Important Note: This
document is updated often. Please make a habit of
reviewing it from time to time to stay abreast of
acceptable as well as inappropriate uses of your
Amiko Design Internet Services account. Reports of
activity in violation of this policy may be sent
via e-mail to amikodesign@yahoo.com |

This document is divided
into the following sections: |

Introduction |
|
When you open your Amiko
account, you join two communities. First is the
community formed by our network and our
customers; the second community is the one made
up of all networks and users connected to each
other to form the Internet. Becoming a member of
these communities gives you certain rights and
privileges, but also imposes certain duties and
responsibilities. Amiko has established an
Acceptable Use Policy in order to make these
duties and responsibilities more clear. This
document is intended to provide a general
understanding of Amiko's Acceptable Use Policy.
The following factors guide the establishment
and enforcement of Amiko's usage policies: |
|
- Ensure reliable service to our customers
- Ensure security and privacy of our systems
and network, as well as the networks and systems
of others
- Comply with existing laws
- Maintain our reputation as a responsible
service provider
- Encourage responsible use of the Internet
and discourage activities which reduce the
usability and value of Internet services
- Preserve the value of Internet resources as
a conduit for free expression and exchange of
information
- Preserve the privacy and security of
individual users
|
|
Amiko intends to provide
its customers access to everything the Internet
has to offer. While Amiko is firmly committed to
the principles of free speech, certain
activities are damaging to the resources of both
Amiko and the Internet and cannot be permitted
under the guise of free speech. The resources of
Amiko and the Internet are limited, and abuse of
these resources by one user has a negative
impact on the entire community. |
|
We do not routinely
monitor the activity of accounts except for
measurements of system utilization and the
preparation of billing records. However, in our
efforts to promote good citizenship within the
Internet community, we will respond
appropriately if we become aware of
inappropriate use of our service. |
|
If a Amiko account is used to violate the
Acceptable Use Policy, we reserve the right to
terminate your service without notice and you
agree to indemnify Amiko and its affiliates
against any claims threatened or brought by
third parties as a result of your violation of
this Acceptable Use Policy and/or the content of
your website. We prefer to advise customers of
inappropriate behavior and any necessary
corrective action. However, flagrant violations
of the Acceptable Use Policy will result in
immediate termination of service. Our failure to
enforce this policy, for whatever reason, shall
not be construed as a waiver of our right to do
so at any time. |

policy, please contact us at amikodesign@yahoo.com |
