Overview

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) explains what you can and cannot do when using Port Networks services, including our Internet and mobile (wireless/MVNO) services.

We wrote this in plain English on purpose. If something looks like abuse, it probably is.

We may act without notice if necessary to protect the network.

For mobile services, Port Networks operates using underlying carrier networks. You agree that:

  • carrier rules and restrictions apply
  • we may enforce those rules even if not listed here
Updates

We may update this AUP from time to time. Continued use of the service means you accept the updated policy.
