Overview
Depending on how much you rely on your website as a business tool and how much you use the Internet, especially email, it may be very useful to establish policies and guidelines about the use of those tools.


 * E-business policy statements are high-level statements about the aims and intention of particular aspects of e-business.
 * An e-business policy might be a brief document that makes statements about your organisation’s general approach and aims.
 * Policies then need guidelines and procedures that direct individual staff in their day-to-day use of the Internet. These might be in the form of step-by-step procedures or statements about what can be done online and what is discouraged or even not allowed.

User Policy & Procedures
An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), acceptable usage policy or fair use policy, is a set of rules applied by the owner, creator or administrator of a network, website, or service, that restrict the ways in which the network, website or system may be used and sets guide lines as to how it should be used.
