As a provider of Internet access, web site hosting, VoIP, IPTV and other Internet-related services, NCI Datacom (NCI) provides customers and users the means to acquire and disseminate public, private, commercial, and non-commercial information. NCI respects that the Internet provides a forum for free and open discussion and dissemination of information, however, when there are competing interests at issue; NCI reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, NCI has developed an Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), which supplements and explains certain terms of each customer’s respective service agreement and is intended as a guide to the customer’s rights and obligations while utilizing NCI’s services.
A customer’s use of NCI’s services constitutes customer’s acceptance of and agreement to follow the terms of the AUP. This AUP will be revised from time to time. A customer’s continued use of NCI’s services after changes to the AUP are posted on one of NCI’s web sites will constitute the customer’s acceptance of any new or additional terms of the AUP that result from those changes.
One important aspect of the Internet is that no one party owns or controls it. This fact accounts for much of the Internet’s openness and value, but it also places a high premium on the judgment and responsibility of those who use the Internet, both in the information they acquire and in the information they disseminate to others. When subscribers obtain information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that NCI cannot monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that subscribers may acquire. For this reason, the subscriber must exercise his or her best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because NCI cannot monitor or censor the Internet, and will not attempt to do so, NCI cannot accept any responsibility for injury to its subscribers that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Internet communications.
When subscribers disseminate information through the Internet, they also must keep in mind that NCI does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information its subscribers may create. When users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over NCI’s network and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of NCI, subscribers’ postings to the Internet may affect other subscribers and may harm NCI’s goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, subscribers violate NCI policy and the service agreement when they, their customers, affiliates, or subsidiaries engage in the following prohibited activities:
Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as “spamming”). It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward NCI, but also because it can overload NCI’s network and disrupt service to NCI subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, NCI has the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the email recipients were from an “opt-in” email list.
Engaging in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, software piracy, and patents held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. Also, engaging in activity that violates privacy, publicity, or other personal rights of others. NCI is required by law to remove or block access to customer content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also NCI’s policy to terminate the privileges of customers who commit repeat violations of copyright laws.
Using NCI’s network to advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material. NCI is required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when it becomes aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through NCI’s network.
Using NCI’s network as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.Forging of Headers — Forging or misrepresenting message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.
Accessing illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual’s system (often known as “hacking”). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).
Distributing information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mail bombing, or denial of service attacks. Also, activities that disrupt the use of or interfere with the ability of others to effectively use the network or any connected network, system, service, or equipment.
Advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP, which includes the facilitation of the means to spam, initiation of pinging, flooding, mail bombing, denial of service attacks, and piracy of software.
Exporting encryption software over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.
NCI reserves the right not to accept postings from newsgroups where we have actual knowledge that the content of the newsgroup violates the AUP.
Engaging in activities that are determined to be illegal, including advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, and pirating software.
Engaging in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that NCI determines to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.
As we have pointed out, the responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with the subscriber. NCI will not, as an ordinary practice, monitor the communications of its subscribers to ensure that they comply with NCI policy or applicable law. When NCI becomes aware of harmful activities, however, it may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including but not limited to, removing information, shutting down a web site, implementing screening software designed to block offending transmissions, denying access to the Internet, or take any other action it deems appropriate.
NCI also is concerned with the privacy of on-line communications and web sites. In general, the Internet is neither more nor less secure than other means of communication, including mail, facsimile, and voice telephone service, all of which can be intercepted and otherwise compromised. As a matter of prudence, however, NCI urges its subscribers to assume that all of their on-line communications are insecure. NCI cannot take any responsibility for the security of information transmitted over NCI’s facilities.
NCI will not intentionally monitor private electronic mail messages sent or received by its subscribers unless required to do so by law, governmental authority, or when public safety is at stake. NCI may, however, monitor its service electronically to determine that its facilities are operating satisfactorily. Also, NCI may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a subscriber, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or governmental request. NCI assumes no obligation to inform the subscriber that subscriber information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, NCI may disclose subscriber information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect NCI and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.
Finally, NCI wishes to emphasize that in accepting the service agreement, subscribers indemnify NCI for any violation of the service agreement, law, or NCI policy, that result in loss to NCI or the bringing of any claim against NCI by any third-party. This means that if NCI being sued because of a subscriber’s or customer of a subscriber’s activity, the subscriber will pay any damages awarded against NCI, plus costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying the obligations of Internet users, including NCI and its subscribers, as responsible members of the Internet. Any complaints about a subscriber’s violation of this AUP should be sent to support@ncidata.com.

If NCI has suspended the Service for any reason above, NCI shall require a reconnection fee in order to resume Service and Customer agrees to pay such fee. Termination shall not relieve Customer’s obligation to pay all fees for Service accrued and owing up to and including the date of termination, nor shall it preclude NCI from pursuing any other remedies available to it, at law or in equity. In the event a law or regulatory action prohibits, substantially impairs, or makes impracticable the provision of Service under this Agreement, as determined by NCI, NCI may, at is option and without liability, terminate this Agreement or modify the Service or the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to conform to such action (“Regulatory Modification”); provided, however, that NCI shall provide sixty (60) days written notice prior to Customer of any such Regulatory Modification, unless NCI determines, in its good faith business judgment, that it is necessary to reduce the foregoing notice period. Use by Customer of the Service after implementation of a Regulatory Modification shall constitute acceptance by Customer of such changes.
A. Customer represents and warrants that: it has full right and authority to enter into this Agreement;
B. It will not use the Service in any manner which is in violation of any law or governmental regulation, or NCI’s AUP as amended from time to time by NCI, and which is incorporated by reference herein;

For purposes of this Section 4, “Customer Data” shall mean the text, data, images, sounds, photographs, illustrations, graphics, programs, code and other materials transmitted through the Service hereunder.
Installation of fiber optic (“fiber”) service may require the installation of a leased fiber/Ethernet switch at the customer’s location. The customer agrees to assume all responsibility for properly maintaining this switch in good working order. Customer further agrees to return this switch in good working order (as determined by NCI) upon termination of their service agreement. If the switch is not returned or NCI determines it is not in good working order, NCI may charge Customer for replacement. Upon expiration of Customer’s initial service agreement period, the service agreement will automatically renew for a 12-month period at currently applicable rates. This automatic renewal will continue annually on the anniversary date of the initial service agreement. Customer may cancel by providing a written notice within 30, but not less than 15 days prior to the renewal date.
Unless specifically stated differently in your contract or Services Agreement, NCI Datacom provides Service only for your private, individual residential or individual business location. This is referred to Single End User Service. This mean that your connection and bandwidth (or other services) cannot be redistributed by any means outside of the residence or business served and the connection cannot be used to provide services to others on the internet including but not limited to email, website, gaming or bitcoin servers or servers of any kind.
Where it is desired, NCI Datacom is very interested in working with customers to provide more than Single End User Services. Please contact us to discuss this type of application and how NCI services can be tailored for this use.
