Excessive Use of System Resources
You may not use any shared system provided by TinyQueries in a way that unnecessarily interferes with the normal operation of the shared system, or that consumes a disproportionate share of the resources of the system. For example, we may prohibit the automated or scripted use of TinyQueries Compiler if it has a negative impact on the backend database system, or we may require you to repair coding abnormalities in your TinyQueries interfacing code if it unnecessarily conflicts with other TinyQueries customers’ use of the Cloud. You agree that we may quarantine or delete any data stored on a shared system if the data is infected with a virus, or is otherwise corrupted, and has the potential to infect or corrupt the system or other customers' data that is stored on the same system.
Vulnerability Testing/Probing
You may not attempt to probe, scan, penetrate or test the vulnerability of a TinyQueries system or network or to breach TinyQueries's security or authentication measures, whether by passive or intrusive techniques, without TinyQueries's express written consent.
Connected Networks

- you have been expressly authorized by the owner of the copyright for the work to copy the work in that manner; or
