Acceptable Use Policy
Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively “GTT”) provide services that enable access to GTT’s network and the network of other service providers and that provide customers with the ability to transmit and/or receive information over those networks (collectively, the “Services”). By using any Service in such a manner, you represent, acknowledge, and agree that you and any users (the “Users”) that have direct or indirect access to the Service through your account have read, understood, and agree to abide by this Acceptable Use Policy (the “AUP”). GTT does not pre-screen, censor, edit control or monitor content on any Service, but GTT reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to: (i) remove any content which it determines is illegal, deceptive, harmful, offensive, or otherwise in violation of this AUP; and (ii) suspend or terminate without notice and without liability the Services if a violation of this AUP occurs in GTT’s sole determination. GTT may modify the AUP at any time effective immediately upon posting to this Website. It is the responsibility of each User periodically to check GTT’s website for updates to this AUP. In situations where communications are carried across networks of other service providers, users of the Services must also conform to the applicable acceptable use policies of such other service providers. This AUP should be read in conjunction with our Master Service Agreement and other policies. All Users of the Services are required to comply with this AUP, as well as all applicable laws and regulations. Violating any of this AUP policies grants GTT the authority and permission to take action to restrict or terminate your access to and use of the Services.
1. Violation of this AUP is strictly prohibited. In the event of any actual or potential violation or conduct that is otherwise improper or illegal, GTT reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all the Services. In the event GTT elects to terminate any or all parts of the Services, any penalties and/or charges associated with early termination of service will apply.
2. Users who violate this AUP also may incur criminal or civil liability. GTT may refer violators to civil or law enforcement authorities for prosecution, and will cooperate fully with applicable government authorities in connection with civil or criminal investigations of such violations.

Each User is responsible for immediately reporting to GTT any network issue which could compromise the stability, service, security or any use of the Services, including, without limitation, the unauthorized use of a User's password. Each User is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its password and account information and is responsible for all activities that occur under its password. Therefore, passwords should not be disclosed to unauthorized third parties.

GTT is not responsible for any loss of data as a result of a User’s selection or method of security or routing configurations. In the event that a User requests that GTT perform any work or maintenance on User Equipment, GTT shall not be responsible for any damages, including loss of data, resulting from such work or maintenance.

9.

GTT’s receipt of complaints from Internet users related to emails received due to Users use of “opt in” list shall be a violation of this AUP.
10. Users shall not create, transmit, upload, post, distribute, facilitate distribution in any manner or store any information, content, or material, including without limitation, text, sounds, data, software, images, communications, or other information which:
• Infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party, including, without limitation, the unauthorized copying of copyrighted material, the digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources, and the unauthorized transmittal of copyrighted software, music or movies.

12. Users are prohibited from falsifying user information provided to GTT or to other users in connection with use of the Services.
13. Users are prohibited from engaging in any of the foregoing activities by using the service of another provider, but channeling such activities through a GTT account, remailer, or otherwise through the GTT Services or using a GTT account as a mail drop for responses or otherwise using the services of another provider for the purpose of facilitating the forgoing activities if such use of another party’s service could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Services.
14. GTT considers each of the above listed practices to constitute abuse of its Service. Engaging in one or more of these practices may result in immediate termination without notice of a User’s access to the Services. Users shall be charged an administrative fee of $500 for each incident in violation of this AUP. A violation of this AUP by someone having only indirect access to the Services through a User or other user will be considered a violation by the User whether or not with the knowledge or consent of the User. GTT receives complaints directly from Internet users, through Internet organizations, and through other parties.
15. GTT shall not be required to determine the validity of complaints received before taking action under this AUP. GTT reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether duplicative or mass e-mail messages are “unsolicited.” A complaint from the recipient, whether received directly or through an anti-spamming organization, shall be presumed to be evidence that the message was unsolicited. GTT has no obligation to forward the complaint to the user or to identify the complaining parties.
16. User is responsible for the use of all Services utilized via its connection to the GTT network, including any support services provided via its connection to the GTT network. Support services includes, without limitation, hosting websites, electronic mailboxes, telephony gateways, IRC servers, advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software, program, product or service that is designed to violate this AUP or the AUP of any other Internet services provider. Conduct that directly or indirectly encourages, permits or relies on activities in violation of this AUP, is also a violation of the AUP. Examples include, without limitation, failure to implement technical or administrative measures to prevent mass unsolicited e-mail, or providing Spamming support services such as email drop boxes, sales of spam ware, list washing, and the hosting of “spam-vertised” websites.
17. Nothing contained in this AUP shall be construed to limit GTT’s actions or remedies in any way with respect to any of the foregoing activities, and GTT reserves the right to take any and all additional actions it may deem appropriate with respect to such activities, including without limitation taking action to recover the costs and expenses of identifying offenders and removing them from the GTT service, and levying cancellation charges to cover GTT’s’ costs. GTT will investigate violations of policy and will cooperate with law enforcement officials for any suspected criminal violations. Each User shall also provide cooperation and assistance to GTT and to law enforcement agencies in connection with any request or legal requirement relating to the Service. In addition, GTT reserves at all times all legal and equitable rights and remedies available to it with respect to such activities.
18. User agrees to maintain his/her password as private and confidential information, and not to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks. User agrees that each GTT account may only have one active connection to GTT’s Network at a time.
19. No User may use the Services for any activity which adversely affects the ability of other people or systems to use the Services or the Internet. This includes "denial of service" attacks against another network host or individual user. Interference with or disruption of any other network user, network service or network equipment is prohibited. All Users have the responsibility to ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. Users may not, through action or inaction, allow others to use their network for illegal or inappropriate actions. Users may not permit their network, through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or inappropriate manner.
20. Users should use their best judgment when posting to any newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQs, or "community standards" describing what is and is not considered appropriate. The continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial advertisements are off-topic in most newsgroups, especially regional groups not specifically named for such purposes.
21. Service is provided "as is." GTT disclaims, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all warranties, representations or other endorsements, express, implied, or statutory with regard to the data or information accessed from, or through, the GTT Services, the systems which provide it and the Internet, including all warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use, title, and non-infringement of any third-party rights. GTT does not assume any liability for the completeness, accuracy or usefulness of any information disclosed or materials accessed. In no event shall GTT (or any persons or entities related thereto) be liable for any special, indirect, or consequential damages associated with or arising from use of the Services in any way, including any loss of use, data or profits, regardless of the form of action. Any failure by GTT to enforce this AUP in every instance in which it might have application does not amount to a waiver of GTT's rights.
22. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(d) as amended, GTT notifies Users that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software, or filtering services) are available that may assist Users in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available at the America Links Up website: http://www.netparents.org/parentstips.browsers.html .
23. In the course of provision of the Services, GTT may transfer employee data, customer data and/or other personal data (“Personal Data”) that the User solely controls. User, as the data controller, will be responsible to submit the filings, notifications, reports, and other documentation with regulatory authorities and other government agencies that are required under applicable law. User agrees, warrants and represents with regard to such Personal Data: (a) that the processing, including the transfer itself, has been and, up to the moment of transfer, and will always to be carried out in accordance with any applicable law, including, without limitation, national and European Union data protection laws, and, if applicable, has obtained, at its own costs, the written permission of the relevant data protection authorities, works councils and/or the written consent of the individuals (“informed consent”) to which the Personal Data refer to (“Data Subject”), prior to the transfer; (b) that it will notify GTT immediately if a permission or consent under sub-section (a) is withdrawn, challenged or suspended; (c) that it will immediately advise GTT in writing of any storage requirements, such as minimum and maximum retention periods and any change thereof that apply to the Personal Data; and (d) that it will respond in a reasonable time and to the extent reasonably possible to inquiries from any authority on the processing or transfer of Personal Data and to any inquiries of a Data Subject concerning the processing of his/her Personal Data that GTT may receive. In addition to indemnification of GTT under Section 25 below with respect to a violation of this Section 23, you shall protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GTT, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, consultants, suppliers, and any third-party Website providers, for any costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by GTT because of GTT’s facilities being subject of an audit, inspection, reporting or storage requirement pertaining to Personal Data, or any inquiry by or initiated by any government agency, law enforcement official, court or a Data Subject with regard to the Personal Data.
24. This AUP is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its choice of law provisions, and any disputes hereunder shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Use of Services is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of this AUP, without limitation, this paragraph.
25. You agree to protect, indemnify, defend, and hold GTT, its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, consultants, suppliers, and any third-party Website providers harmless from and against all liabilities, costs, demands, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), causes of action, suits, allegations, or other claims (collectively, “Claims”) resulting from your or your Users’ violation of this
AUP, misuse or abuse of the Service, personal injury or death to other persons or damage to personal or real property (including data) arising from use of the Service, or your infringement, or infringement by any other user of your account, of any intellectual property or other right by any person or entity. You will cooperate as reasonably required in GTT’s defense of any Claim. GTT reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you shall not in any event settle any matter without the prior express written consent of GTT.
26. In the event that any portion of this AUP is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the remainder of the provisions of this AUP shall remain in full force and effect. Any failure by GTT to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this AUP shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY, UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Privacy Policy
Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “GTT”) respect the privacy of those who visit this Website (the “Site”). To this end, we have adopted this Privacy Policy to govern all information obtained from or submitted through this Site. By accessing, browsing, using, framing, reviewing, and/or linking to the Site in any manner whatsoever, you acknowledge that you read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, please do not access or otherwise use the Site in any manner whatsoever. GTT reserves the right to modify and post revisions to this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole discretion.
Personally-Identifiable Information
As a visitor to the Site, you may choose to use the Site to send personally-identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address) to GTT. GTT does not share, disclose, or sell any personally-identifiable information collected through the Site with other unaffiliated companies or organizations for non-GTT marketing purposes without consent. In the future, should GTT decide to share such data with third parties for marketing, it will provide notification and the opportunity for its users to indicate whether they would prefer that the GTT not provide such information about them to third parties. Because this information is a critical part of our business, it would be treated like our other assets in the context of a merger, sale or other corporate reorganization or legal proceeding. GTT also does not market to, or knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 on the Site.
GTT uses personally-identifiable information it obtains online principally for billing purposes, to provide and change service, to anticipate and resolve problems with services, or to create and inform you of products and services that better meet your needs. GTT may use vendors to carry out certain functions necessary in marketing and delivering its services to you (such as processing data or managing communications with you regarding your account), and so it may need to share online data with those vendors to the extent necessary for them to perform their work. Of course, such partners and vendors must use that personally-identifiable information only for the purpose(s) for which it was shared and protect it from any further use. GTT also may share such information with other industry and credit-related organizations to improve operations and to protect against fraud, security and credit risks. Finally, we may be required to provide personally identifiable information in response to subpoenas and other legal demands, and where we believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against individuals who may be endangering public safety or interfering with GTT property or services, or with our customers’ or others’ use of them. GTT will not share personal information with other third parties except to the extent we have your permission or are required by law.
Non-Personal Aggregated Information
When you visit the Site, GTT may log general data, such as domain name and IP addresses, the means by which you entered the Site, which Site pages you visit, and how much time you spend on each page. Such information does not provide any detail that would allow identification of an individual. This information is used by GTT to monitor and improve its Site and for internal analysis of customer and visitor requirements and demands. We may also share non-personal aggregated information with our customers, partners, and advertisers. GTT will not share information about your activities on the Site together with any information that identifies you without your consent.
Cookies
GTT may use “cookies” and similar technology to obtain information about your visits to the Site and your responses to e-mail from us. These are tools that transfer files from a Web site to your computer’s hard drive to enable tracking of your activities on the Web site. These tools tell us the parts of the Site or e-mails in which you showed interest, and help us to improve the quality and usefulness of the Site. While cookies are useful in improving your experience while visiting the Site and in customizing our communications to your needs, some browser versions allow you to block such files. Moreover, other commercially available programs support blocking or notification of cookie files. However, please be aware that blocking such files may make some of the Site’s features unavailable to you.
Other Web sites
If you go to any other Web site (whether clicked directly from this Site or via other means), please be aware that you may be authorizing another company, including an advertising company, to use information you supply. GTT is not responsible for collection, use, or disclosure of information obtained by other Web sites, and expressly disclaims any and all liability related to such collection, use, or disclosure.
Security
We use certain physical and technological processes and safeguards to help protect the integrity of personal information obtained through the Site and to help prevent unauthorized access or improper use. Please be advised, however, that GTT cannot control the information as you may send it over public networks or third party networks; GTT therefore cannot guarantee security.
