INTRODUCTION
By using this Internet service ("Service") or by establishing an
account, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Service in
compliance with this Agreement, our Acceptable Use Policies and all other use
policies (collectively, the "Terms of Service"). If you do not
agree to the Terms of Service, including any future revisions, you may not use
the Service, and if you have an account you must terminate it as provided
herein. We, your Internet service provider (the "ISP"), reserve
the right to revise the Terms of Service and you accept sole responsibility for
periodically reviewing them for any and all changes. Your continued use of
this Service following the posting of any revisions to the Terms of Service
constitutes your acceptance of those revisions.
2.
SUBSCRIBER OBLIGATIONS (A)
End users establishing an account with the ISP ("Members") must be at
least 18 years old. Local access dialup numbers may not be available in all
areas. You are solely responsible for determining if use of a particular dialup
number will cause you to incur long-distance, toll, or other charges. ISP is not
responsible for any long-distance, toll or other charges you incur. (B) Members must (i) provide ISP with accurate and complete
billing information including legal name, address, telephone number, and credit
card/billing, and (ii) report to ISP all changes to this information within 30
days of the change. Members are responsible for all charges to their account.
(C) Members are billed each month for the basic service and any
additional usage or services. Members are responsible for paying all charges
billed to their account in the manner and method prescribed on their invoice.
ISP is not responsible for any charges or expenses (overdrawn accounts,
exceeding credit card limits, etc.) resulting from charges billed by ISP. (D) If
ISP has failed to pay any underlying service provider all amounts owing for your
account - whether or not you have paid ISP - your account will be subject to
suspension or cancellation until you or ISP has paid all amounts due.
(E) Delinquent accounts may be suspended or canceled at ISP's sole
discretion; however, charges will continue to accrue until the account is
canceled. ISP may bill an additional charge to reinstate a suspended account.
3.
MEMBER'S ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
Members receive a user name, password and account designation upon registration.
You and members of your household are the only authorized users of your ISP
account and must comply with this Agreement. You must keep your password
confidential so that no one else may access the Service through your account.
You must notify ISP within 24 hours of discovering any unauthorized use of your
account. Using a personal account for high volume or commercial use (e.g.,
revenue generation, advertising, etc.) is prohibited. Email accounts exceeding
10MB in size may, at ISP's discretion, be transferred to a compressed temporary
file or storage. ISP may delete the temporary file from the server 60 days after
notifying you. Any Member Web site exceeding 5MB of disk space or 250MB of data
transfer will be billed for excess usage. You may establish a commercial or
high-volume account by the ISP. Usernames, passwords and email addresses are
ISP's property and ISP may alter or replace them at any time.
4.
MONITORING THE SERVICE ISP has no obligation to monitor the Service, but may do so and may
disclose information regarding the use of the Service for any reason if ISP, in
its sole discretion, believes that it is reasonable to do so, including but not
limited to: satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests;
operate the Service properly; or protect itself and its Members. Please see our
Privacy Policy, (24HourSupport.com).
ISP may immediately remove your material or information from ISP's servers, in
whole or in part, which ISP, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to
infringe another's property rights or to violate our Acceptable Use Policy, (http://www.24hoursupport.com/aup.html).

NOTICE TO ALL INTERNET USERS.
You may want to consider adding a 900
and International block to the
telephone numbers where the internet will be used.
Some adult entertainment web sites have a way to disconnect your local
connection, have your modem dial international numbers, and then reconnect you
back to your local dial-up without you even knowing that it happened.
These international calls are similar to 900 calls and can be very
expensive. AT&T and
jamadots.com both have stated these blocks should eliminate most of the problems
arising from this type of situation. These
blocks are put on your telephone line free of charge.
Please sign and date below if you want these blocks added to your line.
