Please refer to https:\/\/www.copyright.gov\/dmca-directory\/<\/a> information relating to the Service Provider\/Designated Agent Information pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C., Section 512(c).\u00a0 Seaborn does not have any liability to any party, including Users, for any violation of this AUP.<\/p>\n 2.2 Cooperation with Investigations.<\/strong>\u00a0 Seaborn will cooperate with legal authorities and third parties in the investigation of any alleged wrongdoing related to this AUP, including the disclosure of the identity of the User that Seaborn deems responsible for the wrongdoing.\u00a0 Seaborn will not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by any User, or any third party resulting in whole or in part from Seaborn’s exercise of its rights under this AUP.<\/p>\n 2.3 Filters and Service Information.<\/strong>\u00a0 Seaborn reserves the right to install and use, or to have User install and use, any appropriate devices to prevent violations of this AUP, including devices designed to filter or terminate access to the Service.\u00a0 By accepting and using the Service, Users consent to allowing Seaborn to collect service information and routing information in the normal course of our business, and to use such information for general business purposes.\u00a0 Users may not use the Service to monitor any data, information or communications on any network or system without authorization.<\/p>\n 2.4 Modifications to Policy.<\/strong>\u00a0 Seaborn reserves the right to modify this AUP in its discretion at any time with or without notice. Such modifications will be effective upon posting, and use of the Services after such modification constitutes acceptance of such modifications.<\/p>\n 3.1 Complaints.<\/strong>\u00a0 In most cases, Seaborn will notify Users of complaints received by Seaborn regarding an alleged violation of this AUP. Users are responsible for promptly investigating all such complaints and taking all necessary action to remedy any violations of this AUP. Seaborn may inform the complainant that User is investigating the complaint and may provide the complainant with the necessary information to contact User directly to resolve the complaint. In such event, User shall identify a representative for the purposes of receiving such communications.<\/p>\n 3.2 Configuration.<\/strong>\u00a0 Users are responsible for configuring their own systems to provide the maximum possible accountability. Seaborn shall not be liable for any damage caused by such system configurations regardless of whether such configurations have been authorized or requested by Seaborn. For example, Users should ensure there are clear “path” lines in news headers so that the originator of a post may be identified. Users should also configure their Mail Transport Agents (MTA) to authenticate (by look-up on the name or similar procedures) any system that connects to perform a mail exchange, and should generally present header data as clearly possible. As another example, Users should maintain logs of dynamically assigned IP addresses. Users are responsible for educating themselves and configuring their systems with at least basic security. Should systems at a User’s site be violated, User is responsible for reporting the violation to Seaborn and then fixing the exploited system. For instance, should a site be abused to distribute unlicensed software due to a poorly configured FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Server, the User is responsible for re-configuring the system to stop the abuse.<\/p>\n<\/b> 2.
