V. Net Abuse Policy
a. Using any MONISYS account or server to send duplicative, unsolicited email messages (commercial or otherwise), or
to collect the responses from unsolicited email is prohibited. Similarly, using any MONISYS account or server to post
advertisements or messages that violate the charter of any newsgroup or mailing list is prohibited. MONISYS
reserves the right to make the determination whether a given message violates the newsgroup or mailing list charter. In
most cases, MONISYS will defer to the judgement of the newsgroup or mailing list moderator or administrator.
Commercial messages that are appropriate under the charter of a newsgroup or mailing list, or that are expressly
solicited by the recipients, are permitted. Conduct in connection with email or Usenet news that is an obvious nuisance
(such as "mail bombing" and/or "spamming") or that would be unlawful in other contexts (for example, threats,
harassment, defamation, obscenity, or software piracy) is prohibited.
b. Using MONISYS's facilities to engage in activities that violate the terms of service of any other Internet or online
service provider is prohibited. For example, sending unsolicited commercial email through MONISYS's facilities to the
Subscribers of any Internet or online service provider that disallows unsolicited commercial email is prohibited.
c. Subscribers are prohibited from utilizing MONISYS services to compromise the security or tamper with MONISYS's
system resources or data on any of MONISYS's computers, routers, terminal servers, modems, or any other
equipment at MONISYS or any other Web site. Use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security is
prohibited. Any "denial of service" attack, any attempt to breach authentication or security measures, or any
unauthorized attempt to gain access to any other account, host or network is prohibited, and will result in immediate
service termination, which may be without notice.
d. Subscribers are prohibited from such activities as the transfer of information or solicitation of persons via the Internet in
an attempt to extort money or valuables or the use of pyramid/chain letters.
e. Falsifying addressing information or otherwise modifying headers to conceal the sender's or recipient's identity, for the
purpose of circumventing these terms and conditions, is prohibited. This provision is not intended to disallow the use of
aliases or anonymous remailers for any legitimate purpose.
f. Personal accounts are allotted up to 5MB of disk storage space for Web page files and FTP site locations and are
allocated up to 100MB of monthly bandwidth usage for downloading and viewing of personal Web page files and FTP
site locations. Additional disk space and monthly bandwidth usage allocations are available for nominal monthly
charges and the rates are posted on the Company's Web site. If a Subscriber uses more than 499MB of bandwidth per month, the
Subscriber's Web site may be deemed commercial and the Company may require the Subscriber to convert the Web site from
personal to commercial. If a Subscriber uses a personal Web site for
illegal activities or as the subject of mass unsolicited emailing, the Company may in its own discretion immediately terminate
access to the personal Web site and/or terminate the Subscriber's Internet Service.
