accounts except for measurements of system utilization and the
preparation of billing records. However, in our efforts to
promote good citizenship within the Internet community, we will
respond appropriately if we become aware of inappropriate use of

your service without notice. We prefer to advise
customers of inappropriate behavior and any necessary corrective
action, however, flagrant violations of the Acceptable Use
Policy will result in immediate termination of service. Our
