Censorship: dataneuron has
a policy of no-censorship, either from or to our systems, UNLESS,
the information transmitted is illegal or is clearly used for
fraud. The "warez" and "crack" Usenet news groups are an example
of this. (dataneuron does not carry the warez or crack groups).
User Transmitted Content:
You are solely responsible for the information you publish over
the Internet, either via email, Netnews, your personal web pages,
or other service. You must not infringe on any third party's
copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary
rights or rights of publicity or privacy. You must not violate
any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation. You must not be
defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully
harassing. The information you transmit should not be obscene
or illegal based upon any Federal, State or Local laws. The
information you transmit must not intentionally contain viruses,
Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer
programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally
interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any
system, data, or personal information.
Account Usage: Your account is for your
exclusive and individual use only; multiple concurrent logins
of the same account are not allowed. Beyond the fact that allowing
others to use your account is prohibited, consider that you
become responsible for the charges incurred by someone else
that you have allowed to use your account. For this reason you
must protect your account and password as you would any other
personal resource such as your telephone or credit card number.
Resource Usage:
No communications system has unlimited resources, and we expect
you to act responsibly when consuming resources on our system.
The Resource Usage policy applies to any and all resources used
by our Customers, including the size of your email box. Excessive
concurrent processes or processes which continue after you have
logged off are prohibited. If you consume excessive resources
on our system we may suspend your access at any time without
prior notice.
email Storage:
It is the responsibility of the Customer to permanently store,
save or retain any email messages that are desirable to save
and keep. The size of your incoming email temporary storage
is very liberal but not unlimited in size. Most Customers will
never exceed the limits under normal use. However, excessively
large temporary email boxes create a Resource Usage problem
and violate our AUP. To avoid this, Customers may not use Web
Werks's email servers for permanent or long-term storage. Customer
Support at dataneuron will assist you in configuring your email
client NOT to store messages on servers; instead to store those
message locally on your computer.If you begin to have an email
box that is too large, you will have problems in downloading
that mail.
Security: dataneuron
actively and automatically monitors all of our systems for attempts
at breaching our security or the security of our customers,
or attempts to access systems or resources that are not available
for customers to use or access. This is commonly known as "hacking".

information or to interfere with normal system operations, whether
on the our equipment or of any computer system or network that
is accessed by our services, will result in immediate and permanent
cancellation of your account and may also lead to other legal
proceedings against you.
