Net s policy on the Appropriate Use of Intent. Common sense and judgement are a necessary part of any system of rules, and this AUP is no exception. Of course, flagrant or repeated violations of the Policy are viewed in a very different light than minor infractions. Protection of our customers and our resources, the ability to provide quality service to our customers, conformance with existing law, and the protection of our reputation as a content provider are all contributing factors to decisions on AUP violations. It is our intention to allow Intent.
Net customers access to everything the Internet has to offer with minimal or no interference.
Our belief in Free Speech is a firm commitment to our customers. However, certain activities are considered inappropriate by the Internet community at large, and cannot be permitted under the guise of Free Speech. Net does not offer newsgroups, however many of our clients have access to newsgroups through their individual Service Providers. We advise our users that tools, such as Cyber Patrol, are available to screen an account s access to newsgroups they consider offensive. It is the account owner s responsibility to make use of such tools if desired.
