Lumiere Networks is committed to providing reliable, secure, and high-performance services to all of our customers. This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") outlines the rules and guidelines for using our services. By using our network, infrastructure, or related services, you agree to the terms below.

1. Prohibited Activities

The following actions are strictly prohibited and may result in suspension or termination of your account:

• Network Abuse: Any activity that interferes with the normal operations of our network or others.
• DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service): Launching or participating in DDoS attacks, whether inbound or outbound.
• Malware & Exploits: Hosting or distributing viruses, trojans, ransomware, or other malicious code.
• Spam: Sending unsolicited bulk emails or using our services to support spamming in any form.
• Illegal Content: Hosting or distributing content that violates laws, including child abuse material, hate speech, or pirated content.
• Unauthorized Access: Attempting to breach or access systems, accounts, or networks without permission.
• Resource Abuse: Excessive use of CPU, memory, or bandwidth that negatively impacts other users or our infrastructure.

2. Anti-DDoS Policy

We deploy DDoS mitigation systems to protect our infrastructure and clients. However, accounts that repeatedly become attack vectors or attract abnormal volumes of traffic may be suspended or terminated at our discretion. We do not tolerate using our services to provoke or amplify DDoS incidents.

3. Security & Client Responsibility

Clients are responsible for maintaining the security of their own services. This includes securing applications, updating systems, managing user credentials, and monitoring for abuse or compromise. We may take protective actions including rate-limiting or traffic filtering when threats are detected.

4. Enforcement & Termination

Violations of this policy may result in service suspension or permanent account termination, with or without prior notice. Lumiere Networks reserves the right to investigate any activity that appears to breach this AUP and cooperate with law enforcement when appropriate.
