EMAIL

Introduction
Exchanging emails with others generally involves using common sense regarding the content material and being polite and courteous. The vast majority of Freedom255's customers understand what is appropriate when sending or receiving emails. Regrettably, there are occasions when individuals or groups of people exchange emails or involve in online activities, which are considered to be unacceptable by the Internet community. This is described by the generic term of "abuse".

Our email AUP is based on current "best Internet industry practice" and draws on the collective experience of email users and service providers across the Internet community.

Abusive emails
It is not always obvious whether an activity is innocent, inadvertent, or intentional but as a general rule, email users should be aware that what is unacceptable (and possibly illegal) offline (oral or written), applies equally online. As with telephone calls, you must not send any emails which cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety. You should not send false messages likely to cause distress (e.g. advising the recipient that a relative has been in an accident when they have not), or any other material which is distressing, grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, menacing or in any other way unlawful. Particular care should be taken to avoid any material which is offensive to people on grounds of gender, race, colour, religion or other similar categorisation. Always be sensitive to the fact that children might have access.

Spam (Unsolicited Bulk emails)
You must not use Freedom255's email system to send unsolicited emails, bulk or otherwise. The sending of such emails is an abuse of the service and you will be in breach of the relevant terms and conditions.

What Action Will Freedom255 Take?
Compliance with this Acceptable Use Policy is a contractual requirement. If you fail to do so, your service may be suspended or terminated.
Customers who engage in abusive behaviour will be notified that their behaviour is unacceptable and may have their accounts suspended or terminated if such behaviour continues.

If we find out that you are using our service for illegal purposes, we may involve Freedom255’s E-crimes and Investigations team and we may ultimately notify the police. If we receive a Court Order requesting us to reveal your identity to someone complaining that you have used this service in an abusive manner we will do so.

Account Restoration
A suspended account may be restored at Freddom255's discretion, upon receipt of a written undertaking by the abuser not to commit any future "abuse". All cases are, however, considered by Freedom255 on their individual merits. Our decision in all cases shall be final.

WEBSPACE

Introduction
The following contains rules governing the use by customers of Freedom255 webspace services.

It is based on current "best Internet industry practice" and draws on the collective experience of webspace users, service providers and the owners and administrators of computer networks which are connected to form the world wide web.

Freedom255 cannot and does not proactively monitor content on its customers websites and therefore cannot and does not guarantee that all such websites are free of illegal material or other content considered unacceptable (abusive) by the Internet community.

Illegal Activities
You must not have illegal material on your website or link to content that is illegal. You should be aware that as the Internet is a global network, some activities/material which may be legal in the UK may be illegal elsewhere in the world and vice versa, and you could risk being prosecuted in another country if you publish what is illegal in that country. If you are in doubt, don't do it and take independent legal advice before proceeding.

You must not incite disorder or publish any material which would amount to instructions concerning illegal activities.

You must not publish content, or link to content in which you do not own the rights, without the permission of the owner of the relevant rights.

Unacceptable Behaviour
It is not always obvious whether an activity is innocent, inadvertent, or intentional, but generally web space users should be aware that what is unacceptable (and possibly illegal) offline (oral or written), applies equally online.

Avoid content that may offend. If you have any doubt about the suitability of your content to others, in particular to children, you must give a warning page before reaching the content. If in doubt, don't do it and take independent legal advice before proceeding. In particular, you must not use expressions that are offensive to others on grounds of gender, race colour, religion or other similar categories. Freedom255 will not make any logs or details of who visited your site available.

You must ensure that your index.htm file (the first to be viewed on a site) does not contain any material liable to offend. A clearly readable warning page must be displayed before any adult material is displayed.

You must not use your web space to cause annoyance, inconvenience, offence or needless anxiety.

You must not publicise the personal details of others without their consent.

You must not use your web site to advertise, distribute (or link to another web page containing) virus creation software, e-mail spamming software, port scanning software or hacking tool (warez).

Your homepages site may not be used to distribute or advertise any of the following:

1. Software for sending SPAM (excessive news postings, bulk emails etc.).
2. Software for port scanning, virus creation, hacking or any other illegal or antisocial activity.
3. Lists of email addresses except where all the addressees have given their explicit permission.
4. Any collection of personal data other than in accordance with all applicable data protection legislation and regulation.
5. Links to websites hosting illegal content, including adult material
6. Content designed to offend or cause needless anxiety to others.

You must not advertise your Homepages (web sites), or cause another person to advertise them, by techniques that would be classified as abuse, e.g. bulk emailing and excessive news posting.

Security
You must not share the password for your web space. Your passwords are your responsibility, and must not be disclosed to any third party. This is also important for your own protection.

What Action Will FREEDOM255 Take?
Compliance with this Acceptable Use Policy is a contractual requirement. If you fail to do so, your service may be suspended or terminated.

Offending material may be removed without prior notice/explanation. Customers who engage in abusive behaviour will be notified that their behaviour is unacceptable and may have their accounts suspended or terminated.

If we find out that you are using our web space service for illegal purposes, we may involve Freedom255’s E-crimes and Investigations team and we may ultimately notify the police. If we receive a Court Order requesting us to reveal your identity to someone complaining that you have used this service abusively, we will do so.

Account Restoration
A suspended account may be restored, at Freedom255's discretion, upon receipt of a written undertaking by the abuser not to commit any future "abuse". However, Freedom255 will consider all cases on their individual merits. Our decision in all cases shall be final.
