Use of Site
The Institute for Social Informatics, its designees, and any successor individual, organization or member thereof with management or operational authority with respect to a SecureID.Org site (collectively, the "SecureID.Org Publishers") authorize you to view and download the materials at this site ("Site"), provided that you retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in the original materials on any copies of the materials. You may not modify the materials at this Site in any way or reproduce or publicly display, perform, or distribute or otherwise use them except as expressly permitted by the SecureID.Org Publishers. For purposes of these Terms, any use of these materials on any other site or networked computer environment for any purpose is prohibited. The materials at this Site are copyrighted and any unauthorized use of any materials at this Site may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws. If you breach any of these Terms, your authorization to use this Site automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any downloaded or printed materials.
User Identity
Each user must register one and only one name. Names must not be shared with any other person or entity. Names can only be used by natural persons, not businesses, proxies, legal representatives, or automated agents. Business users should contact the Institute for Social Informatics for business terms of use. Names may not be transferred under any circumstances. An exception to this one-name rule is role names, such as postmaster, editor, webmaster, etc. These names must only be used for their roles and must clearly be role names. That is, no confusion with personal names is permitted. Persons responding to requests to role names must respond with their registered name. That is, role names can not be used to shield identity.
You must never reveal your password or permitted it to be revealed. Remember to Logout, if you connect from a public site or from a machine which is usable by any other person. If you suspect that your password has been compromised or that your name has been used by someone else, update your password immediately, if possible, and notify your SecureID.Org Publisher and Abuse@SecureID.Org. This User Identity rule applies for any given Site. That is, a person may have a different name at a different SecureID.Org Site.
Names must be traceable to persons. SecureID.Org Publishers may verify identities explicitly, use behavioral monitoring, IP number tracking, or other means to ensure that names are not being abused. An alternative to traceability to a person is the registration of a secure pseudonym, which permits a person to be permanently blocked from using a site, without revealing their identity.
