Every
Subscriber is responsible for his or her own end users. It is therefore the responsibility of every
Subscriber to ensure that his or her end users understand and adhere to this
policy. Violations of
this policy by a third party will be considered a violation by the Subscriber
of the Services.
In
addition to immediate suspension or termination of the Services, a violation of
any of the foregoing prohibitions may result in a civil or criminal
prosecution. Millry will assist
authorities in the investigation of incidents involving such violations. Millry reserves the right to modify the terms
of this AUP in conformance with the Millry Communications Terms and Conditions.
