Innovative Computer Specialists Corp (ICSC)

The policies and guidelines expressed herein supplement the rights and obligations of the
parties under the Service Agreement of even date. This document establishes operating
principles and acceptable use policies as they relate to the Customer's use of the Internet
and the connection/services provided by ICSC to the Customer under the Service
Contract Agreement.

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 ICSC 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 to obtain 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 Inte.netplies 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 by ICSC. 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.

g) Pornography - Due to legal and social issues, we will not accept any new customers who
publish pornographic images. We do not allow any pornographic content on our server,
including but not limited to nude photographs, explicit language, or sexual fiction. If an
existing customer publishes pornographic images, ICSC may suspend and/or cancel
your account.

Let's make this easy to understand: No site that promotes porn or nudity will be allowed on
our servers, this includes BANNERS, CLICKER SITES, EDITORIALS, STORIES, NUDE
PHOTOGRAPHS, EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, SEXUAL FICTION, OR ANYTHING THAT
ICSC DEEMS INAPPROPRIATE FOR OUR SERVERS. If an existing customer
publishes pornographic images, ICSC will remove your site from our server and all
monies paid will be forfeited.


i) Excessive CPU usage's - Customers will not be allowed to use excessive amounts of CPU
processing on any of our servers or face immediate suspension. For example:

1) A few customers have tried re-selling our counters or auto-responders to the rest of
the world which caused an excessive amount of requests on our server(s).
2) Email bombs.
3) Re-selling CGI access to other 3rd parties
4) Chat rooms, either Java or CGI are prohibited; we suggest using our new Java Chat
service instead. This includes but is not limited to: BitchX, eggdrop, chat.pl,
quickchat.cgi, etc. If you wish use a chat service other than our Java Chat Service, we
suggest ParaChat.
5) IRC Daemons, are strictly prohibited
6) Other activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that we determine to be harmful to our
subscribers, operations, or reputation, including activities that restrict or inhibit any
other user from using and enjoying the service or the internet.

ICSC will be permitted to submit BULK EMAIL of any type. This includes but not
limited to using our Email server or any other BULK EMAIL submission service, i.e. Cyber
Promotions. This includes but is not limited to the the use of the Domain Name or an Email
Address for the Domain Name in the actual Bulk Email. If we receive a complaint on a BULK
EMAIL from a Domain maintained on our servers, the account will be subject to suspension
and/or cancellation without notice. Click here for more explicit detail on our Email Policies
