Acceptable Use
This Policy describes the types of uses of our Website and Email which are contrary to our values and objectives and which are, therefore, prohibited. To achieve our objectives, we may, in our sole discretion determine whether a use of the Website or Email is a violation of this Policy. While it is not our intent to monitor, control or censor communications on our platforms, when we become aware of a violation of this Policy, we may take such action as we deem appropriate to address the violation, as noted below.
This Policy applies to all users of our services, and systems.
Prohibited Uses
Uses of the our systems described below are prohibited under this Policy. These descriptions are guidelines and are not intended to be exhaustive.
Illegal/Criminal Activity
Our systems may not be used in connection with criminal or civil violations of state, federal or international laws, regulations or other government requirements. Such violations include theft or infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other types of intellectual property; fraud; forgery; theft or misappropriation of funds, credit cards or personal information; and threats of physical harm or harassment.
Security Violations
Our systems may not be used in connection with attempts—whether or not successful—to violate the security of a network, service or other system. Examples of prohibited activities include hacking, cracking into, monitoring or using systems without authorization; scanning ports; conducting denial of service attacks; and distributing viruses or other harmful software.
Users are responsible for maintaining the basic security of their systems to prevent their use by others in a manner that violates this Policy. Examples include improperly securing a mail server so that it may be used by others to distribute spam and improperly securing an FTP server so that it may be used by others to illegally distribute licensed software. Customers are responsible for taking corrective actions on vulnerable or exploited systems to prevent continued abuse.
Threats
Our systems may not be used to transmit materials of a threatening nature, including threats of death or physical harm, harassment, libel and defamation.
Offensive Materials
Our systems may not be used for the distribution of offensive materials, including obscene, pornographic, indecent and hateful materials.
Spam is an unacceptable use of our systems. Spam includes any of the following activities:
Posting a single message, or messages similar in content, to more than five online forums or newsgroups.
Posting messages to online forums or newsgroups that violate the rules of the forums or newsgroups.
Sending email that may be considered to be harassing.
Emails with forged packet header information.
Collecting the responses from unsolicited email.
Sending any unsolicited email that could be expected, in our discretion, to provoke complaints.
Sending email with charity requests, petitions for signatures or any chain mail related materials.
Sending unsolicited email without identifying in the email a clear and easy means to be excluded from receiving additional email from the originator of the email.
Sending email that does not accurately identify the sender, the sender’s return address and the email address of origin.
Using our systems to violate Internet Service Provider’s acceptable use policy and/or terms of service.
Sending email after the user has asked to be removed from the mailing list.
Violations
Violations of this Policy may result in a demand for immediate removal of offending material, immediate temporary or permanent filtering, blocked access, suspension or termination of service, or other action appropriate to the violation, as determined by The Oroville Senior Center in its sole discretion. When feasible, it is our preference to give notice so that violations may be addressed voluntarily; however, we reserve the right to act without notice when necessary, as determined in our sole discretion. We may involve, and will cooperate with, law enforcement if criminal activity is suspected. Violators may also be subject to civil or criminal liability under applicable law.
Incident Reporting
Any complaints regarding violations of this Policy by auser should be directed to info@orovilleseniorcenter.com. Where possible, include details that would assist us in investigating and resolving the complaint (e.g., a copy of the offending materials).
Revisions to This Policy
Our policies are subject to change without notice. Our users are bound by the most recent policies that are posted online and available for download at any time. Please visit this page for the most recent version.
