Introduction

DreamzSolutions impose reasonable rules and regulations regarding use of our services. Such rules and regulations are called Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs)

By registering for our services, and thereby accepting the terms and conditions on the order form you agree to abide by the AUPs as modified from time to time. Any violation of the AUPs may result in the suspension or termination of your account or such other action as DreamzSolutions deems appropriate. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the AUPs if it is illegal, irresponsible, or disruptive use of the Internet. No credits will be issued for any interruption in service resulting from policy violations.

Customer Security Responsibilities 
The customer is solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting servers under customer control. If a customer's server is involved in an attack on another server or system, it will be shut down and an immediate investigation will be launched to determine the cause/source of the attack.

In such event, the customer is responsible for the cost to rectify any damage done to the customer's server and any other requirement affected by the security breach. The labor used to rectify any such damage is categorized as emergency security breach recovery and is currently charged at US$150 per hour.

System And Network Security 
Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. DreamzSolutions may investigate incidents involving such violations and may involve and will cooperate with law enforcement if a criminal violation is suspected. Examples of system or network security violations include, without limitation, the following: 
Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without express authorization of the owner of the system or network. 
Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system without express authorization of the owner of the system or network. 
Interference with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks. 
Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

Violators of the policy are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to cleanup and correct any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by DreamzSolutions. Such labor is categorized as emergency security breach recovery and is currently charged at US$150 per hour required. DreamzSolutions 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, DreamzSolutions urges its customers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. DreamzSolutions cannot take responsibility for the security of information transmitted over DreamzSolutions facility.

Internet Etiquette 
The customer is expected to be familiar with and to practice good Internet etiquette (Netiquette). The customer will comply with the rules appropriate to any network to which DreamzSolutions may provide access. The customer should not post, transmit, or permit Internet access to information the customer desires to keep confidential. The customer is not permitted to post any material that is illegal, libelous, tortuous, indecently depicts children or likely to result in retaliation against DreamzSolutions by offended users. DreamzSolutions reserves the right to refuse or terminate service at any time for violation of this section. This includes advertising services or sites via IRC or USENET in clear violation of the polices of the IRC channel or USENET group.

Commercial Advertisements with Email

Customers of DreamzSolutions may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. 

Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. This includes both commercial advertisements and informational messages sent to recipients via electronic mail (email) as well as off-topic messages posted in Usenet discussion groups where the recipient has not requested or invited the message. Email is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. 

Customers of DreamzSolutions are strictly prohibited from using or permitting others to use UCE or SPAM over our network. As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the DreamzSolutions network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients. Violation of DreamzSolutions SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, DreamzSolutions will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation,

DreamzSolutions may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations.

Further, DreamzSolutions reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. DreamzSolutions will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense. 

Billing

The customer may request that the customer's server be disconnected from the Internet, but the customer will still be responsible for paying for any network resources used up to the point of suspension or cancellation. Non-Payment of services shall result in a 3-day notice of disconnection. All payment failures must be cured within 3 days of notice. Subscribers failing to secure payment within 5 days of notice will incur service interruption and $50 reconnection fee.
