Provider reserves the right to terminate Service and to charge subscriber’s credit card account for any outstanding Termination Charges, Service Fees or Equipment in the month prior to the expiration date of said credit card unless subscriber shall provide evidence satisfactory to Provider of the renewal or extension of the expiration date of such credit card more than 30 days prior to the expiration date of the credit card.

Subject to applicable law, Provider reserves the right to change the Services and Equipment and the prices for such Services and Equipment at any time, unless otherwise indicated on the Price List.

Non-Proliferation or Redistribution of Service

Subscriber agrees not to use its residential access to the Network for the purpose of providing hosting base access services such as web server ftp, game servers, streaming media servers, or similar high bandwidth consuming uses unless agreed to in writing by Provider.

Termination or Denial of Service

By subscriber: Subscriber may terminate the Services by giving Provider written notice of termination no less than one (1) month prior to the date upon which subscriber desires to terminate service. If subscriber has rented Equipment from Provider, such termination shall not be effective until receipt by Provider of the return of the Equipment in operating order or payment by subscriber of the full original price for such equipment. By Provider: Provider may terminate service to any subscriber without notice if any user of subscriber’s Access privileges violates Provider’s acceptable use policy published on the Provider’s web site, subscriber fails to pay for any service, rental or purchase of Equipment in advance, or any user of Subscriber’s subscription violates these Terms and Conditions. Provider reserves the right to refuse to provide service to, or to terminate service to, any person, entity or subscriber that is delinquent in payments due Provider, does not provide adequate security for prepayment of fees acceptable to Provider, or is otherwise not in good standing with Provider in its sole discretion.
