Road Runner's Acceptable
Use Policy
Road Runner seeks to create and foster an on-line community that can
be used and enjoyed by all its members. To further that goal, Road Runner
has developed an Acceptable Use Policy. Although much of what is included
here is common sense, Road Runner takes these issues very seriously
and will enforce its rules to ensure enjoyment by all of its members.
Road Runner therefore has reserved the right to remove any content posted
to its system that it deems offensive, inappropriate or violative of
its policies. It also reserves the right to suspend or cancel a subscriber's
account for engaging in inappropriate conduct. (Subscribers, of course,
also remain legally responsible for any such acts.) In using Road Runner,
subscribers accept this non-exhaustive list of restrictions as well
as those set forth in the Road Runner Cable Modem Service Subscription
Agreement and agree to use Road Runner only for lawful purposes and
not to use or allow others to use Road Runner in violation of the following
guidelines:
- Unless
you have specifically subscribed for commercial grade service, the Road
Runner service is provided to you for personal, non-commercial use only.
This service cannot be used for any enterprise purpose whatsoever whether
or not the enterprise is directed toward making a profit. If it is your
intention to use this service for these purposes, please contact your
local cable operator to inquire whether commercial Road Runner service
programs are available.
- The Road
Runner service may not be used to engage in any conduct that interferes
with Road Runner's ability to provide service to others, including the
use of excessive bandwidth.
- The Road
Runner service may not be used to breach or attempt to breach the security,
the computer, the software or the data of any person or entity, including
Road Runner, to circumvent the user authentication features or security
of any host, network or account, to use or distribute tools designed
to compromise security, or to interfere with another's use of the Road
Runner service through the posting or transmitting of a virus or other
harmful item or to deliberately overload or flood that entity's system.
- In using
the Road Runner service, you may not use an IP address or client ID
not assigned to you, forge any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the
header information in an e-mail or newsgroup posting or probe, scan
or test the vulnerability of any system or network by the use of sniffers,
SNMP tools or any other method.
- The Road
Runner service may not be used to post or transmit content that violates
child pornography statutes or contains graphic visual depictions of
sexual acts or sexually explicit conduct involving children, or other
depictions of children, the primary appeal of which is prurient.
- The Road
Runner service may not be used to upload, post, transmit or otherwise
make available any materials or content that violate or infringe on
the rights or dignity of others. These include, but are not limited
to, materials infringing or compromising intellectual property rights
or any party's ability to maintain trade secrets and other personal
information as private; hate speech; threats of physical violence; harassing
conduct; sexually oriented material that is offensive or inappropriate;
and unsolicited bulk e-mail.
- The Road
Runner service may not be used to engage in or foster any consumer fraud
such as illegal gambling, "Make Money Fast" schemes, chain
letters, Pyramid, or other investment schemes, or to make or encourage
people to accept fraudulent offers of products, items or services, originating
from your account, or through a third party which implicates your account
or to post or transmit off-topic or commercial messages on bulletin
boards.
- You may
not engage in any of the above activities using the service of another
Internet provider, while channeling such activities through your Road
Runner account or using this account as a mail drop for responses.
As described
in more detail in the online Subscriber
Privacy Notice, Road Runner may disclose certain subscriber
information, unless you object, to certain commercial entities such
as advertisers and direct mail or telemarketers. This information
is limited to your name, address, and the particular services to which
you subscribe.
Lastly,
you should be aware that in keeping with federal and state law, Road
Runner, in response to court order or specified legal process or certain
kinds of emergency governmental requests, may turn over other information
such as the content of e-mail. All subscribers are subject to all
usage terms, conditions and policies set forth by Time
Warner Cable.
