This Acceptable Usage Policy specifies the
actions prohibited by iSPACE, to users of the iSPACE Network. iSPACE
reserves the right to modify the Policy at any time, effective upon
posting of the modified Policy to this URL http://www.ispace.co.za/policy.html.
ILLEGAL USE
The iSPACE Network 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.
SYSTEM AND NETWORK SECURITY.
Violations of system or network
security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil
liability. iSPACE will investigate incidents involving such violations
and may involve and will cooperate with law enforcement if a criminal
violation is suspected. Examples of system or network security
violations include, without limitation, the following:
Unauthorized access to or use of data,
systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the
vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or
authentication measures without express authorization of the owner of
the system or network. Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on
any network or system without express authorization of the owner of
the system or network. Interference with service to any user, host or
network including, without limitation, mailbombing, flooding,
deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks.
Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header
information in an email or a newsgroup posting.
EMAIL
Sending unsolicited mail messages,
including, without limitation, Make-Money-Fast (MMF) schemes, chain
letters, commercial advertising and informational announcements, is
explicitly prohibited. A user shall not use another site's mail server
to relay mail without the express permission of the site.
As it is against our policy to allow Mail Relaying via iSPACE we
implemented a process to prevent this. This means that our VISP
(Virtual ISP) end-users connecting to a iSPACE PoP may make use of
smtp.ispace.co.za as their SMTP host. What will not be allowed is for
the VISP to point their mail server to smtp.ispace.co.za as a mail
relay.
USENET
Posting the same or similar message to
one or more newsgroups (excessive cross-posting or multiple-posting,
also known as "SPAM") is explicitly prohibited. A seemingly
accepted number of simultaneous postings is a maximum of five (5). The
posting of Make-Money-Fast (MMF) schemes is explicitly prohibited.
SIMULTANEOUS LOGINS
Username/Password combinations supplied
by our VISP's are not transferable. It is the sole responsibility of
the end-user to keep his Username/Password confidential. Although we
have the mechanism to prevent simultaneous logins violating this
agreement constitutes an illegal action.
INDIRECT OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS OF
THE POLICY, AND ACTUAL OR ATTEMPTED VIOLATIONS BY A THIRD PARTY ON
BEHALF OF A iSPACE CUSTOMER OR A CUSTOMER'S END USER, SHALL BE
CONSIDERED VIOLATIONS OF THE POLICY BY SUCH CUSTOMER OR END USER.
iSPACE does not in any way support SPAM
or any form of NETWORK ABUSE and enforces the iSPACE Terms and
Conditions and Acceptable Use Guidelines on a stringent basis when
complaints are made. Enforcement of iSPACE Terms and Conditions as
well as its Acceptable Use Guidelines for reasons of SPAM or NETWORK
ABUSE will result in suspension or termination of account access
privileges.
Complaints regarding Illegal Use or
System or Network Security issues or e-Mail abuse or USENET abuse or
SPAM should be sent to the iSPACE HelpDesk by filling the following Contact
