I. Introduction

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") has been created by EvidentHost and all of the entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with EvidentHost to promote the integrity, security, reliability and protection of EvidentHost's network, facilities, offerings, and customers.

• EvidentHost may modify, without prior notice, this AUP as EvidentHost deems appropriate and such modified AUP will be effective upon posting on EvidentHost's web-site.
• Throughout the term of its Agreement with EvidentHost, Customer must ensure that the use of any service, product, or resource offered, owned, or controlled by EvidentHost to Customer ("Service") conforms to EvidentHost's then-current AUP. Customer will be held responsible for its use, its systems, the users of its systems and offerings, and, in the case of resellers, any third-party use.

II. Prohibited Uses

The Internet is a global interconnection of multiple networks that physically exist in multiple countries with diverse laws, regulations, and orders ("Laws"). For the purposes of this AUP, terms like "unlawful" or "illegal" apply to Laws globally and within the framework of applicable governing bodies. It is Customer's responsibility to be aware of the Laws that apply to the use of the Service and to ensure compliance with such Laws.

• The Service shall not be used to post, transmit, re-transmit or store material which, in the judgment of EvidentHost:

  • Violates local, state, federal, foreign, or international Law

  General:

  • Deceptive or fraudulent practices.
  • Any activity infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, including, but not limited to, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, patents.

We will send you an alert for the first complaint, and cancel your account for the second complaint.

EvidentHost will use commercial reasonable efforts to ensure that such testing (1) will be non-intrusive in nature, and (2) will not adversely affect Service provided to Customer or compromise the security of Customer's network.
