Terms and Conditions of Connectivity
– Residence Network

when using any computer connected to any

Policy (AUP) when using any University

2. Additional Rules Relating to
the Residence Network
The following Terms & Conditions relate to
the usage of computers connected to the
residence network. It is the responsibility of
each resident to read and comply with these
Terms & Conditions.
These Terms & Conditions are subject
to periodic review and change by the
University. The latest version of these and the
University’s Use of Computer Systems Policy
can be found at
http://campus.leeds.ac.uk/isms.
The version of documents on this website

11
Information on connecting and using the residence network

12
The quick, get me connected guide
Responsibility for compliance with these
Terms & Conditions resides with each
resident, and accountability remains with
each resident should they allow others
(students and non-students) to breach
these Terms & Conditions using network
connection facilities made available to them
as part of their residence contract.
2.1 Peer to Peer Software
The use of peer to peer file sharing
applications for the distribution of copyright
protected material is prohibited on all
computers connected to the residence
network and all such application must be
disabled or removed prior to connectivity.
The Internet is ‘policed’ by agencies who
act on behalf of film, television, music
and electronic book producers looking for
breaches of their clients’ copyrights. Where
reports are received by the University that a
resident has infringed the copyright of the
owner it brings the University into disrepute
and exposes us, as ‘Internet Service
Providers’, to possible legal action. The
resident perpetrating the infringement may
also be subject to legal action.
To reduce this exposure the University will
monitor the residence network for peer to
peer traffic and will automatically block or
suspend the connection of residents whose
computers are detected with such software
active for a period of 2 minutes.
All non encrypted peer to peer applications
found on the residence network will have
their connections dropped. Residents who
are detected with encrypted peer to peer
applications active on their computers will
receive notification that their connection
has been suspended along with the reason
why. After 2 minutes of the connection being
suspended connectivity will be resumed,
but the disconnection will immediately be
reinstated if the peer to peer software (or
any other peer to peer software) is detected
as being active. This process will continue
until such time as no active peer to peer
applications are detected.
Any resident who is detected repeatedly
attempting to use peer to peer software may
have their network connection suspended
in accordance with Section 2.6, whilst
disciplinary procedures are initiated.
2.2 Responsibility for Security Maintenance
Responsibility for maintaining the effective
security of residents’ owned/controlled
computers attached to the network, by
updating service packs, applying security
patches and maintaining up to date virus
protection software etc., resides with each
respective resident.
Failure to maintain effective levels of security
may result in the suspension of access to the
network until proof of sufficient protection is
in place.
2.3 Commercial Matters
The resale (or making available to others with
or without charge) of network and computing
services (for example through hubs, proxy
services or wireless facilities) is prohibited.
2.4 University Responsibility & Liability
The University accepts no responsibility for
the security of any privately owned or third
party computer attached to its network, or
any liability for any damage to any such
device how so ever caused. This disclaimer
also extends to any other network which the
University does not provide (including its
components) to which private, third party or
University equipment may be attached by
a resident.
2.5 Suspension or Termination of Services
The Director of ISS may immediately
suspend access to the University network
by any resident suspected of contravention
of any of these Terms & Conditions. After
enquiries, the Director of ISS may:
l Reinstate network access;
l After consultation with the relevant Head
of School/Department and the Director
of Residential and Commercial Services,
continue network suspension for an
agreed period, or terminate the contract.
Where a decision is taken to continue the
suspension or terminate network connection,
the resident concerned has an automatic
right of appeal to the director of Residential
and Commercial Services.
Contravention of any of these conditions
also renders the person responsible liable
to action under the University’s disciplinary
procedure as provided in Statute IV.
