INTERNET SERVICE AGREEMENT

Read This Internet Service Agreement Carefully Before Using Our Internet Services.

1. INTRODUCTION.
Public-Access.Net Internet Services, Inc. ("PAI") provides its Internet services, as they may exist from time to time ("Services"), to users who pay a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Services ("Members") as well as to those who access some of our Services but do not have accounts ("Visitors"). By establishing an account or using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and to use the Services in compliance with this Agreement, our Acceptable Use Policy and other policies. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any future revisions, you may not use the Services and if you are a current Member, you must terminate your use of the Services under Section 10

2. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS.
Members must be at least 18 years old. Local access dial-up numbers may not be available in all areas. You are solely responsible for determining if use of a particular dial-up number will cause you to incur long-distance, toll, or other charges. PAI is not responsible for any long-distance, toll or other telecommunications charges you incur. Toll-free (800 #), international, and simultaneous login access costs are extra. Current prices for PAI’s Services are posted throughout our website at http://www.public-access.net. These rates may also be obtained by calling (314) 215-4161. PAI reserves the right to change prices and institute new fees at any time upon 30 days prior notice.

3. PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS OF A MEMBER.
(a) Members must (i) provide PAI with accurate and complete billing information including legal name, address, telephone number, and credit card/billing information, and (ii) report to PAI all changes to this information within thirty (30) days of the change. Members are responsible for any charges to their account. (b) Members having questions regarding charges to an account, should contact PAI’s Customer Service Department at (314) 215-4161. All charges are considered valid unless disputed in writing within thirty(30) days of the billing date. Adjustments will not be made for charges that are more than 30days old. (c) Charges are billed to Members’ credit cards or debit cards, as applicable, each month for the basic service and any additional usage or services. PAI is not responsible for any charges or expenses (e.g for overdrawn accounts, exceeding credit card limits, etc.) resulting from charges billed by PAI. (e) If you purchase Services through a reseller who in turns pays PAI, the reseller must pay all amounts owing for your account. If the reseller fails to pay PAI any amounts due whether or not you have paid the reseller your account will be subject to suspension or cancellation until you or the reseller has paid all amounts due. (f) Delinquent accounts may be suspended or canceled at PAI’s sole discretion; however, charges will continue to accrue until the account is canceled. PAI may bill an additional charge to reinstate a suspended account. (g) The full monthly rate will be charged regardless of which day of month a Member subscribes for service due to contractual agreements with the national network. (h) By subscribing to PAI's service the Member expressly agrees not to dispute any charges for service with a credit-card company (i.e. initiate a charge-back to PAI) and any disputes or other conflicts which may arise between PAI and the Member shall be handled in accordance with paragraph ten (10) of this Agreement.

4. MEMBER'S ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, AND SECURITY.
Upon registration, Members receive a username, password, and account designation. You are the only authorized users of your PAI account and must comply with this Agreement. You must keep your password confidential so that no one else may access the Services through your account. You must notify PAI immediately upon 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 PAI’s discretion, be transferred to a compressed temporary file or storage. PAI may delete the temporary file from the server 60 days after notifying you. Any free Web site exceeding 5MB may be suspended until the Member reduces the disk space usage to 5MB or less or purchases additional megabytes. Any free Web site exceeding 250MB of traffic will be billed for excess traffic. You may establish a commercial or high-volume account by calling (636) 458-2866. Members agree not to use any automatic method to avoid inactivity disconnect or to otherwise maintain a connection unless actively using it. Members agree not to provide any public information services over a dial-up connection. PAI may change its POP numbers at any time. PAI reserves the right to direct Members to use certain numbers to access the Service or to restrict use of specific access numbers. Usernames, passwords and email addresses are PAI’s property and PAI may alter or replace them at any time.

5. MONITORING THE SERVICES.
PAI has no obligation to monitor the Services, but may do so and disclose information regarding use of the Services for any reason if PAI, in its sole discretion, believes that it is reasonable to do so, including to: satisfy laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests; operate the Services properly; or protect itself and its Members.
