What is an Acceptable Use Policy?

An AUP or acceptable use policy refers to a document that elaborates the rules customers or users will have to follow. The AUP could be about a computer network, an extensive computer system, or a website. The focus of attention of an AUP document revolves around computing resources.

In a typical AUP document user or customer doesn’t have the right to use or view a website or network system as a resource. At its core, AUP also covers shared computing systems and resources like LAN and websites. It is crucial to understand that an AUP document doesn’t apply to user-specific software applications.

Acceptable Use Policy Elements

Fundamental elements of Acceptable Use Policy include:

  • Example 1: a preamble and definition section
  • Example 2: a full policy statement
  • Example 3: acceptable and unacceptable uses sections
  • Example 3: A sanctions and violations section

Here is a comprehensive article about the acceptable use policy.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

View Trustpilot Review

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

View Trustpilot Review

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
