Acceptable Use Policy.

WCCTA.net reserves the right to restrict or terminate service without refund in the event of a violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. WCCTA.net also reserves the right to take action on abuse which is not specifically named in this Acceptable Use Policy at the sole discretion of WCCTA.net. Use of the WCCTA.net network and systems constitutes understanding and agreement of this policy.

Responsibility:

• Each WCCTA.net Internet account has a password that is the key to gain access to that account. The customer who registered the account is solely responsible for all access and actions taken with regard to the account. It is the account owner’s responsibility to safeguard the account password and to ensure that WCCTA.net Acceptable Use Policies are honored. WCCTA.net will hold the account owner responsible for any violations of the Acceptable Use policy.
  
• Sites directly attached to the WCCTA.net backbone are expected to adhere to the WCCTA.net Acceptable Use Policies. The individual who signed the contract is responsible for educating site users on Acceptable Use Policies. Violations by directly attached sites will be referred to the contract signer for resolution. The contract signer will be held responsible for any violations of the Acceptable Use Policy.
  
• WCCTA.net enforces these policies with respect to WCCTA.net customers only. We are not responsible for abusive actions that originate from other sites or networks on the Internet.

Network:

• May not attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account on WCCTA.net systems or the Internet at large (“cracking”). This includes scanning or probing ports without the consent of the owner of the machine being scanned.
  
• May not use WCCTA.net systems or networks (willfully or negligently) in a manner that encumbers disk space, processors, bandwidth, or other system resources so as to interfere with others’ normal use of services on WCCTA.net or other systems and networks (“denial of service” attack).
  
• May not participate in activities that violate local, state, or federal statutes.

Email:

• May not send unsolicited mass mailings of any nature, including those with a “negative option” for continuation. The negative option is inviting those who do not wish to receive more email to reply to you.
  
• May not send a large number of email messages, or singularly large email messages, to a single address in order to flood someone’s mailbox.
  
• May not forge email headers to obscure the true originator of the message.
  
• May not create or participate in pyramid schemes or chain letters.
  
• May not send harassing email, either by language, size, or frequency. This includes sending email (or real time) messages to a person who has asked explicitly that you do not.
  
• May not participate in activities which violate local, state, or federal statutes.

Dial-up Access:

• Dial-up access is unlimited, however it is not a dedicated modem connection. Use of WCCTA.net dial-up service as a dedicated modem connection through use of re-dialers and idle-time traffic generators is prohibited.
  
• Dial-up connections that are connected for more than 12 hours continuously, will be disconnected.
  
• Multiple simultaneous logins to a single WCCTA.net dial-up account are prohibited.
  
• Activities which violate local, state, or federal statutes.

Web Pages:

• WCCTA.net may provide domain name service for web page customers. Keeping registry information updated and accurate is the responsibility of the domain holder and not WCCTA.net.
  
• May not falsify or omit valid domain contact information, including administrative, technical, zone, and billing contacts.
  
• May not distribute pornographic or otherwise indecent or offending material.
  
• May not distribute restricted software or materials in violation of copyrights or distribution licenses.
  
• May not distribute materials which violate local, state, or federal statutes.
