You may not use our Data Services for illegal purposes or purposes that infringe upon others' intellectual property rights, or in a manner that interferes with other users' service; that violates trade and economic sanctions and prohibitions as promulgated by the departments of Commerce, Treasury or any other U.S. government agency; that interferes with the network's ability to fairly allocate capacity among users. Examples of prohibited usage include: (i) server devices or host computer applications that are broadcast to multiple servers or recipients such that they could enable "bots" or similar routines (as set forth in more detail in (ii) below) or otherwise degrade network capacity or functionality; (ii) "auto-responders," "cancel-bots," or similar automated or manual routines that generate amounts of net traffic that could disrupt net user groups or e-mail use by others; (iii) generating "spam" or unsolicited commercial or bulk e-mail (or activities that facilitate the dissemination of such e-mail); (iv) any activity that adversely affects the ability of other users or systems to use either Verizon Wireless' services or the Internet–based resources of others, including the generation or dissemination of viruses, malware, or "denial of service" attacks; (v) accessing, or attempting to access without authority, the information, accounts or devices of others, or to penetrate, or attempt to penetrate, Verizon Wireless' or another entity's network or systems; or (vi) running software or other devices that maintain continuous active Internet connections when connection would otherwise be idle, or "keep alive" functions, unless they adhere to Verizon wireless' requirements for such usage, which may be changed from time to time; (vii) use of your smartphone or your mobile hotspot to provide internet connectivity for the primary purpose of excessive cloud access or storage, crypto-mining or adding, securing, or verifying transactions to a blockchain or any blockchain-based cryptocurrencies; (viii) using the Service to violate any rule, policy or guideline of Verizon; (ix) using the service in any fashion for the transmission or dissemination of images containing child pornography or in a manner that is obscene, sexually explicit, cruel or racist in nature or which espouses, promotes or incites bigotry, hatred or racism; or (x) downloading or using the Service in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria or to destinations that are otherwise controlled or embargoed under U.S. law, as modified from time to time by the Departments of Treasury and Commerce; or (xi) any use of smartphone data meant to be used exclusively on the smartphone device to provide connectivity, directly or indirectly, to other devices, including but not limited to routers, jetpacks, modems, Smart TVs, computers, tablets or servers. Provided, however, providing connectivity to other devices is permitted through mobile hotspot/tethering which is limited to the amount of data allocated with your plan. We may investigate, and may ask you to provide an explanation, to determine whether such usage violates the terms and conditions of your Service, the Customer Agreement, or any other applicable terms & conditions have been violated.
