<h5>Service Scope and Usage</h5>

<p class="note">Sploder's servers do not have unlimited bandwidth. Bandwidth limitations apply for all users. Users may not post games hosted on Sploder's servers in such a fashion that the same game is repeated multiple times on the same

page, nor needlessly repeated on many pages of a site. This includes bulletin-board sig-files and sites' global navigation. This causes

repeated, redundant, and sometimes concurrent downloads from Sploder's servers, and quickly uses up bandwidth.</p>

<p class="note">If a user uses the system in such a way to adversely effect the performance or efficient operation of the site,

Sploder&trade; reserves the right to terminate the user's account. Users must not attempt to circumvent the security and

privacy systems in place, or attempt to hack the system.</p>

<p class="note">Sploder&trade; reserves the right to terminate service to you if you do not meet these terms. Sploder&trade; will also cooperate with authorities through its respective service providers.</p>

<p class="note">Sploder&trade; cannot be held responsible for limitations placed on the system by its service providers.</p>
