OARnet Acceptable Use Policy
This policy represents a guide to the acceptable use of OARnet. OARnet
provides access to state, national and international resources to its clients
through connections with networks outside OARnet. In general, it is the
responsibility of those networks to enforce their own acceptable use policies.
OARnet will inform its clients of any restrictions on use of networks to which
it is directly connected.
OARnet accepts no responsibility for traffic which it originates which violates
the acceptable use policy of any directly or indirectly connected networks
beyond informing the client that they are in violation if the connected
network so informs OARnet.
1. Use of OARnet must be consistent with the goals of facilitating and
disseminating knowledge, encouraging collaborative projects and
resource sharing, aiding technology transfer to Ohio businesses, fostering
innovation and competitiveness within Ohio, and building broader
infrastructure in support of education and research.
2. It is not acceptable to use OARnet for illegal purposes.
3. It is not acceptable to use OARnet to transmit threatening, obscene, or
harassing materials.
4. It is not acceptable to use OARnet so as to interfere with or disrupt
network users, services, or equipment. Disruptions include, but are not
limited to, distribution of unsolicited advertising, propagation of
computer worms or viruses, and using the network to make
unauthorized entry to any other machine accessible via the network.
5. It is assumed that information and resources available via OARnet are
private to those individuals and organizations which own or hold rights
to those resources and information and unless specifically stated
otherwise by the owners or holders of the rights. It is therefore not
acceptable for an individual to use OARnet to access information or
resources unless permission to do so has been granted by the owners or
holders of rights to those resources and information.
6. OARnet will review violations of our Acceptable User Policy on a case-
by-case basis. Clear violations which are not promptly remedied by the
client organization may result in termination of OARnet network
services.
