Black CyberSpace OnLine, Inc. Internet Access Service Acceptable Use Policy


1. Registration and Use

Welcome to Black CyberSpace OnLine, Inc. Internet Access Service, ("BCS"). BCS, shall provide you with BCS Internet Access Service under the terms and conditions embodied in this Agreement (the "Agreement"). BCS may, from time to time, notify you of changes or additions to this Agreement, and your continued use of BCS after BCS so notifies you will signify that you agree to such changes or additions. You agree that this Agreement is personal to you and that you will not knowingly allow more than four (4) other individuals in your immediate family, household or business to use the enclosed user name or password to access your BCS Internet account (the "Account") without prior written approval from BCS, provided, however, that only you or one other such individual may use your Account at any particular time and you may not resell or redistribute any portion of BCS or provide access to your Account to any third party for financial gain. You agree to provide to the individuals referenced in the preceding sentence a copy of this Agreement and to inform them that their use of BCS is subject to the terms and conditions hereof. You agree that you are solely and fully responsible for your conduct and such individuals' conduct while using BCS, and for any consequences if you or such individual misuses BCS, violates this Agreement, or accesses material or information which you feel is obscene or otherwise objectionable.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING BCS. BY USING YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD TO ACCESS BCS, YOU WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU HAVE AGREED TO BECOME A PARTY TO, AND TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY, THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE BCS. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ACCESS OR USE BCS, ANY COMPUTER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND BCS SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AND YOUR USE OF SOFTWARE, IF ANY, RECEIVED FROM BCS SHALL BE SOLELY PURSUANT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH APPLICABLE COMPUTER SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENTS.

2. Fees and Payment

BCS will provide BCS Internet Access Service to you for a base monthly fee (See BCS PLANS); and you are also responsible for all related charges, such as applicable telephone charges and necessary computer and communication equipment and services. You are also responsible for all charges you incur through use of BCS, such as by purchasing goods and services over the Internet. BCS reserves the right to change its fees at any time for any reason; provided, however, that whenever possible, BCS will give you reasonable notice of such change. From time to time, BCS may add or modify certain services relating to BCS, and BCS reserves the right to charge you additional or different fees in consideration for providing such new or modified services to you.

It is possible the access number you program your modem to use to connect to BCS may be a telephone number that results in additional or long distance charges being billed to you by a third party even if such number was presented by BCS as an appropriate access number for your area. You are solely responsible for determining whether the access number you use is subject to any additional charges. It is your responsibility to contact your telephone company to determine whether the access number you select is subject to additional charges. You agree to pay any charges you incur by using a long distance telephone number to connect to BCS, including those that may be billed to you by a third party. BCS will not reimburse you for any charges incurred by you as a result of selecting an access number that is subject to additional and/or long distance charges.

3. Uncensored Internet Access

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BCS PROVIDES FULL, UNCENSORED ACCESS TO MATERIALS ON THE INTERNET CREATED AND MAINTAINED BY UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES. BCS EXERTS NO EDITORIAL CONTROL OVER SUCH MATERIALS, PORTIONS OF WHICH MAY BE CONSIDERED SEXUALLY EXPLICIT, OBSCENE OR OTHERWISE OFFENSIVE. IN NO EVENT SHALL BCS BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATERIALS FROM THIRD PARTIES ACCESSED THROUGH BCS. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF BCS AND THE INTERNET GENERALLY.

The amount of e-mail and instant message storage space per member may be limited, therefore some e-mail and instant messages may not be processed due to space constraints. You agree that BCS is not responsible or liable for the loss, deletion or failure to store or accept messages or other information. The use of any software that would prohibit BCS’s automatic log off system or part thereof from performing as intended is prohibited.

BCS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WEBCASTING OR ANY OTHER FORM OF TRANSMISSION RECEIVED FROM ANY LINKED SITE.
