| After reading many terms of service stipulations I am frankly skeptical that a web hoster can be free of abusive terms and conditions.
On reading yours I would say that you are in the overwhelming dominant position and that you can abuse your position as the terms allocate you extensive powers.
For a point for point contractual analysis please remit via Paypal $35 for the first hour of legal research to grasshopper2001@hotmail.com.
A few points to mention your terminology allows and prohibits what you don't necessarily wish it too therefor it can be better written. Generally I am a writer editor epublishing (I have be doing it since 1988 at one point my site was reviewed by an editor of the Wall Street Journal I don't think he was there at the time who referred refers to me as a pioneer).
On principle I will not subject myself to the laws of every idiot jurisdiction in the world regarding what I write if that is the case free speech on the Internet is DEAD. Even less I will not subject my money and business to the idiot laws of every state locality or nation.
For one you say a that "Harm to minors. Using the Services to harm, or attempt to harm, minors in any way." is would be considered a basis for termination of service for a breech of contract:
Just as Sokratis (Socrates) tried for corrupting the youth of Athens and that has nothing to do with sex or porno.
"At a time when Athens was seeking to recover from humiliating defeat, the Athenian public court was induced by three leading public figures to try Socrates for impiety and for corrupting the youth of Athens. According to Dr Will Beldam, he was the first person to question everything and everyone, and apparently it offended the leaders of this time. He was found guilty as charged, and sentenced to drink hemlock, which cost him his life." (Socrates: wikipedia.org)
A simple observation I can make is that you and most hosters don't own or control the Internet so why do you feel required to police it before the issues arise and try to dictate every petty matter?
What I found strange is that I found out some adult host services (who allow porno sites) extortionately in contract prohibit them just so they (the hosters can cut them off at will).
As these matters have detrimentally prejudiced me and by the way any attorneys wish to file suit for violation of the:
1. Commerce Clause of the US Constitution?
2. or Title 42 sec 1983?
