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

When Stickam becomes violations of the AUP, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a website, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.

Stickam also is aware that many users of the StreamAPI website and Service, are themselves, providers of Internet services, and that information reaching Stickam's facilities from those customers may have originated from their customer or from another third-party. Stickam does not require its customers who offer Internet services or act as Interactive Service Providers to monitor or censor transmissions or websites created by their customers. However, Stickam has the right to directly take action against your customer. Also, Stickam may take action against you because of activities of your customer. Similarly, Stickam expects that customers who offer Internet services or act as Interactive Service Providers will cooperate with Stickam in any corrective or preventive action that Stickam deems necessary. Failure to cooperate with such corrective or preventive measures is a violation of Stickam policy.

Finally, Stickam expects that its customers who provide Internet services to others will comply fully with all applicable laws concerning the privacy of on-line communications. A customer’s failure to comply with those laws will violate Stickam policy.
