seeks to avoid practices which degrade the usability of the ITClick network.
The AUP protects the image and reputation of ITClick as a responsible service
provider by addressing security, reliability, and the privacy of ITClick's systems
and network.
Basis
for Acceptable Use
ITClick provides Internet bandwidth and hosting services for its customers.
Other than for its own uses, ITClick produces no content for transit across
its network. ITClick serves its customers by providing Internet access for the
transmission of information. We require that when you, our customer, agree to
purchase Service from us, you will use our Service legally and responsibly.
The intent of this policy is to make clear certain uses which are inconsistent
with our Acceptable Use Policy and not to exhaustively enumerate all such possible
uses acceptable or not. You accept the primary responsibility to decide whether
any particular use is acceptable. In return for your legal and responsible use
of our Service, ITClick will not review, censure, or limit the use of your Service
in any way.
Lawful
Usage
ITClick’s Internet Services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission
of any material that is deemed in violation of any international, federal and
state regulation either at the sender’s, recipient’s or ITClick’s
site is prohibited. This includes copyrighted material, material legally judged
to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret. Unlawful
access of anyone’s computer system or network is prohibited. ITClick cooperates
fully with all enforcement officials investigating unlawful behavior on our
network. Anyone who publishes materials and information which are accessible
through ITClick’s network is solely responsible for the content of such
materials and information and is solely responsible to know and comply with
all laws applicable to the publication and distribution of such materials and
information.
ITClick does not accept responsibility for the content of the materials and
information published by others which is accessible through the ITClick network
and does not accept responsibility for the violation of any laws resulting from
such publication or distribution. We exercise no control over the content of
the information passing through our network; we only provide access. You must
take responsibility for your actions on the network and those networks you access
through us. Generally, conduct that violates law, regulation, or the accepted
norms of the Internet community, whether or not expressly mentioned in this
AUP, is prohibited. ITClick reserves the right at all times to prohibit activities
that damage its commercial reputation and goodwill.
Each ITClick
customer is responsible for the activities of its customer base/representatives
or end-users and, by accepting service from ITClick, is agreeing to ensure that
its customers/representatives or end-users abide by this AUP. Complaints about
customers/representatives or end-users of ITClick customer will be reviewed
by ITClick for action. If violations of ITClick’s AUP occur, ITClick reserves
the right to terminate services or take action to stop the offending customer
from violating ITClick's AUP as ITClick deems appropriate, without notice.
Security
Breaches / Denial of Service
Any "denial
of service" attack, any attempt to breach authentication or security measures,
any release of a virus or worm, or any unauthorized attempt to gain access to
any other account, host, or network is prohibited.
Obtaining
or attempting to obtain service by any means or device with intent to avoid
payment is prohibited.
Unauthorized
access, alteration, destruction, or any attempt thereof, of any information
of any ITClick customers or end-users by any means or device is prohibited.
These infractions
will result in immediate service termination, which may be without notice.
E-mail
and Usenet News
Using any
ITClick IP address to send duplicative, unsolicited e-mail messages (commercial
or otherwise), or to collect the responses from unsolicited e-mail (for example,
by maintaining a spamvertised Web site), is prohibited.
ITClick
reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether duplicative or
mass e-mail messages are "unsolicited." A complaint from the recipient
is presumptive evidence that the message was unsolicited. ITClick has no obligation
to refer complaints to the sender or to identify complaining parties.
Conduct
that directly or indirectly encourages, permits, or relies on spamming is included
in this prohibition. Examples include failure to implement technical or administrative
measures to prevent mass unsolicited e-mail, or providing spam "support
services" such as e-mail drop boxes or sales of spamware. Commercial messages
that are appropriate under the charter of a newsgroup or mailing list, or that
are expressly solicited by the recipients, are permitted.
Harassment
or Illegal Activity
Conduct
in connection with e-mail, Usenet news, or any other ITClick service that is
an obvious nuisance (such as "mail bombing" or falsifying authorship)
or that would be unlawful in other contexts (for example, threats, harassment,
defamation, obscenity, distribution or possession of child pornography, or software
piracy) is prohibited.
Open
Mail Relays
Maintaining
an open mail relay invites senders of mass unsolicited commercial e-mail to
exploit the server by using it for spamming. Failure or refusal to take appropriate
steps to close an open mail relay on ITClick's network is grounds for temporary
suspension or permanent termination of service at ITClick’s discretion.
Forgery
of Identity
Falsifying
addressing information or otherwise modifying headers to conceal the sender's
or recipient's identity, for the purpose of circumventing this AUP, is prohibited.
This provision is not intended to disallow the use of aliases or anonymous remailers
for any legitimate purpose.
Copyright,
Privacy, and Intellectual Property
Transmission,
distribution or storage of any material in violation of any applicable law or
regulation is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, material protected
by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right used
without proper authorization, and material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes
an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Pursuant to this AUP, ITClick
will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, customers who are repeat infringers.
This prohibition
includes publishing a private e-mail message to third parties, by any means,
without the express prior consent of the author.
Cooperation
with Other Providers
Using ITClick's
facilities to engage in activities that violate the Terms of Service of any
other network access provider is prohibited. For example, sending unsolicited
commercial e-mail through ITClick's facilities to the subscribers of any Internet
or online service provider that disallows unsolicited commercial e-mail is prohibited.
Consequences
of Violation
ITClick is solely responsible for determining if an unacceptable use has occurred.
Even though ITClick does not review or censor materials and information which
are accessible on ITClick’s network or other networks which may be connected
to ITClick’s network, if ITClick becomes aware that its customer is in
violation of the law or this Acceptable Use Policy or any other policy stated
here in, or at our web site, ITClick reserves the right to suspend or terminate
Service without notice. No advice or statement from an employee of ITClick shall
imply or express a warranty or guarantee of any kind, no advice or statement
from an employee of ITClick, shall change or imply a change or amendment to
this Acceptable Use Policy
Generally, when ITClick learns of unacceptable use, ITClick will notify the
party responsible who is then expected to take immediate remedial action to
come back into compliance with ITClick’s Acceptable Use Policy. We expect
to be notified of the actions taken in order to regain compliance. Every effort
will be made to inform the customer prior to any disconnection, and every effort
will be made to re-establish the connection as soon as we have an agreement
to cease unacceptable use. Evidence of illegal or prohibited activities may
be disclosed to law enforcement authorities.
In case of repeated violations of the Acceptable Use Policy, ITClick will permanently
terminate Service to the customer and all deposits and fees will be forfeited.
Modification
ITClick
reserves the right to add, delete, or modify any provision of this AUP at any
time without notice; such changes will be effective immediately upon transmission
of notice by e-mail, postal mail, posting on the ITClick Web site or any other
means.
