Wireless Beach Access has published this Acceptable Use Policy as part of our overall effort to provide high quality, reliable service to our customers; protect the privacy and security of our customers, systems, and networks; encourage responsible use of Wireless Beach Access's and other ISPs' resources; and comply with applicable laws. This Policy describes the types of uses of the Wireless Beach Access Network which are contrary to our objectives and which are, therefore, prohibited. To achieve our objectives, Wireless Beach Access may in its sole discretion determine whether a use of the Wireless Beach Access Network is a violation of this Policy. While it is not Wireless Beach Access's intent to monitor, control, or censor communications on the Wireless Beach Access Network, when we become aware of a violation of this Policy, we may take such action as we deem appropriate to address the violation, as referenced below.

This Policy applies to all customers of Wireless Beach Access's services, and to all other users of the Wireless Beach Access Network.
