Cafe Networks Free Web Hosting Terms of Service
Welcome to Cafe Networks! Here your dreams and ambitions, your obsessions
and occupations can be displayed and shared with the world. Cafe Networks
provides every member with at least 100MB of FREE space to host a web
site of their own. All we ask in return is that you follow a few simple
rules. So before you create your first page here at Cafe Networks, please
be sure you have read, and understood, these Terms and Conditions.
Members who do not follow rules and regulations could find their entire
web site removed and/or deleted, possibly without prior notice. The
interpretation of these guidelines is at the sole discretion of Open
Swarm:
- Cafe Networks is capable of giving away free web space thanks to the sponsorship
of our advertisers. In return, each page that you create will have an
advertising banner automatically inserted into it (one banner per page
at the top of the viewable browser window). You may not remove, resize
so as to render invisible or unreadable, or otherwise block any of the
banners that Cafe Networks inserts onto your web pages.
- You must provide a valid email address;
- Cafe Networks is not responsible for the content of any personal home

A "gateway" site is one which serves only as an entrance to
the actual site located on a non-Cafe Networks server;
- Your page can be in any language;
- Your page should be active - that is, it is either receiving 'hits'
or is being updated/posted to. Sites that either receive no hits or are
not updated over a period of 60 days will be considered 'inactive' and
may be removed by Cafe Networks to make room for other users;

that is grossly offensive to the Web community. This includes:
- Blatant expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity;

illegal activities; this includes, but is not limited to, instructions

users;
- Materials infringing the intellectual property rights of third
parties (including, but not limited to, trademarks, domain names,
personality rights, names of individuals, publicity rights, logos,
graphics, designs, films, and music), those which allow the circumvention
of revenue rightfully due to a manufacturer for the sale of a product
or the disabling of installed copy protected devices, and all other
forms of cracker utilities, are strictly forbidden;

our space as storage for large files which are only linked from other
