Internet Access Abuse and Security
Abuse is any action that violates
Integra's Acceptable Use Policy. Abuse falls into three main categories:
- Unwanted Electronic Mail (spam, virus/spam or spamvertizing)
- Network Abuse (general viruses, hacking, port scanning)
- Other Abuses (copyright infringement, harassment, other illegal or unlawful activity)
Abuse Mitigation Process
Integra Telecom has an abuse mitigation process that is designed to track and resolve abuse issues. Throughout the process, Integra's abuse mitigation specialists work with customers to resolve abuse complaints. When practical, Integra typically gives customers five business days to correct abuse issues. In some circumstances, such as claims of copyright infringement relating to customer created or communicated content or other complaints requiring prompt resolution, Integra Telecom may require that the claim be resolved within 24 hours. In most cases, customers are able to resolve abuse issues with Integra's assistance. Failure to resolve abuse issues, or multiple claims made against a customer arising from related conduct, may result in service interruption and an administration fee assessment.
