Policy for Broadband Internet Services

 

HARGRAY FAMILY OF COMPANIES ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY FOR BROADBAND INTERNET SERVICES

Hargray Telephone Company, Bluffton Telephone Company, Hargray of Georgia, and Hargray Communications Group, Inc. (“Hargray” or “Company”) have adopted this Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) to outline the acceptable use of Hargray’s Broadband Internet service (“Broadband Service”). This AUP is in addition to any restrictions contained in the Hargray service agreement for Internet service (the “Subscriber Agreement”). Please also refer to the Frequently Asked Questions ("FAQ"), which includes explanations of how Hargray will enforce this AUP in the context of network management. All capitalized terms used in this AUP that are not defined here have the meanings given to them in the Subscriber Agreement.

You, the customer, must comply with this AUP. Your failure to do so could result in the suspension or termination of your Broadband Service account. If you do not agree to comply with this AUP, you must immediately stop all use of the Broadband Service and notify Hargray so that we can close your account.

Hargray may revise this AUP from time to time and will have the latest version posted on its website. Hargray will use reasonable efforts to make customers aware of any changes to this AUP, which may include sending email announcements or posting additional information on the Hargray website. Revised versions of this AUP are effective immediately upon posting. Accordingly, customers of the Hargray Broadband Internet Broadband Service should read any Hargray announcements they receive and regularly visit the Hargray website and review this AUP to ensure that their activities conform to the most recent version. You can send questions regarding this AUP to, and report violations of it at, [email protected]. To report illegal content on the Internet, go to www.ftc.gov.

II. Customer Conduct and Features of the Broadband Service

A. Customer Obligations

In addition to being responsible for your own compliance with this AUP, you are also responsible for any use or misuse of the Broadband Service that violates this AUP, even if it was committed by a friend, family member, or guest with access to your Broadband Service account. Therefore, you must take steps to ensure that others do not use your account to gain unauthorized access to the Broadband Service by, for example, strictly maintaining the confidentiality of your Broadband Service login and password. In all cases, you are solely responsible for the security of any device you choose to connect to the Broadband Service, including any data stored or shared on that device. It is also your responsibility to secure the Customer Equipment and any other Premises equipment or programs not provided by Hargray that connects to the Broadband Service from external threats such as viruses, spam, bot nets, and other methods of intrusion.

B. Hargray’s Rights

Hargray reserves the right to refuse to transmit or post, and to remove or block, any information or materials, in whole or in part, that it, in its sole discretion, deems to be in violation of Sections I or II of this AUP, or otherwise harmful to Hargray’s network or customers using the Broadband Service, regardless of whether this material or its dissemination is lawful so long as it violates this AUP. Neither Hargray nor any of its affiliates, suppliers, or agents have any obligation to monitor transmissions or postings (including, but not limited to, email, file transfer, blog, newsgroup, and instant message transmissions) made on the Broadband Service. However, Hargray and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents have the right to monitor these transmissions and postings from time to time for violations of this AUP and to disclose, block, or remove them in accordance with this AUP, the Subscriber Agreement, and applicable law.

C. Service Restrictions

All of Hargray’s network and system services are provided according to scheduled fees for each type of service. You agree to use such services in accordance with the terms set forth below.

1. Email and Web-Hosting Services

(i) Unsolicited Email Prohibited — You may not use Hargray-hosted email addresses for the purpose of sending unsolicited email. You may not use or cause to be used Hargray’s equipment, network connectivity, or other resources to originate, deliver, relay, or otherwise transmit unsolicited email messages. You may not engage in any of the foregoing prohibited activities by using the service of any other provider, third-party agent, remailing service, or address forwarding service, in such a way that Hargray’s network addresses or Hargray-hosted Web or email services are in any way identified as being associated with the sending of unsolicited email.

(ii) Unauthorized use, or forging, of mail header information (e.g.,  “spoofing”) is prohibited.

(iii) Fraudulent Activity Prohibited — You may not use the Hargray email and Web-hosting services to make fraudulent offers to sell or buy products, items, services or to advance any type of financial scam, such as “pyramid schemes,” “Ponzi schemes”, or “chain letters.” You may not use techniques to hide or obscure the source of any email or other communications.

(iv) Hargray reserves the right to suspend or delay delivery of email to Customer utilizing the Hargray email services and/or the virtual domain email if the volume of email being redirected, stored, or delivered on the Customer’s behalf is deemed excessive. Excessive traffic is defined as any amount of email that consumes more than 10MB of disk storage space per individual mailbox or any volume of email traffic that noticeably degrades performance on the server in question, in the sole discretion of Hargray. Stored mail exceeding these limits may be transferred to a compressed file at Hargray’s discretion. Hargray will attempt to notify the account holder via the account contact information on record; however, Hargray reserves the right to delete the contents of such email boxes upon 30 days after attempted notification.

(v) The Broadband Service may not be used to communicate or distribute email or other forms of communications in violation of Section I of this AUP. As described below in Section III of this AUP, Hargray uses reasonable network management tools and techniques to protect customers from receiving spam and from sending spam (often without their knowledge over an infected computer).

(vi) Hargray is not responsible for deleting or forwarding any email sent to the wrong email address by you or by someone else trying to send email to you. Hargray is also not responsible for forwarding email sent to any account that has been suspended or terminated. This email will be returned to the sender, ignored, deleted, or stored temporarily at Hargray’s sole discretion.

(vii) In the event that Hargray believes in its sole discretion that any subscriber name, account name, or email address (collectively, an “identifier”) on the Broadband Service may be used for, or is being used for, any misleading, fraudulent, or other improper or illegal purpose, Hargray (i) reserves the right to block access to and prevent the use of any of these identifiers and (ii) may at any time require any customer to change his or her identifier. In addition, Hargray may at any time reserve any identifiers on the Broadband Service for Hargray’s own purposes. In the event that a Broadband Service account is terminated for any reason, all email associated with that account (and any secondary accounts) will be permanently deleted, as well.

2. Instant, Video, and Audio Messages

Each user is responsible for the contents of his or her instant, video, and audio messages and the consequences of any of these messages. Hargray assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, misdelivery, deletion, or failure to store these messages. In the event that a Broadband Service account is terminated for any reason, all instant, video, and audio messages associated with that account (and any secondary accounts) will be permanently deleted, as well.

 3. Personal Web Pages and File Storage

You are solely responsible for any information that you or others publish or store on any personal Web page or in any storage files. You are also responsible for ensuring that all content made available through personal Web pages is appropriate for those who may have access to it. For example, you must take appropriate precautions to prevent minors from receiving or accessing inappropriate content. Hargray reserves the right to remove, block, or refuse to post or store any information or materials, in whole or in part, that it, in its sole discretion, deems to be in violation of Section I of this AUP. For purposes of this AUP, “material” refers to all forms of communications, including text, graphics (including photographs, illustrations, images, drawings, logos), executable programs and scripts, video recordings, and audio recordings.

III. Network Management and Limitations on Data Consumption

Hargray manages its network with the goal of delivering a fast, safe, and uncompromised broadband Internet experience to all of its customers. But high-speed bandwidth and network resources are not unlimited. Managing the network is essential for the promotion of best possible Broadband Internet experience by all of Hargray’s Customers. The Company uses reasonable network management practices that are consistent with industry standards. Hargray tries to use tools and technologies that are minimally intrusive and, in its independent judgment guided by industry experience, among the best in class. Of course, the Company’s network management practices will change and evolve along with the uses of the Internet and the challenges and threats on the Internet.

If Hargray didn’t manage its network, its Customers would be subject to the negative effects of spam, viruses, security attacks, network congestion, and other risks and degradations of service. By engaging in responsible network management, including enforcement of this AUP, Hargray can deliver the best possible broadband Internet experience to all of its Customers.

Please see Hargray’s Network Management Policy for more information.

A. Network Usage and Data Consumption Restrictions

You acknowledge that all of the Hargray Internet services are intended for periodic, active use of email, user newsgroups, transfers via FTP, Internet chat, Internet games, and browsing of the Internet. If you are a residential customer, the Broadband Service is for personal and non-commercial residential use only. You must comply with all current bandwidth, data storage, and other limitations on the Hargray Internet services that have been established by Hargray and Hargray suppliers. You agree not to intentionally use the Hargray Internet service on a standby or inactive basis in order to maintain a connection. The excessive use or abuse of Hargray’s network resources by one Customer may have a negative impact on all other Customers. Accordingly, in addition to the Prohibited Uses and Activities provided in Section I, you may not use the Hargray Internet service or take any action, directly or indirectly, that will result in excessive consumption or utilization of the system or network resources, or which may weaken network performance, as determined in Hargray’s sole discretion. Such prohibited actions include, but are not limited to: using the Hargray Internet Services to host a Web server site that attracts excessive traffic at your location; continuously uploading or downloading streaming video or audio; using net hosting; continuous FTP uploading or downloading; or acting in a manner that negatively affects other users’ ability to engage in real-time exchanges and use of the Hargray Internet Services.

The Broadband Service is for personal and non-commercial residential use only. Therefore, Hargray reserves the right to suspend or terminate Broadband Service accounts where data consumption is not characteristic of a typical residential user of the Broadband Service as determined by Hargray in its sole discretion.

Common activities that may cause excessive data consumption in violation of this AUP include, but are not limited to, numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high-capacity traffic using (i) file transfer protocol (“FTP”), (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and (iii) newsgroups. You must also ensure that your use of the Broadband Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, or degrade any other person’s use of the Broadband Service, nor represent (as determined by Hargray in its sole discretion) an overly large burden on the network. In addition, you must ensure that your use of the Broadband Service does not limit or interfere with Hargray’s ability to deliver and monitor the Broadband Service or any part of its network.

If you use the Broadband Service in violation of the restrictions referenced above, that is a violation of this AUP. In these cases, Hargray may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your Broadband Service account or request that you subscribe to a version of the Broadband Service (such as a commercial-grade Internet service, if appropriate) if you wish to continue to use the Broadband Service at higher data-consumption levels. Hargray may also provide versions of the Broadband Service with different speed and data-consumption limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Broadband Service plans.

Hargray’s determination of the data consumption for Broadband Service accounts is final.

IV. Violation of This AUP

Hargray reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate your Broadband Service account and terminate the Subscriber Agreement if you violate the terms of this AUP or the Subscriber Agreement.

Hargray does not routinely monitor the activity of individual Broadband Service accounts for violations of this AUP, except for determining aggregate data consumption in connection with the data consumption provisions of this AUP. However, in the company’s efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet community, it will respond appropriately if it becomes aware of inappropriate use of the Broadband Service. Hargray has no obligation to monitor the Broadband Service and/or the network. However, Hargray and its suppliers reserve the right at any time to monitor bandwidth, usage, transmissions, and content in order to, among other things, operate the Broadband Service, identify violations of this AUP, and/or protect the network, the Broadband Service, and Hargray users.

Hargray prefers to inform Customers of inappropriate activities and give them a reasonable period of time in which to take corrective action. Hargray also prefers to have Customers directly resolve any disputes or disagreements they may have with others, whether customers or not, without Hargray’s intervention. However, if the Broadband Service is used in a way that Hargray or its suppliers, in their sole discretion, believe violates this AUP, Hargray or its suppliers may take any responsive actions they deem appropriate under the circumstances with or without notice. These actions include, but are not limited to, temporary or permanent removal of content, cancellation of newsgroup posts, filtering of Internet transmissions, and the immediate suspension or termination of all or any portion of the Broadband Service (including but not limited to newsgroups). Neither Hargray nor its affiliates, suppliers, or agents will have any liability for any of these responsive actions. These actions are not Hargray’s exclusive remedies, and Hargray may take any other legal or technical actions it deems appropriate, with or without notice.

Hargray reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this AUP, including the gathering of information from the user or users involved and the complaining party, if any, and examination of material on Hargray’s servers and network. During an investigation, Hargray may suspend the account or accounts involved and/or remove or block material that potentially violates this AUP. You expressly authorize and consent to Hargray and its suppliers cooperating with (i) law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected legal violations, and (ii) and system administrators at other Internet service providers or other network or computing facilities in order to enforce this AUP. Upon termination of your Broadband Service account, Hargray is authorized to delete any files, programs, data, email, and other messages associated with your account (and any secondary accounts).

The failure of Hargray or its suppliers to enforce this AUP, 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 this AUP is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed consistent with applicable law as early as possible, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hargray and its affiliates, suppliers, and agents against all claims and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any violation of this AUP. Your indemnification will survive any termination of the Subscriber Agreement.

V. Redress and Governing Law

A. Arbitration

Any dispute or claim between you, the Customer, and Hargray arising out of or relating to the service provided in connection with this Acceptable Use Policy or the Subscriber Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration (“Arbitration”), unless otherwise specified in Customer’s individual Subscriber Agreement. To the extent that there is a conflict regarding this Arbitration provision, the Customer’s individual Subscriber Agreement supersedes the Terms and Policies of the individual Services.

The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents, and shall be final and binding. The parties agree that no arbitrator has the authority to (i) award relief in excess of what the Subscriber Agreement provides or (ii) award punitive or exemplary damages. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All claims shall be arbitrated individually, and Customer will not bring or join any class action of any kind in court or in arbitration or seek to consolidate or bring previously consolidated claims in Arbitration. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

B. Governing Law

The Agreement and the relationship between you and Hargray shall be governed by the laws of the state of South Carolina without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent court action is initiated to enforce an arbitration award or for any other reason consistent with the Arbitration provision herein, you and Hargray agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the state of South Carolina and waive any objection as to venue or inconvenient forum. The failure of Hargray to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this AUP or the Subscriber Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this AUP or the Subscriber Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this AUP or the Subscriber Agreement remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the service, this AUP or the Subscriber Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

VI. Copyright Information

Hargray’s subscribers (including account holders) may not upload, post, route, transmit, link, or otherwise make available on or via the Hargray Broadband Internet Service any material protected by copyright in a manner that infringes that copyright.  Subscribers should be aware that they may be legally liable for engaging in such activity.  In addition to the repeat infringer policy detailed below, Hargray residential subscribers who are alleged to have engaged in activity that may constitute copyright infringement will receive a notice alerting them each time that such activity has been detected in connection with their account, and requesting that they take steps to ensure that any infringement ceases immediately.  In response to allegations of copyright infringement against a subscriber that Hargray receives, Hargray will provide such subscriber with information about the alleged infringement and may ask that such subscriber acknowledge that he or she will cease any conduct that is infringing.  If the allegedly infringing activity continues and for repeated infringement, Hargray reserves the right to terminate service; however, the subscriber will be given advance notice prior to Hargray taking any such step.  The subscriber will also have the ability to challenge notices received. 

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), Hargray’s policy is to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the Hargray Broadband Internet Service of any subscriber who is a repeat infringer.  If you believe that in connection with the Hargray Broadband Internet Service, a Hargray subscriber has engaged in repeated infringement that includes your copyrighted materials, please provide our designated copyright agent (see below for more details) with information sufficient to show that the subscriber is a repeat copyright infringer and that appropriate circumstances exist for Hargray’s termination of such subscriber.

Termination of Service

Each subscriber agrees that, if he or she is terminated pursuant to this policy, he or she will not attempt to establish a new account with Hargray under any name, real or assumed, without Hargray’s permission.  Please note that not all services provided by Hargray limit usage to subscribers, and that Hargray is not able to terminate service usage by users who are not subscribers.

Reservation of Rights

These policies do not affect any other rights that Hargray may have under law or contract, and all such rights are expressly reserved by Hargray.

DMCA Notices

The DMCA provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.  Specifically, if you believe in good faith that material infringing your rights resides on the Hargray Broadband Internet Service by reason of storage at the direction of any user, or that such infringing material is at an online location that is referred or linked to via an information location tool (such as directory, index, reference, pointer, or hypertext) made available as part of the Hargray Broadband Internet Service, you (or your agent) may send to Hargray a notice requesting that Hargray remove the material or block access to it.  Notices should be sent to Hargray’s designated copyright agent (see below), and must meet the following requirements:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Hargray to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Hargray to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

DMCA Counter-Notices

If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly submitted to us a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice.  Counter-notices should be sent to Hargray’s designated copyright agent (see below), and must meet the following requirements:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
  4. The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person (or their agent) who provided notification of copyright infringement.
