Acceptable Use Policy

GENERAL

SolConsult LLC (hereafter referenced as SolConsult provides VPN services under the name of Solvpn.com. As a provider of internet VPN services, SolConsult offers its clients, and their customers and users, the means to disseminate public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information.

SolConsult respects the fact that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information. However, when there are competing interests at issue, SolConsult reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, SolConsult has developed this Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer's respective service agreement. This AUP is intended as a guide to the customer's rights and obligations when utilizing SolConsult's services.

This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of SolConsult's services after changes to the AUP are posted on Solvpn.com web sites will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP.

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 to disseminate information to others.

It must be kept in mind that SolConsult does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its clients may create. When clients 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 place on SolConsult's network may be carried to a large number of people, including both clients and non-clients of SolConsult, clients' postings to the Internet may affect other clients and may harm SolConsult's goodwill, business reputation, and operations.

PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

SolConsult clients violate SolConsult policy and the service agreement when the clients, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming

Intellectual Property Violations

Defamatory or Abusive Language

Forging of Headers

Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks

Background Running Programs

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities

Facilitating a Violation of this AUP

Export Control Violations

Spamming Usenet Groups or Message Boards

Any Other Illegal Activities

It is SolConsult's policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of SolConsult policy and service agreements.

Spamming is the sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward SolConsult, but also because it can overload SolConsult's network and disrupt service to SolConsult clients. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, SolConsult has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the e-mail recipients were from an "opt-in" e-mail list. Refer to our UCE/SPAM Policy for more information.

Intellectual Property Violations is the engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. SolConsult is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement laws.

Defamatory or Abusive Language refers to the use of SolConsult's network as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.

Forging of Headers refers to the forging or misrepresenting of message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks is accessing illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's system (often known as "hacking"). This violation also includes any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

Background Running Programs - Background Daemons in general are prohibited on SolConsult servers, including, but not limited to, IRC bots, eggdrop, BitchX, XiRCON, warez sites and any other programs that interfere with normal server operation. SolConsult has the sole responsibility of deciding what consitutes a violation of the above policy.

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities refers to the distributing of information regarding the creation of and sending of internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mailbombing, or denial of service attacks. Also, it includes any activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service, or equipment.

Facilitating a Violation of this AUP refers to advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mailbombing, denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.

Export Control Violations refers to exporting encryption software, over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.

Spamming Usenet Groups or Message Boards c SolConsult reserves the right not to accept postings from newsgroups where we have actual knowledge that the content of the newsgroup violates the AUP.

Other Illegal Activities refers to engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes. Other examples are fraudulently charging credit cards and pirating software.

Other Activities refer to any activity, including lawful ones, that SolConsult determines to be harmful to its clients, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

The responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the client. SolConsult will not, in normal practice, monitor the communications of its clients to ensure that they comply with SolConsult policy or applicable law. When SolConsult becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or other actions SolConsult deems appropriate.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

SolConsult is also 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, SolConsult urges its clients to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. SolConsult cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted SolConsult's facilities.

SolConsult will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its clients unless required to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. SolConsult may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily.

SolConsult may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a client, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or USA governmental request. SolConsult assumes no obligation to inform the client that client information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, SolConsult may disclose client information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect SolConsult and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including SolConsult and its clients, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a client's violation of this AUP should be sent to mailto:admin@Solvpn.com
