The Hotline Connect software suite enables Server communities on personal
computers worldwide that combined, comprise the Hotline Network. Hotline
Communications cannot, and does not, monitor, track or control the activity or
content on Hotline Servers outside the Hotline Network, and as such, does not
guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such activity or content.
Hotline Communications does, however, extend the following Usage Policy to all
users, including those users on Servers outside the Hotline Network, as a guide
to personal conduct while on Hotline. We advise all Hotline users NOT to use
Hotline software to do the following: a. upload, post or otherwise transmit
Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous,
defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful,
or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable; b. harm minors in any way
(Server administrators who wish to share private material with Server visitors
are asked to use the Server's security features to limit Server access to
minors); c. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a
Hotline Communications representative, employee, guide or host, or falsely state
or otherwise misrepresent any affiliation with a person or entity; d. upload,
post or otherwise transmit any content without the express right to transmit
under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships, such as inside
information, proprietary and confidential information that is learned or
disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements;
e. upload, post or otherwise transmit any content that infringes any patent,
trademark, trade secret copyright or other proprietary rights of any party; f.
upload, post or otherwise transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising,
promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any
other form of solicitation, except in those areas (such as shopping areas) that
have been designated for such purposes; g. upload, post or otherwise transmit
any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or
programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any
computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; h. disrupt the
normal flow of dialogue, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects
other users' ability to engage in real time exchanges; i. interfere with or
disrupt the Hotline Service or Server Network connected to the Service, or
disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks
connected to the Service; j. intentionally or unintentionally violate any
applicable local, state, national or international law, including, but not
limited to, any rules of any national or other securities exchange, and any
regulations having the force of law; k. stalk or otherwise harass other users;
l. collect or store personal data about other users.
Hotline Communications has also implemented a number of measures to help
protect the rights, property, and personal safety of Hotline Communications, its
users and the public on the Hotline Network, including: Terms of Service: All
administrators of Servers listed on the Hotline Network are required to agree to
our Terms of Service before listing on our Network. Client License Agreement:
All users of the Hotline Client are required to agree to the terms outlined in
their Client License Agreement before downloading the Client software. Server
License Agreement: All users of the Hotline Server are required to agree to the
terms outlined in their Server License Agreement before downloading the Server
software. Room 222: Updated information and online discussions on political and
legal developments concerning the Internet are held regularly in Room 222 (IP
207.245.14.163.222), a Server on HLtracker.com. Please report any violations of
the Hotline Usage Policy and/or Terms of Service to pr@BigRedH.com. If possible,
please include the IP address of the offending Server and the approximate time,
date and details of the violation.
