Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acceris Communications reserves the right to monitor content on the Service and to remove content which Acceris Communications, in its sole discretion, determines to be harmful, offensive or otherwise in violation of these Operating Policies. In order to maintain an informative and valuable service that meets the needs of the users of the Service and avoids the harm that can result from disseminating statements that are false, malicious, violate the rights of others, or otherwise harmful, it is necessary to establish the following rules to protect against abuse:
(a) Unless you are participating in an area of the Service that requires or encourages anonymity, use your real name in online communications. You may not falsify user information provided to Acceris Communications or to other users of the Service in connection with the use of a Acceris Communications Service.

(b) You may not post or transmit any message which is libelous, defamatory or which discloses private or personal matters concerning any person. You may not post or transmit any message, data, image or program which is indecent, obscene or pornographic.

(d) You may not interfere with other users use of the Service

(e) You may not post or transmit any file which contains viruses, worms, "Trojan horses" or any other contaminating or destructive features

(f) You may not post or transmit any message which is harmful, threatening, abusive or hateful. It is not the Service's intent to discourage you from taking controversial positions or expressing vigorously what may be unpopular views; however, Acceris Communications reserves the right to take such action as it deems appropriate in cases where the Service is used to disseminate statements which are deeply and widely offensive and/or harmful.

(g) You may not post or transmit charity requests, petitions for signatures, chain letters or letters relating to pyramid schemes. You may not post or transmit any advertising, promotional materials or any other solicitation of other users of the Service for goods or services except in those areas (e.g., a classified bulletin board) that are designated for such purpose.

(h) You may not post or list articles which are off-topic according to the description of the group. You may not list or post ten (10) or more messages similar in content to Usenet or other newsgroups, forums, e-mail mailing lists or other similar groups or lists.

(i) You may not send unsolicited mass e-mailings to ten (10) or more people if such e-mail could reasonably be expected to provoke complaints.

(j) You may not use the facilities and capabilities of the Service to conduct any activity or solicit the performance of any illegal activity or other activity which infringes the rights of others

(k) You may not engage in any of the foregoing activities by using the service of another provider, but channeling such activities through a Acceris Communications account, re-mailer, or otherwise through a Acceris Communications service or using a Acceris Communications account as a mail drop for responses. You may not use the services of another provider for the purpose of facilitating the foregoing activities if such use of another party’s service could reasonably be expected to adversely affect a Acceris Communications service.
Acceris Communications considers the above practices to constitute abuse of our service and of the recipients of any recipients of any such unsolicited mailings and/or postings, who often bear the expense. Therefore these practices are prohibited by the terms and conditions of Acceris Communications’s User Agreement. Engaging in one or more of these practices will result in termination of the offender's account and/or access to Acceris Communications services.

In addition, Acceris Communications reserves the right, where feasible, to implement technical mechanisms which block multiple postings as described above before they are forwarded or otherwise sent to their intended recipients.

Nothing contained in these Operating Policies shall be construed to limit Acceris Communications’s actions or remedies in any way with respect to any of the foregoing activities, and Acceris Communications reserves the right to take any and all additional actions it may deem appropriate with respect to such activities, including without limitation taking action to recover the costs and expenses of identifying offenders and removing them from the Acceris Communications service, and levying cancellation charges to cover Acceris Communications ’s costs in the event of disconnection of dedicated access for the causes outlined above. In addition, Acceris Communications reserves at all times all rights and remedies available to it with respect to such activities at law or in equity.
