In summary: Marlin Ink is concerned about quality access for all its members.
No warez, mp3 or Adult Sites permitted. Sites of this nature will be removed from the system without any notice. Members are able to setup one free trial membership, any attempt to sign up multiple accounts will cause the deletion of the related accounts. Marlin Ink does not allow storage of large binary files on the free trial membership and the system automatically deletes any files larger than 400k. This policy provides for an equitable use of our facilities without any individual being able to abuse resources. If you need to store larger files then you should join one of the other accounts.

If Marlin Ink becomes aware of the presence of copyright

the alleged presence of such materials, Marlin Ink will:

infringe the purported copyright. Marlin Ink will also alert
the Member that absent such a response, Marlin Ink reserves
the right to delete the page/site; and

2. If the Member fails to respond within five days,
Marlin Ink will make a decision whether to remove the
page/site. If the alerted party responds to the allegations
and claims the page is not infringing, Marlin Ink will either
forward the response to the third party alleging the
infringement, or in the case that Marlin Ink has discovered
the infringement, make a decision whether to remove the
page. If in its sole discretion, Marlin Ink concludes that
one of its Member's home pages contains a particularly
flagrant copyright violation, Marlin Ink reserves the right
