Acceptable Use Policy

In order to protect the interests and assets of RayYourDJ and its customers, RayYourDJ has developed an Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which is intended as a guide to a customer's rights and obligations when utilizing RayYourDJ.com services. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer's use of RayYourDJ.com services after changes to the AUP are posted on RayYourDJ.com's web site, www.rayyourdj.com, will constitute the customer's acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.

One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet's openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers and or users obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that RayYourDJ.com cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber or user must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because RayYourDJ.com cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, RayYourDJ.com cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers or users that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.

When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that RayYourDJ.com does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its subscribers 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 they create is carried over the RayYourDJ.com network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and nonsubscribers of RayYourDJ, subscribers' postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may harm RayYourDJ.com's goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, subscribers who violate RayYourDJ.com's policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:

Spamming

It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward RayYourDj.com, but also because it can overload RayYourDJ.com's network and disrupt service to RayYourDJ.com subscribers and or users. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, RayYourDJ.com has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an "opt-in" email list.

Running "Spamvertised" Services
Running web sites, and/or online services that are promoted through the sending of unsolicited bulk and/or commercial email messages, or by commercial posting to Usenet newsgroups and/or web forums and/or chat channels, regardless of the network origin of such promotion. This is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward RayYourDJ.com, but also because the repurcussions of "Spamvertising" can overload RayYourDJ.com's network and human resources, and can disrupt service to RayYourDJ.com subscribers and or users.
