You may not store material on, or transmit material over OlympusNet's information systems or servers in any manner that infringes the intellectual property rights of any entity or individual.

Accessing or attempting to access the computer(s) or accounts of others without their permission or breaching the security of other systems, regardless of success or failure, is prohibited. This also applies to unauthorized mail or Web relay/proxy access attempts and port scans.

Email Spam:

Transmission of unsolicited email from OlympusNet's network is prohibited.

OlympusNet blocks inbound mail from certain sites from reaching OlympusNet equipment. The purpose of this is to stem the flood of spam mail.

Newsgroup Spam:

Posting of messages to newsgroups that are off-topic or mass posting of messages to newsgroups is prohibited.

Dissemination of Viruses:

Intentional or unintentional release of malicious software that results in annoyance, damage or harassment is prohibited.

Excessive Use:

If you use any of your OlympusNet services in a manner which consumes excessive bandwidth, excessively loads OlympusNet's equipment or networks, affects other customer services or requires administrative attention, OlympusNet may require that you cease or alter these activities.

Mass mailings which result in more than 200 bounced emails will be charged $75. Such bounces increase the risk that OlympusNet mail is rejected by certain ISPs and requires administrator clean-up. The sender of the bounced mail will receive an email from OlympusNet with the email addresses that bounced. Note that OlympusNet offers mailing lists which, when properly configured, will automatically remove bounces.

Passwords:

You must notify OlympusNet immediately if your account has been or may have been compromised.

Account Billing & Invoicing:

OlympusNet may perform a credit/background check prior to order placement and may cancel the order without liability to either party or require prepayment based on the results of this check.

Billing will start on your Activation Date, the date your service is activated. Services are non-refundable regardless of usage. Please notify OlympusNet as soon as possible if there is a circumstance which may justify a refund or credit. Service fees may include applicable state and federal taxes and fees in addition to the advertised rate.

Note that OlympusNet charges for service even if you do not use that service as our servers and communications equipment store your setup and email, Web data, IP address, etc.

To terminate your OlympusNet service(s), you must contact us via telephone or email on or before the effective date. All disconnection requests will be processed on the date the request is received. This applies to both total account and single service terminations. You must provide an email address to which we will send a Cancellation Confirmation with a copy going to your current (old) email address. If you do not receive our Cancellation Confirmation, it means we have not received your request. It is your responsibility to contact us once again as outlined above so that we can send the Cancellation Confirmation to you. You will be responsible for fees incurred up to the date of cancellation of the service. We will reimburse you for unused fees where appropriate on a pro-rata basis.

Non-payment is not considered cancellation notification, nor is moving without notification. Cancellation of your account does not remove your responsibility under this agreement to pay all fees incurred up to the date of Cancellation including any late fees.

Specific Services

In addition to the terms provided in the All Services section of this document, the following terms apply specifically to OlympusNet's Connectivity and Web Hosting Services.

DSL:

You authorize OlympusNet to order Qwest DSL service for you through Qwest for the speed you specify. You understand that you are authorizing Qwest to charge you for Qwest DSL Subscriber service and OlympusNet to charge you for Internet service.

The throughput you receive can vary from line to line depending on a variety of factors such as internal wiring, line quality, location, Internet traffic, and other variables outside of OlympusNet's control. Owing to this, OlympusNet provides Internet access via DSL as a best effort service and cannot guarantee upload or download speeds.

Dialup:

Dialup connection numbers and methods are subject to change or replacement at any time. OlympusNet reserves the right to direct those with dialup service to specific numbers or restrict the use of others. You are responsible for any long distance charges associated with the use of your OlympusNet dialup service.

Your OlympusNet dialup service is restricted to one connection per unique OlympusNet username at a time. Simultaneous dialup connections are prohibited. OlympusNet's standard dialup service includes 200 hours of connectivity per month. Unlimited service is available for users needing more than 200 hours connection time per month. Unlimited service does not provide a dedicated connection.

Dialup service does not come with an uptime or connection throughput service guarantee.

Running an Email Server:

To send mail through OlympusNet's mail servers, you must authenticate that mail through an OlympusNet email account. If you receive mail, your mail server must reject faulty addresses at SMTP time rather than generating bounces. Your mail server must not bounce spam, nor viruses or other malware. It is acceptable and preferable to reject those items at SMTP time.

Hosting:

Should your Web site utilize an excessive amount of server resources (including, but not limited to, CPU processing time, memory usage and network resources for a sustained period of time,) OlympusNet reserves the right to request that you either upgrade your Web hosting service package or reduce your Web site's use of resources to an acceptable level. OlympusNet will be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be an excessive amount of server resources. OlympusNet reserves the right to suspend or shut down any Web Hosting account deemed to adversely affect server performance or network integrity.

OlympusNet reserves the right to limit, restrict or prioritize access to system resources, including CPU time, memory, disk space and disk throughput.

Websites must not provide forms or other technologies that the public could use to send spam.

Domains:

If you wish to have a permanent email address, we urge you to register and use a domain name. You agree that the use of this name does not violate trademark or other statutes. (Note that registering a domain name does not confer any legal rights to that name and any disputes between parties over the rights to use a particular name are to be settled between the contending parties using normal legal methods). See RFC 1591.

If you have applied for a domain name, do not make commitments involving that name until you have tested it by receiving mail addressed to your domain from sites other than OlympusNet.

Scripts:

Scripts that pose a potential security risk and/or are deemed to adversely affect server performance or network integrity will be shut down or removed without prior notice.

Content Restrictions:

All content hosted on OlympusNet's servers is subject to our Acceptable Use policies. OlympusNet servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage or distribution of any information, data or material in violation of any applicable law or regulation, or that may directly facilitate the violation of any particular law or regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, Intellectual Property Rights Infringement, child pornography and material that constitutes an illegal threat or violates export control laws.

Modifications:

OlympusNet may modify from time to time, and in any way, without limitation, any data, software, or hardware used to provide OlympusNet's services. Certain changes to OlympusNet's services may affect the operation of your personalized applications and content. While OlympusNet will work with you to provide proper notice of such changes, you are solely responsible and OlympusNet is not liable for personalized applications or content, except as expressly agreed to by OlympusNet.

Backup of Data:

You are solely and entirely responsible for the management and backup of all your data, and all updates, upgrades, and patches to any software that you use in connection with OlympusNet services.

Non-OlympusNet Products:

Any mention of non-OlympusNet products by OlympusNet and its employees is for information purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by OlympusNet. OlympusNet disclaims any and all liabilities for any representation or warranty made by the vendors of such non-OlympusNet products or services.
