EXHIBIT C
AGREEMENT FOR ACCEPTABLE USE OF THE
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM BY A NONSCHOOL USER


You are being given access to the Harlingen Independent School District's electronic communications system. Through this system, you will be able to communicate with other schools, colleges, organizations, and people around the world through the Internet and other electronic information systems/networks. You will have access to hundreds of databases, libraries, and computer services all over the world.

With this opportunity comes responsibility. It is important that you read the District policy, administrative regulations, and agreement form and ask questions if you need help in understanding them. Inappropriate system use will result in the loss of the privilege to use this educational tool.

Please note that the Internet is a network of many types of communication and information networks. It is possible that you may run across some material you might find objectionable. While the District will take reasonable steps to restrict access to such material, it is not possible to absolutely prevent such access. It will be your responsibility to follow the rules for appropriate use.

    APPROPIATE USE
  1. You may be assigned an individual account, and you are responsible for not sharing the password for that account with others.
  2. You will be held responsible at all times for the proper use of your account and the District may suspend or revoke your access if you violate the rules.
  3. Remember that people who receive email from you with a school address might think your messages represents the school's point of view.

    INAPPROPIATE USE
  1. Using the system for any illegal purpose.
  2. Borrowing someone's account without permission.
  3. Downloading or using copyrighted information without permission from the copyright holder.

I understand that my computer use is not private and that the District will
monitor my activity on the computer system.

I have read the District's electronic communications system policy and administrative
regulations and agree to abide by their provisions.  In consideration for the privilege of
using the District's electronic communications system and in consideration for having 
access to the public networks, I hereby release the District, its operators, and any 
institutions with which they are affiliated from any and all claims and damages of any 
nature arising from my use of, or inability to use, the system, including, without limitation,
