The following Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) will set forth general and specific information in regards to the use of TurkReno’s services.
Prohibited Use
Child Pornography – Child Erotica
Federal child exploitation statutes set forth the illegality of possession, production, reception, transport or distribution of any sexually explicit depiction of children. Any user found to commit this type of abuse will have service suspended immediately until remedy or face service termination. Offenders will be promptly terminated and reported to law enforcement.
Illegal Use
Users may not transmit, retransmit or store materials in violation of any federal, state or local laws or regulations. Users may not abuse or fraudulently use products or services offered by TurkReno nor allow/permit such use by clients or third parties. This includes but is not limited to trademark infringement, defamation, indecency or obscenity.
Prohibited Services
TurkReno prohibits hosting of any type of proxy, facilitation of a proxy connection, using a proxy of any kind to connect to its network or use of an IRC server (private or public) on its network. Any user found to commit this type of abuse will have service suspended immediately until remedy or face service termination. Repeat offenders will be promptly terminated.
TurkReno prohibits any type of torrent, bit-torrent or P2P services on any part of the TurkReno Network. Violations of this policy will result in immediate termination.
Network Filtering/Blocking
Users in violation of any provision set forth in this document may have content or traffic blocked or filtered as a remedy of abuse. Notification of such filtering/blocking likely will be sent to the user, however there is no guarantee that such notification will be sent. Filtering/blocking may be manual or automatic depending on the nature of the offense.
Emails
The sending of bulk mail is ONLY permitted AFTER Confirmed Opt-In has been verified by the Abuse Desk. Starting such a mail campaign without the approval of TurkReno’s Abuse Desk will result in service suspension or termination until verification and approval has been made. Complaints generated in regards to bulk mail are immediately deemed as proof that the recipient did not request such emails and therefore is considered abuse. TurkReno reserves the right to deny the approval request.
Following use of service is strictly prohibited, and may result in immediate termination of service.
- Spam. Sending Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) for any purpose whatsoever.
- Spamvertising. Having third parties send out UBE/UCE on any user’s behalf to advertise URLs or any service on TurkReno’s network.
Users must configure any email server in such a way that it will not accept third party emails for forwarding such as an open relay. SMTP servers must be configured in such a way that any user must authenticate to send email per TurkReno specification.
TurkReno’s Abuse Desk will not send/forward complaints to users for the purposes of list-washing. Should a user have received permission from TurkReno’s Abuse Desk to run a true “Confirmed Opt-in” campaign, complaints will be handled in such a fashion that the sender may remove the recipient from their list after they have proven to the Abuse Desk that the user did opt-in. Any approved campaign found to be operating using third party “bought” lists where opt-in confirmation cannot provided, service will be suspended. Further, time stamps and IP addresses in a database with a recipient’s mail address WILL NOT suffice as sufficient proof of Confirmed Opt-in. We will need to inspect the confirmation emails’ headers to make sure e-mail came from a 3rd party server. Recording a time stamp, email address and IP address is not Confirmed Opt-in.
TurkReno may charge $45.00 “Administrative” fee upon receipt for each complaint, upto 3 notifications. After fourth notification, service will be suspended followed by a $45 reconnection fee in addition to the abuse fee as defined. The fine should be paid within 24 hours to avoid any service interruptions.
DMCA – 17 USC §512 “DMCA”
Violations of 17 USC §512 “DMCA” will be promptly handled by TurkReno by means of proper notification and confirmation. After receiving notification of DMCA violation(s), TurkReno will act promptly to notify the infringer of the identified infringement. Should a user of TurkReno not respond to the notice of our Administration, the infringed material will be blocked, filtered or otherwise be suspended until the user complies. A fee of $65 is due immediately upon notification of such complaint. Failure to pay any fee(s) may result in account termination. TurkReno reserves the right to terminate the service upon receiving such complaint.

Users are responsible for the proper secure configuration of their services and are responsible for any damages caused by their neglect or exposure of vulnerabilities whether intentional or unintentional.
Release of Liability
