1. MEMBER CONDUCT

The Service is designed to promote the free-flowing exchange of ideas about a particular discussion list topic.

The opinions and views expressed by members of a mailing list do not reflect those of internet.com. The contents of messages are based on data submitted by individual users, and internet.com may not review, screen or edit messages posted in any discussion list. internet.com reserves the right to terminate your use of the Service, or to remove any message or mailing list from the Service at any time, without notice, in internet.com's sole discretion. internet.com encourages you to bring violations of the Terms of Use to internet.com's attention, although we do not guarantee any action based on such information.

You agree to abide by all applicable local, state, national and international laws and regulations when using the Service, and that you are solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur on any e-mails that you send to any of the internet.com mailing lists.

By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that internet.com may remove content or messages, or terminate your account or any list created by you, if internet.com believes, in its sole discretion, that you are engaged in any of the following activities:

i. Using the service for illegal purposes or for posting material that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortuous, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, or otherwise objectionable, including but not limited to material that contains blatant expressions of bigotry, prejudice, racism, hatred, or profanity, or that promotes or provides instructional information about illegal activities or promotes physical harm or injury against any group or individual;

ii. Violating the rights of third parties, including but not limited to rights of publicity, copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property rights;

iii. Interfering with or disrupting the Service -- or servers, computer systems, or networks connected to the Service -- or interfering with another user's use and enjoyment of the Service, including but not limited to (a) transmitting any material that contains viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or any other harmful or deleterious programs, or (b) attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other's accounts on the Service, or private mailing lists on the Service through password mining or any other means;

iv. Harvesting or otherwise collecting information about others, including e-mail addresses, without their consent;

v. Discussing in any way prices, fees, or wages for your services;

vi. Providing false information on your registration form, or attempting to mislead others as to the identity of the sender or the origin of a message; or,

vii. Distributing content that consists of hyperlinks to sites that contain content not allowed on the Service.

2. TERMINATION

Any misuse of the Service, as determined solely by internet.com, will cause termination and your removal from any or all discussion lists.

internet.com reserves the right to delete all data or postings made by you in any list with or without cause at any time and effective immediately, without prior notice.

3. NO SPAM

internet.com will immediately terminate any list member that it believes, in its sole discretion, is using the list for transmitting any junk mail, spam, chain letters, or other unsolicited bulk e-mail, commercial or otherwise.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless internet.com, its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and employees from any loss, liability, claim, demand, damage, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) asserted by any third party due to or arising from or in connection with your use of or conduct on the Service. internet.com reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, which shall not excuse your indemnity obligations.

5. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS OF USE OR TO THE SERVICE

internet.com reserves the right to change the Terms of Use at any time without notice. internet.com also reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to you.

You also grant internet.com the right to authorize the downloading and printing in whole or in part of any material that you have posted to a group on the Service, by endusers for their personal use.
