General

All services provided by Leanwired LLP are to be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any local or international law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or obscene, material that jeopardizes national security, or material protected by trade secret or other laws. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Leanwired LLP, from any claims resulting from the subscriber’s use of Leanwired LLP’s services that damages the subscriber or any other party. 

Note: Pornography and sex related merchandising are prohibited on any Leanservers’ hosting account. This includes sites that may imply sexual content, or link to adult content elsewhere.

Leanwired LLP will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Content that does not meet these standards will be removed without prior notice to the subscriber.

The responsibility for ensuring compliance to illegal or unlawful activities rests primarily with the subscriber. Leanwired LLP will not, as a standard practice, monitor its subscribers to ensure that they comply with this policy or any applicable laws. However, when Leanwired LLP becomes aware of these activities, action may be taken to suppress these activities, including but not limited to, removing the information, shutting down an account or website, or any other action deemed appropriate.

Leanwired LLP reserves the right to directly take action against a Leanwired LLP subscriber in violation of these policies. In addition, Leanwired LLP reserves the right to take direct action against any customer of a subscriber where the customer is in violation of these policies.

From a security standpoint, Leanwired LLP recommends that all its subscribers assume that all of their online communications are inherently insecure and take steps to enforce the security of information transmitted. Leanwired LLP cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted using Leanwired LLP’s facilities.

Leanwired LLP will not monitor the content of electronic messages sent or received by its subscribers unless required by law, government authority, or when public safety is at stake. To maintain the operation of Leanwired LLP’s networks, and to comply with public safety, court orders, subpoenas, summons, discovery requests, warrants, statutes, regulations, or government requests, Leanwired LLP may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site residing on our servers. Leanwired LLP assumes no obligation to inform the subscriber that this information has been provided, and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice.

Leanwired LLP expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others have to comply fully with all applicable laws. A subscriber’s failure to comply with any laws will violate Leanwired LLP policy. In subscribing to services from Leanwired LLP, subscribers indemnify Leanservers for any violation of the service agreement, law, or Leanservers policy, that results in loss to Leanservers or the bringing of any claim against Leanservers by any third-party. This means that if Leanwired LLP is sued because of a subscriber’s activity or customer of a subscriber’s activity, the subscriber will pay any damages awarded against Leanservers, plus costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

To report cases of prohibited content, please send an email to abuse at leanservers.io, and an investigation will be conducted. Account holders in violation of any local or international law will not be condoned and will be shut down.
