By accepting the Policy and using the Service, you signify your agreement to the terms, conditions, and notices of this Policy. “You” when used in this statement shall mean the users of the Access Device(s). For purposes of this Policy, any actions that JSCC may take with regard to your use of the Service may also be performed by JSCC’s third party service providers.

If you violate any of the provisions of this Policy, JSCC may take action to restrict or terminate your access to the Service, including access to any Internet websites associated with the Service. JSCC reserves the right, at its discretion, to update or revise this Policy, any other policy or statement on any JSCC website, and any product offerings or programs described on any JSCC website. Please check back periodically to review any changes to this Policy.

Use of the Service for any purpose that is unlawful or in any manner which could damage, disable, overburden or impair the operation of the JSCC Network or the Service or any other party’s use or enjoyment of the JSCC Network or the Service, is strictly prohibited. Specifically, you may not:

• Attempt to use or gain unauthorized access to data, accounts, hosts, servers, systems or networks associated with the Service or with JSCC, or to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network associated with the Service, JSCC or those of any other party.
• Interfere with Service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail-bombing, flooding, or attempting to overload the system.
• Use the Service to engage in activities that violate any terms or conditions of any other network access provider or Internet service provider.
• Forge any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an e-mail or a newsgroup posting.
• Falsify address information or otherwise modify e-mail headers to conceal the sender’s or the recipient’s identity.
• Additionally, you may not, by use of the Service or another service, upload, post or otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution of any content, including text, communications, software, images, sounds, data, or other information that, in JSCC’s discretion:
• Is unlawful, abusive, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, and invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, pornographic, or inaccurate.
• Is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter.
• Contains viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another’s computer.
• Has a negative effect on JSCC or its networks (including, without limitation, overloading servers on the JSCC networks; causing portions of the JSCC networks to be blocked by other network providers; generating unresolved third party complaints or complaints which, in the discretion of JSCC, impose an unreasonable administrative burden on the service provider or College).
• Constitutes unsolicited duplicative e-mail (commercial or otherwise). This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited and/or mass e-mailings such as the following:
  • E-mail from any JSCC account or via another service which in any way implicates the use of this site or the Service, JSCC equipment or any JSCC e-mail address;
  • E-mail relayed from any JSCC or third party’s mail servers without permission;
  • E-mail employing techniques to hide or obscure the source of the e-mail;
  • E-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through the JSCC Network that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing that may be deemed to be counterfeit. A communication may be unsolicited if recipients’ email addresses were not obtained through a personal or customer relationship between recipient and sender, recipients did not affirmatively consent to receive communications from sender, or recipients have opted out of receiving communications from sender when given notice of the opportunity to do so.
