An acceptable use policy is a means to ensure our ability to deliver a quality service to all our customers. It provides a guide to customers as to what activities are not allowed when using the FITbiz.net service. These policies are in place for several reasons:
-
to ensure compliance with the law, both from the customer and from Foundation IT;
-
to ensure no customers abuse the service in a way that is detrimental to other customers;
