Secure Cart Hosting provided its customers (also known as subscribers) with web hosting services. Secure Cart Hosting respects that the Internet is a medium for free and open discussion and interpretation of information, however, when there are conflicting or legal issues, Secure Cart Hosting may take corrective actions to resolve these issues. In order to stop these issues occurring, Secure Cart Hosting has an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which details terms that the customer is bound to while using our services. This AUP can and will be revised at any time. If a customer continues using Secure Cart Hosting services after this AUP is modified, it signifies to us your agreement with these terms.

As the internet cannot be monitored, it is possible for Secure Cart Hosting customers to use our services in a way which could offend or injure them. Secure Cart Hosting is not responsible for any injury or offense caused by using our services.

Secure Cart Hosting reserves the right to decide whether users on a mailing list have "opted in" and will take action accordingly.
