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:
