Schedule 1
Rules and Regulations

These Rules and Regulations intend to ensure the functionality of the Network and the Internet services operated on this Network from both a functional and qualitative point of view and to urge the user to act responsibly when using the Internet, especially in order to avoid unreasonable injury to other users' interests.

We employ leading edge technical professionals to build, test, configure, monitor and protect the Network. We actively engage in industry ‘best practice' in terms of Cyber Security and utilise an array of tools, techniques and technical proficiency to both detect and protect the Network from attack. We have set in place, adhere to and audit, leading IT Security Control Frameworks such as ISO 27001:2013 and PCI-DSS to offer our customers a high level of assurance that our systems are secure.

1. GENERAL GUIDELINES
   1. Any use of the Network or of the Internet services operated on or via the Network will be permissible solely within the framework of the applicable provisions specified by Gibraltar law and within the framework of the service offering contractually agreed upon with the Customer.
      
      This means in particular that the Network must not be used for sending, receiving or distributing content that:
      1. constitutes offences such as sedition, forbidden right-wing or left-wing extremist propaganda, invasion of personal privacy including insult, libel and defamation or distribution of pornographic literature or
      2. violates a third party's rights such as the right to bear a name, the right of personality, copyrights, competition and trademark laws.
      
      Any user must also observe the legal provisions concerning data protection and the protection of a third party's privacy.
   2. The use of the Network or the Service by minors is subject to a parent or guardian's consent. The person vested with the right of the minor's education must ensure that the minor cannot use the Network for accessing content that is morally harmful to youth.
   3. In addition to the above, the Network must not be misused for improper purposes. Such improper purposes (“misuse”) include but are not limited to all kinds of use that impairs the integrity and performance of the Network or its parts to an extent exceeding what has been contractually agreed upon, and the use of the Network for distributing, loading or publishing data that could violate or impair a third party's rights or constitute threat or insecurity to a third party.
   4. It is not permissible to use the Network or the services available on or via this Network for obtaining data or information that is not intended for the user. This also includes the misuse of the Network for the purpose of copying, tapping or intercepting messages and/or other information that is not intended for the user.
   5. It is not permissible to use the Network for circumventing security mechanisms that protect computers or computer systems, networks or network access facilities, for gaining unauthorised access to computer systems (“hacking”), for performing activities in preparation for the unauthorised access to a computer system (e.g. port scans) or for impairing the performance of a computer, computer system or network to an extent that goes beyond the services commonly rendered (e.g. denial of service attacks).
   6. It is not permissible to use the Network for distributing programs that serve the purpose of either causing damage to other users or computer systems (e.g. virus infection programs) or gaining unauthorised access to computer systems (e.g. Trojan horses).
2. LOG-IN PLATFORMS
   1. The use of any log-in platform that provides access to the Network and/or the Service is restricted to Customers having a contractually agreed access right.
   2. The access data (including Usernames and passwords) that is given to the Customer for access to the Network or Service must be treated confidentially. Passwords protecting the access must be kept securely, checked and modified if unauthorised use by a third party is discovered.
3. HOSTED SERVERS
   1. Any server platforms operated on the Network may be used exclusively for providing content or programs or for operating applications, which, when published or operated, do not offend against existing Gibraltar law or cannot be misused as defined in section 1 above.
   2. Content, programs or applications available on the servers must neither offend against existing Gibraltar law nor be useable for improper purposes. It is not admissible to use hyperlinks for downloading third-party content, programs or applications, which offend against existing Gibraltar law or can be misused as defined in section 1 above.
   3. In the event that a server operated on the Network is used for offering content that is available to the general public, the user offering such content must ensure that the offered content cannot be used by any third party, in any form, for the publishing of or linking to content, programs or applications, which offend against existing Gibraltar law or can be misused as defined above.
   4. The provisioning of adult content, which does not constitute a punishable act, is subject to U‑MEE's express prior consent. However, the user providing such content must ensure that any such adult content that is likely to or may impair the physical, mental or moral development of minors cannot be accessed by minors.
   5. If the content that is provided by the user through the Network represents a commercial offer, the user shall comply with any legal requirements relating to such commercial activities.
   6.
