in order to prevent further possible unauthorized activity, CyberPathway may suspend access to
services to the individual account in question. Confirmation of violations may result in
cancellation of the individual account and/or criminal prosecution. The account suspension may be
rescinded at the discretion of the Operations Manager, following payment of a reconnection charge. | |
