Exhibit A – I.X’s Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”)

I.X respects free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue, I.X reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, I.X has developed this AUP, which supplements and explains certain terms in the Agreement and is intended as a guide to your rights and obligations when utilizing the Service and the Website. This AUP will be revised from time to time, without any obligation to notify you of the same. Your use of the Website or Service after changes to this AUP are posted on the Website shall constitute your acceptance of any new or additional terms.

When you obtain information via the Service, you must keep in mind that we cannot, and do not make any attempt to, monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy, usefulness or quality of the information that you may acquire. For this reason, you must exercise your best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Service, and also should be aware that some material may be sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because we cannot monitor or censor the Service, and will not attempt to do so, I.X shall not be responsible for injury to you that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Messages.

When you disseminate information via the Service, you must keep in mind that I.X does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information you may create. When you place information on the Service, you have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information you create is carried over networks and may reach a large number of people, your Messages may affect other users and may harm our goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, you violate this AUP and the Agreement when you engage in or facilitate the following prohibited activities:

1. Intellectual Property Violations. Using the Service to engage in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, patents, or privacy or publicity rights held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. We are required by law to remove or block access to user content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also our policy to terminate the privileges of users who violate copyright laws or any other intellectual property laws.

2. Obscene Speech or Materials. Using the Service to view, advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material. We are required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when we become aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through the Service.

3. Defamatory or Abusive Language. Using the Service as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.

4. Spamming. Using the Service to send unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages (known as “spamming”). Spamming is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward I.X, but also because it can overload our networks and disrupt service to our other users. When a complaint is received, we have the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the recipients were from an “opt-in” email list.

5. Forging of Headers. Using the Service to forge or misrepresent message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

6. Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks. Using the Service to access illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual’s system (often known as “hacking”). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

7. Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities. Using the Service to distribute information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mailbombing, or denial of service attacks.

8. Export Control Violations. Using the Service to export encryption software to points outside the United States.

9. Other Activities. Using the Service to engage in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that I.X determines to be harmful to our users, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with you. We do not read or monitor the contents of the Messages of our users to ensure that they comply with the Agreement, this AUP, or applicable law. However, if we become aware of harmful activities, we may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removing information, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Website or Service, or taking any other action that we deem appropriate.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying your obligations as a responsible user of the Service. Any complaints about a user’s violation of this AUP should be sent to support@ix-security.com
