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 services provided by Premier Technologies to the Customer
under the Service Contract Agreement.
General
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 Premier Technologies wish to define a
working protocol of principles and policies and establish operating
guidelines and acceptable standards of use of the Internet.
To this end the parties agree as follows:
Principles Governing Acceptable use of
the Internet by the Customer
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, tortuous
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.

protect the security of its Internet account and usage. The Customer(s)
password will be treated as private and confidential and will not be
disclosed to or shared with any third parties by Premier Technologies.
Should the customer disclose their password to any third party, the
customer agrees to take full responsibility for the actions of said third
party in connection with their account.
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.
