Acceptable Use Policy

Terms & Conditions


This “Acceptable Use Policy” or “AUP” applies to IP related Services (as defined below) provided by All Communications Network of Canada Co. (“ACN”) under the tradenames ACN, ACN Canada and Flash Services.

 

Unlike in the area of regulated common carrier services, certain activities of Customers and Users of Internet services, including hosting (collectively referred to herein as the "IP related Services")"), may expose providers of those services, such as ACN, to claims of civil or criminal liability or other legal sanctions. These activities may also disrupt or degrade ACN's the IP related Services. Moreover, because of various conventions used in the industry (including blocking, filtering and blacklisting) these activities may impair ACN's ability to interconnect with other IP related Service providers. These activities may relate to the content stored by Customers or Users, to content of the messages transmitted by Customers or Users or to the nature of the transmissions themselves, such as sending large numbers of unsolicited messages (Spam).

 

While ACN does not normally monitor the stored content or transmissions of its Customers, we must be able to respond to complaints by governmental authorities, affected parties and other Internet Service Providers. ACN has adopted this "Acceptable Use Policy" ("AUP") in an attempt to balance interference or risk of harm arising from its Customers' use of ACN's the IP related Services with the interests of those who may be affected by such use. Because the rules in this area are in a state of development, this AUP may change from time to time; any such changes will be posted at this site and shall be applied prospectively only.

 

AUP Coverage

 

The AUP applies to all Customers and Users of ACN's the IP related Services. If a Customer violates the AUP, ACN may, depending on the nature and severity of the violation, suspend or terminate service, as provided below. If a User (other than a Customer) violates the AUP, ACN may suspend service for so long as necessary for steps to be taken which, in ACN's reasonable judgment, will prevent the violation from continuing or reoccurring.

 

Notice

 

When feasible, ACN shall provide Customers with written notice via e-mail or otherwise of an AUP violation so that such violation may be corrected without impact on service. ACN reserves the right, however, to act immediately and without notice to suspend or terminate service in response to a court order or government notice that certain conduct must be stopped or when ACN reasonably determines: (1) that it may be exposed to sanctions or prosecution; (2) that such violation may cause harm to or interfere with the integrity or normal operations or security of ACN's network or networks with which ACN is interconnected or interfere with another Customer's use of ACNthe IP related Services or the Internet; or (3) that such violation otherwise presents imminent risk of harm to ACN or ACN's Customers or their respective employees. In other situations, ACN will use reasonable efforts to provide at least 5 business daysdays’ notice before suspending or terminating service.

 

Prohibited Actions

 

ACN is committed to remaining in compliance with laws and regulations governing use of the Internet and e-mail transmissions and to preserving for all of its Customers the ability to use ACN's network and the Internet without interference or harassment from other users.
