It is a requirement of the Trinet Ltd Terms and Conditions that all users of its network or services accept and adhere to the company's Acceptable Use Policy for Internet Access. Trinet may change this policy to include changes in the law or in the acceptable practice of internet use and reserves the right to make such changes without notice and whenever required. The current version of the Trinet Acceptable Use Policy will be published on the web at http://www.trinet.co.uk/info/aup and all users are responsible for ensuring that they have read and understand the current policy.
Compliance with this Acceptable Use Policy is a contractual requirement. If you fail to observe the terms of this policy your account or service may be liable to termination or suspension. In the event that an account is suspended, Trinet may be prepared, at its sole discretion, to restore the account on receipt of a written statement that the user will not commit any further abuse of the service.
Trinet's relationship with its clients, its partners and other network providers depends on responsible conduct from all users. The Company will not hesitate to protect itself and other clients and networks should any form of abuse be found to be occurring.
Sending and receiving email involves the same responsibilities and approach as would be used when sending or receiving any other form of communication - written or printed mail, fax, telephone call etc. Most users fully understand what would be considered appropriate and acceptable when communicating with others and apply these considerations to their use of email. There are occasions when some users send mail or engage in online communication that others consider unacceptable - generally regarded as abuse by the online community.
If you find it difficult to determine what might be considered 'abuse' with online communication you should realise that, in general terms, anything that might be unacceptable, and possibly illegal, in other forms of communication will be equally unacceptable and possibly illegal online.
Customers who abuse the Trinet email service will be notified that their behaviour is unacceptable and may have their accounts suspended, terminated or blocked.
The Company reserves the right to restrict or block internet traffic to or from a Customer server, without prior notification, in the event of a failure to abide by the published terms of the Acceptable Use Policy. This may include, but not exclusively, the transmission of unsolicited email or the presence of an open mail relay.
If a customer account or service is suspended or blocked due to abuse, then service may be restored at Trinet's sole discretion and generally will only be restored on receipt of a written assurance of future compliance with this Policy and on payment of an administrative charge for restoration of service.
Web usage includes the use of web space provided with client accounts, web hosting on Trinet servers and the use of web services and space on customer colocated servers.
Trinet cannot and does not proactively monitor content on any web space maintained by customers (whether customer space, web hosted or colocated services) and cannot and does not guarantee that such sites are free of illegal content or other materials that may be considered unacceptable.
Trinet may undertake investigation of content services if potential abuse is brought to its attention and reserves the right to remove any web page on our servers at any time and for any reason.
Please address all complaints about abuse of Trinet services to abuse@trinet.co.uk.
Trinet ltd reserves the right to investigate suspected or potential abuse of its Acceptable Use Policy. If we become aware of possible abuse, either through our own investigations or through referral by another user or by a third party, we may begin an investigation that may include gathering information from all potential parties and materials on our servers. Trinet reserves the right to suspend accounts or access during such investigations and/or to remove materials from servers (on a temporary or permanent basis). All actions will be determined on an individual basis and will not be taken to form any precedent.
Trinet customers who engage in abuse of the network and/or the internet will be notified that their behaviour is unacceptable and may have their accounts suspended or terminated. If a customer account or service is suspended or blocked due to abuse, then service may be restored at Trinet's sole discretion and generally will only be restored on receipt of a written assurance of future compliance with this Policy and on payment of an administrative charge for restoration of service.
All Trinet users acknowledge that the Company may be required by current or future legislation to access, store, copy or otherwise Customer data stored within or transmitted by our service. By accepting this Acceptable Use Policy you expressly agree that we may access and use your personal data or other account information in connection with any such investigation and may disclose such data to any third party who has a legitimate interest in the data, investigation or outcome.
Trinet reserves the right to terminate service, with immediate effect and without further obligation or liability to Customers, as required by any law enforcement authority or by the Courts of the United Kingdom.
Trinet does not tolerate abusive behaviour from anyone and reserves the right to terminate, without further notice or refund, the services of any customer or user who demonstrates abusive, intolerant, violent, verbally abusive or threatening behaviour towards Trinet, its staff, contractors, customers or other users.
Trinet undertakes to take action required under the provisions of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, Terrorism Act 2006 and or other relevant legislation and will fully cooperate with the appropriate UK authorities.
