Acceptable Use Policy
1. Web Werks offers its clients (also known as subscribers), and their clients and users; the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. Web Werks respects that the Internet provides the forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, Web Werks reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions even though such Internet / Network connectivity has not been taken from Web Werks. Provided, however, Web Werks will take such preventive action, only if Web Werks proves to Client's satisfaction that such preventive / corrective action is required and after providing Client a written notice of reasonable period as per the demand of the situation to cure the same and the Client fails to cure within a reasonable period as agreed between Web Werks and Client. In order to protect these competing interests, Web Werks has developed an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which supplements and explains certain terms of each client's respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the client's rights and obligations when utilising Web Werks's services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A client's use of Web Werks's services will constitute the client's acceptance of this AUP. For avoidance of doubt, any chances to the AUP will be notified to the client in writing.
2. 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 Web Werks cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscriber 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 of some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because Web Werks cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, Web Werks cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.
3. When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that Web Werks 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 they create is hosted on equipment co-located in Web Werks data center and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of Web Werks, subscribers posting to the Internet may affect other subscribers, violate Web Werks policy and the service agreement when they, their client, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

When Web Werks becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity it deems appropriate.

15. Web Werks also is aware that many of its subscribers are, themselves, providers of Internet services, and the information reaching Web Werks's facilities from those subscribers may have originated from a client of the subscriber or from another third-party. Web Werks does not require its subscribers who offer Internet services to monitor or censor transmissions or web sites created by clients of its subscribers. Web Werks has the right to directly take action against a client of a subscriber. Also, Web Werks may take action against the Web Werks subscriber because of activities of a client of the subscriber, even though the action may affect other clients of the subscriber. Similarly, Web Werks anticipates that subscribers who offer Internet services will cooperate with Web Werks in any corrective or preventive action that Web Werks deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Web Werks Acceptable User Policy.
16. Web Werks also is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and websites. In general, the Internet is neither more or less secure than other means of communications, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised, As a matter of prudence, however, Web Werks urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. Web Werks cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over Web Werks's facilities.
17. Web Werks will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its subscribers unless to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at sake.

In the event that a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute regulation, or governmental request etc., requires Web Werks to disclose the Client Information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, Web Werks will promptly notify Client of the same and shall take all effective steps including, without limitation, providing an opportunity to Client to also ensure that as far as possible, Client's Confidential Information is not disclosed by Web Werks. Web Werks 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. Web Werks expects that its subscribers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of on-line communications. A subscriber's failure to comply those laws will violate Web Werks's policy.
