Our AUP prohibits the following:
Impersonation/Forgery:
Adding, removing, or modifying identifying network header information ("spoofing") in an effort to deceive or mislead is prohibited. Attempting
to impersonate any person by using forged headers or other identifying information is prohibited. The use of anonymous remailers and nicknames
does not constitute impersonation. Using deliberately misleading headers ("munging" headers) in news postings in order to avoid spam e-mail
address collectors is allowed provided appropriate contact information is contained in the body of the posting.
Privacy violations:
Attempts, whether successful or unsuccessful, to gain access to any electronic systems, networks or data, without proper consent, are
prohibited.
Threats:
Threats of bodily harm or destruction of property are prohibited.
Harassment:
Threatening or harassing activity is prohibited.
Illegal Use:
The use of CelluLan service for illegal purposes is prohibited.
Reselling:
The resale of CelluLan service without proper authorization from CelluLan , Inc. is prohibited.
Network Disruptions and Network unfriendly activity:
Any activities which adversely affect the ability of other people or systems to use CelluLan services or the Internet are prohibited.
This includes "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user.
Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services or network equipment is prohibited.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. A customer may not, through action or
inaction, allow others to use their network for illegal or inappropriate actions. A customer may not permit their network, through action
or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or inappropriate manner.
Mail
Sending unsolicited commercial e-mail is prohibited.
Using a CelluLan e-mail or website address to collect responses from unsolicited commercial e-mail is prohibited.
Sending large volumes of unsolicited e-mail, whether or not that e-mail is commercial in nature, is prohibited.
Activities that have the effect of facilitating unsolicited commercial e-mail, or large volumes of unsolicited e-mail whether or not that
e-mail is commercial in nature, are prohibited.
News
CelluLan customers should use their best judgment when posting to any newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQs, or
"community standards" describing what is and is not considered appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable resource if used properly. The continued
posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial advertisements are off-topic in most newsgroups, especially regional groups not
specifically named for such. The presence of such articles in a group is not indicative of the group's "intended" use. Please familiarize
yourself with basic USENET netiquette before posting to a newsgroup.
Newsgroup spamming: Spam is, first and foremost, a numerical metric-Posting substantively similar articles individually to multiple newsgroups
is spamming by definition. This form of spam is sometimes referred to as "excessive multi-posting" (EMP). CelluLan considers "multi-posting"
to 10 or more groups within a two week sliding window to be excessive. CelluLan servers currently limit the number of allowable "cross-posts"
to 9.
Hostile attacks or invectives (flames) aimed at a group or an individual poster, are generally considered inappropriate in CelluLan service
groups. Flames in the non-service groups are discouraged. Many news readers offer filtering capabilities that will bring certain messages to
your attention or skip over them all together (kill files).
CelluLan customers may not cancel messages other than their own messages. A customer may cancel posts forged in that customer's name.
CelluLan may cancel any postings which violate this AUP.
Web
Using a CelluLan website address or CelluLan hosted web account to collect responses from unsolicited commercial e-mail is also prohibited.
Excessive bandwidth or disk utilization
CelluLan account descriptions specify any limits on bandwidth and disk utilization. The use of bandwidth or disk space in excess of those limits is not permitted. Bandwidth utilization is determined by the total number of bytes transferred from an account's Web and FTP space. Disk utilization is determined by the total number of bytes required to store an account's Web, FTP, and Mail data.
If CelluLan determines that excessive bandwidth or disk space utilization is adversely affecting CelluLan's ability to provide service, CelluLan may take immediate action. CelluLan will attempt to notify the account owner by e-mail as soon as practicable.
CelluLan requests that anyone who believes that there is a violation of this AUP should direct the information to the AUP Abuse Staff at
the appropriate address:
spamblocker@cellulan.com
CelluLan customers who wish to report "spam" they have received from a non-CelluLan source should send copies of the email they received
along with full header information to this address. These messages may not receive a response, but CelluLan may use the information received at this address to aid in the development of CelluLan's
Spam Blocking filter lists.
