Principles Governing Acceptable use of the Internet by the Customer

Responsibility and Respect – The Internet is a network intended for use by mature, responsible 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 users. 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 it’s 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) Unsolicited Commercial Messages – Alentus strictly prohibits Unsolicited Commercial Messages, also known as “spam”. This includes using our network to distribute unsolicited bulk messages or using any outside network to send bulk messages advertising a web site, business, charity or other organization and any products or services including but not limited to bulk email software or bulk email services to any other persons or any other activity promoting, aiding or otherwise enabling the transmission of unwanted bulk messages. Use of email account lists obtained for the purpose of transmitting bulk messages is prohibited. The term “opt-in list” means each and every person on the list has given express prior written consent directly to the originator of any messages prior to the recipient receiving any messages from the originator. Alentus reserves the right to immediately and without prior warning terminate any customer account associated with unsolicited email and no refund will be issued for any unused service fees. Alentus reserves the right to determine if any particular activity is in violation of this or any other policy. Alentus incurs a direct cost to clean-up, terminate and otherwise handle complaints and damages done by persons involved in Unsolicited Commercial Messages. For this reason, Alentus will charge the customer for clean-up fees, termination fees and other fees associated with termination or removal of accounts involved in Unsolicited Commercial Email. Such fees are typically $US 500 per incident but may be more depending on the nature of the incident. The actual amount of any Clean-up fees charged by Alentus are the sole discretion of Alentus.
d) Compliance with Laws – The Customer will ensure that their 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.
e) Validation of Information – The Customer is responsible for validating the integrity of the information and data it receives or transmits over the Internet.
f) 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.
g) Discretion and Judgement – 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.
h) Pornography – Due to legal and social issues, we will not accept any customers who publish, store or otherwise process pornographic material. If an existing customer violates this principle, Alentus reserves the right to immediately terminate the Customer’s account and no refund will be issued for any unused service fees. Material deemed to be pornographic is the sole discretion of Alentus, with due regard to the laws of Alberta, Canada.
i) Excessive Service Usage – Customers are restricted from using excessive amounts of CPU processing, network bandwidth or other resources provided by Alentus. Judgements of excessive usage are determined solely by Alentus and will be considered in comparison to other Alentus customers using similar services and paying Alentus similar rates. Alentus may contact customers with resource intensive requirements and attempt to accommodate such needs. In the case that an agreement cannot be made to the satisfaction of both Alentus and the customer, and that the customer continues to use excessive resources, Alentus reserves the right to immediately terminate any customer account associated with excessive resource usage. Accounts or services involved in excessive resource usage may be suspended or terminated immediately by Alentus without prior notice.
