The Qatar Domains Registry will investigate incidents involving such violations and may involve, and will cooperate with, law enforcement if a criminal violation is suspected.

No party may actually, nor attempt to, circumvent user authentication or security of any network or accounts, or penetrate security measures on, related to, or accessed through the Domain Name Registry System. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for such user, logging into a server or account that such user is not expressly authorised to access, falsifying a username or password, probing the security of other networks, and executing any form of network monitoring which will intercept data not intended for such user. 3.3.
