Use of Material

The Customer is expected to use its site and access to the Internet properly and responsibly. Due to the special system controls, requirements and procedures associated with adult oriented sites, Apptix prohibits websites that contain what is commonly acknowledged as adult graphic content, or pornographic materials, to include child pornography, links or distribution of passwords to adult websites, banners advertising adult websites, and sex-related merchandise. Customers in violation of this policy may be terminated without notice.

It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to ensure that any and all information appearing on, or disseminated by, their website are either materials found within the public domain (having lost or never had copyright protection) or works of Customer's own creation. Copyrighted materials include works of art, photographic images, video, music, computer software and any other works fixed in a tangible medium, and may not be used for commercial or non-personal use in any way whatsoever, without the authority of the owner of copyright. Customer assumes all risks in determining whether any information is or is not material to be found in the public domain. Upon receipt of a proper notice that Customer's materials are a copyright infringement, Apptix will require that the offending materials be removed immediately, or access will be blocked to that portion of Customer's content that infringes another's copyright. Repeated violations of copyright laws may result in the termination of Services.

In the course of providing turnkey private label solutions to its Customers, Apptix will acquire, store and transmit Customer information that may be regarded as private or confidential. Any Customer information that Apptix may collect, to include, without limitation, Customer's name, address, telephone numbers, information on corporate officers or personnel, credit card information and numbers, status of accounts, the choice of Hosting Services, account logs, is done only for the purposes of initiating an account, billing, customer service and management of those services, or to fashion offers of additional services. Apptix will not share or disclose Customer information with any other company, individual, organization or agency, without the prior written consent of the Customer in question, except as may be required by law. Apptix will, however, cooperate with law enforcement agencies, but only to the extent required under law, in claims or investigations of illegal activities. Any personal information that Customer places on its website is done at its own risk, and is therefore excluded from the above considerations. Apptix shall not knowingly collect information on individuals under the age of eighteen years.

The Internet community does not appreciate unsolicited e-mail from any source. This is the electronic equivalent of "junk mail," and is also referred to as SPAM. Spamming is the sending of unsolicited e-mail to people or entities unknown to the sender. If you do not know the recipient, or do not have the prior consent of recipient to send the message, then you are spamming. Spamming also includes sending unsolicited advertising or commercial messages in bulk, which can quickly disrupt the services of a Host. For this reason, spamming is strictly prohibited, as is the provision of any software that facilitates or enables SPAM. Other related and equally prohibited activities include: Mail-bombing, the sending of multiple messages to the same e-mail address with the same basic contents; Trolling, posting messages designed to elicit numerous responses; unauthorized subscription of another's name to mailing lists of any kind; storing, using or distributing tools that collect e-mail addresses for the purposes of bulk mailing, or that contain viruses, worms, Trojan Horses, and other means that otherwise compromise the integrity and security of another's equipment, system, or service.
