under this Agreement shall be addressed to the individuals in the capacities indicated
below, or as specified by subsequent written notice delivered by the party whose
address has changed.
18. Because the Internet is a global communication tool, and we have clients from
nearly every country in the world it is difficult to dictate what is considered
"adult material." However, it is not our function to discriminate against those
who choose to utilize adult content or adult related material. This being said,
there are still several reasons why Tokios has been forced to create its no adult
sites policy for its virtual server users.
19.Tokios may temporarily deny service or terminate this Agreement upon the failure
of Account Holder to pay charges when they become due. Such termination or denial
will not relieve the Account Holder of
What does Tokios consider "Adult Material?"
Any site whose revenue is gained in part or whole from its adult content. Photos
or videos showing frontal nudity on either men or women for non-scientific or non-artistic
purposes. Revenue-generating hyperlinks to sites who violate policy #1.
Why does Tokios have this policy?
Bandwidth and Resources. A virtual server is a shared environment where many servers
reside on each particular machine. This being said, consider that an average "adult
site" gets more hits than 100 standard websites. Some of the smaller adult sites
get around 5 GB of transfer per day. With these types of resources being utilized,
our servers would be severely slowed if we allowed these high traffic sites to also
reside on our servers. On top of that, we would be forced to raise our prices to
pay for the additional bandwidth. We strive to keep our servers fast and inexpensive,
and our bandwidth clear; therefore, adult sites are not an option.
Tokios reserves the right to decide what it considers "adult content", "adult material",
"sexually explicit", or "sexually related". Let us know if you are unsure of the
approval of your site before placing an order.
