ToS basically say, you can NOT run a server or any services. You
accept all responsibility. We provide a pipe to the internet that may
or maynot work. You will get spam, pr0n, malware, etc. You can not do
anything illegal, where were decide what is illegal. We have the right
to change anything at anytime and make it retro-active. You have no
rights and we are always right.

Or something like that ;)
