Acceptable Use Policy |
A. General:
ELM and its affiliates provide to business and consumer users a variety of information technology related services, including such service as various electronic mail (email) packages and services, world wide web hosting arrangements, online, and internet-related services (each, a “Service”). ELM customers are solely responsible for the content and messages that they post, distribute or otherwise make available using ELM networks and Services. ELM encourages its customers to self-rate their websites using a major rating agency such as the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) (http://www.icra.org). B. Prohibited Activities: It is contrary to ELM policy for any of its customers or other Service user to effect or participate in any of the activities listed below (whether actual or attempted and whether directly or indirectly) through a Service.
Each of the above practices (each, a “Prohibited Activity”) constitutes abuse of ELM Services, networks and facilities and interferes with other Service users. Accordingly, these practices are prohibited. C. Responsibility for Third Parties: Any Prohibited Activity effected or participated in (whether actual or attempted and whether directly or indirectly) by a third party on behalf of or otherwise for the benefit of an ELM customer or any customer or end user of an ELM customer will be considered a Prohibited Activity engaged in by the ELM customer. D. Rights and Remedies: Engaging (or permitting others to engage) in Prohibited Activity may result in termination or suspension of the ELM customer’s and/or other offender’s account and/or access to Services. ELM may, where feasible, implement technical mechanisms to prevent a Prohibited Activity. Nothing here limits ELM’s rights and remedies (available at law or in equity) in any way with respect to any Prohibited Activity, and ELM may take any additional actions it may deem appropriate with respect to a Prohibited Activity, including taking action to recover the costs of identifying offenders and removing them from or discontinuing providing them Service. |
