Adult Content

Pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited on Claudio Damicelli’s servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content or provide links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites.

Child Pornography

The use of Claudio Damicelli’s services to store, post, display, transmit, advertise or otherwise make available child pornography is prohibited. Claudio Damicelli 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, its services.

Privacy

Claudio Damicelli is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and Web sites. 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, Claudio Damicelli urges its customers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. Claudio Damicelli cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over Claudio Damicelli’s facilities.

Customer Responsibility

Customers are required to use the Claudio Damicelli network responsibly. This includes respecting the other customers of Claudio Damicelli. Claudio Damicelli reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel service with any customer who uses the Claudio Damicelli network in such a way that adversely affects other Claudio Damicelli customers. While Claudio Damicelli may monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily, as a general practice, Claudio Damicelli does not monitor its customers’ communications or activities to determine whether they are in compliance with the TOU. However, when Claudio Damicelli becomes aware of any violation of the TOU or other user agreements, Claudio Damicelli may take any action to stop or correct such violation, including, but not limited to, denying access to Network Redux’s services and equipment or to the Internet. In addition, Claudio Damicelli may take action against a customer or a customer of such customer because of the activities of such customer. Claudio Damicelli anticipates that customers who offer Internet services will cooperate with Claudio Damicelli in any corrective or preventive action that Claudio Damicelli deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Claudio Damicelli policy and Claudio Damicelli reserves the right to take any such action even though such action may affect other customers of the Claudio Damicelli customer.

Actions Taken by Claudio Damicelli

The failure by a customer to meet or follow any of the TOU is grounds for account deactivation. Claudio Damicelli will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the TOU. Claudio Damicelli reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice and to refuse service to anyone at any time. When Claudio Damicelli becomes aware of an alleged violation of its TOU, Claudio Damicelli will initiate an investigation. During the investigation, Claudio Damicelli may restrict a customer’s access in order to prevent further potentially unauthorized activity. Depending on the severity of the violation, Claudio Damicelli may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate a customer’s Web hosting account and/or pursue other civil remedies. If such violation is a criminal offense, Claudio Damicelli will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the TOU if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. Network Redux does not issue credits for outages incurred through service disablement resulting from TOU violations. Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by Claudio Damicelli.
