iTOOLS MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT AND ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
This iTools membership agreement and acceptable use policy (the
"agreement" or the "AUP") provides important information about your
iTools membership, so you should take the time to read and understand
it. You may review, save or print any part of this agreement. We
encourage you to print out a copy of this entire document and refer to
it as you use iTools.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST DO SO AS IT
IS PRESENTED TO YOU -- NO CHANGES (ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS) WILL BE
ACCEPTED BY APPLE.
Apple may change, add or remove any part of this agreement at any time.
If it does so, Apple will post such changes on the iTools site. IF ANY
FUTURE CHANGES ARE UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU SHOULD DISCONTINUE USING
YOUR iTOOLS ACCOUNT. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF iTOOLS NOW, OR FOLLOWING THE
POSTING OF NOTICE OF ANY SUCH CHANGES, WILL INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY SUCH CHANGES.
* BECOMING AN iTOOLS MEMBER
To become an iTools member, you must be at least 13 years old. If you
are not yet 13 years old, you may still use iTools, but only if the
account you are using was created and registered by your parent or legal
guardian.
This agreement is a legal document that sets forth your rights and
obligations as an iTools member. You cannot become an iTools member
until you have accepted the terms of this agreement. You, as an iTools
member, must abide by the terms of this agreement. Your iTools
membership is also subject to Apple's corporate Privacy Policy. This
applies to this agreement and the Privacy Policy as they currently exist
and as they may be revised from time to time by Apple.
When you accept this agreement and complete the iTools registration
process, you become the account holder. As an iTools member, Apple
provides you with a limited, non-exclusive license for no more than the
term of your membership to use the member name and password provided to
you for your account. Your member name is your on-line identity. Do not
reveal your password to other users. Your account is at risk if you let
someone use it inappropriately.
* AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE
While Apple will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that iTools is
available at all times, Apple does not guarantee, represent or warrant
that iTools services will be uninterrupted or error-free, and Apple does
not guarantee that members will be able to access or use all the iTools
features at all times.
Apple may change, suspend or discontinue any (or all) aspects of iTools
at any time, including the availability of any iTools feature or
content. Apple may also impose limits on the use of or access to certain
features or portions of iTools, including a charge for or imposition of
a subscription or other fee for use of iTools or any part or feature of
iTools, or restrict your access to any part or all of iTools, in all
cases without notice or liability.
Apple also does not guarantee or warrant that any content or data you
may have in your account at iTools will not be subject to inadvertent
damage, corruption or destruction. You are responsible for backing up,
on your own computer, any important documents, images or other content
-- Apple will not be responsible for any archiving or back-up of any
such information. If any data, messages, images or other content in your
account and stored on the iTools system is damaged, lost or corrupted in
any way, Apple will have no obligation or liability to you.
* ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY GUIDELINES
Apple encourages iTools members to participate in the on-line world to
express their views and benefit from the interactive experience.
However, it is important to remember that there are rules and standards
that you must abide by as an iTools member. These rules and standards
are described in this agreement. As an iTools member, you agree to
comply with this agreement, and you acknowledge that Apple has the right
to enforce this agreement in its sole discretion. This means that if
you, or anyone using your member privileges, violate the terms of this
agreement, Apple may take any and all appropriate actions -- this can
range from the issuance of a warning about a violation to the
termination of your membership privileges in iTools -- as Apple deems
necessary or appropriate. Apple is not required to provide notice prior
to terminating your iTools membership for violating these rules and
standards, but it may choose to do so.
You are solely responsible for your conduct while using iTools,
including the content of all email messages you generate or forward, and
all content in any folders, home pages or other transmissions,
information, images or other interactions you generate, transmit or
maintain on or through iTools. Apple takes no responsibility for any
such on-line distribution or publication by you. Apple cannot and will
not review every message or other content you may generate or post, and
Apple is not responsible for the content of those messages or content.
Apple reserves the right to delete, move or edit any such item that
Apple, in its sole discretion, deems abusive, defamatory, obscene, in
violation of copyright or trademark laws, or otherwise illegal,
inappropriate or unacceptable, including any material Apple believes may
cause any liability for it or which may cause Apple to lose the services
of any supplier, including but not limited to any Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) which may provide services to iTools members.
A user's conduct in the iTools space should conform to the requirements
of the law, respect for the rights of other users of iTools, and current
standards for communicating on-line. By your use of iTools, you agree to
use appropriate conduct and language when you are on line -- this
includes following the rules of any ISP, any other on-line services,
this agreement and all applicable state, local and federal laws
(including foreign or international law where appropriate).
Apple reserves the right to terminate your account or suspend iTools
services to you at any time, with cause or without cause, in the event
of any breach of this agreement, your infringement of Apple's or iTools'
or others' content, or any other circumstances which, in Apple's sole
discretion, merit termination or suspension.
Inappropriate conduct falls into a number of categories. The more
commonly understood categories are discussed below, although this list
is not exclusive.
* Illegal Conduct.
iTools may be used only for lawful purposes. The laws that apply in the
off-line world must be obeyed on-line as well. Posting, transmitting,
promoting, using, distributing or storing Content in violation of any
applicable law or regulation is prohibited. "Content" means the text,
software, communications, images, sounds, and all other information and
materials you encounter or generate on-line on the Internet, including
material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other
intellectual property rights, and material that is obscene, defamatory,
constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws.
Examples of prohibited illegal conduct are:
* Posting obscene content (including child pornography)
* Planning illegal activity, such as building a bomb or counterfeiting
money
* Advertising a lottery, ammunition, firearms, tobacco, alcohol, illegal
drugs and drug-related paraphernalia
* Pretending to be anyone you are not -- you may not impersonate another
person (including celebrities), another iTools Member, an Apple
employee, or a civic or government leader
* Using false statements to get, or to attempt to get, account
information or other private information from other iTools members or
Internet users
* Engaging in copyright infringement or other intellectual property
infringement
If you believe that illegal Content is being transmitted through any
iTools service, you may report it by filling out the abuse reporting
form located in the "ContactUs" section of the iTools Help system.
Apple reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement authorities,
including complying with warrants, court orders and subpoenas. If Apple
decides to investigate or resolve possible misuse involving you or
anything you do on iTools, Apple is entitled to disclose any information
about you and anything you do with iTools to law enforcement or other
government officials, as Apple, in its sole discretion, believes to be
necessary or appropriate. By your use of iTools, you authorize Apple to
take any such actions.
* Objectionable Conduct and Content
It is essential that all Content on iTools reflect the provisions of
this agreement. Apple reserves the right to remove Content if we become
aware of any content in any iTools area which, in our judgment, does not
conform to this agreement. You may receive a warning about the violation
of this agreement if your iTools account was responsible for putting
objectionable Content on-line. At all times, Apple reserves the right to
terminate the accounts of iTools members who violate this AUP.
Examples of objectionable conduct and Content that violate the iTools
acceptable use policy are:
* Harassing, threatening, or embarrassing another iTools or Internet
user
* Stalking another iTools or Internet user ("cyberstalking")
* Transmitting or facilitating distribution of Content that is harmful,
abusive, violent, racially or ethnically offensive, lewd, vulgar or (in
a reasonable person's view) objectionable
* If you are an adult, requesting personal or other information from a
minor (any person under the age of 18) who is not personally known to
you, including but not limited to any of the following: full name or
last name, home address, zip code, telephone number, picture, or the
names of the minor's school, church, athletic team or friends
* Posting Content that defames, abuses or threatens physical harm to
others or yourself
Please remember that these are only guidelines; there are always "gray
areas." Ask yourself if your communication is something that you would
say in a room full of people you never met, or in the workplace.
However, Apple reserves the right to make the final determination about
whether Content is objectionable or not.
If you encounter something you find inappropriate, you may report it by
filling out the abuse reporting form located in the "ContactUs" section
of the iTools Help system.
* Copyright and Intellectual Property Infringement
Much of the Content available through iTools is owned by others, and is
protected by copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity and other
intellectual property rights. Before you upload or download any Content
while using iTools, make sure you have been given the legal right to do
so by the owner of the content. The Mac OS X Software folder on iDisk
contains third-party software, which has been licensed by the developers
thereof to Apple. You may download and use this software for your own
personal use, subject to any rights retained by the developers.
* You must not copy, transmit, modify, distribute, show in public or in
private or create any derivative works from any of the Content you find
through iTools, unless you have the legal right to do so; and
* You must not make available serial numbers for software for the
purpose of illegally validating or registering software.
Making unauthorized copies of any Content can lead to the termination of
your access to iTools and may even subject you to legal action. In
addition, the owner of the Content may take criminal or civil action
against you. If a Content owner takes legal action against Apple because
of your unauthorized use of Content, you agree to hold harmless and
indemnify Apple, its subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies,
employees, officers, directors, agents and suppliers against any
liability, claims, or demands, including the costs of Apple hiring
attorneys to defend against the action.
By submitting or posting Content on areas of iTools accessible by the
public, you are representing that you are the owner of such material or
have authorization to distribute it. You hereby grant Apple a worldwide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and
publish any such public area Content solely for the purpose of
displaying, distributing and promoting the area on which such content is
posted. Said license will be in effect only as long as you are an iTools
member, and will terminate upon removal of such Content from the public
area or when you are no longer an iTools member, whichever happens
first.
If you believe that any Content in which you claim copyright has been
infringed by anyone using iTools, please contact Apple's agent (see
below), and provide the following information, as required by the Online
Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512):
* A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
* Identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed,
or (if multiple copyrighted works at a single on-line site are covered
by a single notification) a representative list of such works at that
site;
* Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to
be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or
access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient
to permit Apple to locate the material;
* Information reasonably sufficient to permit Apple to contact the
complaining party;
* A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that
use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
* A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under
penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Apple's copyright agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement
on or regarding iTools can be reached as follows:

(202) 857-6395 Email: avlupo@arentfox.com
* Violations of System and Network Security
Violations of system and network security are prohibited, and may result
in criminal and civil liability. Apple will investigate incidents
involving such violations and may involve and will report any suspected
criminal activity to and cooperate with law enforcement. Examples of
system and network security violations include the following:
* Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including
any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or
network or to breach security or authentication measures without the
express authorization of the owner of the system or network
* Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system
without the express authorization of the owner of the system or network
* Interference with service to any user, host or network including,
without limitation, mailbombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to
overload a system and broadcast attacks
* Falsifying your user identity or providing other false information to
Apple or to other users of iTools in connection with your use of iTools
or any feature of iTools
* Posting viruses or software designed to create a virus or to do harm
to iTools, any iTools Members or users of iTools, or any network
* Taking any other action to disrupt the normal use of iTools or the
Internet by other users
* Use of software that allows your account to stay logged on while you
are not actively using the account.
* Unsolicited E-Mail ("Spamming" and "Mailbombing")
This agreement prohibits abuse of iTools' e-mail and related
functionalities. Some specific examples of prohibited actions are as
follows:
* Sending unsolicited bulk email messages including, without limitation,
bulk commercial advertising and informational announcements ("bulk" is
defined as sending the same or substantially similar messages to more
than 400 e-mail users in a single day, sending more than 200 individual
pieces of email in a day, or sending one email to more than 50
recipients at once)
* Using information collected from any iTools user or iTools Member
directory or any other area of iTools for the purpose of sending
unsolicited bulk e-mail
* Posting the same or similar messages to one or more Usenet or other
news groups, forums, or e-mail mailing lists (excessive cross-posting or
multiple-posting) ("excessive" includes posting the same or
substantially similar messages to ten (10) or more groups in a single
day)
* Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header
information in an e-mail or a news group posting, or otherwise putting
information in the header designed to mislead recipients as to the
origin of the message
* Using another site's mail server to relay mail without the express
permission of the other site
* Engaging in any of the foregoing activities by using the services of
another provider, but channeling such activities through an iTools
account, remailer, or otherwise through any feature of iTools, or using
an iTools account as a mail drop for responses, or otherwise using the
services of another provider for the purpose of facilitating the
foregoing activities
* Exceeding Account Limitations
iTools has been designed primarily for personal use. We do not intend
that iTools will be used to host e-commerce businesses in their
marketing, promotions and sales over the Internet. We also do not intend
that iTools accounts will be used for FTP access and downloading. iTools
accounts are limited in terms of the bandwidth for network traffic and
disk utilization for storage allocated to them. Your iDisk account usage
is limited to 20 MB and your email account may not exceed 5 MB.
Exceeding the applicable limitations is prohibited.
In addition to the iTools account limitations on bandwidth and disk
utilization, certain commercial or business uses are prohibited,
including the following:
* Soliciting for advertisers or sponsors
* Posting sponsorships and third-party advertisements and banners
* Sending unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or commercial
solicitations to third parties
* Reselling, renting or subleasing iTools space under any circumstance
* Using or providing to any third person or entity, whether or not for a
fee, any directory of iTools Members other than for personal,
non-commercial purposes
* Disseminating multi-level marketing schemes, pyramid schemes, or
commercial chain letters
* INVESTIGATIONS
Apple reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this
iTools agreement. When Apple becomes aware of possible violations, Apple
may initiate an investigation, which may include gathering information
from any iTools member involved and the complaining party, if any, and
the examination of Content stored on the iTools system.
During the investigation, Apple may suspend or terminate any or all
iTools member accounts involved and/or remove the Content involved from
its computers. If Apple believes, in its sole discretion, that a
violation of this agreement has occurred, it may take responsive action,
including but not limited to permanent removal of illegal or
inappropriate Content from the iTools system, warnings to the iTools
member(s), and the suspension or termination of the account or accounts
responsible.
If, as a result of any such investigation, Apple believes that any
criminal activity has occurred, Apple reserves the right to refer the
matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all appropriate law
enforcement authorities.
BY BECOMING AN iTOOLS MEMBER, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE
AGAINST APPLE, AND TO HOLD APPLE HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY APPLE WITH
RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS, RELATING TO ANY ACTION TAKEN BY APPLE AS PART OF
ITS INVESTIGATION OF A SUSPECTED VIOLATION OF THIS AGREMENT OR AS A
RESULT OF ITS FINDING OR DECISION THAT A VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS
OCCURRED. THIS MEANS THAT YOU CANNOT SUE APPLE OR RECOVER ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER FROM APPLE AS A RESULT OF ITS DECISION TO REMOVE MATERIAL
FROM THE iTOOLS SYSTEM, TO WARN YOU, TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR iTOOLS
ACCOUNT, OR TO TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION DURING THE INVESTIGATION OF A
SUSPECTED VIOLATION OR AS A RESULT OF APPLE'S CONCLUSION THAT A
VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS OCCURRED. THIS WAIVER AND INDEMNITY
PROVISION APPLIES TO ALL VIOLATIONS DESCRIBED IN OR CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT.
* SOFTWARE LICENSES
If you access iTools through downloaded software or a CD-ROM, then these
provisions relating to software licenses apply to you. Nothing in these
provisions, however, supersedes any terms of any end-user license for
software provided with your computer.
Apple provides you with a limited license to use the software providing
access to iTools, which you agree to use in accordance with these rules.
You may not sublicense, or charge others to use or access, this
software. Apple will occasionally provide automatic upgrades to improve
your on-line experience.
Apple grants to you a non-exclusive, limited license to use the software
designed to provide access to iTools for the sole purpose of connecting
you to iTools. This license is subject to the restriction that, except
where expressly permitted by law, you may not translate,
reverse-engineer or reverse-compile or decompile, disassemble or make
derivative works from the software. You may not modify the software or
use it in any way not expressly authorized by this agreement. You
understand that Apple's introduction of various technologies may not be
consistent across all platforms and that the performance and some iTools
features may vary depending on your computer and systems and other
equipment.
* DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE iTOOLS
SERVICES ARE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. iTOOLS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND
"AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BECAUSE
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE
ABOVE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
APPLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE OR
OTHER MATERIAL ACCESSIBLE THROUGH iTOOLS WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES,
"WORMS", "TROJAN HORSES", OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. APPLE'S ENTIRE
LIABILITY AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF
ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY iTOOLS SHALL BE CANCELLATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT.
IN NO CASE SHALL APPLE, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES,
AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF iTOOLS OR FOR
ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR iTOOLS MEMBERSHIP. BECAUSE
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH
STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, APPLE'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN iTOOLS, APPLE DOES NOT ENDORSE, WARRANT
OR GUARANTEE ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH iTOOLS
AND WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING
ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTIES THROUGH iTOOLS. YOU
HEREBY RELEASE APPLE FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITY AND CLAIMS
IN EXCESS OF THESE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS.
* NOTICES
Apple may give notice to any iTools member by sending an e-mail message
to the member's mailbox or by sending a letter via postal mail to the
contact address listed in the member's iTools registration. iTools
members may contact Apple by filling out the "Comments and Ideas" form
in the "ContactUs" section of the iTools Help system.
* EXPORT CONTROLS
You agree to abide by U.S. and other applicable export control laws and
not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any Content or
software subject to restrictions under such laws to a destination
prohibited under such laws, without first obtaining, and then complying
with, any requisite government authorization. You further agree not to
upload to your iTools account any data or software that cannot be
exported without prior written government authorization, including, but
not limited to, certain types of encryption software. This assurance and
commitment shall survive termination of this agreement.
* LEGAL PRINCIPLES
With respect to iTools, this agreement represents your entire agreement
with Apple. You agree that this agreement is not intended to confer and
does not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you,
as an iTools member, and Apple.
If any part of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that
portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to
reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties,
and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. The
laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules,
govern this agreement and your iTools membership. Member conduct may be
subject to other local, state, national, and international laws. You
expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute
with Apple regarding iTools or relating in any way to your membership or
your use of iTools resides in the courts of the State of California. You
further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal
jurisdiction in the California courts in connection with any such
dispute, including any claim involving Apple or its affiliates,
subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors,
telecommunication providers and content providers with respect to
iTools.
Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California iTools members

account and stored on the iTools system is damaged, lost or corrupted in
any way, Apple will have no obligation or liability to you.
* ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY GUIDELINES
Apple encourages iTools members to participate in the on-line world to
express their views and benefit from the interactive experience.
However, it is important to remember that there are rules and standards
that you must abide by as an iTools member. These rules and standards
are described in this agreement. As an iTools member, you agree to
comply with this agreement, and you acknowledge that Apple has the right
to enforce this agreement in its sole discretion. This means that if
you, or anyone using your member privileges, violate the terms of this
agreement, Apple may take any and all appropriate actions -- this can
range from the issuance of a warning about a violation to the
termination of your membership privileges in iTools -- as Apple deems
necessary or appropriate. Apple is not required to provide notice prior
to terminating your iTools membership for violating these rules and
standards, but it may choose to do so.
You are solely responsible for your conduct while using iTools,
including the content of all email messages you generate or forward, and
all content in any folders, home pages or other transmissions,
information, images or other interactions you generate, transmit or
maintain on or through iTools. Apple takes no responsibility for any
such on-line distribution or publication by you. Apple cannot and will
not review every message or other content you may generate or post, and
Apple is not responsible for the content of those messages or content.
Apple reserves the right to delete, move or edit any such item that
Apple, in its sole discretion, deems abusive, defamatory, obscene, in
violation of copyright or trademark laws, or otherwise illegal,
inappropriate or unacceptable, including any material Apple believes may
cause any liability for it or which may cause Apple to lose the services
of any supplier, including but not limited to any Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) which may provide services to iTools members.
A user's conduct in the iTools space should conform to the requirements
of the law, respect for the rights of other users of iTools, and current

this agreement and all applicable state, local and federal laws
(including foreign or international law where appropriate).
Apple reserves the right to terminate your account or suspend iTools
services to you at any time, with cause or without cause, in the event
of any breach of this agreement, your infringement of Apple's or iTools'
or others' content, or any other circumstances which, in Apple's sole
discretion, merit termination or suspension.
Inappropriate conduct falls into a number of categories. The more
commonly understood categories are discussed below, although this list
is not exclusive.
* Illegal Conduct.
iTools may be used only for lawful purposes. The laws that apply in the
off-line world must be obeyed on-line as well. Posting, transmitting,
promoting, using, distributing or storing Content in violation of any
applicable law or regulation is prohibited. "Content" means the text,
software, communications, images, sounds, and all other information and
materials you encounter or generate on-line on the Internet, including
material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret or other
intellectual property rights, and material that is obscene, defamatory,
constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws.
Examples of prohibited illegal conduct are:
* Posting obscene content (including child pornography)
* Planning illegal activity, such as building a bomb or counterfeiting
money
* Advertising a lottery, ammunition, firearms, tobacco, alcohol, illegal
drugs and drug-related paraphernalia
* Pretending to be anyone you are not -- you may not impersonate another
person (including celebrities), another iTools Member, an Apple
employee, or a civic or government leader
* Using false statements to get, or to attempt to get, account
information or other private information from other iTools members or
Internet users
* Engaging in copyright infringement or other intellectual property
infringement
If you believe that illegal Content is being transmitted through any
iTools service, you may report it by filling out the abuse reporting
form located in the "ContactUs" section of the iTools Help system.
Apple reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement authorities,
including complying with warrants, court orders and subpoenas. If Apple
decides to investigate or resolve possible misuse involving you or
anything you do on iTools, Apple is entitled to disclose any information
about you and anything you do with iTools to law enforcement or other
government officials, as Apple, in its sole discretion, believes to be
necessary or appropriate. By your use of iTools, you authorize Apple to
take any such actions.
* Objectionable Conduct and Content
It is essential that all Content on iTools reflect the provisions of
this agreement. Apple reserves the right to remove Content if we become
aware of any content in any iTools area which, in our judgment, does not
conform to this agreement. You may receive a warning about the violation
of this agreement if your iTools account was responsible for putting
objectionable Content on-line. At all times, Apple reserves the right to
terminate the accounts of iTools members who violate this AUP.
Examples of objectionable conduct and Content that violate the iTools
acceptable use policy are:
* Harassing, threatening, or embarrassing another iTools or Internet
user
* Stalking another iTools or Internet user ("cyberstalking")
* Transmitting or facilitating distribution of Content that is harmful,
abusive, violent, racially or ethnically offensive, lewd, vulgar or (in
a reasonable person's view) objectionable
* If you are an adult, requesting personal or other information from a
minor (any person under the age of 18) who is not personally known to
you, including but not limited to any of the following: full name or
last name, home address, zip code, telephone number, picture, or the
names of the minor's school, church, athletic team or friends
* Posting Content that defames, abuses or threatens physical harm to
others or yourself
Please remember that these are only guidelines; there are always "gray
areas." Ask yourself if your communication is something that you would
say in a room full of people you never met, or in the workplace.
However, Apple reserves the right to make the final determination about
whether Content is objectionable or not.
If you encounter something you find inappropriate, you may report it by
filling out the abuse reporting form located in the "ContactUs" section
of the iTools Help system.
* Copyright and Intellectual Property Infringement
Much of the Content available through iTools is owned by others, and is
protected by copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity and other
intellectual property rights. Before you upload or download any Content
while using iTools, make sure you have been given the legal right to do
so by the owner of the content. The Mac OS X Software folder on iDisk
contains third-party software, which has been licensed by the developers
thereof to Apple. You may download and use this software for your own
personal use, subject to any rights retained by the developers.
* You must not copy, transmit, modify, distribute, show in public or in
private or create any derivative works from any of the Content you find
through iTools, unless you have the legal right to do so; and
* You must not make available serial numbers for software for the
purpose of illegally validating or registering software.
Making unauthorized copies of any Content can lead to the termination of
your access to iTools and may even subject you to legal action. In
addition, the owner of the Content may take criminal or civil action
against you. If a Content owner takes legal action against Apple because
of your unauthorized use of Content, you agree to hold harmless and
indemnify Apple, its subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies,
employees, officers, directors, agents and suppliers against any
liability, claims, or demands, including the costs of Apple hiring
attorneys to defend against the action.
By submitting or posting Content on areas of iTools accessible by the
public, you are representing that you are the owner of such material or
have authorization to distribute it. You hereby grant Apple a worldwide,
royalty-free, non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and
publish any such public area Content solely for the purpose of
displaying, distributing and promoting the area on which such content is
posted. Said license will be in effect only as long as you are an iTools
member, and will terminate upon removal of such Content from the public
area or when you are no longer an iTools member, whichever happens
first.
If you believe that any Content in which you claim copyright has been
infringed by anyone using iTools, please contact Apple's agent (see
below), and provide the following information, as required by the Online
Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512):
* A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
* Identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed,
or (if multiple copyrighted works at a single on-line site are covered
by a single notification) a representative list of such works at that
site;
* Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to
be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or
access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient
to permit Apple to locate the material;
* Information reasonably sufficient to permit Apple to contact the
complaining party;
* A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that
use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
* A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under
penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

* Violations of System and Network Security
Violations of system and network security are prohibited, and may result
in criminal and civil liability. Apple will investigate incidents
involving such violations and may involve and will report any suspected
criminal activity to and cooperate with law enforcement. Examples of
system and network security violations include the following:
* Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including
any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or
network or to breach security or authentication measures without the
express authorization of the owner of the system or network
* Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system
without the express authorization of the owner of the system or network
* Interference with service to any user, host or network including,
without limitation, mailbombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to
overload a system and broadcast attacks
* Falsifying your user identity or providing other false information to
Apple or to other users of iTools in connection with your use of iTools
or any feature of iTools
* Posting viruses or software designed to create a virus or to do harm
to iTools, any iTools Members or users of iTools, or any network
* Taking any other action to disrupt the normal use of iTools or the
Internet by other users
* Use of software that allows your account to stay logged on while you
are not actively using the account.
* Unsolicited E-Mail ("Spamming" and "Mailbombing")
This agreement prohibits abuse of iTools' e-mail and related
functionalities. Some specific examples of prohibited actions are as
follows:
* Sending unsolicited bulk email messages including, without limitation,
bulk commercial advertising and informational announcements ("bulk" is
defined as sending the same or substantially similar messages to more
than 400 e-mail users in a single day, sending more than 200 individual
pieces of email in a day, or sending one email to more than 50
recipients at once)
* Using information collected from any iTools user or iTools Member
directory or any other area of iTools for the purpose of sending
unsolicited bulk e-mail
* Posting the same or similar messages to one or more Usenet or other
news groups, forums, or e-mail mailing lists (excessive cross-posting or
multiple-posting) ("excessive" includes posting the same or
substantially similar messages to ten (10) or more groups in a single
day)
* Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header
information in an e-mail or a news group posting, or otherwise putting
information in the header designed to mislead recipients as to the
origin of the message
* Using another site's mail server to relay mail without the express
permission of the other site
* Engaging in any of the foregoing activities by using the services of
another provider, but channeling such activities through an iTools
account, remailer, or otherwise through any feature of iTools, or using
an iTools account as a mail drop for responses, or otherwise using the
services of another provider for the purpose of facilitating the
foregoing activities
* Exceeding Account Limitations
iTools has been designed primarily for personal use. We do not intend
that iTools will be used to host e-commerce businesses in their
marketing, promotions and sales over the Internet. We also do not intend
that iTools accounts will be used for FTP access and downloading. iTools
accounts are limited in terms of the bandwidth for network traffic and
disk utilization for storage allocated to them. Your iDisk account usage
is limited to 20 MB and your email account may not exceed 5 MB.
Exceeding the applicable limitations is prohibited.
In addition to the iTools account limitations on bandwidth and disk
utilization, certain commercial or business uses are prohibited,
including the following:
* Soliciting for advertisers or sponsors
* Posting sponsorships and third-party advertisements and banners
* Sending unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or commercial
solicitations to third parties
* Reselling, renting or subleasing iTools space under any circumstance
* Using or providing to any third person or entity, whether or not for a
fee, any directory of iTools Members other than for personal,
non-commercial purposes
* Disseminating multi-level marketing schemes, pyramid schemes, or
commercial chain letters
* INVESTIGATIONS
Apple reserves the right to investigate suspected violations of this
iTools agreement. When Apple becomes aware of possible violations, Apple
may initiate an investigation, which may include gathering information
from any iTools member involved and the complaining party, if any, and
the examination of Content stored on the iTools system.
During the investigation, Apple may suspend or terminate any or all
iTools member accounts involved and/or remove the Content involved from
its computers. If Apple believes, in its sole discretion, that a
violation of this agreement has occurred, it may take responsive action,
including but not limited to permanent removal of illegal or
inappropriate Content from the iTools system, warnings to the iTools
member(s), and the suspension or termination of the account or accounts
responsible.
If, as a result of any such investigation, Apple believes that any
criminal activity has occurred, Apple reserves the right to refer the
matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all appropriate law
enforcement authorities.
BY BECOMING AN iTOOLS MEMBER, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE
AGAINST APPLE, AND TO HOLD APPLE HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY APPLE WITH
RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS, RELATING TO ANY ACTION TAKEN BY APPLE AS PART OF
ITS INVESTIGATION OF A SUSPECTED VIOLATION OF THIS AGREMENT OR AS A
RESULT OF ITS FINDING OR DECISION THAT A VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS
OCCURRED. THIS MEANS THAT YOU CANNOT SUE APPLE OR RECOVER ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER FROM APPLE AS A RESULT OF ITS DECISION TO REMOVE MATERIAL
FROM THE iTOOLS SYSTEM, TO WARN YOU, TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR iTOOLS
ACCOUNT, OR TO TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION DURING THE INVESTIGATION OF A
SUSPECTED VIOLATION OR AS A RESULT OF APPLE'S CONCLUSION THAT A
VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS OCCURRED. THIS WAIVER AND INDEMNITY
PROVISION APPLIES TO ALL VIOLATIONS DESCRIBED IN OR CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT.
* SOFTWARE LICENSES
If you access iTools through downloaded software or a CD-ROM, then these
provisions relating to software licenses apply to you. Nothing in these
provisions, however, supersedes any terms of any end-user license for
software provided with your computer.
Apple provides you with a limited license to use the software providing
access to iTools, which you agree to use in accordance with these rules.
You may not sublicense, or charge others to use or access, this
software. Apple will occasionally provide automatic upgrades to improve
your on-line experience.
Apple grants to you a non-exclusive, limited license to use the software
designed to provide access to iTools for the sole purpose of connecting
you to iTools. This license is subject to the restriction that, except
where expressly permitted by law, you may not translate,
reverse-engineer or reverse-compile or decompile, disassemble or make
derivative works from the software. You may not modify the software or
use it in any way not expressly authorized by this agreement. You
understand that Apple's introduction of various technologies may not be
consistent across all platforms and that the performance and some iTools
features may vary depending on your computer and systems and other
equipment.
* DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIABILITY LIMITATIONS
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE iTOOLS
SERVICES ARE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. iTOOLS SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND
"AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BECAUSE
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, THE
ABOVE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
APPLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE OR
OTHER MATERIAL ACCESSIBLE THROUGH iTOOLS WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES,
"WORMS", "TROJAN HORSES", OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. APPLE'S ENTIRE
LIABILITY AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF
ANY SERVICES PROVIDED BY iTOOLS SHALL BE CANCELLATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT.
IN NO CASE SHALL APPLE, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES,
AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF iTOOLS OR FOR
ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR iTOOLS MEMBERSHIP. BECAUSE
SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR THE
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH
STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, APPLE'S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN iTOOLS, APPLE DOES NOT ENDORSE, WARRANT
OR GUARANTEE ANY THIRD-PARTY PRODUCT OR SERVICE OFFERED THROUGH iTOOLS
AND WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING
ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTIES THROUGH iTOOLS. YOU
HEREBY RELEASE APPLE FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITY AND CLAIMS
IN EXCESS OF THESE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS.
* NOTICES
Apple may give notice to any iTools member by sending an e-mail message
to the member's mailbox or by sending a letter via postal mail to the
contact address listed in the member's iTools registration. iTools
members may contact Apple by filling out the "Comments and Ideas" form
in the "ContactUs" section of the iTools Help system.
* EXPORT CONTROLS
You agree to abide by U.S. and other applicable export control laws and
not to transfer, by electronic transmission or otherwise, any Content or
software subject to restrictions under such laws to a destination
prohibited under such laws, without first obtaining, and then complying
with, any requisite government authorization. You further agree not to
upload to your iTools account any data or software that cannot be
exported without prior written government authorization, including, but
not limited to, certain types of encryption software. This assurance and
commitment shall survive termination of this agreement.
* LEGAL PRINCIPLES
With respect to iTools, this agreement represents your entire agreement
with Apple. You agree that this agreement is not intended to confer and
does not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you,
as an iTools member, and Apple.
If any part of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that
portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to
reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties,
and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. The
laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules,
govern this agreement and your iTools membership. Member conduct may be
subject to other local, state, national, and international laws. You
expressly agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute
with Apple regarding iTools or relating in any way to your membership or
your use of iTools resides in the courts of the State of California. You
further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal
jurisdiction in the California courts in connection with any such
dispute, including any claim involving Apple or its affiliates,
subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors,
telecommunication providers and content providers with respect to
iTools.
