Appendix 1 to the Agreement
NETWORK USAGE POLICY

The Internet is a global association of computer networks and information resources owned by many different individuals and organizations. This association is decentralized, and there is no single universally binding set of rules governing Internet use. However, there are generally accepted norms intended to ensure that the activities of each user do not interfere with others. The fundamental principle is that the rules for using any Internet resource (from a mailbox to a communication channel) are determined solely by the owners of those resources.

This document describes generally accepted norms of Internet use, compliance with which is mandatory for all users. These norms apply to the use of Network resources. Hereinafter, the term “Network” refers to the Internet and other accessible networks.
