ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
The Verizon Acceptable Use Policy is designed to help protect Verizon's assets,
the assets of its Customers, and the Internet community, from irresponsible or
illegal activities of Service users. These activities may disrupt or degrade
Verizon Guest Internet Services, pose a threat to Verizon's assets, expose
Verizon (or other providers of IP Services) to claims of civil or criminal
liability or other legal sanctions. Moreover, because of various conventions
used in the industry (including blocking, filtering and blacklisting) these
activities may impair Verizon's ability to interconnect with other providers of
IP Service. These activities may relate to the content stored or transmitted by
Users or to the nature of the transmissions themselves such as sending large
numbers of unsolicited messages (Spam). Users are responsible for avoiding the
prohibited activities and strictly following the AUP terms set forth herein.
AUP Coverage
This Verizon Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to the Services as
described above. If a User violates this AUP, Verizon may, depending on the
nature and severity of the violation, suspend or terminate service, as
specified below.
AUP Enforcement and Notice
Verizon reserves the right, but does not assume the obligation, to strictly
enforce this AUP. Verizon does not, as an ordinary practice, proactively
monitor the activities of those who use this Service, although it reserves the
right to do so. If Verizon is alerted to violations or potential violations of
this AUP, Verizon will take whatever measures it deems necessary and
appropriate to stop or prevent such violations including the actions described
in this AUP. For example, Verizon may in its sole discretion refuse to
transmit, screen, or editing content prior to delivery of the Service, block
access to certain categories of numbers or certain sites as Verizon determines
needed to enforce these policies.
Prohibited Actions
Verizon prohibits use of this Service in any way that is unlawful, interferes
with use of Verizon's network or the Internet, interferes in any way with the
usage or enjoyment of services received by others, infringes intellectual
property rights, results in the publication of threatening or offensive
material, constitutes Spam/E-mail/Usenet abuse, or presents security or privacy
risks.
Unlawful Activities
This Verizon Service shall not be used in connection with any criminal, civil
or administrative violation of any applicable local, state, and provincial,
federal, national or international law, treaty, court order, ordinance,
regulation or administrative rule.
Offensive or Threatening Material
or Content
This Verizon Service shall not be used to host, post, transmit, or re-transmit
any content or material that is threatening, harassing, obscene, indecent,
hateful, malicious, racist, fraudulent, deceptive, invasive of privacy or
publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, or otherwise harmful or offensive to
third parties, treasonous, excessively violent or promotes the use of violence,
