Interference with or disruption of other network users, network services
or network equipment is prohibited. It is the Member's responsibility to
ensure that their network is configured in a secure manner. A Member may
not, through action or inaction, allow others to use their network for
illegal or inappropriate actions. A Member may not permit their network,
through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that gives a
third party the capability to use their network in an illegal or

m. News. CCS Members should use their best judgment when posting to
any newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQs, or
"community standards" describing what is and is not considered
appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable resource if used properly. The
continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial
advertisements are off-topic in most newsgroups, especially regional
groups not specifically named for such. The presence of such articles in
a group is not indicative of the group's "intended" use. Please
familiarize yourself with basic Usenet netiquette before posting to a
newsgroup.
n. Long Connections and Multiple Logins. Using a personal account for
high volume or commercial use is prohibited. The Services are intended
for periodic, active use of email, newsgroups, file transfers, Internet
chat, games, and browsing the World Wide Web. CCS reserves the right to
terminate or suspend accounts based on excessive volume or bandwidth
consumption at any time, and CCS discretion.
o. Exceeding Web Site and E-mail Size and Traffic Limitations: Each
member's account is allocated a certain amount of traffic per month
(traffic is calculated on a CCS bandwidth utilization formula). If an
account exceeds its maximum monthly allotment of traffic, the account
will become unavailable. All accounts and servers located at the CCS
facilities are subject to traffic quotas, throttling, filtering or
monitoring at CCS's discretion.
p. Neglect of payment. Upon use of a CCS or affiliated service, you agree to pay the advertised or contractual charges for that service. The beginning and end scope of the project and time of completion is at the sole discretion of CCS. CCS reserves the right to terminate or
suspend any account based on neglect of payment (recurring or invoiced). All
add-on or upgrade services require payment of base service. In the event
the base service is cancelled, add-on or upgrade services may either be
cancelled, or re-billed at the appropriate rate.
Customer is responsible for all fees (rebilling, legal and collection)
in the payment collection process. Cancellation of service should be
done in writing to CCS a minimum of 60 days prior to service
cancellation date. This includes services and equipment both under verbal or signed agreements.
Verbal clauses and/or modifications for equipment, services or properties of agreed service may be added to or changed on signed agreements. The customer's use and/or
acknowledgement of the addition of the contents of the clause or addition is the customer's authorization of that modification.
We reserve the right to withhold service, equipment,
data or Internet assets until all expenses have been paid. We also reserve the right to hold
customer credit card details
on file as a means of payment security or personal identification when
applicable. Any use of a stolen, fraudulent, or other illegal
type of credit card or payment may results in penalties from CCS and/or
legal prosecution by the appropriate authorities. We will not tolerate
any illegal activity associated with our services.
CCS shall not be liable for direct, indirect, consequential, or
incidental damages, or damages for lost profits, loss of revenue or loss
of use, cost of replacement goods, loss or damage to data arising out of
the use or inability to use any CCS product or service. This also
includes any action
taken or neglected by CCS, vendors, contractors, employees, users or
customers of CCS, even if CCS has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. Use of the CCS services and products is at
your own risk. CCS is not responsible for the accuracy of the
information contained on web sites and documentation. CCS reserves the
right to make changes to web sites and documentation at anytime without
notice. Any customer property must be properly insured in transit to,
from and while at CCS facilities against fire, theft, electrical
damages, data loss, network intrusion, accidental damage or any other
form of physical or intellectual loss. Customer will also be held liable
for any physical or intellectual damages that customer property may
cause to CCS facilities, networks, power structures or other
property not owned by the customer.
