please fill out the following form to report the trademark violation. Defamation,
Privacy and Youth As one of the largest Free Web Hosting companies in the world,
with millions of sites and and thousands more created daily, we are unable to catch
all violations as sites are created. Our sites are also edited 24 hours a day and
seven days a week, internationally, which makes the task of preventing inappropriate
use of our services impossible as the content is being created. With many young
users, we take great pride in allowing these users to express their interests and
communicate with others in a positive environment. We understand that many users
also use our services for negative purposes, such as defamation of character in
the form of libel. We are also aware that many users post information or images
of others without the consent of the individuals. FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com
is aware that the person that has created an inappropriate site can do so again,
either with our services or using one of the many other services on the web, should
we simply delete the site. It is for this reason that we take the approach of confronting
the problem in hopes of nurturing a positive reaction from the violator. If you
are a parent and are concerned about a site created by your child, please be informed
that your child has full access to the account and can delete both content or the
entire site at any time. Due to the many false complaints we receive, we do not
freeze or delete a site unless we find a violation of our Terms-of-Service. Also,
if your child has come across a FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com site which you find
inappropriate, please inform us of this, but be aware that they most likely found
this site after having been given the address from a friend. It might better suit
your purposes to address the situation offline as well as reporting it to us. If
you find a site hosted by FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com which is defaming your character,
someone you know, your company, or organization, please make sure that you have
the following information to submit to FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com. The site address

location of the violation Method of violation (image or text) Should the proper
information be in order, please fill out the following form to report the violation.
Adult or Inappropriate Content Pornographic, obscene, nude, graphically violent,
and other inappropriate content is strictly prohibited. FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com
treats all abuse violations on a case by case basis. Violations which fall into
this category sometimes cannot be determined by expressing a definition, but there
are some guidelines which can be used to determine if the content on a site is in
violation of our Terms-of-Service. Please review the following guidelines: Adult
images are any nude images of the human or humanoid form which depict the nude body
in a manner other than in the classical style (i.e. the Statue of David, Venus de
Milo, Da Vinci Man Figure, etc). Contemporary nude "art" is considered adult content
and is in violation of our Term-of-Service. Artistic nudes in the classical style
must be content specific. If such an image is used, it must fall in line with the
theme of the site. Alterations of the work for any purpose will be considered a
violation of our Terms-of-Service. Any text which describes, refers to, or alludes
to services, stories, or products of an adult or sexual nature is a violation of
our terms. Other inappropriate content includes: Graphically violent images not
specific to the context of the site Graphically violent content that is not computer
generated for gaming purposes Hate speech directed toward an individual or group
of people based on sex, color, creed, practices, or orientation Content depicting
or referring to the harm of others, animals, or property Content depicting violent
behavior toward others or oneself Should the proper information be in order, please
fill out the following form to report the violation. Hacking Related Content There
are several definitions which can be applied to hacking related content. Please
review the following to better understand the issue and what constitutes hacking
related content. Unauthorized use, or attempts to circumvent or bypass the security
mechanisms of an information system or network. Means unauthorized access to a computer,
its files and programs. Use, create, or distribution or tools or programs intended
to alter or enhance the experience of a game or program opposed to the intended
use or function of that game or program. FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com does not
allow any program to be hosted on an account which is in violation of copyrights
of the creator of the game or program to which the hack is intended. Distribution
of legal hacks which may be distributed by the creator of a game or program cannot
be hosted without express permission from the copyright holder. If you find a site
hosted by FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com which is using or distributing content in
violation of the above definitions, please make sure that you have the following
information to submit to FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com. The site address in violation

of the violation Method of violation (distribution, tutorial) Should the proper
information be in order, please fill out the following form to report the violation.
Spam Violations Although FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com is not an email service provider,
we are aware of the growing problem that spam has become on the internet. We are
strictly against all spam activity, including mass Emailing, multiple Emailing,
multiple posts or mass posting into forums, and flooding of forums or chatrooms
with the intent of promoting a site. To better understand how to define spam, or
to report spam activity, please refer to these third-party links: SpamCop.net SpamAbuse.net
JunkEmail.org CAUCE For FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com to take the proper steps to
monitor the spamming activity of our users, we require proper verification of this
activity. For proper verification, please report the activity to one of the above
sites, and to the Email Service provider from which the spam is coming. First time
violators will be warned of the activity. Repeat verified violators will have their
sites removed from our system. Please also send us notification of spam abuse by
submitting this form to report the violation. Guestbook, Shoutbox, Ratings &
Comments Violations Guestbook violations fall into two catagories. Please review
the information pertaining to the violation you require assistance with. Inapropriate
content in someone else's Guestbook FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com takes abuse of
services provided very seriously. The Guestbook, however, does not contain content
posted by the Site Manager. FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com receives many complaints
that content on a Guestbook is a violation of our Terms-of-Service, mainly due to
defaming, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate content. We have found that the individual
complaining about the content is often the same individual posting the abusive content
in hopes of having a site deleted. Since the Site Manager is not the one posting
this content, FreeSites.mgcomputergroup.com will notify the user in hopes that they
will better monitor the content in the Guestbook. Should you be a concerned parent,
school official, or law enforcement officer investigating content on a site, please
use the proper form to obtain information. Inappropriate content in any Guestbook
on freesites.mgcomputergroup.com.
