violation. If, in GSH’s sole discretion, a potential violation is
detected, the service (including all services on all server
computers of Subscriber, if Subscriber uses more than one) that GSH
provides to Subscriber may be terminated, without notice to

the policies, as they exist from time to time, of the American
Registry for Internet Numbers (“ARIN”), including policies providing
that the use of IP addresses or numbers for IP-based virtual hosts
are not acceptable as justification for new IP addresses or numbers.
Pursuant to ARIN’s policies, as they exist from time to time,
Subscriber must use name-based hosting whenever possible. GSH will
periodically review IP address usage, and if GSH finds that
Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s Sub-Users are using IP addresses or
numbers where name-based hosting could be used, GSH will revoke
authorization for the use of those IP addresses/numbers. All IP
addresses/numbers that are allocated to Subscriber must be utilized

enforcement agent who requests it, without further consent or
notification to Subscriber. In addition, as may be allowed by ARIN
policies from time to time, GSH will provide any third party with

Sub-Users, and Subscriber shall notify all of Subscriber’s Sub-Users
of these terms,

SPAM, UCE and/or UBE. Violations of this policy carry, as well as
possible suspension or cancellation of service, additional penalties
and/or remedies, including, but not limited to:
· GSH reserves the right to drop the section of any IP space
involved in any SPAM/ UCE/ UBE or Denial of Service (DOS) complaints
if GSH determines, in its sole discretion, that the offending

originating from Subscriber’s network);

· GSH may notify law enforcement officials if the violation is
believed to be a criminal offense;
· GSH's remedies are cumulative and they may be exercised
concurrently or separately at any time.
· Lack of action by GSH with respect to any remedy shall not serve
as a waiver of that or any other remedy at any time;
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
A Subscriber hosting websites or services on Subscriber’s server
computer supporting spammers or resulting in any of GSH’s IP space
to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases or black hole
lists will have its service immediately disconnected. Such suspended
service will not be reconnected until such time that Subscriber

immediately upon reconnection, and agrees to allow GSH access to its
server computer(s) to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY

names of GSH comprise the trademarks of GSH, and Subscriber shall
not, and shall not allow any third party to, display or use in any
manner said trademarks without GSH’s prior written permission.

Not by way of limitation of the other provisions of this TOS
Agreement, particularly the provisions of Sections 10.G and 10.H.,

colocation system/data against destruction, damage, taking,
unavailability or other loss, and GSH is not responsible for, and
