[04] WHAT ARE YOUR POLICIES?
limitations and policy
The SDF Public Access UNIX System, a 501©7 non-profit corporation, reserves the right to deny access to anyone regardless if the user has made a donation or paid membership dues. If a user's activities are interferring with another user or users (on this system or on another) the user in question will have their account access limited or possibly removed. Spamming of any sort is not permitted and would result in account removal. Illegal activities that actively involve SDF (id est, using SDF to run crack or for guessing passwords and/or trading copyrighted work) will most likely result in account removal.
The SDF Public Access UNIX System makes no guarantees in the reliability or preservation of account accessibility, email received, files uploaded or created by online editing or compilation. That being said, data loss should only occur during a catastrophic hardware failure where critical files would be restored from daily tape backups.
Members of the SDF Public Access UNIX System are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner when using our facilities.
Lifetime ARPA membership is based on the lifetime of SDF, not of the user and is non-transferable. SDF has existed since 1987 and with your support maybe it just might out live you. 
Any illegal activities which includes, but certainly isn't limited to spamming, portflooding, portscanning, unauthorised connections to remote hosts and any sort of scam can really not be tolerated here. Why? Because there are many here on this system that can suffer from this sort of abuse. If you want to use SDF, you really have to care about this system and the people here. If you don't want to care, then you really shouldn't use this resource.
