is "acceptable".
As
a customer, how would this policy benefit me?
Webpackage
customers enjoy the assurance that if the IP addressing ever gets mixed
up, their domain name will never pull up an adult site. In addition, Webpackage
customers enjoy the consistently fast servers and clear network. Unlike
other Web hosting facilities, we do not have our network congested with
users downloading pornographic images.
Adult
sites are completely legal... What about "freedom of speech"?
As a citizen of any country
with freedom of speech, you have the choice of using another
Web hosting facility to host your material. We do not take away the rights
of any individual. Just because you can't buy whiskey at McDonalds, does
not mean you can't buy whiskey at a liquor store.
