of even date. This document establishes operating principles
and acceptable use policies as they relate to the Customer's

General
The Internet is a voluntary association of users interested in
and willing to exchange information and data with other Internet
users. At present, there is no oversight group providing governance
over the principles, policies or procedures for use of the Internet
or the information and data accessed via the Internet.
In order to facilitate their contractual relationship, the Customer
and EHD wish to define a working protocol of principles and policies
and, establish operating guidelines and acceptable standards
of use of the Internet. To this end the parties agree as follows:
Principles Governing Acceptable use of the Internet by
the Customer
1. Responsibility and Respect - The Internet is a network intended
for use by mature, adult users. The Customer recognizes this principle
and undertakes at all times to act with respect, courtesy and
responsibility, giving due regard to the interests and rights
of other Internet user groups. This general guideline carries
with it the following specific responsibilities:
a) Knowledge of the Internet - The Customer agrees that he/she
has a basic knowledge of the Internet and its operating principles
and procedures.
b) Improper Uses - The Customer will avoid violation of certain
generally accepted guidelines on Internet usage such as restrictions
on mass mailings and mass advertisements, pirating or copying
of software, mail bombing or other methods of attempting to deny
service or access to other users, and attempts to violate security.
c) Compliance with Laws - The Customer will ensure that its use
of the Internet complies with all applicable federal, state and
local law and regulation, including but not limited to those principles
of law which protect against compromise of copyrights, trade secrets,
proprietary information and other intellectual property rights,
libel or defamation of character, invasion of privacy, tortuous
interference, and export of technical or military data to prohibited
countries.
d) Validation of Information - The Customer is responsible for
validating the integrity of the information and data it receives
or transmits over the Internet.
e) Security - The Customer is required to protect the security
of its Internet account and usage. The Customer(s) password will
be treated as private and confidential and will not be disclosed
to or shared with any third parties except with EHD. Should
the customer disclose their password to any third party, the customer
agrees to take full responsibility for the actions of said third
party in connection with their account.
f) Discretion and Judgment - The Customer is expected to use discretion
in the treatment and handling of Internet information and data
and to take particular care to insure that adult information is
not transmitted to juvenile users of the Internet.

any new customers who publish child pornographic images. We do
not allow any child pornographic content on our server, including
but not limited to photographs of nude children, explicit language,

will remove the site from our server without notice and all monies
paid will be forfeited.

excessive amounts of CPU processing on any of our servers. Such
