pornography, prostitution, child pornography, robbery,
proliferating computer viruses, cracking into private
computer systems, software infringement, trafficking in
credit card codes, or other crimes.
Upon discovery of such activity, we WILL inform the
appropriate authorities.
People sometimes have trouble determining whether certain
activities are illegal. It's usually not that hard. If it's
illegal "out there," it's illegal "in HERE"! Using us to
commit a crime doesn't make it any less a crime. In fact, if
you use us to commit a crime, you're exposing the operators
of the system and its other callers, to legal risks that
should be yours alone.
If you genuinely do not know whether something you'd like to
do is legal or illegal, please discuss it with us before you
proceed. And if we tell you we do not want you to pursue
your plans on our system, please respect our decision.
NO RESELLING OF YOUR ACCOUNT
This is closely related to the above policy. Your UNLIMITED
Account is meant to be FOR YOU to be used BY YOU. If you are
dialing into us to provide internet services to a BBS, a
network of computers, you are overstepping the scope of your
dialup account, and must have us quote you for a commercial
or business account.
PAYMENT FOR YOUR ACCOUNT
All customers and subscribers of Ultra-Vision agree unconditionally to the payment
terms set fourth in their service agreement, i.e. All fees will normally be invoiced on
the anniversary of the sign up date and the terms will be net fifteen (15) days. If payment is not
received according to the terms, services will be discontinued and an additional setup fee
in the
amount of $25.00 may be required to reconnect services.
REFUNDS
All Refunds will be handled as follows:
- No refunds on monthly accounts that have successfully connected
- No refunds on any other account after one month of
service.
- An amount equal to the current monthly rate and setup fee will be deducted from any refund on accounts that have successfully connected.
NO PONZI SCHEMES, SPAM, OR CHAIN LETTERS.
This includes, but is not limited to: "David Rhodes"
letters, Make Money Fast letters, multi-level money scams &
other pyramid schemes. We do NOT want our customers falling
prey to hoaxes. This ALSO APPLIES to USENET SPAMMING or
EXCESSIVE CROSSPOSTING to USENET Groups. We're a big happy
internet community, and Ultra-Vision Internet does its part
to make it a safe and fun one.
CHANGES & STATUS
We reserve the right to make ANY changes to to the system in
ANY way without prior notice. This includes but is not
limited to our rates, services offered, access numbers &
online availability.
OUR RIGHTS
We reserve the right to delete ANY ACCOUNT regardless of
Member status. This is to give us power over trouble-makers
who are affecting the online sessions of other users. (Fair
enough?)
A SURE way to get deleted or suspended is to ABUSE, BASH or
in any other way HARASS other users, thereby affecting their
online enjoyment. And you'd also get NO REFUND of unused
time.
