6.4 Pour des raisons de sécurité, OVH se réserve la
possibilité de procéder à la suspension immédiate et sans
préavis de tout Serveur sur lequel serait proposé à titre
gracieux ou onéreux, un service ouvert au public de Proxy,
IRC, VPN, TOR, pour lequel OVH aurait connaissance
d'une utilisation malveillante, frauduleuse ou illicite.
