This is SlashTime's Usage Policy,
which supplements the service agreement of each user of SlashTime's
services (each, a "Subscriber"). Every Subscriber is subject
to this Usage Policy, and by virtue of using SlashTime's services,
network and/or systems (collectively the "Services") agrees to
be bound by this Usage Policy. SlashTime will revise this Usage Policy
from time to time. A Subscriber's use of the Services after revisions to
the Usage Policy are posted on SlashTime's website at http://www.slashtime.com,
will constitute such person's acceptance of any changes or additions to
the Usage Policy.
Subscribers violate this Usage Policy when they (or their affiliates or
customers) engage in the following prohibited activities.
Violations of Intellectual Property Rights
Any violation of any person's intellectual property rights, rights of
privacy, rights of publicity or other personal rights is prohibited.
SlashTime is required by law to remove or block access to content
appearing on or through the Services upon receipt of proper notice of
copyright infringement (see "Copyright Infringement Notice
Information" below).
Spamming
SlashTime has zero tolerance for UBE/UCE (unsolicited bulk
email/unsolicited commercial email). This policy protects our customers
as well as the Internet community from the negative effects of "spam"
related activity. SlashTime defines UBE/UCE as unsolicited broadcast or
commercial email that is sent to addresses that do not affirmatively and
verifiably request such material from that specific sender.
1. SlashTime customers, or any user of bandwidth and/or services on our
network (herein described as 'users') are prohibited from sending UBE/UCE.
Users may be asked to produce records that verify that explicit
affirmative permission was obtained from a recipient before a mailing
was sent. SlashTime may consider the lack of such proof of explicit
affirmative permission of a questionable UBE/UCE at its sole discretion.
2. SlashTime customers are prohibited from maintaining open mail relays
on their servers. Ignorance of the presence or operation of an open mail
relay is not and will not be considered an acceptable excuse for its
(the open mail relay) operation. Multiple infractions of this policy
will result in a discontinuation of service.
3. SlashTime customers will be notified in the event that their sites
are in violation of the above policy. Again, failure to rectify such
situations may be cause for termination of service.
4. SlashTime customers are prohibited from providing hosting services
for websites that have been included in UBE/UCE. Hosting includes, but
is not limited to, hosting website(s), providing DNS services as well as
website redirect services.
5. Valid complaints received by SlashTime will be forwarded to the
customer for a response and resolution. If within twenty-four (24) hours
there is no response, SlashTime may block traffic to and from the IP
address involved in the UBE/UCE complaint until the problem is resolved
and preventative measures have been implemented to prevent the violation
from recurring. All users are responsible for maintaining a working
email contact and updating that information with SlashTime when it
changes.
6. If SlashTime receives repeat complaints indicating that a problem has
not been resolved, SlashTime reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel
any and all services provided to the user after a notification of no
less than two (2) hours.

Export Control Violations
The exportation of encryption software outside of the United States
and/or violations of United States law relating to the exportation of
software is prohibited.
Misrepresentation of Transmission Information
Forging, misrepresenting, omitting or deleting message headers, return
mailing information and/or Internet protocol addresses to conceal or
misidentify the origin of a message is prohibited.
Viruses and Other Destructive Activities
Use of the Services for creating or sending Internet viruses, worms or
Trojan horses, or for pinging, flooding or mailbombing, or engaging in
denial of service attacks is prohibited. It is also prohibited for any
Subscriber to engage in other activity that is intended to disrupt or
interfere with, or that results in the disruption of or interference
with, the ability of others to effectively use the Services (or any
connected network, system, service or equipment) or conduct their
business over the Internet.
Child Pornography
The use of the Services to store, post, display, transmit, advertise or
otherwise make available child pornography is prohibited. SlashTime is
required by law, and will, notify law enforcement agencies when it
becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on, or being
transmitted through, the Services.
Hacking
"Hacking" and related activities is prohibited.
"Hacking" includes, but is not limited to, the following
activities: illegally or without authorization accessing computers,
accounts or networks, penetrating or attempting to penetrate security
measures, port scans, stealth scans and other activities designed to
assist in hacking.
Other Illegal Activities
The use of the Services to engage in any activities that are determined
by SlashTime, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be illegal is
prohibited. Such illegal activities include, but are not limited to,
storing, posting, displaying, transmitting or otherwise making available
ponzi or pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards or
displaying credit card information of third parties without their
consent, and failure to comply with applicable online privacy laws.
SlashTime will cooperate fully with appropriate law enforcement agencies
in connection with any and all illegal activities occurring on or
through the Services.
Obscene, Defamatory, Abusive or Threatening Language
Use of the Services to store, post, transmit, display or otherwise make
available obscene, defamatory, harassing, abusive or threatening
language is prohibited.
Other Activities
Engaging in any activity that, in SlashTime's sole and absolute
discretion, disrupts, interferes with or is harmful to (or threatens to
disrupt, interfere with or be harmful to) the Services, SlashTime's
business, operations, reputation, goodwill, customers and/or customer
relations, or the ability of SlashTime's customers to effectively use
the Services is prohibited. Such prohibited activities include making
available any program, product or service that is designed to or could
be used to violate this Usage Policy. In addition, the failure by a
Subscriber to cooperate with SlashTime in correcting or preventing
violations of this Usage Policy by, or that result from the activity of,
a customer of the Subscriber is a violation of this Usage Policy.
In general, SlashTime does not monitor its customers' websites or
activities to determine whether they are in compliance with this Usage
Policy. However, when SlashTime becomes aware of any violation of this
Usage Policy or its User Agreement, SlashTime may take any action to
stop or correct such violation, including, but not limited to, shutting
down a website, denying access to the Services or to the Internet,
and/or removing information. In addition, SlashTime may take action
against a Subscriber or a customer of such Subscriber because of the
activities of such customer. SlashTime reserves the right to take any
such action even though such action may affect other customers of the
Subscriber.
SlashTime may disclose any information in its possession, including,
without limitation, information about Subscribers, internet
transmissions and website activity in order to comply with a court
order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute,
regulation or governmental request, to protect SlashTime or others from
harm, and/or to ensure the proper operation of the Services. SlashTime
has no obligation to notify any person, including the Subscriber about
whom information is sought, that SlashTime has provided the information.
