Acceptable Use Policy

Purpose
The purpose of this statement is to document the Acceptable Use Policy for subscriber's use of En-Tel Communications' network facilities and/or services.

Introduction
The En-Tel Communications' network is a commercial endeavor that was established to provide access to the Internet. It is made available to all business, academic, governmental, and private subscribers for a reasonable fee.

The En-Tel Communications' network uses a combination of communications transmission and specialized switching equipment to provide a high-speed, wide area communications network service that provides inter-organizational connectivity for its subscribers to other regional, state, national, and international networks.

General Policy
All information transiting the En-Tel Communications' network is unrestricted unless it is listed as unacceptable under this policy.

It is the policy of En-Tel Communications to provide its subscribers electronic access to the broadest possible number of organizations connected to the Internet.

Private Policy
It is the responsibility of all individual subscribers or subscriber organizations to:

Respect the privacy of other users, and not seek information pertaining to other users without their permission. This includes, but is not limited to, personal data, passwords, access to confidential files, or modification of files belonging to other users.

Use the network service in a manner that is consistent with ethical practice and accepted community standards.

Copyright Policy
It is the responsibility of all individual subscribers or subscriber organizations to respect the legal protection provided by copyright and license to programs, data, and other information that may be accessible over the En-Tel Communications network. Consistent with provisions of Federal Law (17 U.S.C. § 512), it is En-Tel Communication's policy to terminate subscribers and account holders who are repeat copyright infringers.
