Terms of Service

You agree that any of the below activities are considered prohibited usage and will result in immediate account suspension or cancellation without a refund and the possibility that APCINTERNET will impose fees; and/or pursue civil remedies without providing advance notice. Misuse of System Resources: Intentional misuse of system resources, including but not limited to employing programs that consume excessive network capacity, CPU cycles, or disk IO.Spam and Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE): APCINTERNET has a zero tolerance policy on spam, Junk E-mail or UBE. Spam, Junk-mail and UBE are defined as: the sending of the same, or substantially similar, unsolicited electronic mail messages, whether commercial or not, to more than one recipient. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested the message. UBE also includes e-mail with forged headers, compromised mail server relays, and false contact information. This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way implicates the use of APCINTERNET whether or not the message actually originated from our network. Mailing Lists: APCINTERNET’s mass mailing rules also apply to mailing lists, LISTSERVs, or mailing services you may contract with. The policy is stated as follows: An acceptable mailing list will be focused at a targeted audience that has voluntarily signed up for your e-mail information or that has made their e-mail address available for distribution of information from you. The list must also allow for automatic removal of recipients with non-distribution in the future. Access to Other Computers or Networks without Authorisation: Attempting unauthorised and/or illegal access of computers, networks and/or accounts not belonging to party seeking access. Any act which interferes with the services of another user or network. Any act relating to the circumvention of security measures. APCINTERNET and the services it provides may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or storage of any information, data or material in violation of Australian or state regulation or law, or by the common law, is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights. APCINTERNET’s services may not be used to facilitate infringement of these laws in any way. Other Activities viewed as Illegal or Harmful: Engaging in illegal activities or engaging in activities harmful to the operations of APCINTERNET or APCINTERNET’s customers. Providing False Data on any Contract or Application: including fraudulent use of credit card numbers. APCINTERNET does not prohibit the use of distributed, peer to peer network services such as Tor, nor does APCINTERNET routinely monitor the network communications of customer APCINTERNET’s as a normal business practice. However, customers are responsible for the contents of network traffic exiting their APCINTERNET. Any usage that prompts the receipt of abuse complaints pertaining to violation of Australian and/or international copyright law must be promptly discontinued to avoid service cancellation for violation of these terms.
