We Got Served

All WHS owners who created an Internet Domain name as part of setting up remote access to their Windows Home Server will have received an e-mail from the Windows Home Server Team about an update to the Windows Live Custom Domains terms of service. This update adds a code of conduct to the terms of service.

The code of Conduct forms part of the Addendum for Windows Home Server’s Windows Live Custom Domains service and can be read in full here: http://dyndns.domains.live.com/documents/en-us/addendum.htm

Code of Conduct

To ensure that everyone using the Custom Domains service has the best possible experience, we have established a Code of Conduct. We may, but have no obligation to, monitor use of the Custom Domains service to ensure compliance with these guidelines.

• Do not invade anyone’s privacy or spam others. Spam includes, but is not limited to, sending identical and irrelevant or unsolicited submissions to many different users, and includes misrepresenting the source of anything you post.
• We do not allow you to use this service to publish, post, distribute, disseminate or facilitate content or behavior related to any unlawful or allegedly unlawful activity. This includes, but is not limited to, child pornography, bestiality, incest, illegal drugs, harassment, software piracy, and intellectual property infringement.

Violations of this Code of Conduct may result in the revocation of your Custom Domain website’s security certificate and termination of access to your Custom Domain name. Microsoft reserves the right to take such action, at its sole discretion, at will and without notice.

Thanks for following the Code of Conduct. Microsoft reserves the right to change the Code of Conduct at any time without notice, and encourages you to periodically review this Code to ensure you are in compliance.
