Customers should not attempt to access the sites of other Customers, and should not attempt to hinder the operation of our servers in any way.

Sites with unacceptable content will be removed from our servers.
4.8.3. Use of Disk Space
The Customer may not resell or give away disk space to any third party without written permission from Petrol Digital.
