We have reviewed the complaint and in our opinion it meets all of the procedural requirements set out in Section 77 of the ECT Act (See http://www.internet.org.za/ect_act.html#Hosting). This notice is issued when an individual alleges that unlawful activity has taken place on a web site that is hosted with Hetzner. In this instance, the notice refers to allegedly offending content located at ' http://memeburn.com/2016/06/axl-rose-tries-remove-unflattering-photo-web/ ' which our records indicate as being under your ownership. Please pay particular attention to the sections entitled Problem Activity and Remedial Action. We are required to inform you of the take-down notice and request that you comply timeously, informing us once you have removed the content. We will liaise with ISPA on your behalf, informing them of the steps taken. Since removing any content could have a significant impact on you, we understand that in certain situations this may not always be possible. As a hosting company, Hetzner does not adjudicate whether the content is offensive or not. Our role is simply to enforce the take-down request as per the ECT Act. We would also like to draw your attention to our Terms of Service (Specific Terms & Conditions; Clause 3.5 & 3.6 [1]). These clauses relate specifically to Hetzners right to suspend / terminate websites that communicate offensive / unlawful content. See https://hetzner.co.za/legal/our-hosting-terms/.
