This Acceptable Use Policy specifies the actions prohibited by Cybercon,
Inc. to users of the Cybercon Network. By using the Network, you
acknowledge that you and users that have gained access to the network
through your account, have read, understood, and agree to abide by the
Policies. You are responsible for violations of these Policies by any
User. While it is not our intent to control or monitor
your on-line communications, we may block
services that we deem to be in violation of the Policies or that we
otherwise deem harmful or offensive. Cybercon reserves the right to
modify the Policy at any time, effective upon posting of the modified
Policy to this URL: http://www.cybercon.com/aup.html.

regulation (including, where applicable any tariff or treaty) is
prohibited. This includes, without limitation, the use or transmission of
any data or material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret,
patent, or other intellectual property right without proper authorization
and the transmission of any material that constitutes an illegal threat,
violates export control laws, or is obscene, defamatory, or otherwise
unlawful.
Network and System Security
Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may
result in criminal and civil liability. Cybercon 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 probing and/or scanning of any system without prior
consent of the owner or system administrator. This includes, but is
not limited to, "dictionary attacks" and/or attempts to harvest or
verify email addresses.
- 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, mail-bombing, 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.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to, or attempt to interfere
with or compromise the normal functioning, operation, or security
of any network, system, computing facility, equipment, data, or
information.
- Engage in any activities that may interfere with the ability of
others to access or use the Service or the Internet.
Email/Usenet
Sending unsolicited mail messages, including, without limitation,
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. Sending mails from a third party host with the intent to drive traffic to our
network is also strictly prohibited. All postings to Usenet must
comply with that group's usage policies. Cross-posting and/or off topic
messages, including commercial messages, is explicitly prohibited.
Nothing contained in this policy shall be construed to limit Cybercon's
actions or remedies in any way with respect to any of the foregoing
activities, and Cybercon reserves the right to take any and all additional
actions it may deem appropriate with respect to such activities, including
without limitation taking action to recover the costs and expenses of
identifying offenders and removing them from the Cybercon service, and
levying cancellation charges to cover Cybercon's costs in the event of
disconnection of dedicated access for the causes outlined above.
If you become aware of any violation of these Policies by any person,
including Users that have accessed the Service through your account,
please notify us at abuse@cybercon.com.
We will notify you, our Customer,
of complaints received by us regarding each incident of alleged violation
these Policies by your Users of the Service. You agree to promptly
investigate all such complaints and take all necessary actions to remedy
any actual violations of these Policies. We may identify to the
complainant that you are investigating the complaint and may provide the
complainant with the necessary information to contact you directly to
resolve the complaint. You shall identify a representative for the
purposes of receiving such communications. Additionally, any data sent to Cybercon, Inc, by either the complaintant or
our client or any other party sending data to us, including but not limited to header
information, logfile information, alleged UCE, and any personal subscriber or alleged subscriber information, becomes
the intellectual property of Cybercon, Inc for its use however Cybercon, Inc determines necessary, including but not
limited to, providing that information to either the complaintant, our client, or other party that Cybercon, Inc deems as
qualified in assisting in the resolution in such disputes. We also reserve the right to install and use, or to have you
install and use, any appropriate devices to prevent violations of these Policies, including devices designed to filter
