Any attempt to degrade, interfere with, disrupt, damage or otherwise interfere with the facilities and services, or using the facilities and services or any part thereof for those purposes on another system is expressly forbidden. If you are uncertain if you have permission to perform the task you intent to perform, please consult your system administrator, or equivalent.

Individuals or institutions who disregard elements of this policy may be subject to appropriate contractual or legal action by D2L (in the courts of Ontario). Violators of this policy may be liable to D2L and or its respective partners if there is a violation, however small of this policy.

Should you wish not to follow this policy, or you disagree with any part of it, you are not permitted to access the facilities and services at any time, or in any manner.
