System and Network Security

Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Pipex will investigate incidents involving such violations and will involve and will co-operate with law enforcement if a criminal violation is suspected. Examples of system or network security violations include, without limitation, the following:

• Unauthorised access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without the express authorisation of the owner of the system or network;
• Unauthorised monitoring of data or Traffic on any network or system without the express authorisation of the owner of the system or network;
• Interference with service to any User, host or network including, without limitation, mailbombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks;
• Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

If approached with complaints relating to any system or network violations, Pipex will co-operate and assist the Police and law enforcing bodies with their investigations in order to bring such mis-use and violations to an end.
