ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY
The AT&T Acceptable Use Policy is designed to help protect AT&T’s
assets, the assets of its Customers, and the Internet community, from
irresponsible or illegal activities of AT&T Customers and its Users. These
activities may disrupt or degrade AT&T IP Services, pose a threat to
AT&T’s assets, expose AT&T (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 AT&T’s ability to interconnect
with other providers of IP Service. These activities may relate to the content
stored or transmitted by Customers or its Users or to the nature of the
transmissions themselves such as sending large numbers of unsolicited
messages (Spam).
Customers are responsible for avoiding the prohibited activities and strictly
following the AUP terms set forth herein.
AUP Coverage
The AT&T Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) applies to the services that
provide (or include) access to the Internet, services provided over the
Internet, and Hosting services (collectively “IP Services”). Customer is
responsible for the actions of others who may be using the IP Service(s)
under Customer’s account. It is Customer’s obligation to take whatever
measures are necessary to protect access to Customer’s account (e.g., to
keep the access password secure). If a Customer or its User(s) violate the
AUP, AT&T may, depending on the nature and severity of the violation,
suspend or terminate service, as specified below.
Customer may have access through the AT&T network(s) and Service(s) to
search engines, subscription web services, chat areas, bulletin boards, web
pages, USENET, or other services that promulgate rules, guidelines or
agreements to govern their use. Failure to adhere to any such rules,
guidelines, or agreements shall be a violation of this AUP.
