Cybercom's Terms and Conditions
Addendum #1: Acceptable Use Policy (AUP):
It is the policy of Cybercom not to monitor individual usage of any general
facility. However, Cybercom reserves the right to monitor and record the
usage of all facilities as necessary to evaluate and maintain system
efficiency and integrity or if it reasonably believes that activities are
taking place that are contrary to Cybercom's TCAUP or state, or federal
laws.
CYBERCOM reserves the right to terminate any CYBERCOM members' account --
without notice -- if Cybercom reasonably determines that any it's AUP
policies have been violated. Conduct that violates Cybercom's AUP includes,
but is not limited to the activities in the following list:
- Applications that hinder or interfere with the use of the network by
others and/or use excessive network bandwidth. Bandwidth use is excessive
when it affects the speed of the network for multiple users for extended
periods of time. Examples of excessive use of applications are:
Peer-to-peer network applications such as Napster, Gnutella, iMesh, Scour,
etc. and network game servers such as Quake, Tribes, Unreal Tournament, etc.
Excessive use (misuse/abuse) of these and similar applications is a
violation of Cybercom's AUP and will result in the immediate termination of
your account. In other words, play games at your house but don't run a game
server, don't allow lots of people to download songs from your computer, and
don't select 200 songs to download from Napster and then walk away from your
computer.
