Acceptable Use Policy

The Internet is an emerging communications technology where national and international standards of use, data protection conventions, direct marketing codes of practise and established commercial practices are still being defined. As a pragmatic "acceptable use policy"

We require you not to

* modify, access or make available data stored on a computer or device which you have accessed through our network, when either
 

- the owner of the data, computer or device has taken steps to prevent you from doing this or
- the owner has expressed a wish that you not do this.
 

* use our network in any way to send unsolicited or unwanted non-commercial or commercial email (spam) - if you send mail that's unsolicited or unwanted and/or commercial then UK Fantastic has the right to unilaterally remove your account. Furthermore we reserve the right to charge for the use of our resources and staff in dealing with the consequences of mass mailings conducted through our network in any way.

If you have any doubts about whether a particular email is 'spam' and therefore in breach of our acceptable use policy please send an email to info@ukf.co.uk and we will advise you.

We require you to

* respect the privacy, feelings and resources of your fellow Internet users.

UK Fantastic retains the absolute right to disconnect any user from its Free Internet Access Service where UK Fantastic considers the user to be contravening its acceptable use policy or any other aspect of its full terms and conditions listed below. UK Fantastic reserves the right to alter its Acceptable Use Policy without prior notification.

Core Conditions of Use

1. The service is free because UK Fantastic will not charge the user any monthly or annual service fees for the use of UK Fantastic's Free Internet Access Service.
2. The user will remain obligated to paying for the local telephone call charges at the rates publicised by the telephone operator with whom they make their local calls. The contract and charges for the telephony access to the UK Fantastic Free Internet Access Service lie between the user and their telephony service provider not UK Fantastic. The charges for the users local rate 0845 calls will appear on the bill received from their telephony service provider.
3. Access will only be granted to those customers providing Caller ID information. The user will not be able to connect to our free service if they dial 141 before the dial-in number, disabling CLI identification. This is a measure we are taking to prevent the abuse of our network by people sending un-solicited commercial email or "spam". UK Fantastic terminates its calls at a licensed public telephony operator with its own switching facilities and is supplied with the CLI information automatically irrespective of whether the user dials 141, and can trace the origin of any call terminating at the equipment. We are therefore barring 141 access only for reasons of administrative efficiency. The users' phone number will not be made available to any third party for commercial purposes and will only be used internally to verify our service provision.
4. Uploads to the user's web space will be limited to 20 Mb.
5. UK Fantastic will not permit FTP access to the user' web site or POP3 access to their e-mail from outside of its network. Further more direct SMTP connections from outside of UK Fantastic's network will also be barred.
6. Where a user has not been online with UK Fantastic for 90 days UK Fantastic may deactivate and remove the account, including email addresses and web-space from its service.
