17. ACCESS POLICY

We recognise the wishes of our Networks' to be able to access as wide a range of communications and information on the Internet as possible and do not wish to restrict that access. However, we will not knowingly permit the transmission of or access to material that is deemed illegal by the UK authorities.

In view of the vast flow of information transmitted by an Internet Service Provider each day, it is not technically possible nor economically feasible to monitor all materials that pass through its system. We believe that the onus for ensuring that material presented on the Internet is legal rests with the original content provider, and we will not limit access to material unless notified by the authorities that it is illegal.

Co-ordination of these matters with the authorities in the UK is handled by the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a body supported by UK Internet Service Providers, the Department of Trade and Industry and Police Authorities. If particular information is deemed to be illegal by the authorities the IWF will advise Internet Service Providers such as ourselves accordingly, and we will take steps to prevent access to it.

If you feel that the contents of any site may breach the UK law, you should contact the Internet Watch Foundation hotline and draw their attention to it. Details can be found at http://www.internetwatch.org.uk/hotline.

We would remind you that our Terms and Conditions of supply for the ISP service prohibit you from using the service to transmit defamatory, offensive or abusive material or material of an obscene or menacing character. It may also be illegal for you to receive such information.

18. ACCESS FOR CHILDREN

You should note that there may be material accessible via the Internet which is unsuitable for children.

Where children may be users, we suggest: -

You do not allow unsupervised access and keep your password to yourself.
You consider downloading running on application which allows you to restrict access from your computer to certain areas of the Internet.
