or agreements.
Inappropriate Actions. Company does not tolerate hacking and attacks. “Hacking” is any
unauthorized attempt to monitor, access or modify computer system information or interfere with
normal system operations, whether this involves Company equipment or any computer system or
network that is accessed through Company Services. An “attack” is any interference with Internet
service to any User, host or network, including, but not limited to, mail-bombing, ping flooding,
broadcast attempts or any attempt to overload a system to interrupt service. Inappropriate activity
may result in civil or criminal liability. The Company will investigate such activity, and will, as
appropriate, involve law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users involved in inappropriate
actions.
Security. User is responsible for any misuse of Company Services. Therefore, User must take steps
to ensure that others do not use User’s account to gain unauthorized access to Company Services. In
all cases, User is solely responsible for the security of any device User chooses to connect to
Company Services, including any data stored or shared on that device. It is User’s responsibility to
implement and maintain security procedures for User’s network or system. Company is not
responsible for any loss or damaged caused by hacking, attacks and other related activities.

Responsibility for Content. Company takes no responsibility for any material created or accessible
on or through Company Services. Company is not obligated to monitor or exercise any editorial
control over such material, but reserves the right to do so. In the event that Company becomes aware
that any such material may violate this Policy and/or expose Company to civil or criminal liability,
Company reserves the right to block access to such material and suspend or terminate any User
creating, storing or disseminating such material. Company further reserves the right to cooperate with
legal authorities and third parties in the investigation of alleged wrongdoing, including disclosing the
identity of the User that Company deems responsible for the wrongdoing.
Reporting Violations. Violations of this Policy may be reported to Company at [email protected]
Enforcement of Policy. The failure of Company to enforce this Policy, for whatever reason, shall
not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any time. User agrees that if any portion of this
Policy is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law
as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.
