Customer agrees that Customer received a copy of the then-in-effect Privacy Policy at the time Customer executed these Terms & Conditions. Subject to, Section 16(G) herein, Provider may update or amend the Privacy Policy at any time without Customer’s prior consent. Provider will, however, provide notice of any such changes or amendments as stated in Our Privacy Policy. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Your continued use of the Service after notice of any changes or amendments have been provided will indicate Your acceptance of such changes, except where further steps are required by applicable law. All such updates or amendments shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into these Terms & Conditions.

Provider has the right at all times and without notice to remove, restrict access to or make unavailable any information or content residing on Provider’s or its Affiliates’ or operational service providers’ servers. Provider has the right to monitor, review, retain or disclose any content or other information in Provider’s possession about or related to Customer (including, without limitation, Customer Information), Customer’s use of the Service, or otherwise, as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, or otherwise as Provider deems necessary or appropriate in Provider’s sole discretion.
C. Customer authorizes Provider to make inquiries and to receive information about Customer’s credit history from others and to utilize such information in its decision regarding its provision of the Service to Customer.
D. Provider may require that Customer use a username and password combination or other reasonable procedures to confirm Customer’s identity when requesting or otherwise accessing account information, making changes to the Service or performing other functions related to the Service through Provider’s authorized Customer service channels. Customer may also choose to designate an authorized user of Customer’s account (an “Authorized User”), who will be permitted to access Customer’s account information and make certain changes to Customer’s account. Customer will be solely liable for any and all action or inaction by any Authorized User.

Any attempt to access any of Provider’s corporate assets is strictly prohibited.
C. Provider reserves the right to release the login names of Customers involved in violating system security to system administrators at other sites, in order to assist them in resolving security incidents. Provider will also fully cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating suspected lawbreakers, subject to Provider’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.
7. Acceptable Usage and Prohibited Internet Service Activities
A. “Acceptable Usage of Internet Service” is hereby defined as the normal activities associated with the use of the Internet, including but not limited to usage of Provider’s systems and network facilities for accessing the World Wide Web, Internet Relay Chat, USENET Newsgroups, Email, and other Internet features. Depending on the account type, this may include file storage on Provider’s servers for Customer’s own personal email, web page and file access area (FTP), etc.
B. “Prohibited Internet Service Activities” specifically prohibited by Provider include but are not limited to the following:
i. Background and/or server-type applications – Including but not limited to IRC bots, HTTP servers, MUDs, and any similar processes, unless We specifically agree.
ii. Long-term storage of data – Long-term storage of data is referred to as the storage of files which are not used regularly in an account for an extended period of time. This specifically includes, but is not limited to, programs such as shareware programs which the Customer may download to their account for purposes of transferring to their home computer(s)/device(s). Such programs should be removed at such time as they are successfully transferred to the Customer’s personal system.
iii. Flooding or abuse of other users – Flooding is a fairly common occurrence on the Internet, and one which is dealt with strictly by Provider. Flooding takes place in numerous ways, including, but not limited to, ICMP flooding, mail bombing (sending large amounts of email repeatedly to a person for purposes of harassment), mass mailings to multiple addresses, MSG/CTCP flooding on IRC, as well as other, less common methods.
iv. Attempts to compromise system and/or network security – Programs such as packet sniffers, password crack programs, and similar utilities found to be running from Customer’s account are prohibited. This also includes attempts to hack into non- Provider systems.
v. Sharing of accounts – Sharing Customer’s Internet Service with another party for purposes of avoiding payment for a second Service is strictly prohibited. Customer may connect multiple computers/devices within a single location to Customer’s modem, router, and/or radio to access the Internet Service, but only through a single Provider-issued IP address.
vi. Email abuse – Email abuse typically comes in one of three forms, the transfer of a message to unsolicited individuals, the sending of harassing and/or threatening messages to other users, and the forging of email addresses so as to make the email appear to be from another user.
vii. Other abusive behavior – Similar to email abuse, includes forging of addresses, harassment/threats, the posting of the same message to multiple newsgroups (spamming), as well as the posting of information in groups where it is not relevant and unwanted.
viii. Pyramid/money-making schemes – Such activities as the transfer of information or solicitation of persons via the Internet in an attempt to extort money or other valuables or the use of pyramid/chain letters are all prohibited.
ix. Pirated software – Pirated software is defined as the illegal exchange of software for purpose of avoiding the purchase of said software by the individuals involved. This includes most commercial applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc. Such activities are prohibited by Federal law and are thus not allowed in any form on Provider. Such prohibition also includes the unauthorized copying of copyrighted material including, but not limited to digitization and distribution of photographs from magazines, books, or other copyrighted sources and copyrighted software. The exportation of software or technical information in violation of U.S. export control laws is strictly prohibited.
8. Penalties for Violations of Terms & Conditions
A. If Customer engages in any Prohibited Internet Service Activities, Customer’s account will be subject to immediate termination and Customer may be subject to any and all criminal and civil penalties available under the law. The penalties imposed on Customer for such violations will vary based on the level of the offense. Typically Customer will receive a warning on the first offense. However, if the offense is severe enough, Provider reserves the right to disable the account immediately. Accounts which have been disabled for abuse will not be re-opened. It is vital for Provider to provide a quality service for all Customers, and Provider will not tolerate Customers who through their actions hinder Us in that endeavor. It is also important for Provider to have a non-intrusive presence to the rest of the Internet, and thus prohibit activities that adversely affect customers of other service providers and their associated networks. To this end, Provider reserves the right to modify and/or disable Service at any such time the Customer violates these Terms & Conditions.
B. Provider will not reimburse Customer when Service has been suspended or disabled due to violations of these Terms & Conditions which shall qualify as a termination for Cause.
C. If Service is disconnected for non-payment, We are not obligated to re-connect Your Service. However, if You desire re-connection, and We agree to do so, You agree to pay the then-applicable re-installment fee plus any amount past due under Your Service Agreement.
9. Software Licenses and Third Party Services
A. Provider may provide Customer software for use in connection with the Service which is owned by Provider or its third party licensors, third party suppliers, and operational service providers (“Software”). Such software may be subject to an additional fee. Provider reserves the right periodically to update, upgrade, or change the Software remotely or otherwise and to make related changes to the settings and software on Customer’s computer(s)/device(s) or equipment, and Customer agrees to permit such changes and access to Customer’s computer(s)/device(s) and equipment. Customer may use the Software only in connection with the Service and for no other purpose.
B. Certain Software may be accompanied by an end user license agreement (“EULA”) from Provider or a third party. Provider’s use of the Software is governed by the terms of that EULA and by these Terms Agreement, where applicable. Customer may not install or use any Software that is accompanied by or includes a EULA unless Customer first agrees to the terms of the EULA.
C. For Software not accompanied by a EULA, Customer is hereby granted a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license by Provider or its applicable third party licensor(s) or Operational Service Provider to use the Software (and any corrections, updates and upgrades thereto). Customer may not make any copies of the Software. Customer agrees that the Software is confidential information of Provider or its third party licensors/operational service providers and that Customer will not disclose or use the Software except as expressly permitted herein. The Software contains copyrighted material, trade secrets, patents, and proprietary information owned by Provider or its third party licensors/operational service providers. Customer may not de-compile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Software, otherwise reduce the Software to a human readable form, modify, rent, lease, loan, use for timesharing or service bureau purposes, reproduce, sublicense or distribute copies of the Software, or otherwise transfer the Software to any third party. Customer may not remove or alter any trademark, trade name, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols, or labels appearing on or in copies of the Software. Customer is not granted any title or rights of ownership in the Software. Customer acknowledges that this license is not a sale of intellectual property and that Provider or its third party licensors/operational service providers continue to own all right, title and interest, including but not limited to all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and moral rights, to the Software and related documentation, as well as any corrections, updates and upgrades to it. The Software may be used in the United States only, and any export of the Software is strictly prohibited.
10. Your Payment Obligations and Automatic Renewal.
Failure to fulfill any payment obligations in a timely manner as provided herein will be considered to be a violation of these Terms & Conditions and Your Service Agreement.
A. Prior to installation of the Service, You are required to pay the Initial Payment set forth in the Service Agreement. At the time of installation of the Service, You are required to pay the Installation Fees and the first Monthly Payment set forth in the Service Agreement. Together, the Initial Payment, the Installation Fees, and the First Monthly Payment, constitute the “Total Deposit”. You agree that the Total Deposit is to be paid in consideration of Provider’s making the Service available on the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms & Conditions, that Provider has earned the Total Deposit in full and that the Total Deposit is not refundable. If any portion of the Total Deposit remains unpaid at the time of execution of these Terms & Conditions, You will pay such amount promptly after execution of the Terms & Conditions.
B. You agree to pay any Additional Installation Charges (if any), on or before the first day of Your “Monthly Billing Cycle”. Except as set forth on the Service Agreement, Your Monthly Billing Cycle begins on the first day of each month.

For each Monthly Billing Cycle with respect to which You do not pay on time (including without limitation if Your Monthly Fees are not received by Provider on or before the first day of the Monthly Billing Cycle), You agree to pay any “Billing Administrative Fee” as established by Provider from time to time. You and Provider specifically agree that the Billing Administrative Fee is not a late fee, but rather is intended to compensate provider for its additional expense incurred in processing irregular payments, and may be changed at any time without notice to You. All required payments should be in the form of major credit card, cash check, or ACH (if approved by Provider). If Client does not return all of the Provider Equipment to Provider in good working order within fifteen (15) days of the date of the termination or expiration of the Service Agreement by either party, You authorize Provider to submit a charge on the Your credit card account in the amount of the replacement value of the Provider Equipment not returned. If You does not wish to use a credit card, a Security Deposit may be required by Provider. This deposit will be refunded when all the Provider Equipment is returned to Provider in good working order.
D. Provider shall not be obligated to provide the Service during Monthly Billing Cycles for which You have not paid the applicable Monthly Fees in advance. If at any time Your account has past due amounts or upon Your violation of this Agreement (including any documents incorporated by reference herein), Provider may, in Provider’s sole and absolute discretion, suspend provision of the Service to You and/or terminate this Agreement. Amounts are past due if not paid before the first calendar day of Your Monthly Billing Cycle. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider is not required to provide notice before suspending the Service and/or terminating this Agreement, and Provider will not be liable to You or any Authorized User for any such suspension or termination or any damages that may result therefrom.
E. During the initial Term set forth in the Service Agreement, and in any subsequent Term, You agree to pay the Monthly Fee set forth in the Service Agreement for at least the duration of the Term. Unless you provide written notice to Us at least 30 days in advance of the expiration of the initial or any subsequent Term, upon expiration of the initial and each subsequent Term, your Service shall automatically renew for an additional Term of 12 months, at the same Monthly Fee.
F. If You order the IT Support Service as a separate one-time service component, You agree to pay the one-time flat fee either by credit or debit card at the time the IT Support Service was requested, or at the same time Your next Monthly Service Fee is due, as determined by Provider.
G. Customer also agrees to pay all applicable federal, state, and local taxes and fees, including, but not limited to, those imposed after the date of execution of the Service Agreement.

B. In addition Provider may, in its sole discretion, make available to You security software, such as anti-virus software, firewall software, “pop-up” advertising blocking software, parental control software, anti-spyware or anti-adware software for Your use on Your computer system(s) in conjunction with the Service. Any such security software provided by Provider to You is intended to provide only a minimal level of protection to Your computer system(s).

D. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider may in the future offer other Customers on Provider’s network Service with specific minimum service standards (including, without limitation, minimum standards for speed, bandwidth, latency or availability) (such minimum service standards that may be offered in the future “Future Enhanced Service”). You further understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider shall be under no obligation to provide any Future Enhanced Service to You unless and until Provider and You have executed a new agreement with respect to such Future Enhanced Service, which agreement may include, without limitation, such increased or modified Monthly Fees and additional terms and conditions as Provider and You may agree.
E. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider may use various tools and techniques in order to efficiently manage its networks and to ensure compliance with Provider’s Open Internet Policy and Section 7 above (such tools and techniques, “Network Management Tools”). These may include detecting malicious traffic patterns and preventing the distribution of viruses or other malicious code or managing network resources through techniques such as limiting the number of simultaneous peer-to-peer sessions that You may conduct, limiting the aggregate bandwidth available for certain usage protocols such as peer-to-peer and newsgroups, and such other Network Management Tools as Provider may from time to time determine appropriate.
F. You understand, acknowledge and agree that, to allocate bandwidth across all of its Customers, Provider may employ traffic-management technology, including but not limited to packet-reset technology, which technology may materially slow the uploading of certain files.
G. You understand, acknowledge and agree that, in order to provide redundancy or increased efficiency or otherwise to enhance Provider’s network, Provider may install additional equipment at Your premises, and any such equipment not set forth in the Service Agreement shall be deemed to be Provider Equipment for the purposes of this Agreement. You further understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider may use the Provider Equipment to provide Service to others in a manner that secures and separates Your traffic and local area network from Service provided to others.
H. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Provider does not warrant that Service descriptions, information, graphic depictions, fees, product and or other components of the Service are accurate, reliable, updated, current, complete or error-free. Despite Our efforts, it is possible that a price for the Service (or a component of Our Service) offered on Our website, or the Service description may be inaccurate in some part. In the event We determine that a Service contains an inaccurate price or description, We reserve the right to take any action We deem reasonable and necessary, in Our sole discretion, to rectify the error, including without limitation, canceling Your order, unless prohibited by law. We may make improvements or changes to any of Our information, or Services described on Our websites at any time without notice. You agree to notify Us immediately if You become aware of any pricing or descriptive errors or inconsistencies with any Services You order and to comply with any corrective action that We may take.

Your use of the Internet shall be solely at Your own risk and is subject to all applicable laws and regulations. Access to the Internet is dependent on numerous factors, technologies, and systems, many of which are beyond Provider’s authority and control. Moreover, Routine maintenance and periodic system repairs, upgrades and reconfigurations, public emergency or necessity, force majeure, restrictions imposed by law, acts of God, labor disputes and other situations, including mechanical or electrical breakdowns, may result in temporary impairment or interruption of Services. As a result, Provider cannot guarantee continuous or uninterrupted service and serves the right, from time to time, to temporarily reduce of suspend service without notice.

13. Agreement to Arbitrate
A. YOU AND PROVIDER AGREE TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND PROVIDER. The agreement between You and Provider to arbitrate all disputes and claims between them is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between You and Provider, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising), claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which You are not a member of a certified class and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement, or claims that arise after termination of this agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13, references to “You” include Your subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all Authorized Users or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Service. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND PROVIDER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
B. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice (“Arbitration Notice”). An Arbitration Notice to Provider must be addressed to Provider at the address set forth in these Terms & Conditions for notices. An Arbitration Notice to You must be addressed to You at Your then-current billing address. The Arbitration Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If You and Provider do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 60 calendar days after the Arbitration Notice is received, You or Provider may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Provider or You shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or Provider is entitled.
C. The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and, in the event You are a consumer then the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, (in either case referred to herein as the, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or written request to the Provider. The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are reserved to the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless You and Provider agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings shall take place in Tarrant County, Texas; provided, that if you are a consumer and an arbitrator reasonably determines that arbitration in Tarrant County would be overly burdensome then the arbitrator may move the arbitration to a more convenient county. The right to a hearing shall be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The party initiating arbitration proceedings shall bear all the arbitration-related costs and expenses of both parties including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses.
D. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND PROVIDER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both You and Provider agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
E. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, You and Provider agree that if Provider makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the address to which an Arbitration Notice is to be sent), You may reject any such change by sending Provider written notice within 30 days of the change. By rejecting any future change, You agree that You will arbitrate any dispute between You and Provider in accordance with the language of this provision.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Provider, its Affiliates, operational service providers, agents, third party licensors and suppliers and their respective members, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and contractors, and each of their successors and assigns (collectively, the “Provider Indemnitees”) from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and other claims brought against any Provider Indemnitee(s) related to (i) Your use of the Service or any violation of these Terms & Conditions and all other documents incorporated herein by reference) including, but not limited to, claims that Your use of the Service infringed on the patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right of any third party, or Your violation of any law or the rights of another and claims resulting from Your negligence; or (ii) related to the unavailability of the Services. You agree to pay any attorneys’ fees incurred by Provider and/or any other Provider Indemnitee in connection with the defense of any such third-party claims. We reserve the right to assume the defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by You, in which event you will cooperate with Us in asserting any available defenses.
15. Termination of Service
A. IF YOU CANCEL THE SERVICE OR ANY ASPECT THEREOF FOR ANY REASON AFTER THE ACTIVATION DATE, PROVIDER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO REFUND YOU ANY PORTION OF THE MONTHLY FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE MONTH IN WHICH CANCELLATION OCCURS, UNLESS REQUIRED OTHERWISE BY STATE LAW.
B. You may terminate the Service at any time by following Provider’s then-in-effect cancellation procedures, or by calling Provider at Provider’s Customer service telephone number as set forth on Provider’s website provided, however, that Provider may take reasonable steps to verify Your identity and authority before effecting such termination, which steps may include, without limitation, requiring Your written confirmation of such termination before the same shall be effective, and provided further, that any termination request received later than the tenth calendar day before the first day of the Your Monthly Billing Cycle shall not be effective until the end of Your next full Monthly Billing Cycle. Upon termination, You agree to pay any account balance and any applicable Early Termination Fee, and to return any Provider Equipment or pay the Equipment Non-Return Fee as set forth in Section 2(b) herein.
C. In the event You are a Residential Customer and You terminate the Service prior to the expiration of any Term, You will pay Provider an early termination fee (“Early Termination Fee”) equal to the lesser of (i) the amount set forth on the Service Agreement as the Early Termination Fee, if any, or (ii) $250.00. In the event You are a Commercial Customer and You terminate the Service prior to the expiration of any Term, You will pay Provider an Early Termination Fee equal to the lesser of (i) the amount set forth on the Service Agreement as the Early Termination Fee, if any, or (ii) an amount equal to (A) the number of months remaining in the Term Commitment, times (B) the sixty (60%) of the remaining Monthly Fee. Such Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable immediately upon termination of the Service.
D. The Service and all Service features are subject to availability on an ongoing basis. You understand that Provider may cease to offer the Service or any Service feature at any time, for any reason or no reason, and without notice to You. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Provider may suspend, disconnect or terminate the Service at any time without prior notice if Provider believes in its sole discretion that You have (i) failed to pay Your bill when due, (ii) threatened or harassed any Provider employee, agent or contractor or (iii) violated the AUP or any other provision of this Agreement.
E. If the Service to You is disconnected for any reason or Service is suspended in accordance with this Agreement, Provider may charge You (i) for Service during the period of disconnection or suspension in accordance with applicable federal and state law and (ii) reasonable disconnection and reconnection fees.
F. In the event that Your account is suspended, disconnected or terminated, no refund, including of fees paid by You to Provider, shall be granted. Moreover, Provider shall not be responsible for the return of data stored on Provider’s servers, including web and email servers. You agree that Provider has no obligation to visit Your home upon termination to reconfigure Your computer(s) or for any other reason.
G. Sections 3 through 7, and 10 through 16 herein shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
