Misuse of Home IP Services

Any existing law (federal or state) or University regulation or policy apply to the use of your Home IP account. Misuse may result in the cancellation of the service, and if appropriate, reporting the incident to appropriate University or legal authorities.

Rules concerning student conduct or use of University facilities are set forth in both University policies and campus regulations, copies of which are available upon request at the Office of Student Activities and Services, 102 Sproul Hall. You should pay particular attention to the booklet Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing University Policies.

The Berkeley campus actively supports the official policy of the University of California on sexual harassment. Specifically, it should be understood that electronic services are not anonymous, and may not be used for any harassing activities. Any reported activities perceived by the complainant to be sexual harassment will be dealt with immediately upon notice.

A continued pattern of non-active connections during hours of modem saturation will be considered grounds to terminate a Home IP account. A non-active connection is defined as one which does not have a person sitting in front of the remote client and actively using the connection. It is the responsibility of the user to known when peak hours are. Modem usage graphs are posted daily to the Usenet newsgroup ucb.net.stats and to the Web at http://ack.berkeley.edu/dcns/modems/modem-stats.html. If you are unsure of saturation hours we recommend that you disconnect your Home IP session when you are not using it.

Attempting to thwart the idle timer is grounds for the termination of your Home IP account.

It will be the practice of the network administrator to suspend use of a Home IP account if it is found to be used for any activity in conflict with the terms and conditions of use. The suspension will continue until the situation is resolved following established due process.
