This Acceptable Use Policy specifies the actions prohibited by SSP Data to users of SSP Data's system and network resources. SSP Data reserves the right to modify the Policy at any time, effective upon posting of the modified Policy to this page.


Illegal Use
SSP Data's system and network resources 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. SSP Data 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.


Network Monitoring
Individuals using these SSP Data services without authority, or in excess of their authority, are subject to having all of their activities on this network monitored and recorded by system personnel.

In the course of monitoring individuals improperly using this network or in the course of network maintenance, the activities of authorized users may also be monitored.

Anyone using this network expressly consents to such monitoring and is advised that if such monitoring reveals possible evidence of criminal activity, system personnel may provide the evidence of such monitoring to law enforcement officials.


EMail
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.


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.

Indirect or attempted violations of the policy, and actual or attempted violations by a third party of behalf of a SSP Data client or a client's end user, shall be considered violations of the policy by such client or end user.
