AccessAbility System Abuse Policy

System abuse is strictly prohibited. AccessAbility may terminate service immediately and may bill for any resulting charges if the client engages in system abuse.

Following is a list of actions which are defined to be system abuse. This list is non-exclusive; any action about which there is any doubt should be referred to AccessAbility for evaluation. Actions which constitute system abuse include, but are not limited to:

• attempting to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account on AccessAbility systems or the Internet at large ("cracking");
• attempting, in any way, to interfere with or deny service to any user or any host on the Internet;
• forging email or USENET posting header information;
• sending large numbers of unsolicited mail messages (i.e. "junk mail");
• forwarding or posting "chain letters" (multiple forwarding) of any type;
• posting inappropriate messages to USENET newsgroups e.g., posting large numbers of unsolicited posts indiscriminately ("spamming"), or posting encoded binary files to USENET newsgroups not specifically named for that purpose;
• attempting to cancel, supersede, or otherwise interfere with email or USENET posts other than one's own;
• engaging in harassment, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages;
• using an account at another provider to promote an AccessAbility Web site in an abusive manner;
• using an AccessAbility account to collect replies to messages sent from another provider which violate these rules or those of that provider.
