OVERVIEW
These Acceptable Use Policies specify the actions we prohibit
for users of our network and systems and the Internet. We
reserve the right to modify these policies at any time,
effective without notice. If you do not agree with any of the
modifications made then you must contact us immediately. Failure
to do this will constitute as your binding acceptance of the
change.
SYSTEM USAGE & NETWORK SECURITY
Violation of system or network security are prohibited and
may result in criminal and civil liability. We will investigate
incidents involving such violations and may involve and will
co-operate with law enforcement if a criminal violation is
suspected. Examples of system or network security violations
include, but are not limited to:
- Unauthorised access to or use of data, systems or
networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the
vulnerability of a system and / or network or to breach
security or authentication measures without express
authorisation of the owner of the system or that network.
- Interference with service to any user, host or network
including, but not limited to:
- Mail-bombing
- Packet flooding
- Deliberate attempts to overload a system
- Broadcast attacks
- Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the
header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.
- Unauthorised monitoring of data and / or traffic on any
network or system without the express authorisation of the
owner of the system or network.
ILLEGAL USE
Our network and systems may be used only for lawful purposes.
Transmission, distribution or storage of any material in
violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited.
This includes, without limitation, material protected by
copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual
property right used without proper authorization, and material
that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat or
violates export control laws.
ELECTRONIC MAIL / E-MAIL
Sending unsolicited mail messages (SPAM), including, without
limitation, commercial advertising and informational
announcements, is explicitly prohibited. This includes sending
unsolicited email via another ISP to advertise a domain or web
site hosted with us.
This policy includes any volume of unsolicited mail however
large or small. This activity uses excessive resources, incurs
great cost and annoys customers - we (and most responsible
ISP's) are strictly against this in any form. Complaints of this
nature may lead to the immediate suspension of services and may
lead to the closure of your account.
MISCELLANEOUS
Indirect or attempted violations of the policy, and actual
and or attempted violations by a 3rd party on behalf of one of
our customers or a customers' end user, shall be considered
violations of the policy by such customer or end user.
To encourage responsible usage of the Internet - we will act
against you if you abuse our system and the Internet in general.
This action will usually take the form of a temporary suspension
of your access until the matter can be resolved. If appropriate
we may terminate your account at any time - without refund. |
