Non-compliance will be considered gross misconduct and, subject to a disciplinary meeting, may lead to dismissal and legal proceedings against the owner. The owner of the dirty box is wholly responsible for any data contained on it and indemnifies Claranet from any possible prosecution under applicable laws relating to said data.
3B: Strictly no peer-2-peer file or link sharing applications to be run, either as a client or server, with the exception of a regular FTP server daemon.
4: The dirty box may not be used for commercial gain, either directly or indirectly. Non-compliance will be considered gross misconduct and subject to a disciplinary meeting may lead to dismissal.
