As a provider of web site hosting
and other Internet-related services, 65realtraffic.com offers
its customers (also known as subscribers), and their customers
and users, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of
public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information.
65realtraffic.com respects that the Internet provides a forum
for free and open discussion and dissemination of information,
however, when there are competing interests at issue, 65realtraffic,
LLC reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective
actions. In order to protect these competing interests, 65realtraffic,
LLC has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"),
which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's
respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to
the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing 65realtraffic,
LLC’s services. This AUP will be revised from time to time.
A customer's use of 65realtraffic.com’s services after changes
to the AUP are posted on 65realtraffic.com’s web site, www.etrafficers.com,
will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional
terms of the AUP that result from those changes.
One important aspect of the Internet
is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts
for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also
places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of
those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire
and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers
obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in
mind that 65realtraffic.com cannot monitor, verify, warrant,
or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that
subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must
exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information
obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that
some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit
or otherwise offensive. Because 65realtraffic.com cannot monitor
or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, 65realtraffic,
LLC cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers
that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal
Internet communications.
When subscribers disseminate information
through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that 65realtraffic,
LLC does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility
for any information its subscribers may create. When users
place information on the Internet, they have the same liability
as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and
other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create
is carried over 65realtraffic.com’s network and may reach a
large number of people, including both subscribers and nonsubscribers
of 65realtraffic.com, subscribers' postings to the Internet
may affect other subscribers and may harm 65realtraffic.com’s
goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons,
subscribers violate 65realtraffic.com policy and the service
agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries
engage in the following prohibited activities:
Spamming
-- Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over
the Internet (known as "spamming"). It is not only
harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes
toward 65realtraffic.com, but also because it can overload
65realtraffic.com’s network and disrupt service to 65realtraffic,
LLC subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited.
When a complaint is received, 65realtraffic.com has the discretion
to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients
were from an "opt-in" email list.
Intellectual Property Violations -- Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates
the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights,
trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy,
and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities.
Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity,
or other personal rights of others. 65realtraffic.com is required
by law to remove or block access to customer content upon
receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is
also 65realtraffic.com’s policy to terminate the privileges
of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.
Obscene Speech or Materials -- Using 65realtraffic.com’s network to advertise, transmit,
store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography
or obscene speech or material. 65realtraffic.com is required
by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes
aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted
through 65realtraffic.com’s network.
Defamatory or Abusive Language -- Using 65realtraffic.com’s network as a means to transmit
or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.
Forging of Headers -- Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in
whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.
Illegal or Unauthorized Access
to Other Computers or Networks
-- Accessing illegally or without authorization computers,
accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting
to penetrate security measures of another individual's system
(often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that
might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration
(i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering
activity).
Distribution of Internet Viruses,
Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities
-- Distributing information regarding the creation of and
sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding,
mailbombing, or denial of service attacks. Also, activities
that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others
to effectively use the network or any connected network, system,
service, or equipment.
Facilitating a Violation of
this AUP -- Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available
any software, program, product, or service that is designed
to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the
means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mailbombing,
denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.
Export Control Violations -- Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise,
to points outside the United
States.
Usenet Groups -- 65realtraffic.com reserves the right not to accept postings from newsgroups
where we have actual knowledge that the content of the newsgroup
violates the AUP.
Other Illegal Activities -- Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal,
including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available
ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit
cards, and pirating software.
Other Activities -- Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that
65realtraffic.com determines to be harmful to its subscribers,
operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.
As we have pointed out, the responsibility
for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily
with the subscriber. 65realtraffic.com will not, as an ordinary
practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to
ensure that they comply with 65realtraffic.com policy or applicable
law. When 65realtraffic.com becomes aware of harmful activities,
however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity,
including but not limited to, removing information, shutting
down a web site, implementing screening software designed
to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet,
or take any other action it deems appropriate.
65realtraffic.com also is aware
that many of its subscribers are, themselves, providers of
Internet services, and that information reaching 65realtraffic,
LLC’s facilities from those subscribers may have originated
from a customer of the subscriber or from another third-party.
65realtraffic.com does not require its subscribers who offer
Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web
sites created by customers of its subscribers. 65realtraffic,
LLC has the right to directly take action against a customer
of a subscriber. Also, 65realtraffic.com may take action against
the 65realtraffic.com subscriber because of activities of a
customer of the subscriber, even though the action may effect
other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, 65realtraffic,
LLC anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services
will cooperate with 65realtraffic.com in any corrective or
preventive action that 65realtraffic.com deems necessary. Failure
to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is
a violation of 65realtraffic.com policy.
65realtraffic.com also is concerned
with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites.
In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than
other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and
voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and
otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, 65realtraffic,
LLC urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line
communications are insecure. 65realtraffic.com cannot take
any responsibility for the security of information transmitted
over 65realtraffic.com’s facilities.
65realtraffic.com will not intentionally
monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received
by its subscribers unless required to do so by law, governmental
authority, or when public safety is at stake. 65realtraffic,
LLC may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine
that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, 65realtraffic,
LLC may disclose information, including but not limited to,
information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using
our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court
order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute,
regulation, or governmental request. 65realtraffic.com assumes
no obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information
has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law
from giving such notice. Finally, 65realtraffic.com may disclose
subscriber information or information transmitted over its
network where necessary to protect 65realtraffic.com and others
from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper
operation of the system.
65realtraffic.com expects that its
subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply
fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of on-line
communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those
laws will violate 65realtraffic.com policy. Finally, 65realtraffic,
LLC wishes to emphasize that in signing the service agreement,
subscribers indemnify 65realtraffic.com for any violation of
the service agreement, law, or 65realtraffic.com policy, that
results in loss to 65realtraffic.com or the bringing of any
claim against 65realtraffic.com by any third-party. This means
that if 65realtraffic.com is sued because of a subscriber's
or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will
pay any damages awarded against 65realtraffic.com, plus costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees.
We hope this AUP is helpful in
clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including 65realtraffic,
LLC and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet.
Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP
should be sent to abuse@etrafficers.com
