The charter member companies of P2P United hereby confirm that they have met (or by year’s end will satisfy) each of the following obligations:

INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

• No Member’s software shall be installed or upgraded on any user’s computer without first obtaining the user’s informed consent.
• A method by which a Member’s software (and any other software installed with it) readily may be uninstalled by the user shall be provided to users.
• Member’s software and associated user instructions shall conspicuously require the user to confirm the folder(s) containing the file material that the user wishes to make available to other users before making such material available, and shall be designed to reasonably prevent the inadvertent designation of the content of the user’s entire hard drive (or other principal data repository) as material available to other users.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW

• The user of a member’s software shall be prominently informed that the use of the software for illegal activities, including particularly infringement of intellectual property laws, is strictly forbidden and may subject the user to civil and/or criminal penalties.
• Appropriate online links to one or more responsible sources of information regarding the nature and scope of applicable copyright law shall be prominently provided to users.
• Members will comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and shall cooperate with governmental agencies to eliminate and prosecute trafficking in child pornography and other similar crimes.

USER PRIVACY, SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

• Members shall establish and prominently post on their websites user privacy principles.
• Members shall make readily available to users of their software information regarding the potential risk of inadvertent exposure to children of inappropriate file content.
• Members shall, as technically feasible, incorporate features into their software that enable adults to restrict use of the software to designated members of their households.
• Members shall not, without a user’s informed and confirmed consent, disclose personal information about the user or the user’s online activities to third parties unless required by law to do so.
