Mauritius Country Code ( .mu ) Policy > Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP")
Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP")
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") sets out the actions prohibited to users of the Internet Direct Ltd Network ( "MUNIC Network "). "Users " are defined as anyone who uses or accesses the .mu domain registry, who has responsibility for one or more host records in the .mu zone files generated from the .mu registry, registrants of a .mu country code Top Level ( "ccTLD ") Domain name ( ".mu Domain name "), and/or users of hardware, name servers, bandwidth, telecommunications transport, zone files or e-mail routing services or of any other domain name resolution systems and services in the .mu registry and zone.

This policy applies to all .mu Domain names (which end in the two letter suffix .mu), including second-level .mu Domain names (such as ) and sub second-level domains (such as ) which resolve as a result of sub-delegation.

This AUP is in addition to rules governing qualifications for registration. Use of a .mu Domain name or the MUNIC Network in a manner that contravenes this AUP, may result in the suspension or revocation of a registrants right to use a .mu Domain name or to continue to be recognized as the registrant of a .mu Domain name. Suspension or revocation may apply to one or more .mu Domain names for which User is a registrant in addition to a particular .mu Domain name which may have given rise to a particular complaint.

MUNIC reserves the right to modify or update this AUP at any time and any such modifications or restatements shall be posted on MUNIC's website at http://www.nic.mu from time to time. MUNIC will use reasonable commercial efforts to inform designated contacts in the event of changes to this AUP. Such efforts may include posting the revised AUP on MUNIC's website and/or sending email notice that this AUP has been modified or updated.

INTRODUCTION
* MUNIC supports the free flow of information and ideas over the Internet. Accordingly, MUNIC does not actively screen or monitor, nor does it exercise editorial control over the content of any message or web site made accessible by domain name resolution services in the .mu ccTLD.
* MUNIC may discontinue, suspend, or modify the services provided to any .mu Domain name (for example, through modification of .mu zone files), to address alleged violations of this AUP (described further below). MUNIC may determine in its sole discretion whether use of the MUNIC network or a .mu Domain name is prima facie violation of this AUP. MUNIC or affected parties may utilize the CoCCA AUP CRS and/or the courts in the jurisdiction and venue specified in the Registration Agreement to resolve disputes over interpretation and implementation of this AUP, as described more fully in the CoCCA AUP CRS.
* Users of the MUNIC Network are obliged and required to ensure that their use of a .mu Domain name or the MUNIC Network is at all times lawful and in accordance with the requirements of this AUP and applicable laws and regulations of Mauritius, the operation of the .mu ccTLD falling with the jurisdiction and being governed by the laws of Mauritius.
* This AUP should be read in conjunction with the MUNIC Registration Agreement, Complaint Resolution Policy, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and other applicable agreements, policies, laws and regulations. By way of example, and without limitation, the Registration Agreement sets forth representations and warranties and other terms and conditions, breach of which may constitute non-compliance with this AUP.

The non-exhaustive list of restrictions pertaining to use of the MUNIC Network and .mu Domain names in relation to various purposes and activities are as follows. Registration of one or more .mu Domain names or access to services provided by MUNIC may be cancelled or suspended for any breach of, or non-compliance with this AUP:

(6) Communication, publication or distribution, either directly or by way of embedded links, of images or materials (including, but not limited to pornographic material and images or materials that a reasonable person as a member of the community of Mauritius would consider to be obscene or indecent) where such communication, publication or distribution is prohibited by or constitutes an offence under the laws of Mauritius or within the meaning of the CoCCA recommended policies, whether incorporated directly into or linked from a web site, email, posting to a news group, internet forum, instant messaging notice which makes use of domain name resolution services in the .mu ccTLD.
