Acceptable Use Policy
The Internet Free
Planet, Inc. (IFP) Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is
intended to help enhance the use of the wireless
Internet by preventing unacceptable use. All users of
IFP’s Internet services (the "Services")-those who
access some of our Services but do not have accounts
("Visitors"), as well as those who pay a monthly service
fee to subscribe to the Services ("Members")-must comply
with this AUP. We support the free flow of information
and ideas over the Internet and do not actively monitor
use of the Services under normal circumstances.
Similarly, we do not exercise editorial control over the
content of any Web site, electronic mail transmission,
news group, or other material created or accessible over
or through the Services, except for certain proprietary
websites. However, in accordance with our Internet
Service Agreement, we may remove any materials that, in
our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject us to
liability, or which may violate this AUP. IFP may
cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in
the investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or
civil wrong. Your violation of this AUP may result in
the suspension or termination of either your access to
the Services and/or your IFP account or other actions as
detailed in Section 3. This AUP should be read in
conjunction with our Internet Service Agreement and
other policies.
