The Servers, the Services and the Network may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution or storage of any material in violation of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited.

3 - The services
3.1
The user acknowledges that e-mango is unable to exercise control over the content of the information passing over the Network via the Servers. Therefore, e-mango is not responsible for the content of any message whether or not the posting was made by an e-mango customer.

3.5
Without prejudice to the foregoing, e-mango considers that any application that overloads the e-mango Servers or the Network by whatever means will be considered as making profligate use of the e-mango Network and is as such NOT allowed. Use of IP multicast other than by means provided and co-ordinated by e-mango is likewise prohibited.
3.6
