TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES Sample Clauses
The TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES clause defines the rules and responsibilities regarding the use, provision, or access to technology-related assets within an agreement. This may include specifying which party supplies hardware, software, or network access, outlining acceptable use policies, or detailing security requirements for shared systems. Its core function is to ensure both parties understand their obligations and rights concerning technological tools, thereby preventing misuse, clarifying ownership, and reducing the risk of disputes related to technology during the contractual relationship.
TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES. The parties specifically agree that all hardware, software, databases, communications networks, peripherals, and all other electronic technology, whether networked or free-standing, is the property of the Commonwealth and is expected to be used only as it has in the past for official Commonwealth business. Use by employee s of the Commonwealth's technological resources constitutes express consent for the Commonwealth and its Departments/Agencies to monitor and/or inspect any data that users create or receive, any electronic mail messages they send or receive, and any web sites that they may access. The Commonwealth retains, and through its Departments/Agencies, may exercise the right to inspect and randomly monitor any user's computer, any data contained in it, and any data sent or received by that computer. Notwithstanding the above, unless such use is reasonably related to an employee's job, it is unacceptable for any person to intentionally use the Commonwealth's electronic technology: • in furtherance of any illegal act, including violation of any criminal or civil laws or regulations, whether state or federal; • for any political purpose; • for any commercial purpose; • to send threatening or harassing messages, whether sexual or otherwise; • to access or share sexually explicit, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate materials; • to infringe upon any intellectual property rights; • to gain or attempt to gain, unauthorized access to any computer or network; • for any use that causes interference with or disruption of network users and resources, including propagation of computer viruses or other harmful programs; • to misrepresent either the Agency or a person's role at the Agency; • to intercept communications intended for other persons; • to distribute chain letters; • to libel or otherwise defame any person; or • to access online gambling sites. The terms of this Section do not alter current practice regarding employee use of telephones. The parties agree that the foregoing list and policy are not all-inclusive and will meet as needed to make appropriate modifications thereto. The Department/Agency will disseminate this Section to its employees on an annual basis as part of the employee's performance evaluation and afford said employee the opportunity to request clarification should it be necessary. This shall not infringe upon any rights within M.G.L. c. 150E or any other right legally granted to employees.
