Users:

  • accept full liability for the content sent by e-mail or uploaded to allocated storage and possibly shared with others (whether users of the University information system or external recipients)
  • undertake, in particular, not to upload or disseminate, in any format:
    • defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, reserved or otherwise illegal content
    • malware, i.e. software that can damage computers, programs, files or data

The Politecnico di Milano Internet network services are provided through the network managed by the Consortium GARR.

The use of the GARR network by participating institutions’ users is subject to certain rules. In particular, users of the service should adhere strictly to these General Rules and the Code of Conduct outlined in the Acceptable Use Policy, which we invite you to read.

The use of the Internet resources of the Politecnico di Milano requires that the user has fully understood and accepted this regulation.

Infringement of the rules will invoke immediate steps that will be evaluated according to the severity of the action taken and its repetition. Without prejudice to eventual legal sanctions that the Polytechnic Institution of Milan may initiate through its institutional channels, the action for failure to comply with this regulation may also consist in the permanent disabling of accessing rights to the service.
