The license prohibits your downloading (other than page caching) or modifying any portion of it, except with express, written consent of bytewriter. The license does not allow resale of Project Honey Pot or bytewriter's services. You may not frame or use framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of Project Honey Pot or bytewriter without express written consent of bytewriter.

Section 4: Special License Restrictions For Non-Human Visitors

Google, Bing, Yahoo, Web Of Trust and project HoneyPot are expressly permitted to use non-human visitors on the site because the search engines allow people greater access to information found on the Website. Permission granted to Google, Bing, Yahoo, Web Of Trust and Project Honey Pot are at the sole discretion of bytewriter.

Special restrictions on a visitor's license to access the Website apply to Non-Human Visitors. Non-Human Visitors include, but are not limited to, web spiders, bots, indexers, robots, crawlers, harvesters, or any other computer programs designed to access, read, compile or gather content from the Website automatically. Non-Human Visitors are prohibited from taxing the resources of the Website beyond what would be typical of a human visitor using a web browser.

U.S. courts have acknowledged that users of "scrapers" or "robots" may be held liable for committing trespass to chattels, which involves a computer system itself being considered personal property upon which the user of a scraper is trespassing.

Some actions of Non-Human Visitors are crimes.

  1. Actions can be classified as as a felony under Chapter 815.01-815.07 of Florida Statutes.
  2. Where applicable incidents will be classified by 18 U.S. Code ยง 1030
  3. Criminal penalities may also apply based on the location of the servers used by non-human visitors.

It is recognized that these email addresses are provided for human visitors alone, and have value in part because they are accessible only to said human visitors. By continuing to access the Website, You acknowledge and agree that each email address the Website contains has a value not less than US $500 derived from their relative secrecy. You further agree that the compilation, storage, and potential distribution of these addresses by Non-Human Visitors substantially diminish the value of these addresses. Intentional collection, harvesting, gathering, or storing email addresses by Non-Human Visitors is recognized under this agreement as a violation of this agreement and expressly prohibited.

Any Non-Human Visitors to the Website shall be considered agents of the individuals who control or author them. These individuals shall ultimately be responsible for the behavior of their Non-Human Visitor agents and are liable for violations of the Terms of Service.

Visitors agree that harvesting, gathering, storing, transferring to a third party or sending any messages to the identifier constitutes an acceptance and subsequent breach of these terms of service.
