Effective Jan 1, 2018
This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) specifies the actions prohibited by Adar, Inc., d.b.a Rhodian Group (Rhodian) to users of our Network (you, Customer). Rhodian reserves the right to modify the AUP at any time, effective upon posting of the modified policy, and encourages users to review the AUP regularly.
This AUP is incorporated by reference into your Customer Service Order with Rhodian and your services may be suspended or terminated for violation of this AUP in accordance with the Master Services Agreement.
By using the Services provided by Rhodian and accepting the Service Order and Master Services Agreement, you agree to abide by the AUP, as modified from time to time. Capitalized terms used in this AUP will have the meaning given in the Master Services Agreement.
Questions and inquiries regarding this AUP should be directed to info@rhodiangroup.com.
The Rhodian Network may be used only for lawful, proper, and appropriate purposes. Customers cannot use Rhodian’s Network or Services to engage in, foster, or promote illegal, abusive, or irresponsible behavior, including, without limitation:
Use of any false, misleading, or deceptive TCP-IP packet header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.
Sending bulk or unsolicited commercial email messages is explicitly prohibited on the Rhodian Network. For all other commercial email messages, all customers must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and other laws and regulations applicable to commercial email.
You must also comply with the following email policies for all commercial emails:
These policies apply to messages sent using your Rhodian service, or to messages sent from any network or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site or an email address hosted via your Rhodian service.
In addition, you may not use a third-party email service that does not practice similar procedures for all its customers. These requirements apply to distribution lists prepared by third parties to the same extent as if the list were created by your organization.
Rhodian may test and otherwise monitor your compliance with its requirements and may block the transmission of email that violates these provisions, if necessary.
Do not attempt to probe, scan, penetrate, or test the vulnerability of a Rhodian system or Network or to breach Rhodian’s security or authentication measures, whether by passive or intrusive techniques, without Rhodian’s express written consent.
Follow the rules and conventions for postings to any bulletin board, chat group, or other forum in which you would like to participate, such as IRC and USENET groups including their rules for content and commercial postings. These groups usually prohibit the posting of off-topic commercial messages, or mass postings to multiple forums.
You must also comply with the rules of any other Network you access or participate in using your Rhodian services.
Do not publish or transmit via Rhodian’s Network and equipment any content or links to any content that Rhodian reasonably believes:
Content “published or transmitted” via Rhodian’s Network or equipment includes web content, email, bulletin board postings, chat, and any other type of posting or transmission that relies on the Internet.
Do not use Rhodian’s Network or equipment to download, publish, distribute, or otherwise copy (including digitization of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources) in any manner any text, music, software, art, image, or other work protected by copyright law unless:
You must have valid and current information on file with your domain name registrar for any domain hosted on the Rhodian Network.
Rhodian may charge you its hourly rate for AUP breach recovery (currently $250.00), plus the cost of equipment and material needed to: (i) investigate or otherwise respond to any suspected violation of this AUP, (ii) remedy any harm caused to Rhodian or any of its customers by the violation of this AUP, (iii) respond to complaints, including complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, (iv) respond to subpoenas and other third party requests for information as described in the Master Services Agreement, and (v) have Rhodian’s Internet Protocol numbers removed from any abuse database.
Rhodian has no practical ability to restrict all conduct, communications, or content that might violate this AUP prior to its transmission on the Rhodian Network, nor can we ensure prompt removal of any such communications or content after transmission or posting. Accordingly, Rhodian does not assume liability to any customer or others for any failure to enforce the terms of this AUP.
