Internet Use Terms and Conditions

In order to provide for the appropriate use of the Internet and in keeping with Board of Director policy, the following "Internet Use Terms and Conditions" have been developed.

INFORMATION CONTENT AND USES OF THE SYSTEM

Employees agree not to publish on or over EBV-Net any information which violates or infringes upon the rights of any other person or any information which would be abusive, profane, or sexually offensive to a reasonable person, or which, without the approval of the system administrators, contains any advertising or any solicitation of others to use good or services. Employees agree not to use the facilities and capabilities of the EBV-Net to conduct any business or activity or solicit the performance of any activity that is prohibited by law.

Because EBV-Net provides through connection to the Internet access to other computer systems around the world, members of the Board of Directors specifically understand that the system administrators and Escuela Bella Vista do not have control of the content of the information residing on these other systems. Faculty members UPare advised that some systems may contain defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, racially offensive or illegal material.

EBV-Net and the system administrators do not condone the use of such materials and do not permit usage of such materials in the school environment.

EBV-Net, the system administrators, and Escuela Bella Vista do not warrant that the functions or services performed by or that the information or software contained on the system will meet the faculty member's requirements or that the operation of the system will be uninterrupted or error-free or that defects in the system will be corrected. EBV-Net does not make any warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to any services provided by same and any information or software contained therein.

UPDATING MEMBER ACCOUNT INFORMATION

EBV-Net may occasionally require new registration and account information from members to continue the service.

ON-LINE CONDUCT

Any action by a faculty member that is determined by a system administrator to constitute an inappropriate use of EBV-Net or to improperly restrict or inhibit other members from using and enjoying EBV-Net is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of an offending member's access. Members specifically agree not to store, submit, publish, print or display on or through EBV-Net any defamatory, abusive, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, racially offensive, illegal, or deliberately inaccurate material; nor shall members provide direct links to such materials or encourage the use of controlled substances. Transmission of material, information, or software in violation of any local, state, federal or international law is prohibited and is a breach of these Terms and Conditions.

Members specifically agree to indemnify EBV-Net and Escuela Bella Vista, its officers and employees, and the system administrators for any losses, costs, or damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Escuela Bella Vista, it officers and employees, and the system administrators relating to, or arising out of any breach of the terms of these Terms and Conditions by the Member.

EBV-Net is to be used by Faculty Members for personal use only. Commercial uses of EBV-Net are strictly prohibited.

COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

Copyrighted material must not be placed on any system connected to EBV-Net without the copyright owner's permission. Members may download copyrighted material for their own use to the extent allowed by current copyright law. Members should understand that materials developed, displayed, or contributed to the system as part of a school project, or which use any school resources in their development, become the property of Escuela Bella Vista and not the property of any individual contributors to these projects.

REAL-TIME/INTERACTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

Use of EBV-Net to access "talkers," "chat rooms," role-playing games, and other multi-user real-time conferences is prohibited without specific prior permission from the Management Team.

ELECTRONIC MAIL

Electronic mail is a personal electronic message provided by the school. Members are expected to remove old messages in a timely fashion. The passing of chain letters via Mail is specifically prohibited. Any Mail messages may be monitored or inspected by the system administrators, although the system administrator will not normally inspect the contents of Mail sent by one member to an identified addressee or disclose such contents to other than the sender or an intended recipient without the consent of the sender or any intended recipient, unless required to do so by law or policies of Escuela Bella Vista, or to investigate complaints regarding Mail which is alleged to contain defamatory, abusive, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, racially offensive, illegal, or deliberately inaccurate material. Privacy is not guaranteed.

SECURITY

Security on EBV-Net is a high priority, especially when the system involves many users. Identified security problems should be addressed to the systems administrator. Members may not let others use their account and/or password. Attempts to log in to the system using another Member's account or as a system administrator will result in termination of the account. Any Member identified as a security risk or having a history of problems with other computer systems may be denied access to EBV-Net.

VANDALISM

Vandalism is defined as any malicious attempt to harm or destroy data or equipment of another Member, EBV-Net, any equipment connected to EBV-Net, or any of the agencies or other networks that are connected to the Internet. This includes, but is not limited to, the uploading or creation of computer viruses. Vandalism will result in cancellation of access privileges and possibly other disciplinary and/or legal action.

TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF ACCESS

In the case of violations of the Terms and Conditions the Management Team may immediately suspend a Member's access to the system and may refer the matter to the Board of Directors.

ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS

In order to ensure adherence to the Terms and Conditions, the system administrators reserve the right to monitor all activity on the system and to inspect files, including Mail, stored in the system. Privacy is not guaranteed.
