By accessing and using NEXNET services, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by the above, please do not use this service.
1. No Commercial Use
NEXNET members may not charge for any communications services carried over the NEXNET network.
2. Lawful Communications
The nature of communications is lawful and not in any way linked to criminal or terrorist objectives. NEXNET will cooperate fully with law enforcement and/or Homeland Security in the event NEXNET is abused to further criminal or terrorist oriented goals.
3. Criminal Activity Policy
NEXNET reserves the right to refuse service to any amateur radio operator who has been involved in criminal activity if, in the opinion of NEXNET, the criminal activity brought to our attention is of such a nature as to tarnish NEXNET or the amateur radio community at large. Proof of a conviction is not necessary for refusal of service. Only evidence that participation in a crime has occurred.
4. Professional Conduct
NEXNET members will maintain the level of professionalism in public conferences and RF extensions, that Hams have become known and respected for. Misconduct in a public conference/bridge or RF extensions could result in punitive measures administered by NEXNETOPS, up to and including permanent disconnection of services and re-assignment of the NEXNET number used by the offending member.
5. No Abusive Behavior
NEXNET will not tolerate abusive behavior towards other NEXNET members or the NEXNETOPS team. This includes the practice of “prank calls” or disturbing calling patterns made in a manner with the obvious intent to harass another NEXNET member. NEXNET will vigorously investigate all complaints brought to their team.
6. Club and Organization Responsibility
Clubs & organizations are solely responsible for the conduct in their non-public conference bridges and RF extensions. NEXNET will provide administrative support to organizations when requested to handle issues should they arise.
7. Public Bridge Content Policy
NEXNET does not otherwise police the subject of discussion in public bridges or RF extensions so long as that discussion is done in a respectful way to all parties in a public bridge or RF extension. That means politics and religion are “on the table” so long as they are done respectfully.
8. Private Communications
NEXNET does not police the subject or content of station to station calls over NEXNET. Other than a case of harassment as outlined above, NEXNET will not intervene or interfere in the content or carriage of communications between private parties on the NEXNET network.
9. Network Interference
Intentional interference by spoofing or otherwise attempting to disrupt the NEXNET network will result in immediate banning from the NEXNET network and in severe cases NEXNET will notify law enforcement and tender all available evidence. NEXNET will not tolerate intentional interference to NEXNET systems or member owned endpoints.
