It is Clark Electric Appliance & Satellite's
intent to provide our customers with the best
satellite Internet service possible. In order
to accomplish this task, we have adopted this
Acceptable Use Policy (the "AUP" or
"Policy"). This Policy outlines acceptable
use of the WildBlue High-Speed Internet access
service (the "Service"), as well as
permissible and prohibited conduct for using the
Service to access the Internet. This Policy, including
its customer use restrictions, is in addition
to the restrictions contained in the WildBlue
High-Speed Internet Customer Agreement (the "Customer
Agreement"). All capitalized terms used in
this AUP that are not defined here have the meanings
given to them in the Customer Agreement.
It
is the responsibility of all WildBlue High-Speed
Internet customers and all others who have access
to WildBlue's network ("customer," "you,"
or "your"), to comply with this AUP
and all WildBlue and/or Clark Electric Appliance
& Satellite policies. As a Service customer,
it is your responsibility to secure your computer
equipment so that it is not subject to external
threats such as viruses, spam, and other methods
of intrusion. Failure to comply with these or
any other WildBlue and/or Clark Electric Appliance
& Satellite policies could result in the suspension
or termination of your Service. If you do not
agree to comply with all of these policies including
the AUP, you must immediately stop use of the
Service and notify Clark Electric Appliance &
Satellite so that your account may be closed.
Note:
Clark Electric Appliance & Satellite Inc.
and/or WildBlue reserves the right to immediately
terminate the Service and the Customer Agreement
if you engage in any of the prohibited activities
listed in this AUP or if you use the WildBlue
Equipment or Service in a way which is contrary
to any WildBlue and/or Clark Electric Appliance
& Satellite policies or any of WildBlue's
suppliers' policies. You must strictly adhere
to any policy set forth by another service provider
accessed through the Service.

Security
You are responsible for any misuse of the Service,
even if the misuse was committed by a friend,
family member, or guest with access to your Service
account. Therefore, you must take steps to ensure
that others do not use your account to gain unauthorized
access to the Service by, for example, strictly
maintaining the confidentiality of your Service
login and password. In all cases, you are solely
responsible for the security of any device you
choose to connect to the Service, including any
data stored or shared on that device. Account
functions such as verifying and maintaining the
account, options and settings, must be performed
by a person at least 18 years of age, without
exception. WildBlue recommends against enabling
file or printer sharing of any sort unless you
do so in strict compliance with all security recommendations
and features provided by WildBlue and the manufacturer
of the applicable file or printer sharing devices.
Any files or devices you choose to make available
for shared access on a home LAN, for example,
should be protected with a strong password or
as otherwise appropriate.
Inappropriate
Content and Transmissions
WildBlue reserves the right, but not the obligation,
to refuse to transmit or post and to remove or
block any information or materials, in whole or
in part, that it, in its sole discretion, deems
to be offensive, indecent, or otherwise inappropriate,
regardless of whether this material or its dissemination
is unlawful. Neither WildBlue nor any of its affiliates,
suppliers, or agents have any obligation to monitor
transmissions or postings (including, but not
limited to, e-mail, newsgroup, and instant message
transmissions as well as materials available on
the Personal Web Pages and Online Storage features)
made on the Service. However, WildBlue and its
affiliates, suppliers, and agents have the right
to monitor these transmissions and postings from
time to time for violations of this Policy and
to disclose, block, or remove them in accordance
with the Subscriber Agreement and any other applicable
agreements and policies.
Electronic
Mail
The Service may not be used to send unsolicited
bulk or commercial messages and may not be used
to collect responses from unsolicited e-mail sent
from accounts on other Internet hosts or e-mail
services that violate this Policy or the acceptable
use policy of any other Internet service provider.
Moreover, unsolicited e-mail may not direct the
recipient to any Web site or other resource that
uses the Service. Activities that have the effect
of facilitating unsolicited commercial e-mail
or unsolicited bulk e-mail, whether or not the
e-mail is commercial in nature, are prohibited.
Forging, altering, or removing electronic mail
headers is prohibited. You may not reference WildBlue
or the WildBlue network or Clark Electric Appliance
& Satellite Inc. (e.g. by including "Organization:
WildBlue" in the header or by listing an
IP address that belongs to WildBlue or the WildBlue
network) in any unsolicited e-mail even if that
e-mail is not sent through the WildBlue network
or Service.
WildBlue
is not responsible for forwarding e-mail sent
to any account that has been suspended or terminated.
This e-mail will be returned to the sender, ignored,
deleted, or stored temporarily at WildBlue's sole
discretion. In the event that WildBlue believes
in its sole discretion that any subscriber name,
account name, or e-mail address (collectively,
an "identifier") on the Service may
be used for, or is being used for, any misleading,
fraudulent, or other improper or illegal purpose,
WildBlue (i) reserves the right to block access
to and prevent the use of any such identifier
and (ii) may at any time require any customer
to change his or her identifier. In addition,
WildBlue may at any time reserve any identifiers
on the Service for WildBlue's own purposes.
Newsgroups
Messages posted to newsgroups must comply with
the written charters or FAQs for those newsgroups
as well as any other terms and conditions applicable
to any particular newsgroups or provider of newsgroups.
Advertisements, solicitations, or other commercial
messages should be posted only in those newsgroups
whose charters or FAQs explicitly permit them.
You are responsible for determining the policies
of a given newsgroup before posting to it. WildBlue
reserves the right to discontinue access to any
newsgroup at any time for any reason. WildBlue
permits users of the Service to download a maximum
of one gigabyte (1GB) of newsgroup content in
any one month, unless users are subject to a Service
plan that permits downloading more newsgroup content.
Instant
Messages
Users alone are responsible for the contents of
their instant messages and the consequences of
any instant messages. WildBlue assumes no responsibility
for the timeliness, mis-delivery, deletion or
failure to store instant messages.
Personal
Web Page and File Storage
As part of the Service, WildBlue provides you
with access to personal Web pages and storage
space through the Personal Web Pages and Online
Storage features (collectively, the "Personal
Web Features"). You are solely responsible
for any information that you or others publish
or store on the Personal Web Features. You must
ensure that the intended recipient of any content
made available through the Personal Web Features
is appropriate. For example, you must take appropriate
precautions to prevent minors from receiving or
accessing inappropriate content. WildBlue reserves
the right to remove, block, or refuse to post
or store any information or materials, in whole
or in part, that it, in its sole discretion, deem
to be offensive, indecent, or otherwise inappropriate
regardless of whether this material or its dissemination
is unlawful. This includes, but is not limited
to: obscene material; defamatory, fraudulent or
deceptive statements; threatening, intimidating
or harassing statements, or material that violates
the privacy rights or property rights of others
(copyrights or trademarks, for example). For purposes
of this Policy, "material" refers to
all forms of communications including narrative
descriptions, graphics (including photographs,
illustrations, images, drawings, logos), executable
programs and scripts, video recordings, and audio
recordings. WildBlue may remove or block content
contained on your Personal Web Features and terminate
your Personal Web Features and/or your use of
the Service if we determine that you have violated
the terms of this Policy.
Network,
Bandwidth, Data Storage and Other Limitations
You must comply with all current bandwidth, data
storage, and other limitations on the Service
established by WildBlue and its suppliers. In
addition, you may only access and use the Service
with a dynamic Internet Protocol ("IP")
address that adheres to the dynamic host configuration
protocol ("DHCP"). You may not access
or use the Service with a static IP address or
using any protocol other than DHCP unless you
are subject to a Service plan that expressly permits
otherwise.
You
must ensure that your activity (including, but
not limited to, use made by you or others of any
Personal Web Features) does not improperly restrict,
inhibit, or degrade any other user's use of the
Service, nor represent (in the sole judgment of
WildBlue) an unusually large burden on the network.
In addition, you must ensure that your activities
do not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt,
degrade or impede WildBlue's ability to deliver
the Service and monitor the Service, backbone,
network nodes, and/or other network Services.
Copyright
Infringement
WildBlue is committed to complying with U.S. copyright
and related laws, and requires all customers and
users of the Service to comply with these laws.
Accordingly, you may not store any material or
content on, or disseminate any material or content
over, the Service (or any part of the Service)
in any manner that constitutes an infringement
of third party intellectual property rights, including
rights granted by U.S. copyright law. Owners of
copyrighted works who believe that their rights
under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may
take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA")
to report alleged infringements. It is WildBlue's
policy in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable
laws to reserve the right to terminate the Service
provided to any customer or user who is either
found to infringe third party copyright or other
intellectual property rights, including repeat
infringers, or who WildBlue believes in its sole
discretion is infringing these rights. WildBlue
may terminate the Service at any time with or
without notice for any affected customer or user.
Copyright
owners may report alleged infringements of their
works that are stored on the Service or the Personal
Web Features by sending WildBlue's authorized
agent a notification of claimed infringement that
satisfies the requirements of the DMCA. Upon WildBlue's
receipt of a satisfactory notice of claimed infringement
for these works, WildBlue will respond expeditiously
to either directly or indirectly (i) remove the
allegedly infringing work(s) stored on the Service
or the Personal Web Features or (ii) disable access
to the work(s). WildBlue will also notify the
affected customer or user of the Service of the
removal or disabling of access to the work(s).
If the affected customer or user believes in good
faith that the allegedly infringing works have
been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification,
then that person may send a counter notification
to WildBlue. Upon WildBlue's receipt of a counter
notification that satisfies the requirements of
DMCA, WildBlue will provide a copy of the counter
notification to the person who sent the original
notification of claimed infringement and will
follow the DMCA's procedures with respect to a
received counter notification. In all events,
you expressly agree that WildBlue will not be
a party to any disputes or lawsuits regarding
alleged copyright infringement.
Copyright
owners may send WildBlue a notification of claimed
infringement to report alleged infringements of
their works to:

WildBlue
does not routinely monitor the activity of Service
accounts for violation of this AUP. 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. Although WildBlue has no obligation to
monitor the Service and/or the network, WildBlue
and its suppliers reserve the right at any time
to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions, and
content from time to time to operate the Service;
to identify violations of this Policy; and/or
to protect the network, the Service and WildBlue
users.
WildBlue
prefers to advise customers of inappropriate behavior
and any necessary corrective action. However,
if the Service is used in a way that WildBlue
or its suppliers, in their sole discretion, believe
violate this AUP, WildBlue or its suppliers may
take any responsive actions they deem appropriate.
These actions include, but are not limited to,
temporary or permanent removal of content, cancellation
of newsgroup posts, filtering of Internet transmissions,
and the immediate suspension or termination of
all or any portion of the Service. Neither WildBlue
nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents will
have any liability for any these responsive actions.
These actions are not WildBlue's exclusive remedies
and WildBlue may take any other legal or technical
action it deems appropriate.
WildBlue
reserves the right to investigate suspected violations
of this AUP, including the gathering of information
from the user or users involved and the complaining
party, if any, and examination of material on
WildBlue's servers and network. During an investigation,
WildBlue may suspend the account or accounts involved
and/or remove or block material that potentially
violates this Policy. You expressly authorize
WildBlue and its suppliers to cooperate with (i)
law enforcement authorities in the investigation
of suspected legal violations, and (ii) and system
administrators at other Internet service providers
or other network or computing facilities in order
to enforce this Policy. This cooperation may include
WildBlue providing available personally identifiable
information about you to law enforcement or system
administrators, including, but not limited to,
username, subscriber name, and other account information.
Upon termination of your account, WildBlue is
authorized to delete any files, programs, data
and e-mail messages associated with your account.
The
failure of WildBlue or its suppliers to enforce
this AUP, for whatever reason, shall not be construed
as a waiver of any right to do so at any time.
You agree that if any portion of this Policy is
held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will
be construed consistent with applicable law as
nearly as possible, and the remaining portions
will remain in full force and effect.
The
provisions of this Policy are not meant to be
exhaustive. Generally, conduct that violates law,
regulation, or the accepted norms and ethics of
the Internet community or the community at large,
whether or not expressly mentioned in this Policy,
is prohibited. We reserve the right at all times
to prohibit activities that damage our commercial
reputation and goodwill or affect the quality
of our services or our ability to provide services.
You
shall comply with all applicable local, state,
national and international laws and regulations,
including those related to data privacy, international
communications, and exportation or technical or
personal data. You represent that you are not
a specifically designated individual or entity
under any US embargo or otherwise the subject,
either directly or indirectly (by affiliation,
or any other connection with another party) to
any order issued by any agency of the US Government
limiting, barring, revoking or denying, in whole
or in part your US export privileges. You agree
to notify WildBlue if you become subject to any
such order.
You
agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless WildBlue
and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents against
all claims and expenses (including reasonable
attorney fees) resulting from you engaging in
any of the prohibited activities listed in this
AUP or resulting from your violation of the AUP
or of any other posted WildBlue policy related
to the Service. Your indemnification will survive
any termination of the Subscriber Agreement.
