Pinpoint Acceptable Use Policy
Pinpoint has adopted this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") in order to encourage the responsible use of Pinpoint's networks, systems, services, web sites and products (collectively, the "Pinpoint Network and Services") by our customers and other users of the Pinpoint Network and Services (collectively, "Users"), and to enable us to provide Users with secure, reliable and productive services.

Suspension/Termination. Any User which Pinpoint determines to have violated any element of this AUP may be subject to a suspension or termination of service. Pinpoint will suspend service for violation of the AUP on the most limited basis as Pinpoint determines is reasonably practical under the circumstances to address the underlying violation. Pinpoint will attempt to notify Customer prior to suspending service for violation of the AUP (which may be via email or any other notification); provided, however, Pinpoint may suspend service without notice if Pinpoint becomes aware of a violation of any applicable law or regulation or activity, including but not limited to a violation of the AUP, that exposes Pinpoint to criminal or civil liability or that exposes the Pinpoint network or Pinpoint customers' network or property to harm. Such harm to a network may include, but is not limited to, risk of having an IP address placed on blacklists. Pinpoint may take such further action as Pinpoint determines to be appropriate under the circumstances to eliminate or preclude repeat violations, and Pinpoint shall not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by any Customer, User, or any third party resulting in whole or in part from Pinpoint's exercise of its rights under this AUP.
