Webs takes a tough stance against users who use our services for illegal purposes. That is why we remove sites that violate our terms immediately after being made aware of them. Sometimes, law enforcement wishes to follow up on the case to find the criminal. While we are perfectly happy to cooperate with law enforcement at all times, we also have a responsibility to our users' privacy. Therefore, we have created this guide to provide law enforcement with guidelines on obtaining IP and identifying information and site preservation.
People who use our system for illegal purposes typically do not purchase any of our premium services and since our signup process requires only a username, email address, and password, it is difficult to positively identify the culprits. However, Webs maintains IP logs of all account creations and account users.
Webs will conduct IP information searches on any account that has existed within the past 6 months under order of subpoena and for a witness fee of $50 per user account.
Subpoenas and payments should be mailed to:
Freewebs, Inc.

Silver Spring, MD 20910
Requests for site preservation must be made within 30 days of the site being taken down. It is best to couple a request for a site to be taken down with a request for site preservation. Webs will preserve sites as long as requested and charges a preservation fee of $10 per month.
Payments should be made out to:
