as those who pay a service fee to subscribe to the Services, must comply
with this AUP and our TOS (Terms of Service).

the suspension to any and all accounts you have with us and that all rights
to and interest in and use of any domain name registration(s) services,

We support the uncensored flow of information and ideas over the Internet
and do not actively monitor subscriber activity under normal circumstances.
Similarly, we do not exercise editorial control over the content of any
web site, e-mail transmission, newsgroups, or other material created or
accessible over or through the services, except for certain proprietary
Web sites. However, in accordance with our TOS (Terms of Service),
we may remove any materials that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal,
may subject us to liability, or which may violate this AUP. Edish Network
may cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation
of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrongdoing. Your violation
of this AUP may result in the suspension or immediate termination of either
your Edish Network account or other actions as detailed in Section 3 WITHOUT
PRIOR NOTICE.
This document is intended to provide a basic understand of Edish Network's
Acceptable Use Policy. The following are guidelines for the establishment
and enforcement of Edish Network's AUP:
- Ensure reliable
service to our customers
- Ensure security
and privacy of our systems and network, as well as the networks and
systems of others
- Comply with existing
laws
- Maintain our
reputation as a responsible service provider
- Encourage responsible
use of the Internet and discourage activities which reduce the usability
and value of Internet services
- Preserve the
value of Internet resources as a conduit for free expression and exchange
of information
- Preserve the
privacy and security of individual users
The Edish Network
intends to provide its customers access to everything the Internet has to
offer. While the Edish Network is firmly committed to the principles of
free speech, certain activities that may be damaging to the resources of
both the Edish Network and the Internet and cannot be permitted under the
guise of free speech. The resources of the Edish Network and the Internet
are limited, and abuse of these resources by one user has a negative impact
on the entire community.
We do not routinely monitor the activity of accounts except for measurements
of system utilization and the preparation of billing records. However, in
our efforts to promote good citizenship within the Internet community, we
will respond appropriately if we become aware of inappropriate use of our
service.
You may not use your dedicated rack or virtual site to publish material,
which Edish Network determines, at its sole discretion, to be unlawful,
indecent or objectionable. For purposes of this policy, "material" refers
to all forms of communications including narrative descriptions, graphics
(including photographs, illustrations, images, drawings, logos), executable
programs, video recordings, and audio recordings.
If a Edish Network account is used to violate the Acceptable Use Policy
or our TOS, we reserve the right to terminate your service without notice.
We prefer to advise customers of inappropriate behavior and any necessary
corrective action, however, flagrant violations of the Acceptable Use Policy
will result in immediate termination of service. Our failure to enforce
this policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as a waiver of
our right to do so at any time.
DISPUTES. The customer agrees to be bound by the UDRP. If any dispute
arises the customer is responsible to protect his interests. The customer
accepts that Edish Network acts as accredited registrar and might be bound
to cancel a domain or to transfer it to a third party - according UDRP-regulations
- if the customer does not provide evidence within ten days after an Administrative
Panel's decision, that he has commenced a lawsuit against the complainant
in a Mutual Jurisdiction regarding the right to use the disputed domain
name. During a pending administrative proceeding or during a period of fifteen
(15) days after such proceeding is concluded or during a pending court proceeding
or arbitration commenced regarding the domain name the customer may not
transfer the domain name registration to a third party unless the third
party agrees, in writing, to be bound by the decision of the court or arbitrator.
Edish Network will not participate in any way in any dispute between you
and any party other than Edish Network regarding the Registration and use
of your Domain. You will not name Edish Network (BRS Media Inc.) as a party
or otherwise include Edish Network in any such proceeding. In the event
that Edish Network is named as a party in any such proceeding, Edish Network
reserves the right to raise any and all defenses deemed appropriate, and
to take any other action necessary to defend Edish Network.
RIGHT OF REFUSAL. We, in our sole discretion, reserve the right to
refuse to register your chosen domain name or register you for other Edish
Network service(s), or to delete your chosen domain name within the first
thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of your payment for such services.
In the event we do not register your chosen domain name or register you
for other Edish Network service(s), or we delete your chosen domain name
or other Edish Network service(s) within such thirty (30) calendar day period,
we agree to refund any applicable fee(s) you have paid. You agree that we
shall not be liable to you for loss or damages that may result from our
refusal to register your chosen domain name, the deletion of your chosen
domain name or refusal to register you for other Edish Network service(s).
As a member of our network community, you must use your Internet access
responsibly. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact
