Canada Web Developer’s Usage Policy is designed to protect Canada Web Developer, its Users and others from illegal, malicious, damaging and inappropriate behavior by Users of Canada Web Developer’s services. All users of Canada Web Developer’s services are subject to the Usage Policy. The Usage Policy lists activities that are prohibited on Canada Web Developer’s services, such as hacking and spamming.

General Information

As used herein, the term “Subscriber” or “Subscribers” shall include any and all users, customers, subscribers, affiliates (including without limitation customers or non-customers to whom Canada Web Developer provides links or banners to promote the services or products of Canada Web Developer or any third party the services or products of which are offered by or obtained through or in connection with Canada Web Developer), resellers or others (i) who sign up for, use or obtain services or products from Canada Web Developer or from any third party services or products of which are offered by or obtained through or in connection with Canada Web Developer, or (ii) who visit the Web site of Canada Web Developer Web Hosting or of any such third party.
As a provider of Internet/World Wide Web access, Web site hosting, and other Internet-related services, Canada Web Developer, (“Canada Web Developer”) offers Subscribers, the means to acquire and disseminate a wealth of public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. Canada Web Developer respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, Canada Web Developer reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, Canada Web Developer has developed this Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), which supplements and explains certain terms of each Subscriber’s respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the Subscriber’s rights and obligations when utilizing Canada Web Developer’s services.
This AUP will be revised from time to time. A Subscriber’s use of Canada Web Developer’s services after changes to the AUP are posted on Canada Web Developer Web Hosting’s Web site, under the Terms of Service section, will constitute the Subscriber’s acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes. 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 or others obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that Canada Web Developer cannot and does not monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that users may acquire. For this reason, the user 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 Canada Web Developer cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, Canada Web Developer cannot and does not accept any responsibility for injury to its Subscribers or others that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications. When Subscribers or others disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that Canada Web Developer does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its users, customers, subscribers or others may create. When Subscribers or others 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 carried over Canada Web Developer’s network and may reach a large number of people, including both Subscribers and subscribers and non-subscribers of Canada Web Developer, Subscribers’ postings to the Internet may affect others and may harm Canada Web Developer’s goodwill, business reputation, and operations.
For these reasons, Subscribers violate Canada Web Developer policy and the service agreement when they, their users, customers, subscribers, employees, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in activities described herein.
