Terms of Service

Usenet Service.

We will provide to Company's subscribers ("End Users") access to all Usenet groups carried by the Service via servers accessed through your domain name. Company shall only be permitted to resell the Services to End Users. Company acknowledges and agrees that Services shall not be sold to another reseller or supplier. We may adjust the Usenet groups we carry at any time and in our sole discretion. Company shall specify a range of IP addresses which may access the Service. We will not be responsible for providing the Company or End Users with any internet service, software, hardware, bandwidth or other connection to access the Services, all of which shall be the responsibility of the Company or its End Users. We may deny access to any End User who attempts to access the Service if such access would cause the number of End Users' simultaneous connections to exceed the amount set forth in an order form which we accepted or if the number is potentially harmful to our Services or pursuant to the invoice sent by us to the Company (the "Invoice"). Company acknowledges and agrees that we shall be the exclusive provider of Wholesale Usenet Services to Company on a worldwide basis during the term of any agreement between Provider and Company for Usenet Services. Company shall not be allowed to acquire or consolidate any UseNet services without the written consent of Provider while it is receiving UseNet services from Provider.

Company agrees that any content distributed through the Service by the Company and the End Users: (a) shall not infringe on any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy; (b) shall not violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation (including without limitation the laws and regulations governing export control); (c) shall not be defamatory, libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing; (d) shall not be obscene or contain child pornography or, if otherwise pornographic or indecent, shall be distributed only to people legally permitted to receive such files; (e) shall not violate any laws regarding unfair competition, anti-discrimination or false advertising; (f) shall not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information; and (g) shall be in compliance with this Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

At Company's own expense, it shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules, ordinances, and orders regarding its activities related to the Services and this Agreement.

Spam

There is not any specific definition of "spam", however, We consider improper and abusive positing as a detriment to all users of the Service. We consider spam to be any message which does any of the following: imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; is of a commercial nature; solicits entry into a web page; promotes or solicits the services of a business, charity or person; contains a file which is labeled with a URL address; promotes or offers a product or service; is a repeated posting; or solicits people to purchase or sell anything. We do not tolerate any spam. While We make attempts to prevent spam, We cannot guarantee that the Service will be spam-free. We deploy automatic word and "Spam" filters that may terminate your postings and those of End Users without delivering them. The Company agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the use or spread of spam through its own service and through the Services We provide. We may terminate access to any End User who is engaged in spamming or posting any spam to the Service and We may prevent such End User from accessing the Service. Furthermore, if We determine that an End User has engaged in spamming, We may charge Company a spam clean-up charge.

Copyright

The Service must not be used to transmit or store copyrighted works of others without their permission or violate any person's copyright or other proprietary rights in any form or fashion. If We determine that an End User, through his/her use of the Service, has infringed or may be infringing on anyone else's proprietary rights, including without limitation, violating another's copyright, We shall, among other rights, terminate that End User's account and deny the End User access to the Service. In addition, if the Company does not: (i) terminate the account of an End User or cooperate with Provider in terminating access to an End User who has violated another's copyright; (ii) implement a policy ("DMCA Policy") dealing with copyright infringement and notification consistent with the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"); or (iii) comply with or enforce the terms of its DMCA Policy, We may, in our sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and all End Users' access. Upon receiving proper notification pursuant to the DMCA that information that is on the Service (including information an End User may have posted), is infringing another's rights, We may remove or block access to the material identified in that notification. If an End User has posted the information that is the subject of such notification, We may notify the Company and/or the End User that such material has been removed or access to the material has been disabled. Upon receiving such notification, Company shall take reasonable steps promptly to notify the End User to whom such notification applies that such material has been removed or access to the material has been disabled. Company agrees that it will maintain a Repeat Infringer Database at all times.

Illegal and/or Offensive Posts.

We may also, in our sole discretion, terminate any End User's access if such End User, in our sole discretion, has been involved in transmitting, storing or using any of the following: access codes, credit card numbers, measures used to defeat identification or protection of copyrighted materials or other similar information; chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other scheme in which people are recruited to make payments to others while expecting to receive payments from people who are recruited below them; child pornography, or any other illegal, offensive or inappropriate content. We are required and will notify the appropriate authorities if We become aware that any End User is engaged in posting of articles dealing with or depicting child pornography or any practice by which minors are solicited to engage in a sexual act.

Company's Responsibilities.

If Company receives a notice that any End User has violated this Agreement or has engaged in behavior that We consider a violation of this Agreement, Company shall deny such End User access to the Service. If the Company becomes aware of any End User's breach of this Agreement or is aware or notified that an End User has engaged in behavior described in this Agreement, prior to receiving a notice, Company must immediately notify Provider of such and shall, at Company's own costs, take whatever commercially reasonable measures We recommend.
