- JvNCnet ACCEPTIBLE USE POLICY
- -----------------------------
-
- This statement represents a guide to the acceptable use of JvNCnet for
- data communications. It is only intended to address the issue of
- JvNCnet use. In those cases where data communications are carried
- across other regional networks or the Internet, JvNCnet users are
- advised that acceptable use policies of those other networks apply and
- may limit use.
-
- JvNCnet member organizations are expected to inform their users of both
- the JvNCnet and the NSFNET acceptable use policies.
-
- 1. JvNCnet Primary Goals
-
- 1.1 JvNCnet, the John von Neumann Computer Network, has been
- established to: 1) provide the highest quality and optimum access of
- networking services to the research and educational community of the
- United States and internationally, 2) offer network resources at the
- maximum level of cost-efficiency, and 3) promote and facilitate
- innovation and regional and national competitiveness. These goals
- remain the standard for excellence in service and price and should not
- be compromised.
-
- 2. JvNCnet Acceptable Use Policy
-
- 2.1 All use of JvNCnet must be consistent with JvNCnet's primary
- goals.
-
- 2.2 It is not acceptable to use JvNCnet for illegal purposes.
-
- 2.3 It is not acceptable to use JvNCnet to transmit threatening,
- obscene, or harassing materials.
-
- 2.4 It is not acceptable to use JvNCnet 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 and viruses, and using the network to make
- unauthorized entry to any other machine accessible via the network.
-
- 2.5 It is assumed that information and resources accessible via
- JvNCnet are private to the individuals and organizations which own or
- hold rights to those resources and information unless specifically
- stated otherwise by the owners or holders of rights. It is therefore
- not acceptable for an individual to use JvNCnet to access information or
- resources unless permission to do so has been granted by the owners or
- holders of rights to those resources or information.
-
- 3. Violation of Policy
-
- 3.1 JvNCnet will review alleged violations of Acceptable Use Policy on
- a case by-case basis. Clear violations of policy which are not promptly
- remedied by member organization may result in termination of JvNCnet
- membership and network services to member.
