Users are responsible for configuring their own systems to provide the maximum possible accountability. Nanosek shall not be liable for any damage caused by such system configurations regardless of whether such configurations have been authorized or requested by Nanosek. For example, Users should ensure there are clear “path” lines in news headers so that the originator of a post may be identified. Users should also configure their Mail Transport Agents (MTA) to authenticate (by look-up on the name or similar procedures) any system that connects to perform a mail exchange, and should generally present header data as clearly as possible.

Some Users may be customers of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that receive Internet connectivity through Nanosek. Such ISPs (also known as resellers or downstream service providers) are responsible for informing their customers of this Acceptable Use Policy and for enforcing its restrictions with regard to their customers’ actions. Complaints about customers of any such reseller or downstream service provider shall be forwarded to such reseller or downstream service provider for resolution. If at any time Nanosek determines that such reseller or downstream service provider is not taking appropriate action in accordance with this Acceptable Use Policy, Nanosek shall work with such reseller or downstream service provider to review their policies and enforcement procedures. If the reseller or downstream service provider continues to fail to take appropriate action, Nanosek will take such further action as it deems appropriate.
