Definitions
In this Acceptable Use Policy references to our "Network" mean our WiFi network, references to the "Services" mean connectivity to the internet using our Network, and references to our "Website" means *.astutium.com
PrinciplesThis Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to all use of our Website, our Network and the Services. You are reminded that, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, any failure to comply with this AUP may result in the suspension and/or termination of your use of our Website and/or our Network and/or the Services without warning. The primary goals of this AUP are:
to protect the internet infrastructure, and other internet users
to protect our servers, Network and customers, and our ability to provide services to our customers
to protect our reputation and ensure we are able to act as a responsible internet service provider.
It is based on some general standards of behaviour accepted by the general internet community, but is not an exhaustive document. We reserve the right at all times to act to protect our reputation, networks and servers.
The internet and its infrastructure fundamentally rely on mutual co-operation and consideration between both users and service providers. Therefore, both we and you have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards in these respects for the benefit of all. Furthermore, if we permit any abuse of the internet via or related to our services, our ability to provide services to you and other customers may be impaired.Responsibility for Persons Accessing Services using your Equipment
