Gene’s Telecom also reserves the right to take such action as may be necessary to protect the integrity of the system, including, but not limited to, regular system monitoring, as well as port scanning and shutting down of ports affected by viruses, worms or other malicious code and disclose any information concerning users necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or lawful request.

This policy may be clarified or modified periodically. Any member who does not agree to abide by all of the terms of this policy should not continue to use the Service.

The failure of Gene’s Telecom to enforce this Policy, for whatever reason, shall not be construed as waiver of any right to do so at any time.
