Personal Web Page Agreement

This Agreement is between Eastern New Mexico University (the University) and the user (User) of the University Personal World Wide Web (Web) Pages services who has signed at the end of this Agreement.

Recitals

The personal Web pages served by the University personal server are accessible by Internet users around the world and are subject to all local, state, federal, and international law, as well as University policy.

It is necessary to distinguish between the official University Web pages, which represent the University, and the personal Web pages which may contain individual opinion and other content not related to the University.

For those and other reasons, it is important that the obligations of both the User and the University be clearly understood. Therefore, the University and the User, whose signature appears below, agree to the following:
