[mat-wg] Feedback on draft RIPE Atlas Service Terms and Conditions

Hello,

Having read the draft I find the T&Cs quite sensible but have some points 
to bring up.

7.1. [...] The RIPE NCC may perform security checks and audits to determine 
unauthorised use of the RIPE Atlas Service.
7.2. Users must assist the RIPE NCC with security checks and audits.

These are a very open-ended statements and I'm sure that RIPE NCC has no 
intention of visiting our homes or places of work to perform "security 
checks and audits". The terms are written in a "legalese" form of language 
and hence must be taken at face value by those who accept them. I would not 
be comfortable agreeing to these two points without some sort of 
clarification as to what "security audits and checks" could be, and what 
"assistance" I would be obliged to provide.


10.1. All the RIPE Documents referred to in this agreement are available on 
http://www.ripe.net/. The Probe Host will regularly take notice of updated 
RIPE Documents on the website.

I cannot accept this term. I can only accept to be bound to new terms if 
they are sent to me directly, for example by email. Article 2.3 seems to 
infer that RIPE NCC will indeed contact users directly at least 30 days in 
advance, which is acceptable.


Thanks to RIPE NCC for including the community in such an important process.
