Acceptable Use Policy

INTRODUCTION

Infinet Communications Group Inc. ("ICG") offers a variety of Internet services including dial-up services and web site hosting. It is ICG's intention to allow ICG users complete access to all that the Internet has to offer with minimal or no interference. However, because ICG operates multi-user systems, actions of one ICG customer may have severe impact on other customer's ability to use our systems. As the Internet expands, it is not uncommon for an Internet Service Provider ("ISP"), such as ICG, to be blocked from use of another organisation's systems due to repeated misuse of that systems' resources by its account holders.
