Interpretation
Scope
The AUP defines and regulates the use of the Service and the User must comply with it following also every specific recommendation Primetel may in its discretion make to the User from time to time.
Illegal Use
During the use of the Services the User may have access to web pages of
specific content or to particular services through them and must be 18
years old as defined by law. The Network may be used only for lawful
purposes. Transmission, distribution or storage of any material in
violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This
includes, without limitation, material protected by copyright,
trademark, trade name, trade secret or intellectual property rights or
any other right used without proper authorisation and material that is
obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat or violates any law
or regulation.
1. The Network
1.1. The User acknowledges that Primetel is unable to exercise control
over the content of the information passing over the Network and
therefore, is not responsible for the content of any message whether or
not the posting was made by a User.

to as “denial of service attacks”).
1.5. Without prejudice to the foregoing, any application that
overloads the Network by whatever means will be considered as making
profligate use of the Network and will as such NOT be permitted. Use of
IP multicast other than by means provided and co-ordinated by Primetel
is likewise prohibited.
1.6. The User acknowledges that the availability of the Services is
also dependent upon reasonable usage of the Network. The User further
acknowledges that Primetel reserves the right to manage the Traffic of
Users whose usage Primetel considers to be either not consistent with or
appropriate for the Services or detrimental to the other Users who
share the Network.
1.7. Users sending or receiving malicious or illegal material or
Traffic will be suspended or disconnected upon detection by Primetel.

responsible for the origination of such material or Traffic, in which
case Primetel will work with the User to resolve the issue and restore
normal service as efficiently as possible.

or civil liability. Primetel will co-operate fully with investigations
of suspected criminal violations, violation of systems or Network
security under the leadership of law enforcement bodies or other
appropriate authorities.

with all appropriate authorities if a criminal violation is suspected.
Examples of system or network security violations include, without
limitation, the following:
2.1.1. Unauthorised access to or use of data, systems or networks,

system without the express authorisation of the owner of the system or
