on ANY network or system may have their access restricted or revoked,

or not.
- Techgnosis Networks systems may not be used to promote or operate
multi-level marketing, pyramid or ponzi schemes, or so-called "network
marketing" ventures.
- In the event of premeditated and/or egregious violation of the Techgnosis
Networks Aceptable Use Policy, Techgnosis Networks may publish the identity
of the violator, so that victims may more easily contact the violator
and seek redress, and so that ISPs will be aware of this person's activities.
Unsolicited Broadcast Email will be considered egregious if one or more
of the following are true: if the return email address in the headers
does not point to an emailbox read by the original sender; if it was
sent to one hundred or more persons; if it contains code, binaries,
or scripts designed to cause the recipients systems to perform actions
at the direction of the sender (such as opening remote websites); if
any header lines are falsified to disguise the origin of the message;
or if it causes technical difficulties or dysfunction in any system.
Mass postings will be considered egregious if one or more of the following
conditions are met: if one hundred or more copies are posted; if it
contains code, binaries, or scripts designed to cause the recipients
systems to perform actions at the direction of the poster (such as opening
remote websites); if it cancels or supersedes other posts; or if any
header lines are falsified to disguise the origin of the sender. Abuse
will be considered premeditated if the violator has lost accounts at
other ISPs for the same or similar behaviour.
- Administrative work required to deal with a confirmed violation of
the Techgnosis Networks acceptable use policy will be billed at a rate
of $50.00/hour. This work includes, but is not necessarily limited to,
analysing headers, responding to abuse reports, cancellation of messages
posted in violation of this acceptable use policy, tracing of messages,
and tracing of connections.
- We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, at any
time.
