Hello-
I just wanted to ask some of you seasoned web hosting providers out there if this sounds like a good TOS/AUP. Please reply and tell me of any shortcomings you see... Thanks.

Any and all pornographic content and sex-related merchandising is prohibited on all <<company>> servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content or links to adult content elsewhere.

Examples of unacceptable content or links:

Server Abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of <<company>> is strictly prohibited.
