INTRODUCTION
Community Broadband provides a variety of Internet, Phone and Networking services (the "Services") to its residential customers (the 'Subscribers"). The Services use resources that are shared with many other users throughout the Internet. Each Subscriber benefits by being able to share resources and communicate with other users through the Services. However, as with any community, the benefits and privileges of the Services must be balanced with duties and responsibilities so that all users can have a productive experience. This Acceptable Use Policy (the "Policy") is designed to help protect Community Broadband, Subscribers, and the Internet community in general from irresponsible or, in some cases, illegal activities.

By using the Services, Subscribers consent to be bound by the terms of this Policy, which may be updated at any time, effective upon posting at http://communitybroadband.com. This Policy should be read in conjunction with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and all other posted policies. Each Subscriber and those who access some of the Services through a Subscriber's account, but do not have accounts ("Visitors"), are responsible for ensuring that the use of all Services complies with this Policy.

Any violation of this Policy, or any policy posted at http://communitybroadband.com, or use of the Service for any other illegal activity is subject to immediate termination of service without notice. Any subscriber who does not agree to be bound by these terms should immediately terminate use of the services and notify the customer service department at 541-504-6600.

VIOLATIONS OF COMMUNITY BROADBAND'S ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
The following is a non-exclusive list of actions prohibited by Community Broadband, and discussed in further detail following this Section:

SECURITY
The Services may not be used to breach the security of another user or to attempt to gain access to any other person's computer, software or data, without the knowledge and consent of such person. The Services also may not be used in any attempt to circumvent the user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for you, logging into or making use of a server or account you are not expressly authorized to access, or probing the security of other networks. Use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security, such as password guessing programs, cracking tools, packet sniffers or network probing tools, is similarly prohibited.

You may not attempt to disrupt the Services. The Services also may not be used to interfere with computer networking or telecommunications services to any user, host or network, including, without limitation, denial of service attacks, flooding of a network, overloading a service, improper seizing and abuse of operator privileges and attempts to "crash" a host. The transmission or dissemination of any information or software that contains a virus or other harmful feature also is prohibited. You are solely responsible for the security of any device you choose to connect to the Services, including any data stored on that device.

INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
There may be content on the Internet or otherwise available through the Services which may be offensive to some individuals, or which may not be in compliance with all local laws, regulations and other rules. For example, it is possible to obtain access to content that is pornographic or offensive, particularly for children. Community Broadband cannot assume any responsibility for the content contained on the Internet or otherwise available through the Services. You must assume the risk of accessing content through the Services, and Community Broadband shall not have any liability for any claims, losses, actions, damages, suits, or proceedings arising out of or otherwise relating to access to such content. You are solely responsible for any information that you publish on the web or other Internet services. You must ensure that the content is only made available to appropriate recipients. Community Broadband has no obligation to monitor transmissions made on the Services. Community Broadband reserves the right to monitor any Subscriber's transmissions. Community Broadband may remove, or refuse to post, any information or materials, in whole or in part, that Community Broadband, in its sole discretion, deems to be offensive, indecent, or otherwise inappropriate regardless of whether such material or its dissemination is unlawful. By using the Services to reproduce, publish, display, transmit and distribute content, a Subscriber is warranting that the content complies with this Policy, and authorizing Community Broadband to reproduce, publish, display, transmit and distribute such content as necessary for Community Broadband to deliver the content in a timely manner.

ELECTRONIC MAIL (EMAIL)
The Services may not be used to send unsolicited bulk messages. This includes, but is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signature and political or religious messages. You may not reference Community Broadband (e.g. by including "Organization: Community Broadband" in the header or by listing an IP address that belongs to Community Broadband) in any unsolicited email even if that email is not sent through the Services. "Mail bombing" is prohibited. That is, you may not send numerous copies of the same or substantially similar messages, nor may you send very large messages or files to a recipient with the intent to disrupt a server or account. Community Broadband is not responsible for the forwarding of email sent to any account that has been suspended or terminated. Such email will be returned to sender, ignored, deleted or stored temporarily at Community Broadband's sole discretion.

NEWSGROUPS
Messages posted to newsgroups must comply with the written charters or FAQs for those newsgroups. Advertisements, solicitations, or other commercial messages should be posted only in those newsgroups whose charters or FAQs explicitly permit them. You are responsible for determining the policies of a given newsgroup before posting to it. Posting or cross-posting the same or substantially similar messages to more than eight newsgroups is prohibited. Binary files may not be posted to newsgroups not specifically named for that purpose. Subscribers posting binary files to groups with policies concerning the permissible daily volume of posted files are required to observe those limitations. A Subscriber may not attempt to "flood" or disrupt Usenet newsgroups. Disruption is defined as posting a large number of messages to a newsgroup, which contain no substantive content, to the extent that normal discussion in the group is significantly hindered. Examples of disruptive activities include, but are not limited to, posting multiple messages with no text in the body, or posting many follow-ups to messages with no new text. Messages may not be canceled, except by the author or by official newsgroup moderators performing their duties. The Usenet news service included with the Services is provided for interactive use by the Subscriber, using a commonly available NNTP client such as Netscape Communicator. Community Broadband reserves the right to discontinue access to any Usenet newsgroup at any time for any reason.

INTERNET RELAY CHAT
The Services may be used to participate in "chat" discussions. These discussions may be hosted by Community Broadband servers, by third party servers, or may not involve any servers at all. In all cases, Community Broadband does not normally monitor the contents of the discussions and is not liable for the contents of any communications made via Internet chat. The Services may not be used to perform chat "flooding". Flooding is defined as deliberately repeating actions in quick succession in order to fill the screens of other Internet users with text. Any computer or other device connected through the Services may not maintain more than two simultaneous chat connections. This includes the use of automated programs, such as "bots" or "clones" Automated programs may not be used when the account holder is not physically present at the device. A Subscriber may not use the Services to connect to chat servers or channels from which they been previously banned or indicated non-receipt. Forging, altering, or obscuring your identify (other than using a nickname from which Community Broadband could, if necessary, determine your real name) while participating in chat sessions is forbidden.

USE OF WEB SPACE
As part of the Services, Community Broadband may provide storage space and access for web pages through its web space / web hosting service. You are solely responsible for any information that you publish on web space provided to you by Community Broadband. Community Broadband will not routinely monitor the contents of your personal web space. You must ensure that the content published on your personal web space is only made available to appropriate recipients. Community Broadband reserves the right to monitor your web space and remove or refuse to post any content, in whole or in part, that it determines to be inappropriate. Community Broadband also reserves the right to remove your web space and terminate your web space service if Community Broadband determines that you have violated the terms of the Policy, bandwidth, data storage and other limitations. You must comply with the current bandwidth, data storage and other limitations on the Services. Subscribers must ensure that their activity does not properly restrict, inhibit, or degrade any other Subscriber's use of the Services, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Community Broadband) an unusually large burden on the network itself. In addition, Subscribers must ensure that their activity does not improperly restrict, inhibit, disrupt, degrade or impede Community Broadband's ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services. Subscribers may not resell, share, or otherwise distribute the Services or any portion thereof to any third party without the written consent of Community Broadband. For example, you cannot provide Internet access to others through a dial-up connection, host shell accounts over the Internet, provide email or news service, or send a news feed.

SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION
Community Broadband takes no responsibility for any material created or accessible through the Services. Community Broadband is not obligated to monitor or exercise editorial control over such material for violation of this Policy, but reserves the right to do so. In the event that Community Broadband becomes aware that any such material may violate this Policy or expose Community Broadband to civil or criminal liability, Community Broadband reserves the right to block access to such material and suspend or terminate any Subscriber creating, storing or disseminating such material. Community Broadband further reserves the right to cooperate with legal authorities and third parties in the investigation of alleged wrongdoing, including disclosing the identity of the subscriber that Community Broadband deems responsible for the wrongdoing. Any Subscriber that Community Broadband determines to have violated any element of this Policy may be subject to a suspension or termination of service, and if Community Broadband deems it necessary, immediate suspension or termination of such Subscriber's service without notice. Community Broadband may take such further action as it determines to be appropriate under the circumstances to eliminate or preclude repeat violations. Community Broadband shall not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by any Subscriber, user, or any third party resulting in whole or in part from Community Broadband's exercise of its rights under this Policy. The above-described actions are not Community Broadband's exclusive remedies and Community Broadband may take any other legal or technical action it deems appropriate. The failure of Community Broadband to enforce the Policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of any right to do so at any time. You agree that, if any portion of the Policy is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as nearly as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. The Policy shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Oregon. In the event of a conflict between any subscriber agreement and the Policy, the terms of the Policy will govern.

Questions regarding the Policy and complaints of violations of the Policy by Subscribers can be directed to Community Broadband at 541-504-6600 or to support@communitybroadband.com.
