The policies and guidelines expressed herein supplement the rights
and obligations of the parties under the Service Agreement of even
date. This document establishes operating principles and acceptable
use policies as they relate to the Customer's use of the Internet and
the connection/services provided by The San Juan Web to the Customer
under the Service Contract Agreement.
The Internet is a voluntary association of users interested in and
willing to exchange information and data with other Internet users.
At present there is no oversight group providing governance over the
principles, policies or procedures for use of the Internet or the
information and data accessed via the Internet.
In order to facilitate their contractual relationship the Customer
and The San Juan Web wish to define a working protocol of principles
and policies and establish operating guidelines and acceptable
standards of use of the Internet.
1. Responsibility and Respect - The
Internet is a network intended for use by mature, adult users. The
Customer recognizes this principle and undertakes at all times to act
with respect, courtesy and responsibility, giving due regard to the
interests and rights of other Internet user groups. This general
guideline carries with it the following specific responsibilities:
a) Knowledge of the Internet - The Customer agrees to
obtain a basic knowledge of the Internet and its operating principles
and procedures.
b) Improper Uses - The Customer will avoid violation
of certain generally accepted guidelines on Internet usage such as
restrictions on mass mailings and mass advertisements, pirating or
copying of software, mail bombing or other methods of attempting to
deny service or access to other users, and attempts to violate
security.
c) Compliance with Laws - The Customer will ensure
that its use of the Internet complies with all applicable federal,
state and local law and regulation, including but not limited to
those principles of law which protect against compromise of
copyrights, trade secrets, proprietary information and other
intellectual property rights, libel or defamation of character,
invasion of privacy, tortious interference, and export of technical
or military data to prohibited countries.
d) Validation of Information - The Customer is
responsible for validating the integrity of the information and data
it receives or transmits over the Internet.
e) Security - The Customer is required to protect the
security of its Internet account and usage. The Customer+s password
will be treated as private and confidential and not disclosed to or
shared with any third parties.
f) Discretion and Judgment - The Customer is expected
to use discretion in the treatment and handling of Internet
information and data and to take particular care to insure that adult
information is not transmitted to juvenile users of the Internet.
g) Pornography - Due to legal and social issues, we
will not accept any customers who publish pornographic images. If a
customer publishes pornographic images, The San Juan Web will suspend
that customer's account and discontinue service to that customer.
h) Excessive CPU usages - Customers will not be
allowed to use excessive amounts of CPU processing on any of our
servers or face immediate suspension. For example: 1) a few customers
have tried re-selling our counters or auto-responders to the rest of
the world which caused an excessive amount of requests on our
server(s). 2) email bombs. 3) re-selling CGI access to other 3rd
parties.
