Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that Digital Mouse Designs determines to be harmful to its clients, including but not limited to:

The responsibility for avoiding harmful activities described rests primarily with the client.

Privacy Issues

We are also concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. We urge our clients to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. We cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over our facilities.

We may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a client, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or governmental request. Digital Mouse Designs assumes no obligation to inform the client that client information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice.

Finally, we may disclose client information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect Digital Mouse Designs and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.
