Acceptable use must be legal, ethical, and respectful of intellectual property, ownership of data, systems security mechanisms, and individual rights to privacy and freedom from intimidation, harassment and annoyance. An abuse of the privilege of the network use may result in disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by supervising authorities.
