L/ al14666 City Clerk 8 Attachment A Northern Illinois University Acceptable Use Policy Overview This Policy is a guide to the acceptable use of Services. By Customer.Any Customer connected to NIU's network in order to use it directly,or to connect to any other network(s),must comply with this policy and the stated purposes and Acceptable Use policies of any other network(s) or host(s) used.Customer is responsible for the activity of its users and for ensuring that its users are familiar with this policy or an equivalent policy. In addition, Customer is encouraged to maintain and enforce its own Acceptable Use policies.The provisions of this policy govern all use of the Services,including any unsupervised anonymous network access offered by Customer.The following guidelines will be applied to determine whether or not a particular use of the Services is appropriate: (1) Users must respect the privacy of others.Users shall not intentionally seek information on,or represent themselves as,another user unless explicitly authorized to do so by that user. Nor shall Users obtain copies of,or modify files,other data,or passwords belonging to others. (2)Users must respect the legal protection applied to programs,data, photographs, music,written documents and other material as provided by copyright,trademark, patent,licensure and other proprietary rights mechanisms. (3) Users must respect the integrity of other public or private computing and network systems.Users shall not intentionally develop or use programs that harass other users or infiltrate any other computer, computing system or network and/or damage or alter the software components or file systems of a computer,computing system or network. (4)Use should be consistent with guiding ethical statements and accepted community standards.Use of the Services for malicious,fraudulent,or misrepresentative purposes is not acceptable. (5)The Services may not be used in ways that violate applicable laws or regulations. (6)The Services may not be used in a manner that precludes or significantly hampers network access by others. Nor may the Services be used in a manner that significantly impairs access to other networks connected to NIU. (7) Connections which create routing patterns that are inconsistent with the effective and shared use of the Services may not be established. (8)Users are prohibited from sending unsolicited advertising,whether commercial or informational in nature to addresses that have not specifically requested such material. (9)Repeated,unsolicited and/or unwanted communication of an intrusive nature is strictly prohibited.Continuing to send e-mail messages or other communications to an individual or organization after being asked to stop is not acceptable. 9 The intent of this policy is to identify certain types of uses that are not appropriate,but this policy does not necessarily enumerate all possible inappropriate uses.Using the guidelines given above, NIU may at any time make a determination that a particular use is not appropriate. NIU will not monitor or judge the content of information transmitted via the Services,but will investigate complaints or abusive data stream patterns of possible inappropriate use. In the course of investigating complaints, NIU staff will safeguard the privacy of all parties and will themselves follow the guidelines given in this policy and in NIU's Privacy Policy. NIU will only release sensitive,confidential or personally identifiable information to third parties when required by law, or when in NIU's judgment,release is required to prevent serious injury or harm that could result from violation of this policy. Remedial Action When NIU learns of possible inappropriate use, NIU staff will notify the Customer,who must take immediate remedial action and inform NIU of its action. NIU will assist the Customer in identifying the nature and source of the inappropriate use and in implementing remedial action if requested. Provided the Customer implements remedial action promptly,NIU will take no further action. If NW is unable to contact Customer or if Customer is unable to implement remedial action, NIU reserves the right to pursue remedial action independently.Wherever possible, NIU will pursue remedial action with the least impact to the overall service for the Customer. Should the situation be considered an emergency,and NIU deems it necessary to prevent further inappropriate activity, NIU may temporarily disconnect a Customer.An emergency is defined as: "Serious security incidents that require immediate attention to prevent harm to an individual,to protect information from loss or damage that would be difficult or impossible to correct or to deal with serious on-going denial of service attacks."If temporary disconnection is deemed necessary by NIU staff, every effort will be made to inform Customer prior to disconnection, and every effort will be made to re-establish the connection as soon as it is mutually deemed safe. 10 Attachment B [Attach final Service Order Form(s)numbered in sequence(i.e..B-1,B-2,B-3,etc.)] 11 SERVICE ORDER FORM B-1 NIU Broadband SoluUanx As a Service Order to the Services Agreement between City of Elgin and NIU commencing March 1, 2019 Attachment: 61 Description: City of Elgin Renewal of NIUNet ISP and G.8032 protection Contact and Notice Information Northern Illinois University ("NIU") !City of Elgin CONTACT: Dorf Admin Services(c/o Matt Parks) COMPANY CONTACT: Jeff Massey PHONE:815-753-1071 _ PHONE: 847-931-5642 EMAIL:DoITAdminServices@niu.edu EMAIL: masseyj@cityofelgin.org PAYMENT ADDRESS: Commercial Accounts Receivable BILLING ADDRESS: Bursars Office 150 Dexter Court Northern Illinois University Elgin, IL 60120-5555 1425 W.Lincoln Highway DeKalb, IL 60115 Billing Information and Service Commitment Period Order Type/Term Renewal /36 month Billing cycle (select one): Annual 3/1/2019-2/28/2022 Actual Service Start and End Date: 3/1/2019-2/28/2022 Service Order Monthly Recurring Charge(select one): 1Gps of Internet access $2000/month G.8032 ring protection for intemet acces $250/month Service Order Non-recurring Charge: n/a Other Charges: n/a Service Description ISP Service connection consists Symmetrical Internet Access.
