The customer hereby agrees to observe and be bound by the following terms of service in relation to the provision of the products and services provided by the i010.com:
Remark: please note that different services (depending on the type of services subscribed by customers) have their own terms and conditions stated in the relevant contract which will usually prevail over the above
As regards to access to i010.com (International) Limited's network ("Services"), i010.com (International) Limited ("i010.com") offers its customers (also known as "subscribers"), and their customers and users, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. i010.com respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, i010.com reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, i010.com has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing i010.com's Services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of i010.com's Services after changes to the AUP are posted on i010.com's website www.i010.com, will constitute the customer'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 i010.com cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some materials posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because i010.com cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, i010.com cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.
When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that i010.com does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its 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 i010.com's network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non subscribers of i010.com, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may harm i010.com's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate i010.com's policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:
Spamming --Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming"). It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward i010.com, but also because it can overload i010.com's network and disrupt service to i010.com's subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, i010.com has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list.

As i010.com has pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. i010.com will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that they comply with i010.com's policy or applicable laws. When i010.com becomes aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a website, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.
i010.com also is aware that many of its subscribers are, themselves, providers of Internet services, and that information reaching i010.com's facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third-party. i010.com does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or websites created by customers of its subscribers. i010.com has the right to directly take action against a customer of a subscriber. Also, i010.com may take action against the i010.com's subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, i010.com anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with i010.com in any corrective or preventive action that i010.com deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of i010.com's policy.
i010.com also is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and websites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, i010.com urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. i010.com cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over i010.com's facilities.
i010.com will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its subscribers unless required to do so by laws, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. i010.com may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, i010.com may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using the network, or a website, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or governmental request. i010.com assumes no obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice.
Finally, i010.com may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect i010.com and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.
i010.com expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of on-line communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate i010.com's policy. Finally, i010.com wishes to emphasize that in signing the service agreement, subscribers indemnify i010.com for any violation of the service agreement, laws, or i010.com's policy, that results in loss to i010.com or the bringing of any claim against i010.com by any third-party. This means that if i010.com is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will pay any damages awarded against i010.com, plus costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
