• Circumvent, reverse engineer, decipher, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise alter or interfere with (or attempt, encourage, or support anyone else’s attempt to engage in such activities) any of the software comprising or in any way making up a part of <<service>>. The use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security (e.g., password guessing programs, cracking tools or network probing tools) is strictly prohibited;
• Take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our network or infrastructure;
• Upload or otherwise transmit any communication, software, or material that contains a virus or is otherwise harmful to the computers, devices or systems of NI4OS-Europe, the provider or its users; or

The user agrees that we reserve the right to monitor all content. The user further agrees that while we reserve the right to remove content in our sole discretion for any reason, we have no duty to do so. We also reserve the right to turn over any content to law enforcement officials. Violations of system or network security and certain other conduct may result in civil or criminal liability. We may investigate and work with law enforcement authorities to prosecute users who violate the access policy. We may suspend or terminate your access to <<service>> for any or no reason at any time without notice.
