Adult-oriented sites, designed for entertainment or commercial purposes, are not allowed on IperWeb servers. Forbidden sites include those that provide access to pornographic materials, whether for free or for payment, regardless of whether adult verification is used or not.

Exceptions are made for educational sites, sites providing only links to other sites, and text materials of an adult nature, although we reserve the right to make further restrictions as necessary.

Other Information

The "hit profile" of an adult-oriented site is amazingly different from any other kind of site. Because there are relentless, insatiable hordes of visitors, it is almost impossible to control the bandwidth requirements of such sites in a manner that will satisfy the visitors, the adult site customer, and our other customers. The peak hit frequency of some adult sites is extreme; even when access is blocked to restrict bandwidth, the impact on servers is more than noticeable.

Our services are tuned for general purpose use. It is in the interest of efficiency and reliability to restrict these sites, in order to provide the best service for the majority of our customers. We have no intent to curb free speech, and strongly support the Blue Ribbon campaign of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
