Acceptable Use Policy

When users disseminate information from the Internet, they must keep in mind that ilovemahj.com does not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information its users may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation and other harmful speech. Also, because the information created is carried over ilovemahj.com's network and may reach a large number of people, including both users and non-users of ilovemahj.com, users' postings to the Internet may affect other users and may affect ilovemahj.com's goodwill, business, reputation or operations.

For these reasons, users violate ilovemahj.com policy and the Service Agreement when they engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming

Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information repeatedly through ilovemahj.com's messaging system or repeatedly submitting similar posts to the system. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on attitudes toward ilovemahj.com, but also because it can overload ilovemahj.com's network and disrupt service to ilovemahj.com's users. When a complaint is received, ilovemahj.com will investigate and shutdown the account that is SPAMing. Furthermore ilovemahj.com reserves the right to prosecute for this violation.

Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Accounts

Accessing, illegally or without authorization, accounts belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual's account (often known as "hacking"). Also, any activity that may be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e., port scan, stealth scan or other information-gathering activity).

Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses or Other Destructive Activities

Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing or denial of service attacks.

ilovemahj.com will not intentionally monitor private messages sent or receive by its users, unless required to do so by law, governmental authority or when public safety is at stake. ilovemahj.com may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, ilovemahj.com may disclose information, including, but not limited to, information concerning a users, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation or governmental request. ilovemahj.com assumes no obligation to inform the user that user information has been provided and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, ilovemahj.com may disclose user information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect ilovemahj.com and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.
