l. Network disruptions and unfriendly activity.
Using the Services for any activity which adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use TAGLEROCK TECHNOLOGIES Services or the Internet. This includes "denial of service" (DoS) attacks against another network host or individual user. Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services or network equipment is prohibited. It is the subscriber''s responsibility to ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. A subscriber may not, through action or inaction, allow others to use their network for illegal or inappropriate actions. A subscriber may not permit their network, through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or inappropriate manner.

m. Forums and Newsgroups.
Users should always use their best judgment when posting to any newsgroup or forum. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQs, or "community standards" describing what is and is not considered appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable resource if used properly. The continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial advertisements are off-topic in most newsgroups, especially regional groups not specifically named for such. The presence of such articles in a group is not indicative of the group''s "intended" use. Please familiarize yourself with basic Usenet netiquette before posting to a newsgroup.

n. Prolonged Resource Usage.
Using an account at a volume that disrupts the service for others is prohibited. The Services are intended for active, but periodic use of email, newsgroups, file transfers, web programming, web pages, Internet chat, games, and related web site services. Running web applications or programs that consume enough resources to directly disrupt or affect the quality of service for others is expressly prohibited. Accordingly, TAGLEROCK TECHNOLOGIES maintains the right to terminate any customer''s term if they do not follow the agreement carefully. Generally, TAGLEROCK TECHNOLOGIES will notify the customer that their usage is beyond what is acceptable and require the customer to change to a plan that is more suitable for the customer''s usage.
