Map of the Internet  MapoftheInternet.com       IDL.NET Terms of Service Effective 2007 * By using or viewing the Map of the Internet service in any manner, you, the user, provide tacit agreement to the terms of service and policies as stated in this document and other writings mentioned in this document, which are subject to change without notice. If you do not agree, please do not view or use this service. We invite questions, concerns or comments, by e-mail. * Our privacy policy is to preserve your privacy and anonymity. We do not use cookies. We do not conduct user profiling. * The Map of the Internet maps, remaps, and displays all addressable areas of the public world wide internet, from all countries. Most information is processed automatically from common public sources, and is not subject to human review. * The Map of the Internet does NOT use cookies, java, activeX, or plug-ins, however they may be used by the sites found through the map. Javascript may be used for technical or aesthetic purposes, but is not required for basic functionality of the Map system. * For proper operation, standard browser and system font size of 100% is required. Larger font sizes may result in improper display of the Map cubes. For best results, CSS (Style Sheets) should be enabled in the browser. * General usage, search engine and browsing of the Map of the Internet is provided FREE to the public. Certain features may only be available in the Premium service. * We reserve the right to edit, move, cancel or restrict any lease, title, cube, cube-holder, image or data. * We do not collect or retain personal information, except where necessary for purchasing or shipping purposes. We do not disclose any personal information that you may supply. * We do not share or sell e-mail addresses. We do not enforce the use of real or actual personal names or contact information; you can use an alias, although, your use of an alias, may preclude some services or remedies. * We do keep traffic logs for general internal analysis and statistics, but do not reveal information which correlate specific users, except to protect our system in cases of extreme overuse or abuse. When you browse through to an external object, it is normal that your IP number and other standard variables may appear in that object's server logs, and that server may also log the URL of the referring internal object. * Anonymous mode: Default is OFF. When Anonymous mode is OFF, Map of the Internet cubes may retrieve icons served inline directly from the target site to your browser. This may result in your IP showing in their server logs, along with referrer URL information. This is the same behavior as with any search engine or web site with offsite counter, graphic or banner advertisement. When Anonymous mode is ON, or user is Logged In, most cube images and banner advertising images are stored locally, and served or re-served to your browser directly from the Map server domain. This protects your privacy, as there is, generally, NO 3rd party tracking of your use of the map, via inline images. Typically only large images, specifically; audio, animations or movies, might be served inline via the source host site. An exception is that the FREE Thumbshots™ images are generally served inline from their system. Anonymous mode applies only to displayed cubes. It has nothing to do with anonymous surfing when Visiting websites, which are always served to your browser directly, not through any extra proxy. * Where usage data is passed on to 3rd party cube-holder subscribers or advertisers, such data is provided only in an aggregated statistical form, without personally identifying information. * VISIT or BROWSE mode provides your browser with an internet address of a 3rd party computer. Your browser retrieves the browsed site directly from the source server. This is presented in a removable HTML frame below the BROWSER bar. The contents are not known, served, filtered, altered, or re-branded by the Map of the Internet. Links clicked in the lower BROWSER frame are 'offsite' and are NOT seen or tracked by the Map of the Internet system. * Our communications policy is that we do not automatically subscribe anyone to e-mail or mail lists. We may however, attempt to contact cube-holder subscribers by e-mail or otherwise, to alert or announce specific important information regarding their cubes. * Our editorial policy is primarily concerned only with the visual images which directly appear in the MAP, and not in the BROWSE mode, over which we have no control. We do not automatically review, restrict or block access to any object or site, yet do not guarantee to provide access to any site. The images applied to the map, should always be suitable for public view of all ages. We may reject submitted images which we deem technically unsuitable or for which we receive complaint or concern. The visible text should similarly be suitable for public view for all ages, except where such text is technically representative of another object such as a domain name (sic). We may restrict direct access to or from objects, by placement into certain areas, or by applying other qualification techniques, yet acknowledge that such access may be otherwise readily obtained by implicit or external methods. * This Map may lead to objects which are not intended to be served to you or your system, or are restricted in some manner. Please be respectful and do not repeatedly attempt to access such an object through this service. Owners or administrators may request that the Map of the Internet does not directly link to specific URL's, for technical reasons. * An adult word filter may be active by default. This feature is switchable by the user. Filters are intended to remove most domain names which contain common adult terms, from the DOMAIN SEARCH results ONLY. The filter DOES NOT currently work with SUBJECT SEARCH. It does NOT filter 100% of such domains, offensive sites, nor does it prevent mapping, access or direct searching of such addresses. It filters only via partial domain name and not via the content or intent of any site. The filter does NOT prevent display or access to minors, it is only an aesthetic convenience for general searching. Individual filtered results may be periodically human reviewed for re-instatement into the unfiltered dataset. Please inquire for additional information regarding the filtering process, or to make special request to change filtered status of any cube. * PAID Cube(s) provide a Lease to the Title of the Cube(s) to the payor by way of a membership Subscription to the Map of the Internet Service. The member becomes a subscriber and subscribes to access the system in order to manage a Cube-Holder, and is thus entitled to apply various features to the cubes such as images, links, descriptions and keywords. Paid cubes can be 're-sold' by the 'Owner'. All Cubes, locations and data are at all times, and forever, owned by the Map of the Internet Service Provider and are proprietary, virtual and intangible, with no direct influence on the actual Internet or Domain Names. The Map Services uses terms of transaction language in a special context, where: the terms 'sale', 'sell', 'resell', 'sold', 'resold', 'buy', 'purchase', 'obtain', 'hold', 'keep', etc, refer to a transfer of 'title' of the 'Lease' from the Service Provider or from one internal 'Member', Subscriber', or 'Cube-Holder', to another. No rights, including, intellectual rights, property rights, or rights of ownership, are granted, given, transfered, expressed or implied. * Un-Paid or FREE cubes are subject to 'sale' and/or 'bumping'. * Cubes with broken, invalid or offline links, may be suspended or removed permanently without notice. If Paid Cubes are removed for this reason, they are forfeited without refund or notice, and made available again for purchase. * The conventions and use of numbers, words, symbols, names, and addresses used in or by the Map of the Internet are virtual, fictitious, novelty, novel, and proprietary and do not necessarily reflect or have a real counterpart in any network, internet, trade name or trademark. Any similarity to real or actual; numbers, words, symbols, names, addresses, people, computers, businesses, phrases, or marks, are to be considered incidental in the context that this Internet MAP is a proprietary tool used by its users for internal purposes, and such items and attributes do not have any restrictive influence on external object, nor do they confer any rights to external object, nor do they infringe on any external rights. The manner in which internal objects relate to external objects, is virtual and proprietary, without any purport of express purpose of actuality or reality. * Trademarks and trade names used or mentioned in the map, writings, documents, user content or materials are held by their respective owners. * Users who submit items such as images or files which are not in the public domain, must be the copyright holder of the item, or have valid permission to use such items, including logo's, signs and trademarks.

You may inform us of any image or material that you feel is an infringement of some kind, which in turn we may, but are not obligated to, forward the concern to the party who submitted such material, to invite that party to resolve the issue directly with you. We will not automatically remove such items, nor arbitrate or verify any rights. * Independent verification should be obtained before relying on any information supplied by this service.
