  • IT Security
DEF

An individual who uses his knowledge of the telephone system to make calls at the expense of another.

CONT

In the latest twist of computer theft, "phone freaks" pride themselves on being able to break into the sophisticated telephone answering services used by a growing number of businesses around the world. Telephone saboteurs typically gain access to a company’s toll free number or use access codes for long-distance telephone accounts that circulate through the computer "bulletin board" underground. Then, they try random combinations of numbers until they stumble upon the electronic "mailboxes" and the passwords that give a person access to them.

OBS

Contrast with "phracker".

OBS

Phreakers take advantage of free telephone numbers (800’ numbers) to gain access to secret digital switchboards which grant access to outside phone lines. They want to avoid paying phone bills rather that to corrupt data. (J.J. Manger, The Essential Internet Information Guide, Mc Graw-Hill, 1994, p. 342).

  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Maritime Law
CONT

Under time charter parties, the charterer appoints the port agent and it is open to the owner to also appoint his own protective agent to represent his interests. However, it appears that few owners choose to incur this expense and the selected agent is therefore considered as being the ship's agent in a general sense, and is therefore also the owner's agent. These two separate duties can give rise to a conflict of interest.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Government Contracts
  • Law of Contracts (common law)
  • Execution of Work (Construction)
DEF

The period, after completion of a contract, during which a contractor is required to make good at his own expense any work which needs repair.

OBS

Do not confuse "warranty" and "guaranty". According to Construction Specifications Canada, "a Warranty is a ... contract or agreement between two parties and usually is included in a contract for goods or services between these parties", whereas "a guarantee is a ’collateral’ agreement for the performance of another’s undertaking".

OBS

guarantee. A. And "warranty". Originally the same word, "warranty" and "guarantee" (or "-ty") arrived in the language through different medieval French dialects. "Guarantee" is the broader term, ordinarily meaning either (1) "the act of giving a security; the undertaking with respect to (a contract, performance of a legal act, etc.) that it shall be duly carried out," or (2) "something given or existing as security, e.g., for fulfillment of an engagement or condition" (OED). "Warranty", as a legal term, has slightly more specific and elaborate senses: (1) "a covenant (either express or implied) annexed to a conveyance of realty by which the seller warrants the security of the title conveyed"; (2) "an assurance, express or implied, given by the seller of goods, that he will be answerable for their possession of some quality attributed to them" (the seller hereby disclaims all warranties); or (3) "in a contract for insurance, an engagement by the insured that certain statements are true or that certain conditions shall be fulfilled" (OED). B. And "guaranty". The distinction in BrE once was that the former is the verb, the latter the noun. Yet "guarantee" is now commonly used as both n. & v.t. in both AmE and BrE. In practice, "guarantee", n., is the usual term, seen often, for example, in the context of consumer warranties or other assurances of quality or performance. "Guaranty", in contrast, is now used primarily in financial and banking contexts in the sense "a promise to answer for the debt of another." "Guaranty" is now rarely seen in nonlegal writing, whether in G.B. or in the U.S. Some legal writers prefer "guaranty" in all nominal senses.

OBS

Malgré ce qu'indique la source OLFMB 1985, il ne faut pas confondre les termes anglais «warranty» et «guaranty», qui ne sont pas [...] synonymes. En effet, selon une étude insérée dans le Devis de Construction Canada, le premier signifie «garantie», tandis que le second correspond à «cautionnement».
