Rules
- IOUG Secured Access Areas are provided by IOUG as a service to a user with a valid access number. Any information posted in an IOUG Secured Access Area must be related to the purposes of IOUG.
- Secured Access Area ("SAA") users shall exercise both common sense and courtesy when transmitting messages in a Secured Access Area. SAA users shall not transmit defamatory, disparaging, obscene, or offensive materials or communications in a Secured Access Area.
- SAA users are prohibited from uploading or distributing articles, files, or other information subject to trademark, copyright, or other proprietary rights except with the express consent of the owner of the rights.
- SAA users are prohibited from accessing a Secured Access Area to communicate with competitors about prices, terms of service or otherwise communicate in a manner that may violate federal or state antitrust laws. Since Web site communications may be downloaded without the knowledge of the sender, SAA users should be fully informed about the antitrust laws as they apply to agreements among competitors and act in strict compliance with those laws.
- Information posted in a Secured Access Area will not be treated as confidential. IOUG may monitor materials and information found in a Secured Access Area, and it retains the right to remove any material or information it believes is not in the best interests of IOUG.
- A Secured Access Area may not be accessed to conduct any other activities that may be illegal. For example, a Secured Access Area shall not be used to encourage software infringement, spreading of computer viruses, breaking into private computer forums, gambling, or other crimes.
- A Secured Access Area may not be used in a manner that violates the bylaws or any other policies, procedures, rules or regulations of IOUG.
- Respect the security of a Secured Access Area. SAA users shall not attempt to gain access to areas private to IOUG and its members.
