The Smarter Way to Internet

General use of residential and business accounts

47 Application of the Service

47.1 You are required to sign-up to an appropriate account type depending on your required utilisation. Home accounts are provided for residential consumers, if you wish to use your account commercially then you must sign-up to a business account or Teleworker account where appropriate. For guidance, we consider commercial use to be at a level above that which is running a part time business or supporting any kind of hobby. Business accounts must be used if the account is to be used from any official business premises while Teleworkers are considered to be commercial use of a residential connection.

47.2 The service includes a number of product features. Not all product features are activated as standard. Product features that require customer activation are subject to reset should they remain unused for 3 months.


48 Disruption to the Service

48.1 You may not disrupt the Service(s). The Service(s) also may not be used to interfere with computer networking or telecommunications Services to any user, host or network, including, without limitation, denial of Service attacks, flooding of a network, overloading a Service, improper seizing and abuse of operator privileges and attempts to "crash" a host. The transmission or dissemination of any information or software that contains a virus or other harmful feature is also prohibited. You are solely responsible for the security of any device you choose to connect to the Services, including any data stored on that device

48.2 Using the Service, particularly "Always On" products, to run open servers, such as SMTP relay, web proxy and NNTP, is prohibited. We define an open server being one which can be connected to over the Internet by hosts not in a trusted list.

Parents may want to use a program capable of restricting access to sexually explicit material on the Internet. Content questions or complaints should be addressed to the content provider, and not us.
