Cybermoor Acceptable Use Agreement

Please print a copy of this agreement, read it carefully and keep it somewhere safe.

The Cybermoor website is a community website for permanent residents of Alston Moor, Cumbria and other members of Cybermoor Ltd. Most of the website is available to anyone, but some of the interactive and messaging services are only available to residents who are registered Cybermoor members. Residents are also given a free Cybermoor personal email account which can be accessed through the Cybermail button on the website service bar. This requires a further login to the mailserver, again for security purposes.

Any resident who is neither an owner of a Cybermoor computer nor a broadband subscriber, can apply for a website login by visiting the Cybermoor office.

Permanent residents of Alston Moor making use of a computer supplied by the Cybermoor project or accessing the Cybermoor community website must use these facilities responsibly and with sensitivity to others. By signing this agreement you and members of your household are making a promise to do this.

Do not let anyone else use your login name and password to access the Cybermoor website.

You and members of your household should use at all times use the website with respect to others in the community. Do not send email to any person who does not wish to receive it. If the recipient asks to stop receiving email, you and your household member must stop sending email to that person. Harassment through language, frequency or size of communication is prohibited.

You and members of your household should not attempt to access restricted information which is not intended for you.

To ensure that the above conditions are complied with, connections to the website will be recorded. If it is suspected that someone is contravening the Cybermoor Acceptable Use Agreement described here, that person's usage of the website will be monitored and if found to be unacceptable to Cybermoor Ltd, further access to the Cybermoor website will be denied.

For research purposes, records will be kept to identify general patterns of website usage, e.g. number of people using the local information services, number of people logging on per week, etc. Research data will not be kept on any individual's usage of the website. By signing this agreement you accept that Cybermoor Ltd will conduct anonymous statistical research about Cybermoor website usage.
