ACCEPTABLE USER POLICY

Version 1.0 - 07/02/03

Please Note: Caladan refers to Caladan Communications Limited.

Caladan Communications Ltd. does not wish to restrict any of our users from using the Internet; you may, within reason do what you like with an account from us. However, we do expect you to be sensible, we expect you to police your own activities and not engage in any activity that is illegal under UK law or that would bring disrepute to Caladan Communications Limited, any of its employees or clients. To this end, we have listed below activities that we do not approve of.

General

• Engaging in harassment of other Internet users, of any sort.
• Attempting to by-pass user authentication or security measures (cracking).
• Portscanning or any kind of 'security testing' unless specific permission has been given by the owner of the host being tested.
• Attempting to interfere with or deny service to any other Internet user or host.
• Operating or allowing an open mail relay.
• Forging email or USENET postings.
• Sending unsolicited e-mails (SPAM / UCE / Junk Mail).
• Forwarding or posting 'chain letters' (multiple forwarding) of any type.
• Posting inappropriate messages to USENET newsgroups e.g., posting large numbers of unsolicited posts (spamming), or posting encoded binary files to newsgroups not specifically named for that purpose.
• Attempting to interfere with other users email or USENET posts.

Internet Access

Internet access accounts of any type, e.g. analogue dial up, ISDN, ADSL, Wireless Broadband, etc are not designed for the purpose of serving content to other Internet users, i.e. An Internet access account is for the client to access the Internet, not the other way around. Caladan cannot support any Internet Access account that is used for the purpose of serving content and reserves the right to block incoming ports or suspend a service if such use is suspected.

Examples of such use would be a Web Server, FTP Server, IRC Server, etc.

Web Space

Any website hosted on one of our shared webservers is subject to a fair use policy, where the overall system resources must be shared fairly amongst the clients resident on that server. Caladan reserve the right to move or suspend any website which in their opinion is unfairly utilising a larger proportion of the systems resources.

You are responsible for the content of your web site; you must obtain legal permission to use material where appropriate (e.g. copyright, etc). You must ensure that the content of your web site does not violate UK law.

Actions

We reserve the right to remove any content deemed inappropriate and / or suspend / modify / terminate an account that violates our terms and conditions or this A.U.P. We also reserve the right to charge for our time involved with the enforcement of this A.U.P. when a user violates the A.U.P.
