Introduction
DCLLABS.net does not actively monitor nor exercise editorial control over the content of any Web site, electronic mail transmission, mailing list, news group or other material created or accessible over the DCLLABS.net network. However, DCLLABS.net reserves the right to remove any materials that, in DCLLABS.net's sole discretion, are potentially illegal, may subject DCLLABS.net to liability, or violate this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). Violation of this Policy may result in the suspension or cancellation of your services, to be determined in the sole discretion of DCLLABS.net. DCLLABS.net also reserves the right to cooperate with legal authorities and/or injured third parties in the investigation of any suspected crime or civil wrong.

Violations or Articles of the AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) for DCLLABS.net:

1. Exporting software or technical information in violation of U.S export control laws.
2. Any 'e-mail' user account exceeding 15MB. Any transmissions to a mailbox that is near or at capacity of 15Mb could be refused. Clients must maintain sufficient free space in their mailbox to handle incoming traffic. Additional capacity is available for purchase. Webmail is to be used as a convenience only. Large amounts of e-mail should be downloaded to your e-mail client and are not expected to stay on our servers. We are not set up to keep large amounts of e-mail on our servers. Anyone doing so, gives DCLLABS.Net the right to delete excessive e-mail to keep from locking up their e-mail account and storing large amounts of e-mail on our systems. If such cases are suspected, we will warn users via e-mail in advance. If the account user continues to abuse this privilege, account e-mail boxes could be locked.
3. Revealing your account password to others or allowing use of your account by others (other than authorized users in your household).

Unlimited Service
You acknowledge that DCLLABS.net's service is intended for periodic, active use of e-mail, user newsgroups, file transfers via FTP and browsing the World Wide Web. You further agree not to use the service as a dedicated connection, or a connection that is actively or inactively in use for 24 hours a day. DCLLABS.net reserves the right to monitor any heavily active or inactive account, and reserves the right to terminate any connection that is inactive for more than thirty (45) minutes or for a session lasting longer than six (18) continuous hours. The DCLLABS.net FTP Servers will automatically terminate inactive sessions after (8) minutes. DCLLABS.net also reserves the right to suspend, cancel, or upgrade an "unlimited service" account to a "dedicated connection" account in the event the Customer or User is using the service as a dedicated connection. The use of pinging, or any other technologies that mimic an activity or "dedicated connection" is expressly prohibited.

Unsolicited Electronic Mail
Sending unsolicited electronic mail (e-mail) messages where the recipient objects to the content of the message or to the receipt of the message in general is also prohibited under this Acceptable Use Policy. You acknowledge that you are expressly prohibited from utilizing DCLLABS.nets' service, DCLLABS.nets' equipment or DCLLABS.nets' e-mail addresses in connection with the sending of the same or substantially similar unsolicited e-mail message, whether commercial or not, to a large number of recipients. This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service which in any way implicates the use of DCLLABS.nets' service, DCLLABS.nets' equipment or any DCLLABS.nets' e-mail address(es) or IP address(es).

Unsolicited Newsgroup Postings
A message is unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a USENET or newsgroup charter and/or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. For purposes of this provision, merely making one's e-mail address accessible to the public shall not constitute a request or invitation to receive messages. You agree that you will not utilize the DCLLABS.nets' equipment or any DCLLABS.nets' e-mail address in connection with the transmission of the same or substantially similar unsolicited message to 10 or more recipients, or 10 or more newsgroups in a single day. For each day upon which this provision is violated, you agree to pay $50.00 per day for an unintentional violation of this provision, but where warranted, such as in the case of an accidental transmission. In cases of willful violations of this provision, you agree to pay DCLLABS.net up to $1,000.00 per day. You agree that DCLLABS.net, at its sole discretion, shall determine whether such a violation was unintentional or willful. Payment by member under this provision shall not prevent DCLLABS.net from canceling the DCLLABS.net Service in its sole discretion, or seeking to obtain any other legal remedies against member, including monetary damages or injunctive relief or any other remedy provided by law. Subscriber agrees to pay any legal, or other fees, incurred by DCLLABS.net in pursuing such legal remedies, in the event DCLLABS.net prevails on any material issue or claim brought as a result of the above described activity.
