Valley Policy
It is the policy of
Cannon Valley to provide its customers access to the broadest possible number
of organizations connected to the Internet. This is accomplished through
connectivity to one or more state, multi-state regional, or national backbone
networks. With the exception of information specifically authored by or on
behalf of Cannon Valley, Cannon Valley does not develop or publish, nor does
Cannon Valley review, censor, or edit the materials and information which are
accessible through the Cannon Valley service networks, or the materials and
information which are accessible through the other computer networks which may
be connected to the Cannon Valley service networks. The persons and
organizations, including Cannon Valley customers who publish materials and
information, which are accessible through the Cannon Valley service networks,
are solely responsible for the content of such materials and information and
are solely responsible to know and to comply with all laws applicable to the
publication of such materials and information. Cannon Valley does not accept
responsibility for the content of the materials and information published by
others that is accessible through the Cannon Valley service networks and does
not accept responsibility for the violation of any laws resulting from such
publication.
Cannon
Valley Guidelines
It is the
responsibility of all Cannon Valley customers and their constituents who have
access to the Cannon Valley service networks and to the networks of other
providers, to comply with the Cannon Valley Acceptable Use Policy and the
acceptable use policies governing those other networks. The following
guidelines are part of the Cannon Valley Acceptable Use Policy.
It is the
responsibility of all customers and others who have access to the Cannon
Valley service networks to:
-
use Cannon Valley services and facilities in a manner which does not violate
any applicable laws or regulations;
-
respect
the privacy of other users, and not intentionally seek information on, obtain
copies of, or modify files, other data, or passwords belonging to other users
without permission;
-
respect
the legal protection provided by copyright, trademark, licenses, and other
laws to programs, data and documents;
-
minimize
unauthenticated or anonymous access accounts and the transmission or
distribution of messages or articles from those accounts;
-
use
Cannon Valley services and facilities in a manner that does not interfere with
or disrupt other network users, services, or equipment. Such interference or
disruption includes, but is not limited to: wide-scale distribution of messages to
inappropriate mailing lists, news groups, or other public or private
forums, propagation of computer worms or viruses, and use of the network to make unauthorized entry
to other computational, information, or communications devices or
resources. This includes unauthorized security probing activities or other
attempts to evaluate the security integrity of a network or host system
without permission.
Enforcement
and Violations
Each Cannon Valley
customer, partner, or other affiliate shall be responsible for distributing,
publicizing, and enforcing the Cannon Valley Acceptable Use Policy at their
sites or among their own customers, partners, or other affiliates who may be
hosted on their networks or connected to their networks via connections not
directly supported by Cannon Valley. This enforcement responsibility applies
for all traffic that the connected party exchanges with or distributes through
the Cannon Valley service networks.
Even though Cannon
Valley does not review, sensor, or edit the materials and information which
are accessible on the Cannon Valley service networks or other networks which
may be connected to the Cannon Valley service networks, if Cannon Valley
becomes aware that a Cannon Valley customer, partner or other affiliate is in
violation of the law or this Acceptable Use Policy, Cannon Valley reserves the
right to impose disciplinary action up to and including termination of Cannon
Valley services and forfeiture of all fees paid to date. Evidence of illegal
or prohibited activities may be disclosed to law enforcement authorities.
Modifications to this policy
Cannon Valley reserves the right to modify this
policy at any time. Customers will receive prompt notification of all
modifications.
