A Subscriber hosting websites or services on Subscriber’s server computer supporting spammers or resulting in any of FFmpeg Servers IP space to be listed in any of the various Spam Databases or black hole lists will have its service immediately disconnected. Such suspended service will not be reconnected until such time that Subscriber agrees to remove ANY and ALL traces of the offending material immediately upon reconnection, and agrees to allow FFmpeg Servers access to its server computer(s) to confirm that all material has been COMPLETELY removed.
