As a provider of Internet access, Internet email, web site hosting, and other Internet- related services, KanOkla Networks offers its subscribers (and their customers and users), the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of information. KanOkla Networks respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, there are competing interests at issue. KanOkla Networks reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions as deemed necessary. In order to protect these competing interests, KanOkla Networks has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing KanOkla Networks 's services.

All users of KanOkla Networks’s Internet services (“Service”) - those who access some of KanOkla Networks’s Services but do not have an account with KanOkla Networks (“Visitors”), as well as those who pay a monthly fee to subscribe to the Services (“Subscribers”) – must comply with this AUP. KanOkla Networks supports the free flow of information and ideas over the Internet and does not actively monitor use of the Services under normal circumstances. Similarly, KanOkla Networks does not exercise editorial control over the content of any Web site, electronic mail transmission, news group, or other material created or accessible over or through the Services, except for certain proprietary websites. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of KanOkla Networks 's services after changes to the AUP are posted on KanOkla Networks 's web site, www.kanokla.com , will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.

Prohibited Activities: When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, information created and carried over KanOkla Networks 's network and may reach a large number of people, including both Subscribers and non-subscribers of KanOkla Networks, possibly affecting other subscribers and may harm KanOkla Networks's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these and other reasons, KanOkla Networks has developed an AUP to define prohibited activities:

Spamming -- Sending unsolicited bulk and/or unsolicited commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming") or activities that have the effect of facilitating unsolicited commercial email or unsolicited bulk email whether or not the email is commercial in nature. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, KanOkla Networks has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list. KanOkla Networks does not support spamming and it is KanOkla Networks’s policy to interrupt or terminate subscriber service that may potentially pose harm to KanOkla Networks’s business reputation and operations.

Intellectual Property Violations -- Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. KanOkla Networks is registered under and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"). KanOkla Networks is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also KanOkla Networks's policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws. Utilization of services to copy material from third parties (including text, graphics, music, videos or other copyrightable material) without proper authorization is prohibited. See also Other Services.

Other Activities -- Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that KanOkla Networks determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

Action: As KanOkla Networks has pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. KanOkla Networks will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that they comply with KanOkla Networks policy or applicable law. When KanOkla Networks becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, suspension or termination of service, or any other action it deems appropriate.

Third Party: KanOkla Networks also is aware that many of its subscribers are, themselves, providers of Internet services, and that information reaching KanOkla Networks's facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a customer of the subscriber or from another third-party. KanOkla Networks does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by customers of its subscribers. KanOkla Networks has the right to directly take action against a customer of a subscriber. Also, KanOkla Networks may take action against the KanOkla Networks subscriber because of activities of a customer of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other customers of the subscriber. Similarly, KanOkla Networks anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with KanOkla Networks in any corrective or preventive action that KanOkla Networks deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of KanOkla Networks policy.

Privacy: KanOkla Networks also 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, KanOkla Networks urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. KanOkla Networks cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over KanOkla Networks 's facilities.

KanOkla Networks will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its subscribers unless required to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. KanOkla Networks may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, KanOkla Networks may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or governmental request. KanOkla Networks assumes no obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, KanOkla Networks may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect KanOkla Networks and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.

Other Services: KanOkla Networks may, but is not required to, block incoming or outgoing messages. At KanOkla Networks’s discretion, may use Spam filtering and/or virus scanning for both inbound and outbound email. This does not relieve the customer of responsibility but instead acts as a secondary safety mechanism and minimizes misuse of network infrastructure and bandwidth. KanOkla Networks will not be held responsible for any viruses or emails you may receive or send via email nor will KanOkla Networks be responsible for lost, misdirected, or undeliverable email.

KanOkla Networks at it’s discretion, may shape bandwidth and transfer of data to best accommodate the needs of the network. This can include prioritizing traffic to insure customers have the optimal opportunity to surf the web and utilize email. These measures may include but not be limited to bandwidth shaping, traffic prioritizing, and caching.

Legal: KanOkla Networks expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning on-line communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate KanOkla Networks policy. Finally, KanOkla Networks wishes to emphasize that in utilizing KanOkla Networks’s services and network, subscribers indemnify and hold KanOkla Networks harmless for any violation of the service agreement, law, or KanOkla Networks policy that results in loss to KanOkla Networks or the bringing of any claim against KanOkla Networks by any third-party. This means that if KanOkla Networks is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will pay any damages awarded against KanOkla Networks, plus costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.

One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that KanOkla Networks cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because KanOkla Networks cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, KanOkla Networks cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.

This service(s) is provided “as is”. KanOkla Networks makes no warranties, expressed or implied, of any kind. This includes but is not limited to business claims, accuracy, security, performance, or privacy.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including KanOkla Networks and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a violation or potential violation of this AUP should be sent to KanOkla Networks.
