Effective January 1, 2001
Rev. February 5, 2003

6.1 Each Customer is responsible for any misuse of Customer's Service, even if a guest or employee committed the inappropriate activity. Therefore, each Customer is responsible to take steps to ensure that others do not gain unauthorized access to their SCC Service account. In addition, a Customer may not use the Service to breach security of another account, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to another network or server.

6.2 Each Customer is responsible for adopting adequate security measures to prevent or minimize unauthorized use of Customer's SCC Service account, since the Customer will be held responsible for such use.

6.3 Attempting to obtain access to another user's account is prohibited.

6.4 No Customer may attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network or account ("cracking"). This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for Customer, logging into or making use of a server or account Customer is not expressly authorized to access, or probing the security of other networks.

6.5 Use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security is prohibited. Examples of these tools include, but are not limited to, password guessing programs, cracking tools or network probing tools.

6.6 Attempting to interfere with service to any user, host, or network ("denial of service attacks") is also prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, "flooding" of networks, deliberate attempts to overload a service, and attempts to "crash" a host.

6.7 Users who violate systems or network security will incur criminal or civil liability. SCC will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations.

6.8 Internet customers using wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) or other wireless technology for the purpose of the allowable Internet communication within a house, apartment unit, or business must be set up and operated through the use of encryption or password protected technology to prevent unauthorized users to gain access to SCC’s broadband Internet service via the Internet customer’s wireless network.
