Acceptable use policy

CFDeveloper has a zero tolerance policy for spam and warez. Any sites found to contain, promote, or link to such content are subject to immediate removal from our service.
Use of CFDeveloper web space is intended for development purposes only or hosting personal web pages developed in ColdFusion. It should not be used for commercial purposes.

I. CFDeveloper cannot be held responsible for the content of pages hosted under our free service. CFDeveloper does not review pages for content before they are posted, and does not verify, endorse or otherwise take responsibility for the contents of any user-created pages. However, we reserve the right to remove any page from our servers which we determine is in violation of our rules and guidelines. Users are solely responsible for all files contained in their own directory, and can be held legally liable for the contents of their web site.

II. CFDeveloper may terminate user accounts at any time, without notice for conduct that violates these guidelines, or for any other reason, and may terminate user accounts and delete any and all user information for conduct that CFDeveloper believes is harmful to the business of CFDeveloper, or any of its users, or partners. Pages found in violation of these items may be subject to immediate deletion and removal from our servers, and their webmasters subject to banishment from the CFDeveloper network. The following is a non-exclusive list of content and behaviors that are UNACCEPTABLE on CFDeveloper.


a. Content that condones, promotes, contains, or links to warez, cracks, hacks, their associated utilities, or other piracy related information, whether for educational purposes or not.
b. Content that has been promoted through the sending of unsolicited email (spamming) or mail fraud schemes, or pages that promote or condone the sending of unsolicited email. Users who utilize CFDeveloper resources, including email addresses for spam are also subject to prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.
c. Content that commits acts of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or other intellectual property infringement.
d. Content that is racist, or otherwise extremely offensive to others, including content which aggravates, harasses, threatens, defames, or abuses others.

f. Sites that exploit images of children under 18 years of age.
g. Binary files, downloads, etc. that are not linked to an html page on the users site, such that an advertising banner is displayed. Links back to files on a user's CFDeveloper page from other sites must also link first to an html page on CFDeveloper, which then links to the binary files.
h. Although CFDeveloper allows posting to tgp sites, we reserve the right to intervene if the traffic becomes excessive. By excessive we mean to the point of bringing down our server and/or interfering with our non-tgp webmasters. CFDeveloper will keep its server fast and responsive for our webmasters who generate quality traffic. CFDeveloper considers tgp traffic low quality traffic.
