Acceptable Use Policy
("AUP")
1. General Information.
As a provider of web site hosting, and other Internet-related
services, moreweb ("Company") offers its Clients,
the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public,
private, commercial, and non-commercial information.
Company respects that the Internet provides a forum
for free and open discussion and dissemination of
information, however, when there are competing interests
at issue, Company reserves the right to take certain
preventative or corrective actions as they comply
with all regulated legalities. In order to protect
these competing interests, Company has developed this
Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and
explains certain terms of each Client's respective
service agreement and is intended as a guide to the
Client's rights and obligations when utilizing Company's
services. This AUP will be revised from time to time.
A Client's use of Company's services after changes
to the AUP are posted on Company's web site, HTTP://WWW.MOREWEB.COM,
will constitute the Client'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 Company cannot monitor, verify, warrant,
or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information
that users may acquire. For this reason, the user
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
Company cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and
will not attempt to do so, Company cannot accept any
responsibility for injury to its users, Clients or
subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable,
offensive, or illegal Internet communications. When
users or Clients disseminate information through the
Internet, they also must keep in mind that Company
does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility
for any information its users, Clients or 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 Company's network and may reach a
large number of people, including but not limited
to Clients, subscribers and non-subscribers of Company,
Clients' and subscribers' postings to the Internet
may affect other Clients and subscribers and may harm
Company's goodwill, business reputation, and operations.
For these reasons, Clients and subscribers violate
Company policy and the service agreement when they,
their Clients, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage
in activities described herein.
2. Purpose.
The purpose of this AUP is to enhance the quality
of the Services and to protect Company's Clients,
and the Internet community as a whole, from illegal,
irresponsible, or disruptive Internet activities.
This AUP applies to each Client and its employees,
agents, contractors or other users of such Client
who obtain Services from Company (each such person
being a "User"). Each User should use common sense
and good judgment in connection with the Services.

in using the Internet. Parents and guardians should
remain aware at all times of what is on the Internet
and how the minors under their care are using the
Services and the Internet.
