Acceptable Use Policy(AUP)

By using our Creative-Entropy services, you agree to comply with our policies. You are expected to use the Internet with respect, courtesy, and responsibility, giving due regard to the rights of other Internet users. We expect you to have a basic knowledge of how the Internet functions, the types of uses which are generally acceptable, and the types of uses which are to be avoided. Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable use. If you are not sure what is acceptable behaviour, aside from those listed below, please ask. Error on the side of caution rather than make our (and your) Internet experience difficult or unpleasant.

The following are unacceptable uses:

Illegality in any form, including but not limited to activities such as unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted software, violation of U.S. export restrictions, harassment, fraud, trafficking in obscene material, drug dealing, and other illegal activities.

Generally, conduct that violates law, regulation, or the accepted norms of the Internet community, whether or not expressly mentioned in this Policy, is prohibited. Creative-Entropy reserves the right at all times to prohibit activities that damage its commercial reputation and goodwill.
