Acceptable Use Policy
Revision date: 2009-Aug-27

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement, and is intended as a guide to the subscribers (users with or without accounts) rights and obligations when using SLIDEFUL.COM' services.

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 it, 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 SLIDEFUL.COM cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information they 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 may be sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because SLIDEFUL.COM cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, SLIDEFUL.COM cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers resulting from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive or illegal Internet communications.

When subscribers disseminate information from the Internet, they must keep in mind that SLIDEFUL.COM does not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation and other harmful speech. Also, because the information created is carried over SLIDEFUL.COM' network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of SLIDEFUL.COM, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may affect SLIDEFUL.COM' goodwill, business, reputation or operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate SLIDEFUL.COM policy and the Service Agreement when they, their customers, affiliates or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming:
Spamming (examples: sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet) is not permitted.

Adult-Oriented Content:

Such files include but are not limited to .ISO, audio/video files, .EXE files. If you are unsure whether your file is against this policy, please e-mail .

Obscene Speech or Materials:
Using SLIDEFUL.COM' network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material is prohibited. SLIDEFUL.COM is required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through its network.

Also, any activity that may be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e., port scan, stealth scan or other information-gathering activity).

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses or Other Destructive Activities:
Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service or equipment.

Facilitation a Violation of this AUP:
Advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available any software, program, product or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mail bombing, denial of service attacks and piracy of software.

Other Illegal Activities:
Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including, but not limited to, advertising, transmitting or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards and pirating software.

Other Activities:
Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that SLIDEFUL.COM determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. SLIDEFUL.COM will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that the comply with SLIDEFUL.COM' policy or applicable law. However, when SLIDEFUL.COM becomes aware of harmful activities, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removal of information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or any other action deemed appropriate by SLIDEFUL.COM.

SLIDEFUL.COM may monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, SLIDEFUL.COM 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. SLIDEFUL.COM assumes not 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, SLIDEFUL.COM may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect SLIDEFUL.COM and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system. However, SLIDEFUL.COM will never sell information to other services or outside companies.

SLIDEFUL.COM expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of online communications. A subscriber's failure to comply with those laws will violate SLIDEFUL.COM policy. Finally, SLIDEFUL.COM wishes to emphasize that, in signing the Service Agreement, subscribers indemnify SLIDEFUL.COM for any violation of the Service Agreement, law or SLIDEFUL.COM policy resulting in loss to SLIDEFUL.COM or the bringing of any claim against SLIDEFUL.COM by any third party. This means that, if SLIDEFUL.COM is sued because of a subscriber's or customer of a subscriber's activity, the subscriber will be responsible for payment of any damages awarded against SLIDEFUL.COM, plus costs and reasonable attorney's fees.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including SLIDEFUL.COM and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber's violation of this AUP should be sent to .

This AUP will be revised from time to time.
