G. Use of the Service and Site
Illegal Use
The Services may only be used for lawful purposes. The transmission, distribution, retrieval or storage of any data or other material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, without limitation, data or other material which:
• Infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent or other intellectual property right.
• Constitutes an illegal threat made against any person or organization.
• Violates export control laws or regulations.
• Is obscene, pornographic, indecent, or defamatory.
• Constitutes an attempt to defraud others.
Forgery
Neither the Site nor the Service may not be used in a manner which purposely alters or forges any users identity. Users may not engage, without limitation, in the following activities:
• Sending any message or transmitting any electronic communication using a name or address other than user’s own for purposes of deception.
• Impersonating someone else by altering user’s source IP address or by using forged headers or other identity information.
• Fraudulently concealing, forging or otherwise falsifying user’s identity in connection with any use of the web site(s) or services.
Security
Neither the Site nor the Services may not be used to violate system or network security; such behavior may result in criminal or civil liability. No user may engage, without limitation, in the following activities:
• Gaining unauthorized access to, or attempting to compromise the normal functioning, operation or security of any network, system, computing facility, equipment, data or information.
• Engaging in any activities that may interfere with the ability of others to access or use the Site, the Services or the Internet (i.e., Denial of Service attacks).
• Monitoring any data, information or communications on any network or system not owned by user without authorization.
• Gaining unauthorized access to the user accounts or passwords of other users of any system.
• Attempting to intercept, redirect or otherwise interfere with communications intended for others.
• Intentionally transmitting files or messages containing computer viruses or propagating worms, Trojan horses, or "spyware" programs.
Neither the Site nor the Services may be used to distribute electronic mail in an improper or illegal manner. Users may not engage, without limitation, in the following activities:
• Transmitting unsolicited mass or commercial e-mail (i.e., spamming) for any purpose.
• Enlisting a third party to transmit unsolicited mass or commercial e-mail on the user’s behalf.
• Collecting responses from unsolicited mass or commercial e-mail, or advertising any website or the user’s identity in such e-mail.
• Transmitting a large amount of e-mail to a recipient with the intent to disable their system (i.e., mailbombing).
• Using another party's electronic mail server to relay e-mail without express permission.
• Any e-mail message containing informational or commercial content is considered unsolicited unless it is sent to a recipient who expressly requested receipt of such e-mail via an "opt-in" process. It is each user’s responsibility to prove that the recipient explicitly requested inclusion on an e-mail list by direct action, preferably with evidence of confirmation by the recipient (i.e. "double opt-in"). In the absence of positive, verifiable proof to the contrary, we will consider a complaint by an e-mail recipient to be de-facto proof that the recipient did not request the e-mail about which a complaint was generated.
H. Hosting
ShareZen will utilize a third party to provide hosting for the Service. Currently, we utilize Amazon.com, Inc’s Elastic Cloud Computing service (“EC2â€) and may change its provider from time to time (EC2 or any such other provider referred to as a “Hosting Providerâ€). All access to the Services will be subject to the terms and conditions required by the Hosting Provider (“Hosting Provider Termsâ€). All Hosting Provider Terms (including those for EC2 which are found at http://aws.amazon.com/agreement) are incorporated herein by reference.
