Service Agreement and Conditions of Use
Waztech Internet Services

The policies and guidelines expressed herein supplement the rights and obligations of the parties under the Service Agreement. This document establishes operating principles and acceptable use policies as they relate to the Customers use of the Internet and the connection/services provided by Waztech to the Customer under the Service Agreement. Your site and/or domain on the Waztech servers constitutes your acceptance of that which is contained herein.

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 Waztech 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
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:

1. Knowledge of the Internet
The Customer agrees to obtain a basic knowledge of the Internet and its operating principles and procedures.

2. Improper Uses
The Customer will avoid violation of certain generally accepted guidelines on Internet usage such as restrictions on mass mailings and mass advertisements (spam), 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.

3. 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.

4. Validation of Information
The Customer is responsible for validating the integrity of the information and data it receives or transmits over the Internet.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Pornography
We adhere to U.S. laws and regulations regarding adult-related material of any nature.

8. Excessive CPU usages
Customers will not be allowed to use excessive amounts of CPU processing on any of our servers such as chat rooms. These accounts will be suspended until the owner of said account removes such processes.

9. Resale of services
Customers may resell web space within their own account, but are responsible for the entire domain site content. No third party may access the account via ftp, telnet, FrontPage or any other mechanism. If clients need access to their web space, you will need to set up an additional account for them at resller rates. Customers may not resell general mail services including, but not limited to mail forwarding capabilities, POP accounts and autoresponders. The customer may not at any time resell access to, or use of, Waztech's preinstalled scripts as well as any custom or personally owned scripts for use by a third party while installed on the web server.

10. You agree that any material you publish which would commonly be considered "indecent" adult material, will not be allowed on the Waztech network. Any such sites placed on the Waztech server will be removed immediately and without warning.

11. You agree that the existence of a curtain page does not necessarily preclude any further restrictions on content, including policies regarding high-volume adult sites.

You agree not to hold Waztech responsible for any loss you suffer as a result of using our services, including but not limited to loss resulting from service delays and incomplete or interrupted service, regardless of cause. However, Waztech recognizes that any complete service interruption in excess of 24 hours will justify a refund or credit to its customers for the appropriate amount not to exceed the amount paid to Waztech for services, and that no further compensation will be made.
