Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) — for Jiinubi Digital Infrastructure

The governance of multi-tenant cloud environments necessitates a robust legal and technical architecture to ensure the equitable distribution of resources, the protection of intellectual property, and the maintenance of network integrity. Jiinubi, as a provider of diversified web hosting solutions—including shared, WordPress, and virtual private server (VPS) architectures—operates a complex ecosystem that requires a detailed Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This Agreement serves as the definitive set of terms and conditions governing the utilization of services provided by Jiinubi. In the context of this regulatory framework, the term “You” or “Your” designates the individual user, employee, agent, or authorized representative accessing the services, while “Jiinubi,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our” refers to the corporate entity and its associated infrastructure.¹ This report provides an exhaustive analysis of the obligations, restrictions, and performance standards required to maintain a secure and high-performance digital environment.

Foundational Governance and Information Disclosure

The efficacy of a hosting environment is intrinsically linked to the transparent management of user data and the jurisdictional requirements of internet governance. Jiinubi’s regulatory framework is built upon the principle that services are provided contingent upon the user’s adherence to global and local standards of data transparency.¹ The integration of the Terms of Service (TOS) into this AUP ensures a unified legal stance on all activities conducted within the Jiinubi network.¹

Data Sharing and Inter-Institutional Communication

As an essential component of service delivery, Jiinubi participates in data-sharing protocols with strategic partners and global registries. This disclosure is not arbitrary but is a technical necessity for the provisioning of domain names, SSL certificates, and specialized security services.² Information processed by Jiinubi generally falls into specific analytical categories that allow for the optimization of the hosting environment.

Data Category	Purpose of Processing	Mechanism of Disclosure
Voluntary Submissions	Marketing, newsletters, and direct support communication	Internal CRM systems and authorized marketing partners
Aggregated Tracking	Demographic analysis and content tailoring	Tallying page views and anonymized interaction metrics
Registry Justification	Compliance with internet governance bodies (e.g., ARIN, ICANN)	Whois database display and registry-specific audits
Transactional Data	Verification of service eligibility and payment processing	Financial institutions and payment gateways

The disclosure of a user’s name and technical justification for resource allocation is mandated by policies promulgated by registries such as the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN).² This practice ensures accountability in the allocation of scarce network resources, such as IPv4 addresses. While Jiinubi prioritizes user privacy, the overarching requirements of network transparency often necessitate the public display of certain data via the Whois protocol, a standard which is a condition of maintaining a functional domain name system.¹

User Eligibility and Contractual Capacity

Access to Jiinubi’s infrastructure is restricted to entities capable of forming legally binding contracts. Users must represent and warrant that they have attained the age of majority—eighteen years in most jurisdictions—and are not legally barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States, Kenya, or other relevant jurisdictions.¹ For organizations, the individual entering the agreement must possess the express authority to bind the corporate entity to these terms. If such authority is later found to be lacking, the individual remains personally liable for all obligations and charges incurred.¹

Intellectual Property and Content Stewardship

The hosting of digital content involves significant legal responsibilities regarding the ownership and dissemination of intellectual property. Jiinubi’s infrastructure is designed to be content-neutral, yet it requires users to provide strong warranties regarding the legality of the materials they store and distribute.¹

Ownership Warranties and Indemnification

Every user of Jiinubi services represents and warrants that their content—encompassing code, data, trademarks, and multimedia—does not infringe upon the proprietary or intellectual property rights of any third party.¹ This mandate covers not only direct copyright but also trade secrets, contract rights, and tort rights. Users must either own the hosted content in its entirety or possess explicit, written authorization from the rightful owner to store and display said content on Jiinubi’s servers.¹

The technical maintenance of a website requires the service provider to perform certain automated actions that might technically overlap with copyright definitions. Consequently, users expressly grant Jiinubi the permission to cache the entirety of their content, including third-party materials. This caching is a fundamental mechanism of modern web performance and is agreed upon as a non-infringing activity necessary for the efficient delivery of services.¹

Prohibited Content Categories

The AUP delineates specific classes of content that are strictly prohibited from the Jiinubi network. The prohibition of these materials is intended to protect the reputation of Jiinubi’s IP address space and to ensure compliance with international law.¹

Prohibited Category	Specific Examples	Rational for Prohibition
Malicious Software	Viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs	Protection of global network health and user property
Illegal Materials	Warez, pirated software, counterfeit goods	Mitigation of institutional and user legal liability
Adult Content	Nudity, pornography, adult-oriented advertising	Maintenance of IP reputation and adherence to “safe” hosting standards
Hate Speech	Materials professing hatred for specific ethnic or religious groups	Prevention of social harm and compliance with local regulations
Dangerous Goods	Sale of controlled substances without permits	Adherence to public safety and pharmacy regulations

Furthermore, the hosting of torrent trackers, portals, or any software encouraging the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted works is categorically banned.¹ The violation of these content standards results in immediate removal of the material and may lead to account termination without notice or refund.¹

Operational Reliability and Liability Boundaries

Jiinubi utilizes enterprise-grade hardware and redundant network architectures to maintain a full-time internet presence for its clients. However, the inherent complexity of global networking means that total uptime cannot be guaranteed under all circumstances.³

Network Interruptions and Force Majeure

The network may experience downtime due to utility interruptions, equipment failure, human error, or acts of God, such as natural disasters.¹ Jiinubi’s liability for these interruptions is strictly limited. The provider is not liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages—including lost profits or data—that may arise from a service failure.¹

The total aggregate liability of Jiinubi, under any legal theory, shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by the account holder for the specific services during the billing period in which the issue occurred.¹ This limitation of liability is a standard industry practice that allows hosting providers to offer services at competitive price points while managing the significant risks associated with maintaining global infrastructure.¹

Account Responsibility and Security

The primary account holder is the sole party responsible for all activities occurring under their principal account, sub-accounts, or alternative account names. This includes ensuring that all users of the account comply with the AUP.¹ Transferring a Jiinubi account to another party is prohibited without prior, written approval from Jiinubi’s administration.¹

Users bear the full risk of loss for their server content and must maintain the confidentiality of their login credentials.¹ Jiinubi mandates that users take independent measures to:

1. Prevent loss or damage to their server content.
2. Maintain archival and backup copies independent of Jiinubi’s systems.
3. Ensure the security and integrity of all data transmitted through the server.
4. Uphold the confidentiality of passwords and API keys.¹

Financial Terms and Refund Architectures

The sustainability of a hosting service depends on clear payment terms and fair refund policies. Jiinubi provides specific guarantees to first-time users to ensure satisfaction with the selected hosting tier.³

Money-Back Guarantees

Jiinubi offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for its shared hosting and VPS plans, providing a risk-free trial period for new customers. This guarantee applies to the primary hosting services but excludes third-party products and licenses.²

Hosting Plan Type	Guarantee Period	Eligible Products
Shared (Basic, Standard, Advance, Enterprise)	30 Days	Primary hosting account fee
WordPress (Starter, Pro, Business, Enterprise)	30 Days	Primary hosting account fee
VPS (Pulsar, Quasar, Magnetar)	30 Days	Primary hosting account fee
Dedicated Servers	7 Days	New Server/Clearance Server fee
Add-on Services	None	SSL, WHMCS, cPanel licenses

If an account is cancelled within the initial period, the user is entitled to a full refund of the hosting fee. However, if an account is terminated due to a violation of the TOS or AUP, all payments are forfeited.¹ Furthermore, a processing fee of $15.00 may be assessed for inquiries regarding closed accounts or historical support incidents.²

Payment Default and Service Suspension

The timely payment of charges is a core obligation. Failure to settle invoices by their due date may lead to immediate service denial or account suspension.¹ Jiinubi is not obligated to provide access to data on suspended accounts until the balance is paid in full. For shared hosting, a grace period of up to 30 days may be provided for reactivation, while VPS and dedicated server accounts have significantly shorter grace periods of seven and three days, respectively.¹

For dedicated servers, the auto-renewal option must be enabled. If auto-renewal is disabled or if multiple attempts to charge the designated payment method fail, the server will be cancelled, and all content will be permanently deleted on the renewal date.² This policy reflects the high cost of maintaining dedicated hardware and the necessity of recycling resources that are no longer being funded.

Resource Thresholds and Technical Constraints

To maintain optimal performance across its shared and virtualized environments, Jiinubi imposes specific limits on the consumption of server resources. These limits are designed to prevent the “noisy neighbor” effect, where a single user’s high demand degrades the service for others on the same physical node.²

Shared Hosting Resource Allocation

Shared hosting accounts are limited by CPU cores, physical memory, and I/O throughput. These parameters scale with the tier of the selected plan, allowing users to choose a package that matches their expected workload.²

Metric	Basic Plan	Standard Plan	Advance Plan	Enterprise Plan
Monthly Price	$12.99	$19.99	$29.99	$49.99
CPU Cores	1 Core	1.5 Cores	2 Cores	3 Cores
RAM (Physical)	1 GB	2 GB	4 GB	6 GB
Inode Limit	100,000	200,000	350,000	500,000
I/O Limit	1 MB/s	3 MB/s	5 MB/s	10 MB/s
Storage (SSD)	10 GB	30 GB	75 GB	150 GB
Bandwidth	50 GB	150 GB	300 GB	500 GB

Users are permitted to burst their CPU usage to stabilize operations during peak intervals. However, if an account consistently utilizes burst resources, Jiinubi reserves the right to require an upgrade to a higher-tier plan or a VPS solution.² Scripts are strictly prohibited from consuming more than 25% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. Furthermore, the execution of background daemons, web spiders, or peer-to-peer (P2P) applications is forbidden in the shared environment.²

Disk Usage and Multimedia Restrictions

The storage provided in shared hosting plans is intended primarily for the operation of standard websites consisting of HTML, PHP, and graphics files. Using the hosting space for archiving files or as online storage is a violation of the AUP.¹ Specific limits are placed on non-web content within shared accounts.

• Multimedia: A maximum of 10GB may be used for music, video, or image archives (.mp3,.mp4,.avi,.jpg, etc.).²
• Backups and Images: A maximum of 10GB is allowed for disk images or archives.²
• Databases: A maximum of 10GB is allocated for database dumps and.sql files.²
• Executables: Executable files are limited to 10GB per account.²

These restrictions ensure that disk I/O remains available for website delivery rather than being consumed by large-scale file storage operations. Error log files are also limited to 10MB or 1,000 rows to prevent them from inflating disk usage.²

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Management and Scaling

VPS hosting provides an isolated server environment using KVM virtualization, granting users greater control while maintaining specific bandwidth and storage constraints.⁴

VPS Plan Specifications and Traffic Limits

Jiinubi’s VPS plans are categorized by performance levels, each offering a fixed amount of monthly traffic and dedicated resources.³

VPS Plan	SSD Storage	CPU Limit	Bandwidth	Monthly Price
Pulsar	40 GB	2 Cores	1,000 GB	$39.99
Quasar	120 GB	4 Cores	3,000 GB	$79.99
Magnetar	240 GB	8 Cores	6,000 GB	$149.99

If the monthly traffic limit is reached, the VPS will be suspended until the next billing cycle. Additional traffic can be purchased at a rate of $10.00 per 100 GB.³ Users must also account for system files, which typically occupy up to 4 GB of the allocated disk space.⁴

Scalability and Add-on Resources

Jiinubi allows for the dynamic scaling of VPS resources. Users can order additional RAM or dedicated IP addresses as extra features. These add-ons are charged on a monthly basis and are non-refundable.⁴ Failure to pay for these additional features may result in their removal or the suspension of the entire VPS account.⁴ Furthermore, the VPS infrastructure includes built-in service limitations to prevent denial of service attacks; if these thresholds are triggered, service may be automatically interrupted to protect the underlying host node.⁴

Email Services and IP Reputation Management

The integrity of Jiinubi’s email infrastructure is paramount. To prevent blacklisting and ensure high deliverability rates, Jiinubi enforces strict limits on email transmission and prohibits all forms of unsolicited mass mailing.¹

Outbound Email Volume Constraints

To prevent server performance degradation and mitigate spam, the number of emails that can be sent or forwarded is limited based on the hosting plan.²

Plan Tier	Max Emails (per hour, per domain)	Email Forwarders (per mailbox/domain)
Basic (Shared)	50	20 / 200
Standard (Shared)	200	20 / 200
Advance (Shared)	200	20 / 200
Enterprise (Shared)	10,000	20 / 200
VPS (Pulsar/Quasar)	No set limit (Opt-in)	Unlimited

For shared hosting accounts, email storage is capped at 10GB per mailbox. Users are also limited to 100 email checks per hour for IMAP/POP3 mailboxes. Concurrent connection limits are enforced to prevent system exhaustion:

• POP3: 10 concurrent connections per IP address.
• IMAP: 30 concurrent connections per IP address.
• SMTP: 100 concurrent connections for the entire server.²

Anti-Spam Policy Enforcement

Jiinubi takes a zero-tolerance stance on spam. Users are prohibited from sending mass unsolicited emails, “spamvertising” websites hosted on Jiinubi, or configuring mail servers to allow anonymous third-party relays.¹ Using weblog posts, guestbooks, or instant messages to transmit bulk unsolicited communications is also a violation of the AUP.¹

If an account is determined to have deliberately or recklessly engaged in spamming, Jiinubi may assess a $500.00 fee to compensate for the administrative costs of redressing the activity.¹ Additionally, Jiinubi may share information regarding the violator’s identity with anti-spam organizations and blacklists to protect the broader internet community.¹

Networking and IP Address Conservation

The exhaustion of global IPv4 address space requires hosting providers to manage IP resources with extreme care. Jiinubi’s policy emphasizes conservation and technical necessity.²

IP Allocation Limits

The allocation of IP addresses is determined by the type of hosting account and the technical requirements of the hosted application.²

• Shared Hosting: Accounts are limited to one IP address each.²
• Reseller Hosting: Accounts may use up to four IP addresses, provided a valid justification is provided.²
• VPS/Dedicated: A base number of IPs is included, with additional addresses available for a fee upon approval.⁴

Users do not possess any property rights to the IP addresses assigned to them. Jiinubi reserves the right to modify or revoke IP assignments at its sole discretion.¹ All requests for additional IPs require technical justification, such as the requirement for a specific SSL configuration or specialized software that cannot function on a shared IP.²

Secure Shell (SSH) and Administrative Access

Jiinubi provides Secure Shell (SSH) access to users who require advanced command-line management of their accounts. This access is provided on a provisionary basis and is subject to strict security protocols.¹

Jail Access and Misuse

SSH access is typically granted through a “Jail” environment, which restricts the user’s ability to view or modify system files outside their own directory.¹ Any attempt to circumvent these restrictions using PHP or other scripting languages is a material breach of the AUP and will result in immediate account termination.¹ Jiinubi reserves the right to revoke SSH access at any time if the system is misused or if it poses a threat to server stability.¹

Prohibited Network Activities

To ensure the safety of all internet users and the stability of the Jiinubi network, several technical activities are strictly forbidden.¹

Unauthorized Access and Remote Execution

Users are prohibited from attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Jiinubi network, including other users’ accounts or server partitions.¹ Allowing the remote execution of malicious software through a hosting account is also a violation. Users must ensure that their software (such as CMS installations like WordPress) is patched and secure to prevent hackers from using the account as a staging ground for attacks.¹

Invasive Network Procedures

The following network-level activities are banned:

• Denial of Service (DoS): Instigating or allowing attacks intended to overwhelm a network host.¹
• Port Scanning: Attempting to identify open ports on other servers.¹
• Packet Sniffing: Unauthorized monitoring of data moving through the network.¹
• Signature Forgery: Forging digital signatures or identifying marks to deceive others regarding a user’s true identity.¹

Third-Party Software and Integration Liability

Jiinubi includes several third-party software tools, such as cPanel, Softaculous, and various website builders, to enhance the user experience. While these tools are integrated for convenience, they are provided by external vendors.¹

Warranty and Performance Limitations

Jiinubi provides third-party software on an “as is” and “as available” basis. There is no guarantee that specific results can be achieved using these tools, and Jiinubi assumes no responsibility for faults in their operation.¹ Users who add their own third-party software to their accounts do so at their own risk. Jiinubi is not liable for data loss, damage, or security vulnerabilities caused by third-party applications.¹

Users are solely responsible for any licensing fees associated with software they install themselves. Jiinubi’s support team may provide limited assistance with these tools, but the primary responsibility for maintenance and configuration rests with the software vendor and the user.¹

Data Backup and Disaster Recovery Protocols

While Jiinubi maintains internal backup systems for disaster recovery, these are not intended to replace a user’s own data management strategy. The AUP clearly defines the limits of Jiinubi’s responsibility regarding data retention.¹

Automated Backup Limitations

Jiinubi provides automated backup tools for higher-tier plans, but these have specific storage and inode triggers.

Plan/Tool	Backup Frequency	Storage/Inode Trigger
Shared (Basic)	Weekly	Removed if >25GB or >200,000 inodes
Shared (Standard/Advance)	Twice Weekly	Removed if >25GB or >200,000 inodes
AutoBackup Tool	Daily/Weekly/Monthly	Limit of 25GB for Stellar Plus/Standard
Stellar Business	Unlimited	No storage limit, but inode limits apply
Softaculous Backups	User-defined	28-day retention, max 10 copies

If data loss occurs due to a system-wide error by Jiinubi, the provider will attempt to recover the data free of charge. However, if data loss is the result of user negligence, a recovery fee (typically $15.00) will be charged to attempt a restoration from the most recent archive.² Jiinubi makes no guarantees, expressed or implied, regarding the integrity or availability of these backups.¹

Service Termination and Content Portability

In the event that the agreement between the user and Jiinubi is terminated, either through voluntary cancellation or as a result of a policy violation, the transition of data is the responsibility of the user.¹

Data Transfer Obligations

Upon termination, Jiinubi will not transfer or FTP server content to a different provider. Moving files, databases, and emails off Jiinubi’s servers is entirely the user’s responsibility.¹ Once an account is terminated, Jiinubi will not manage the content or provide temporary access for retrieval. All backups associated with the account will be permanently deleted 14 days after the suspension or termination date.²

Administrative Fees and Inquiries

For accounts that have been closed, Jiinubi may assess a $15.00 charge per incident for inquiries regarding previous services or support requests. This fee helps offset the administrative costs of retrieving historical data from archived records.²

Institutional Authority and Policy Evolution

The digital landscape is in a state of constant evolution, requiring frequent updates to the regulatory framework. Jiinubi reserves the right to modify the AUP and the Services it offers at its sole and absolute discretion.¹

Effectiveness of Modifications

Changes to the AUP are effective immediately upon being posted on the Jiinubi website. Users are responsible for regularly reviewing the policy to ensure continued compliance.¹ Continued use of the services after changes have been posted constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.¹

Jiinubi remains the sole judge of what constitutes a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. The provider’s decisions regarding the severity of corrective actions—ranging from warnings to permanent account termination—are final and binding.¹ By utilizing Jiinubi’s infrastructure, users acknowledge that they are entering a partnership that requires mutual respect for the technology and the legal framework that supports it.¹¹

Conclusion

The governance of Jiinubi’s cloud infrastructure is a comprehensive endeavor that balances technical performance with legal accountability. Through the implementation of strictly defined resource limits, anti-spam protocols, and intellectual property warranties, Jiinubi provides a stable environment for digital growth. Users must recognize their role as co-stewards of this environment, ensuring that their activities remain within the established guardrails of the Acceptable Use Policy.¹¹ The failure to adhere to these standards not only risks the continuity of a single user’s service but also the integrity of the broader network. Consequently, the AUP stands as the foundational document for all transactions and interactions within the Jiinubi digital ecosystem.
